5 things I learned at AHCJ12

Inspired by Bill Heisel, here goes: 1.  Sometimes, you can go home again.  It’s been several years since I attended AHCJ, due to budget cutbacks when I was at the Univ. of Washington.  With my new job at Seattle Children’s, we each have a small budget to travel, “learn and grow.” I’m grateful that I

Tulle and me.

I want to take ballet lessons, and have been looking into class options in Seattle. It would be the first time I’ve taken a dance class since I was a kid, but I’ve been inspired by the Seattle dance scene and also after seeing the Trey McIntyre Project at Bumbershoot in the fall.  The female [...]

Follow-through

I finally called Seattle Cancer Care Alliance to discuss the less-than-great visit I had in March.  Yes, it took me nearly six months and I have no real explanation as to why it took me so long.  Friends encouraged me to do so when I relayed my story over these months, and I thank them [...]

Love the Lauren

I look forward to the Sunday New York Times for several reasons, and the Styles section is perhaps the first one that I go to for interesting pop culture-related features and trends, celebrity & interesting people profiles (recent one on the Zappos.com founder, Tony Hsieh), the Modern Love column an

Finding needs more study.

We recommend that you have further images taken. The letter was dated March 17, 2011 and came from the Univ. of Washington Medical Center/ Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA). I received it on the next day, Friday, and wasn’t sure what to think.  I’d gone for my annual exam earlier in the week, and

I wish.

that I didn’t care so much about him today. He is perhaps back with his ex and I found out via mutual friends this week.  Sigh.  It took a “fuck off” voicemail message for him to even rear his head. Work stress, and I realize it’s true and pretty extreme, was the over-arching theme of [...]

For Elizabeth R. – booby photos

Alas, the feet are not so apparent in my photos.  But I hope it helps if I describe the color. The blue feet were the most apparent, and they were the color of public swimming pool blue. It was quite unreal.  I think in one of these shots (maybe the cave picture), you can see [...]

Surf’s up, and my new abs o’ steel.

I didn’t get sad until I walked across the tarmac at the airport in Puerto Vallarta. But as Olivia and I approached the plane, warm sun beating down on our heads and shoulders, it hit me that this most restful and physically challenging week was coming to an end. I was heading back to Seattle, [...]

Twitter buds.

I am the pseudo … or maybe de facto social media expert in my office and run the Twitter account for UW Medicine News. I started tweeting nearly a year and one-half ago and we now have nearly 1,650 followers. I have fun tweeting, see breaking news before others on the team (Mark Emmert leaves [...]

Not. taken. seriously. But it’s OK

I needed new eye cream today and spotted a great “gift with purchase” from Estee Lauder in the Nordstrom catalog that arrived this week. An $80 value with purchase of $29.50 or more. What a deal! Still feeling not-so-great in the morning, I opted for a trip downtown instead of heading to yoga. New m
