I spent Friday of this week at Rice University, and now my thoughts are consumed with how much I want to go back to school. I was attending a catalyst conference to hear updates in the field and hear about research techniques being used in the academic world. Pretty heavy material, but it was very [...]

Around the world in 80 days

Maybe the title is a bit dramatic, but I’ve noticed that I’m spending a disproportionate amount of time in airports recently. While coming back from a work trip, I found that I’ve become one of those people who feels right at home on an airplane. Even though the landing was a bit bumpy, my eyes [...]
To the SNOW

I still feel my breath catch in my chest when the plane descends into the valley between the Wasatch and Oquirrh ranges. I wonder if this feeling will ever fade? I know its silly, but I have a pre-programmed soundtrack for going to Utah. Sometimes it makes me laugh, others I tear up from the [...]
Blogging to blog

I have piles of journals in my room. I remember when I was thirteen loving the secret world of journals. I could write to myself, to God, to my friends and they will remain untouched until I say otherwise. I wondered if I died a tragic death if people would read through them and know [...]
Where Happy Little Bluebirds Fly

The Wizard of Oz is the theme of the last week for me. It started with text messages on Tuesday. Ian was flying in to Houston, and got stuck due to tornadoes in Georgia. He thought it was all too ironic that “Somewhere over the Rainbow” was playing over the radio in the airport. In [...]
Christmas Gifts

Thank-you to everyone for the Christmas I’ve always wanted. I enjoyed the time, the laughter, and the memories. Everyone’s “gift” was donated to 3for5. So thank-you for helping me do that as well.
Paint it red

Or blue, green, or purple. Painting is therapeutic. I fully support the use of low VOC paint, made using Celanese products. I gotta help our stock price somehow… http://www.treehugger.com/files/2005/10/affordable_low.php
Conspiracy

I’ll start with a confession, I’m electronically challenged. I got a new cell phone a few months ago, and its a minor miracle that I’ve figured out how to call and text. The blasted thing is so much smarter than me. I can’t believe cell phone is foiling me, not for lack of trying mind [...]
All I want for Christmas

You know that little note that some people put in invitations “No Gifts Please?” I’ve seen it, I’ve laughed at it, I’ve ignored it. But now I want to try it myself. For Christmas this year, if I made your long list of people to shop for, please cross me off. I know its a [...]
Suburbia

South Shore Harbor is my new home. Its designed with center hall colonials, ranches, and plantation style homes. We like to call it diversity. Its an interesting new little world though. Coming from the apartment complex, I’m surprised. I was left with my jaw gaping this weekend. During my run on Sunday I saw all [...]
