Hi everyone. Mom emailed me to remind me to update my blog. I am getting over a bad cold...but thank goodness not the full blown flu or anything. I have a presentation on chemical terrorism to give at the Northwest Medical Laboratory Symposium on Friday and have not gotten to practice my Power Point yet so I am a little nervous. I will practice this week for sure. Other than that, I am getting excited for Halloween. I am dressing up like Abby from the TV show NCIS...she is gothic a forensic scientist who is totally cool. I have been invited to a costume party in Olympia on the 24th and am going to dress up for work on that Friday too. Meet some friends on Halloween and get to dress up yet again! I love Halloween! I am including pictures of my costume last year and will update with pictures from this year. Also, I won the pumpking carving contest last year at work with lovely piece of art I call FrankinPumkin...He is adorned with all old scientific instrumenation parts...
