February is trying to kill me! So much going on, and so little time. Sorry about that. I have a ton of stuff to talk about, but no time to actually write it down. Stuff like… A new mattress A couple of weekend trips Grad school brain, back in full force. With features like mistaking [...]
Just a question – what happens to all that cute stuff people are always pinning–specifically the stuff that is intended to be a gift for your husband? I mean paper crafts and things of that nature. People who pin these things usually put a comment under it like “He’ll LOVE this!” or “I’m SO doing [...]
Seriously, what is with me? I am incapable of powering down. I had a whole weekend to myself and the only thing I did NOT do was relax. I did spend some time with my in-laws, and that’s always nice and relaxing…but I mean sweatpants-and-glass-of-wine relaxing. I can’t do it. I planned to do it [...]
As I dig my heels in to this dissertation and try my damndest to finish it up, something (nearly everything) has to give. Blogging is therapeutic for me, enjoyable and fun, so I am not taking a total hiatus. But I may not blog as often, at least for the next several weeks. I am [...]
It’s ‘the busy time’ right now, at work and at home. Generally these two don’t coincide, but this year, for me, they do (because I’m writing, writing, writing…not waiting for (dreading?) a new semester’s start). School starts in a week, and since I work at one, it’s a wee bit busy.
There has been a change on my blog: I’ve removed the “Blogher” ads from my sidebar. I’ve been a Blogher affiliate for almost a year, and over time I decided it just wasn’t right for me. A new contract is what really convinced me to withdraw my blog from their ranks. They now want each [...]
I have been in a total funk for a few weeks now. Could you tell? Less posts..shorter posts..less pictures… It’s not that I don’t have anything to share. I actually have tons. I just haven’t felt like editing all the pictures, resizing, posting… etc. It isn’t just a blogging funk; it’s a life funk. There [...]
I did it: I met the neighbors! The other night when I was outside, I could hear them outside too. So, I decided to walk over. I strolled right down their driveway and past their cars and in to their backyard and up to a man (who was playing with a little boy) and said [...]
May just about killed us. Mr. N had his finals. He also completed work on his thesis, feverishly hunted down the signatures he needed, and ultimately prepared for (and successfully completed!) his defense. I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to finish the data collection for my dissertation (finished it). [...]
It occurred to me that I have finally been able to cross off one of the things on my big to-do list! One of the things under ‘finances’: “Pay off our other car,” was done a few weeks ago. Woohoo! Only 29 more to go now… but I hope to be able to knock at [...]
Late-20s yuppie, professional techie, terminal student. I probably live farther north than you do. (
