Experience doing Westerns with Licor anyone!

If so do you know the answer to this Q:.

I was told by the rep that if I dry my membrane after staining with my secondaries, I will get a better signal, however I would not be able to strip and reprobe? does that mean I will also not be able to just reprobe?? I use nitrocellulose membranes

3 nights and 2 days

I have survived. 1 night and 2 days left. Its hasn't been too bad. Thursday we hung out at a friends out, we got home a bit after monkeys bed time, so a quick sponge bath and half a book later, he was out.
Friday he (WE!!!!) slept in, then off to a science museum thingy with a blog buddy and her son for the morning. They had a GREAT time together. Home before nap and then off to my sisters for dinner.
Today was harder. But he asleep. It was tough bedtime, largely my fault for thinking my child would actually watch KungFu Panda OR fall asleep with it on. Why would my child who rarely watch TV actually watch a movie???
Oh well. I can do 2 more days, the hardest part for me as been the lack of adult conversation and coming to bed alone.
I'm off to eat some popcorn and have beer while I watch the rest of KungFu Panda

Bad community member

So lab work is crazy busy, the monkey is thumbing his nose at my request and REFUSING to slow down and I'm a single mom this four day weekend. Yep Mr.SM is gone away during the FOUR day long weekend. To say I am terrified of having to be "ON" all weekend, with no help is an understatement. Single mom feel free to laugh at me now.

All of this is to say that I am going to continue to be a bad member of the blogging community. I've been reading all you gals/guys listed there in my blogroll, I'm just not commenting as I have no time. Sorry.

I'm sure you all understand. most of you are either PI's or grad students that are finishing up...

I really really deserve another vacation. must go to sleep before midnight....

An open letter to monkey

My dearest monkey,

You need stop. Stop right now.
Suddenly all those pants you got at Christmas / Birthday time fit. I'm not rolling the pant legs anymore and your rain boots don't fit. We went to the mall today to buy you new boots. You were quite confused that you got to try on so many different types and you definitely loved bright yellow boots the best. You put them on as soon as we got home and I swear you would've slept in them if I let you.
But you need to stop. You're having conversations with me and your dad at dinner, you're talking more and more. You are singing and animated. You have total and complete joy in life. You are understanding your boundaries, but are still trying to push them further out.
As much I love it, it needs to stop.
You are growing up way too fast. I blink and you're leaps and bounds ahead. I'm not saying that you have to stop forever, but can you please just stop for a bit. I know its not fair, but I'm really enjoying having you as my baby.
Gosh can I even call you my baby? You're so not a baby. You are little boy going at full throttle all the time. How about we make a deal? You don't necessarily have to stop, but how about you just slow down alot. Or promise me that you'll always be my little boy. You'll always give your mama kisses and hugs?
In case you didn't know, I love you!! I love you more and more each day. Everyday I think I couldn't love you more and everyday I do. Words can not describe out adorable and boyish you were today.
Hugs and kisses. Every morning, every night, every time you see me. Promise?
