Given the chance, I’d love to go back to school to get a graduate degree, yes, maybe an online university degree from an established institution such as Capella.
I’ve always liked school. If I had to choose, I’d choose school over employment. I don’t know why that sounds crazy to people. Seriously who likes to work? [...]

It never ceases to amaze me how some women can spend all day in their heels. Doesn’t it make you want to keel over at some point? Well, I guess maybe practice makes perfect.
I certainly couldn’t do it. That’s why I stick to flats when I’m on the go. Not flip-flops though, I’m pretty hopeless [...]

Apparently it’s cool to be a doctor these days, a friend’s 7-year-old was telling me. He says his mom lets him play games on her PDA when she’s not using it for work.

It sounds pretty interesting considering how much red tape that cuts through as opposed to the conventional means of applying and [...]

I’m not sure how many of us associate doctors with being geeks but it seems that many doctors now carry PDA or smartphones in their lab coats?
And why not? Epocrates offers a medical reference software in the form of free medical PDA software with free pocket PC, Palm and Windows Mobile software as well.

When I was in school, I was an avid stamp collector just like all my friends were. We were always exchanging stamps and buying new albums. I even had a pen pal just so I could collect stamps from France.
I don’t know why Postage Stamp Collecting was such a popular hobby in those days. Maybe [...]

I don’t even want to mention what we did this past weekend. Well, ‘nothing’ is the word except a quick run to the grocery store to get more bread and milk.
All my three kids have been down with the flu and fever since Friday. Well, it didn’t all happen at once. One caught the flu [...]

You may be surprised that there are some folks who spend their weekends on trying to earn themselves a degree instead of running around town having a good time like the rest of us.
Actually it’s not such a bad idea. After all, although many of us can only think of having fun on the weekend, [...]
