Post #400

Nichole and I made cupcakes because we are both at the point in our lives where if we don't get some chocolate in our systems WE WILL DIE. As you can see, I decorated two Valentines-y ones, a "bee" mine, a skull and crossbones, and yep, that would be an ovum complete with Chromosome, golgi apparatus, lysosome, peroxisome, free floating ribosomes, mitochondria (it matches your mom's you know), and microtubules.

Sometimes, I imagine I will look at my mom right after the birth of my child and go "Wow, his/her mitochondiral DNA looks just like yours!" And I will laugh, and my mom will laugh, and Sarah would laugh, and my doctor and the nurses would laugh. And Drew wouldn't get it, but maybe he should have paid attention in high school.
