One weekend in Boston...



My much anticipated weekend in Boston finally arrived and ended too quickly. 


The wedding was fun especially since for once I didn't have the stress of running around like a chicken with her head cut off. I just sat down, crossed my legs and looked very pretty in my outfit. I reconnected with so many old friends that I grew up with. It was fun! 
Outfit: aso ebi designed by my cuz. :) they are shorts!
Bag: Asos
Bangles + Earrings: Chic Therapy. Random silver bangles

Church on Sunday was great. I went with my two sisters and their husbands to Jubilee. The message was on point. I need to make sure I get the tape so I can really pay attention. It was great to go to church as a family. Quick parallel, the church was so excited that the oldest son was coming to town to preach. The church was packed. My sisters were just as excited about my return, quiet as its kept. Well, parents are always excited, that's a given. 

Brunch with my sisters was so awesome too.  We went to Darryl's Corner Bar and Kitchen in Roxbury/South End (depending on who you ask) formerly known as Bob the Chef. Delicious! We just sat and talked and talked and talked. I love my family soo much. And then just like a dream it was over and  I'm writing this 30000 miles above sea level headed to Dallas. 

 Sun was in my eyes.
 I somehow lost my  shades at the party. Only me.
So excuse the crazy pose. LOL.

That weekend right there should be a regular occurrence in my life. Well, not the rich food part, I'll be a roly poly. If I had that fellowship with friends and family regularly, work wouldn't be so dreary. God knew what He was doing when he placed man in family. You need to draw from that well of love on a regular basis in order to be able to live well, work well, love well. I have to make it happen somehow: put myself in a community of friends and family. God make it happen for me please.

working and the medical student.

Somehow I've become a writer who can't seem to bring herself to write. Okay, so to answer a question posed by bijouxoxo ten thousand years ago. Is possible to work and attend medical school? My biased answer is hell no. Do it at your peril. Medical school is all consuming. It's a jealous beast that wants the student's mind, heart, time, life. That's my word. There's just so much to learn and so little time in the day. Medical schools are trying to improve quality of life by shortening class hours but nevertheless we still spend at least 6 hours per day in class. Enough analysis, let me break it down but keep in mind that every school is different. First Year, first semester: My courses were Anatomy (time consumer), Biochemistry, Genetics, Nutrition, Physicians Patients & Society (PPS, discussing how to be a doc, ethics, customs, etc, luckily only once a week but two hours long, in the afternoon), Longitudinal Preceptor Program(LPP; follow a doctor for 2 yea...

2013 already!

I can't believe my last post was in November. Despite my good intentions, December was a wasteland in terms of my writing and life goals. I moved to my new apartment, came down with the flu or rather an influenza like illness, and have just been so blah. The cold weather is not helping either. I really cannot stand the cold, it tends to sap my energy. As always, I have a few goals for the new year. I already feel all kinds of stressed because it is already Janaury 4th and I haven't made any moves. I did do one half hearted workout the other day but it was bitter cold. I could actually feel the cold going through my hoodie, my t-shirt, my skin, my bones and grabbing my heart and lungs and squeezing them to death.  I scurried back home and vowed to buy some winter gear. Total mileage 1.6 miles. Yeah pitiful. My goals this year are simple: 1. Get with God and just delight myself in Him. Ps 37:5. I want to be serious about my walk with God this year. I promised myself last ...

Pinterest Cookbook: Recipe 2 -Cannellini & Cabbage Soup

Source: fitnessmagazine.com via oluyemisi on Pinterest This turned out to to be very easy to make, and quite delicious too. Of course I modified the recipe. I added onions to the cabbage, carrots and garlic mix and sauteed that with black pepper and curry. I was generous with the black pepper because it is freezing out here and I need to warm up. Also, I'm battling a bit of congestion.  I used a mix of beans, garbanzo and cannellini, and also added tomatillo and celery. I think I was too generous with the tomato paste, I had a can that I had opened for the black bean chili so I wanted to be done with it so it wouldn't be a waste. It took no time at all to cook, I made this after work on Monday, and it was good and filling and comforting especially after the hectic day that I had.
