Ciao...

I'm off to New Orleans.  Be back this weekend.  I just looked up my hotel information to see where I'll be going (same location as the conference, too)....and realized that my hotel is in the middle of the French Quarter!  So now what

The newest addition to our family....

Oh yeah, baby.  A 2004 Honda Pilot.  Our first babymobile.  I feel slightly guilty for perpetuating the stereotype of Americans driving big, huge, gas-guzzling SUVs, but we really will need the space once the baby arrives.  And it

From one heat zone to the next...

I'm finally back from a successful trip to Austin, Texas!  Met lots of nice people, talked with lots of students, and generally had a great time.  I'm still feeling uneasy 'cause I still don't know enough about the specifics of our study ab

Soundtrack for My Life

I realized today why I missed driving so much while I was living in England.  It's not even the ability of getting to and from place to place, which is why I originally thought I missed having a car.  Rather, it's the combination of mobil

The Weekend

Monday, 20 October 2003 5:20 P GMT-08
Had a wonderful weekend seeing and catching up with pals.  Went out to dinner with my best friend on Friday night, which was a rare treat since she is currently suffering through an MSW program and barely has any time to see anyone anymore.

The Curse, part II

Friday, 17 October 2003 7:54 A GMT-08
I just can't seem to stop blogging about this.  Like it wasn't bad enough that the Sox had it IN THE BAG until the 8th inning, when things then spiraled out of control.  Like it wasn't bad enough that it was our dear, reliable Pedro who gav

The Curse is Back

Damn you, Babe Ruth. Being a Red Sox fan is just too painful.  

Cubs need a bear hug

Wednesday, 15 October 2003 12:55 P GMT-08
The Cubs lost tonite.  They're not going to the World Series.  I feel so awful for them I want to cry.  This makes me extremely nervous about the Red Sox.  Tomorrow's game determines if they're going to the World Series or not.&

Baby, baby!

So I swore that I would never become one of those neurotic moms who carries ultrasound pictures around in her wallet....and look what I'm doing!  Posting it on my blog!  <grins sheepishly>  But this is just too cool to NOT pos

Workin' Girl

Well apparently the cheese steaks bring good luck, 'cause I left for Philly on Wednesday for a job interview, and I came home on Saturday an employed woman!  To say that the trip went well would be an understatement.  Everyone I met was ext

What time zone am I in?

Thursday, 2 October 2003 5:26 A GMT-08
So I'm back home again in Cali...for good this time.  I'm up at 3:30 a.m. with jet lag, so what better time to jot down some rambling thoughts?  It's hard to believe that I'm here.  None of this seems real yet.  It still feels lik
