She spent most of her times sleeping:
And loving on Mama and Papa Poe:
Because she's had problems with her tail:
Poor Monster! We're taking good care of her, and hope that she can be her playful tail-swinging self again soon!
As a Christian, wife, mother of a little girl and two fur-babies, Mississippi State Bulldog, and PhD, I lead a very busy life. If you add on top of that my obsession for organization and loves for couponing, sewing, knitting, cooking, reading, gardening, and a host of other random hobbies, you've got the recipe for...well...variety. And variety is the spice of life!

MrsDrPoe: 2012 Challenge
It's the last Theology Thursday of 2011! Once again, I'd like to encourage you all to join me with adopting a book and reading through the Bible in a year in 2012.
"How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. With my whole heart I have sought You; oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. Blessed are You, O LORD! Teach me Your statutes. With my lips I have declared all the judgements of Your mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways. I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word." - Psalm 119 9-16

MrsDrPoe: Fall Harvest Pasta
What's for Dinner this Wednesday is another original recipe that reminds me of fall but really makes a tasty dinner any time of year- Fall Harvest Pasta.
Ingredients: 4 oz chicken breast, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp ground nutmeg, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 an apple, 1/2 cup of grapes, 1/4 cup of pecans, 1 Tbs olive oil (not pictured), pasta.
Dice the chicken, fruit, and nuts, then saute in olive oil with all the spices on med-high heat until the chicken is cooked and the fruit is soft (15-20 minutes).
Serve over your favorite pasta (Note: I would recommend a thicker noodle than angel-hair), and enjoy!

MrsDrPoe: What To Expect When You're Expecting
For today's Reading Review, I present to you "What To Expect When You're Expecting" by Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel*:
This book was an easy read with lots of information mixed with humor and encouragement. Since I've never been pregnant, I don't know about all the questions or symptoms a pregnant woman would have, but this work seemed to cover the gamut. The main section of the book was broken up into 9 month-by-month chapters that detailed what the baby was growing or practicing each week in the month, symptoms you may be having, and what you may be concerned about (food, physical activity, pains, intimacy, etc). It also covered pre-pregnancy topics, post-pregnancy topics, and information on miscarriages and stillbirths.
The only pseudo-negative thing about this book is that it truly was written for every woman; while even those with STDs, drug problems, who would consider abortion, etc. need information about pregnancy I didn't particularly enjoy reading those sections of the book. Having said that, I would definitely recommend this book to any woman who is pregnant or desiring to become pregnant, and I plan to purchase my own copy when we (Lord willing!) are blessed with news of the first non-furry-Poe-baby. I also look forward to reading the other books in the "What to Expect" series!
*Mr. Poe and I are not pregnant, but we would like to have children one day, so I'm reading about it now before it's upon me and I have no time to read.

MrsDrPoe: Blasius Boundary Layer Example
It's another Thesis Tuesday on the blog, and as promised, I'll be giving you an example of the Blasius Boundary Layer Solution.
Problem: A viscous fluid with a known density (rho = 1300 kg/m^3) flows past a flat plate such that the boundary layer thickness at a distance 1.3 m from the leading edge is 12 mm. Determine the boundary layer thickenss, shear stress and friction coefficient at a distance of 0.2 m from the leading edge if the free stream velocity is 1.5 m/s.
Given: xk = 1.3 m, deltak = 12 mm, rho = 1300 kg/m^3, U = 1.5 m/s
Find: delta, tauw, and Cf at 0.2 m
Solution:
Pretty simple, huh? Until next time...keep studying!

Given: xk = 1.3 m, deltak = 12 mm, rho = 1300 kg/m^3, U = 1.5 m/s
Find: delta, tauw, and Cf at 0.2 m
Solution:
Rek = (5*xk/deltak)^2 = 2.934x10^5
nu = U*xk/Rek = 6.646x10^-6 m*m/s
mu = nu*rho = 8.64x10^-3 N*s/m*m
Rex = U*x/nu = 45,140
delta = 5*x/sqrt(Rex) =4.707 mm
tauw = 0.3332*U^(3/2)*sqrt(rho*mu/x) = 4.571 Pa
Cf = 0.664/sqrt(Rex) = 3.125x10^-3
Pretty simple, huh? Until next time...keep studying!
