New Year.... Improved me?
Well what do you know, I’ve made it back more quickly than the previous interval.
I’ve a lot of things to do in this new year, starting with some self-renovations. Not purely externally, although those definitely are on the list. If I expect anyone else to be willing to love me enough to spend his life with me, I should love me enough to be willing to spend my life with me....

Oh, yeah, I have a blog!
Well, I’m back. I should have known that I wouldn’t stay consistent with this, since that has been the case with every single other attempt at journaling or similar somethings I’ve made. Have a few busy days and it just flies out the window as one of the easiest things to cut out to try to make more time. Hopefully things will calm down a little after the holidays are over.

Skylight not Optional
Have I mentioned before that my desk is directly under a giant skylight? Being at the front desk for the department, on the ground floor of a U shaped building, with the 8 foot wide, 30ish foot long skylight is awesome… Until now… now that it is no longer daylight savings time, my entire office is dark by 4:30…. and the so-called lights really only cast a yellow glow on the...

Pensivity Prodder (really long, sorry)
My morning started out unusual, but lovely. In a fit of domesticity nearly worthy of Martha Stewart, I got up early (actually when my alarm went off for the first time and I don’t remember the last time I did that) and made muffins for me and the darling man for breakfast. I also made our lunches, and then within the next half hour showered, dressed, did my hair, and was ready to leave. ...

Yay for Pluto!
mliaverage:
Today, I found out that the state of Illinois rejected the decision of the International Astronomical Union and still considers Pluto to be a planet. I have never been more proud of our state government. MLIA.
I don’t remember the last time I was proud of our state government… but this is something they’ve actually done right.
But, I still have to ask…...
Recent Musings of My Mind
These are just some things that I’ve been thinking of over the weekend, but I don’t spend time on the computer during weekends.
- Is it just me, or is it somewhat hypocritical to have a TV commercial promoting literacy as a way to ‘explore new worlds’ by playing clips from the movie of a classic children’s book?
- Is ‘hyptotrichosis’ really enough of a...
It's (almost) My Birthday.
As I approach my birthday, I ponder the same things I ponder every year. Aside from that all-consuming question “why are we here?” I also ponder why so many people make such a huge deal of their birthdays. So it has been 25 years since I was born… does that mean that there are any fewer people starving in the world? Or that there are any more happily adopted animals and...

Changes
As the seasons are changing, so is my life. I mentioned in my previous post that my boyfriend will be losing his job in a few months. He’s being proactive, and trying to find a job before then. Unfortunately, most of the positions he’s applying for are not in our current area. There aren’t many open positions in his field in our area, and neither of us are averse to moving. ...
Interesting Day
So… today has been an interesting day. Actually, it’s been an interesting 24 hours. There have been an extremely large variation in emotions.
For instance:
Yesterday, 6:30pm- I found out my best friend and her man are getting a dog (I am a HUGE dog person, so this is super good news). After our mutual squeals of glee subside, there is mention of the fact that we will have to...
