What is up with people honking their car horns at me when I’m running? I’m not running in the middle of the road (I’m on the sidewalk), so I’m definitely not in the way. I’m running fully clothed, no holes in my shirts/shorts. I don’t know enough people around here that it’s just people giving […]

12 hours to go
Surgery is at 8 am tomorrow, so I’m doing everything I can to keep my mind off of it. I’ve been doing laundry, cleaning up the house, reading a book, watching television, and blogging to avoid all thoughts of eye-related things. I’ve gotten pretty darn good at compartmentalizing… although a shrink might call it “denial” […]
FUN weekends!
Man, I forgot how fun weekends could be. It seems like for the last, I don’t know – forever?, I’ve been spending my weekends playing catch-up around the house. All week long, I’m so drained when I get home at the end of the day, that I just let all of the cleaning/laundry/yardwork pile up […]
Shameless plug

Eat Pray Love
I recently finished reading Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. The book was recommended to me by several people, but the title sounded a little too “self-help” for me, so I put it off for a long time. But I was recently on a plane for a few hours with nothing else to read, so I thought […]
Diversity & the psychology of why we are who we are
One of the blessings and curses of working for an educational institution is that we take part in professional development courses all the time. This quarter, our mandatory training session was in the area of “Diversity and Inclusion.” Today’s session was one of the more fantastic ones that have been offered. One of the exercises we […]

Helium
So, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I’ve started writing for www.helium.com. I’m still relatively new to the site, but finally managed to figure out how to track down my own articles for other to read. Shameless plug for my own work: go to http://www.helium.com/users/412010. This will take you to my page, and from […]
80s Team
Since Brandon’s been about as active on his blog as a three-toed sloth in hibernation (“Hi, Pot? Yeah, it’s me… Kettle. Know what color you are?”), I figured it was my duty and right as his wife to get his newest endeavor out on the internet. Brandon joined a band several months ago. An 80s […]
Country Music Half Marathon
The Country Music Half Marathon is scheduled for April 26, 2008. Lots of folks from work are running it, as well as some friends from outside the office. I had been planning on running it right up until I screwed up my knee during the Disney Marathon. It’s been 5 weeks since then, so I’m […]
