There's nothing better than waking up from a post-call nap to see the smiling face of a former Rice roommate! A couple weekends ago, I had the pleasure of Ny-Ying's company. Since it was my "Golden weekend" (both Saturday and Sunday off), we got to spend some quality time together around Houston and with other Rice friends. First we went to Bowl for soup/salad then to Red Lion Pub for drinks and fish and chips. We had tons of fun catching up, enjoying the Christmasy glow of the patio, and taking some ridiculous commemorative photos (above).
Ny-Ying, Teresa, and I embraced our inner girlishness and donned our Saturday best. For our visiting Georgian, we had Texas barbecue at Goode Company (above). Then we romped around Rice. We decided that the hedges were worthy of jumping, so we hiked up our dresses and gave the Rice tradition a go. It sure would have been nice if our fourth and final roommate Katherine had been there, but she had learning to do at Yale. Such is life.
That night, we joined forces with Teresa's boyfriend Dane and two members of our favorite boy's quad from Lovett College: Andrew (aka Traverso, his last name) and Eric (aka Steve, because he really just looks more like a Steve). Will was stuck in Dallas, and Adam was probably surfing and eating fish tacos in California. Anyway, we whipped up a fancy dinner for ourselves and played an amazing game of Cranium.
On Sunday morning I insisted that Ny-Ying join me on my couponing adventures. We stopped by Crave Cupcakes for some free peppermint hot chocolate. Then we went to Sprinkles Cupcakes for free chocolate peppermint cupcakes. Just as our blood sugars peaked in the 300s, we zoomed over to the Landmark River Oaks Theater to watch
127 Hours, featuring James Franco's hand trapped under a boulder.
Due to weather problems in Atlanta, Ny-Ying's flight home was canceled and she got to stay an extra night on my pullout couch. On Monday morning she made it safely home to return to med school at Emory and her remaining residency interviews for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Can't wait to see where she ends up!
