My poor, poor husband. I don’t think he really knew what he was in for when I joined our local CSA farm. He’s a meat and potatoes kinda’ guy, who will eat well-hidden veggies (i.e., smothered in cheese sauce, stir fried in sweet & sour sauce, casseroled with cream of mushroom sauce) when pressed. Last [...]

I should be working but …

… my mind is already on vacation, even though my body is trapped in my office. I’ve already had two conversations with the dean today (good ones, don’t worry!) and have massive amounts of shit to get done before I can leave town next Friday.
So, what have I been doing? Oh, you know, shopping — [...]

I know it’s almost summer because The Coach is partaking of his annual ritual. That’s right … he’s spending the night at school, grading papers. Me? I’m gonna’ curl up with the little dog and two or three fuzzy kittens, read a book, and hog the bed.
WTF?

WordPress ate my links to the blogs I read! WTF? When did that happen? Am I really going to have to reconstruct all of them?
Challenge Me!

In the spirit of my goal to read more “good for you” books, I looked up the top 100 challenged books from the last decade — that’s the the 1990’s for the temporally challenged folks out there. Now, this list has changed since the last time I looked at it. Many of the books I [...]
Summer Duties vs. Research

Ah summer … how I wish I was actually on vacation. Unfortunately, I will be stuck in my office every day — plus Saturday — this week. Today, I have student interviews from 12:30 to 3 p.m. Tomorrow, I have to give a makeup exam and go to a stakeholder meeting for my neighborhood (hosted [...]
Random Thoughts for a Tuesday

Could my office be any colder? Really, do we have to have the a/c set so low that I need to wear a sweater in the summer?
I need to throw away these shoes. There’s something that keeps stabbing me in my little toe. Ouch.
Just how many more meetings can I cram into a summer week? [...]
Late to bed, early to rise

… does not make a person healthy, wealthy, and wise. Yes, dear readers, my ass is dragging this morning. I stayed up way too late last night, thanks to a 2 hour nap in the middle of the afternoon and my quest to finish reading Neuromancer before I went to bed. Added to that is [...]

It’s the summer, and damnit, I’m going to have some time to myself. As much as I like my new office (all spacey and pretty and sunny), it also puts me right in the path of people who want to stop and chat or bitch and groan or any other permutations that lead to a [...]
