I have just realized that I haven’t posted anything about my birthday – well, other than posting on Bethmas Eve. As it turns out, I was just having too much fun celebrating my 36th trip ((Also known as 62. Because who doesn’t love a number that’s a perfect square?)) around the sun to post anything! On […] →Read more
Ah, Leap Year – letting me have one last precious day as a 35 year old ((I do realize that Leap Year was last year, but since my birthday happens before Leap Day, I don’t feel the effects until the following year. It’s the same with the Chinese zodiac – since my birthday comes before […] →Read more
I got this in the mail before the holidays: and promptly decided this was much too boring to worry about over the holidays. But now is solidly “after the holidays” and it’s time to deal with such mundane things as making sure that I continue to be licensed to drive. The annoying thing about having […] →Read more

So there may be hope for me yet, assuming Cath continues to run her contest […] →Read more
Earlier today, Cath posted a link to an article ((Link only works if you have a subscription to Nature though. Sorry about that.)) in the latest issue of Nature about the importance to science history of archiving correspondence between scientists and how since everyone communicates by emails, and Tweets, and IMs, and texts, and Facebook […] →Read more
Tonight marks the end of my holidays – for tomorrow I head back to work. My clothes for work tomorrow are selected and hang waiting for me to put them on in the morning. My lunch ((Leftover lasagna, made with homemade sauce that is chalk chock-full of vegetables.)) is packed and waiting for me to bring […] →Read more

It’s 2013 in just over 24 hours, so I figured why not set up 13 goals for the new year? Lose the 15 lbs that I gained since starting my MBA. Seriously. I have clothes that I can’t fit into and it’s not good for my health to be carrying around this extra weight, so […] →Read more
