Although The Coach screwed up by waiting to make dinner reservations, he completely redeemed himself when he pulled up to the jewelry store. Pretty new chocolate pearls for Dr. Disenchanted. Oh my. I also had a chance to point out the type of ring I wanted for our 20th anniversary (just two years away … [...]

Traveling Again.

Yes, again. I must be turning into the US version of TQE. LOL! Today’s trip will take me to a beautiful mountain town in a southern state. I’ll be there until Friday, when I head home to celebrate VD with The Coach. Sunday, I’ll be taking a long drive to Michigan, then home for a [...]
Professor Busywork: The Last Chapter

Well, well, well. It’s warm and rainy out on this lovely Wednesday. That means … my cold is back. Just lovely. I’m sitting in front of my computer with a drippy nose, putting off the inevitable trip to work. Hey, at least the plastic sheeting stuck to the bottom of my car is gone. The [...]
Professor Busywork, The Sequel

It’s turning out to be one of those months. Last night I paid my bills and did my taxes. Of course, I couldn’t file them because the code I needed was in an email that I had moved off the main server and onto my personal computer … at work. Typical. Now, I am at work [...]
A summer plan?

Interesting idea. You know, I’m only on a nine month contract. I wonder what my deanly overlord would do if I actually unplugged from my work email for a whole month during the summer?

Here’s what I did this morning at work:
Played with My Farm on Facebook.
Ate nasty fast food breakfast.
Booked hotel for basketball game.
Ordered windbreaker, trekker shoes, and pants for hiking in Peru.
Bought SmartWool socks — no need for blisters — for Peru.
Bought a monopod to use with camera — also for Peru.
Updated Undergrad Schedule. {Stupid effing ice [...]

It’s a Battlestar Galactica kind of afternoon. I’m about to settle back into bed with my DVD remote, a snot busting soda, and a box of Kleenex. My meetings are over and I’m feeling slightly better, but my body is still screaming out for more rest. TGIF, eh?
Sick, Day 4

Still sick. Still hopped up on Dayquil and Nyquil. Now, I am sick enough that I could legitimately stay home, but we’re so far behind in class thanks to the weather, that I might never get caught up again. Added to that, I will be missing next Thursday’s class for a job interview, so I [...]
