Trying a New Fruit: Red Pummelo

My roommates and I tried this fruit recently. It's a beautiful fruit that tastes a lot like a grape fruit. A little tricky to eat because the sections are separated similarly to any other citrus, but we found the dividing membranes to be much tougher to get through.

Decorations: February Hearts

Today my clinical instructor at my pediatric rotation said that I am finding my inner kid more and more each week. Then I come home and spend time cutting hearts out of felt to make February decorations. After December's coloring pages, I think I'm on a roll for having an under age appropriate taste in room decorations.

After a little thought, I've decided that I like the decorations, and I'll consider the comment from my CI high praise.

Reading: Unwinding at the End of the Day

At the end of the day, I often read by candle light. I find that the soft light is a nice transition at the end of the day. I reminisce on times when the flame was the only source of light at night. It tends to slow my pace. Quiet my mind. Lull me to sleep.

Growing Things: Amaryllis Blossom

My roommate gave me an amaryllis for Christmas. I planted it around the first of January, and it has been growing fervently on top of my bookshelf quite unaware of the cold, snowy weather outdoors. Yesterday it sleeted, and my plant blossomed.

Holiday Wrap Up: Advent Coloring

I haven't posted in a long time, but I couldn't let the holiday season slip away without saying thank you to Elsie Marley of http://www.elsiemarley.com/. She posted a coloring page PDF for each day of advent in December. So, with my studies and preparation for my BIG graduate program comprehensive exam, I looked forward to coloring a page each day! Go here to see other pages people colored.




I think the stockings were my favorite to color.



Hopefully, you can look forward to more consistent posting in the future!
