the explanation

if you DON’T see the new template, refresh or clear your cache.

It still looks wonky in IE. I’m still considering wordpress, as all the cool people are doing it. But I would have to pay for hosting service, because I would want to fool around with the template, and also you can import [...]

is this thing on?

was it just me, or was blogger being a total beeotch for most of today?

geez loiuse! It’s making me think more and more about jumping ship to another platform, like some other people have done or are considering. but because I am a control freak, I’d probably have to pay for hosting, just [...]

3 years

How can 3 years go by so quickly, yet feel like they’ve lasted a lifetime? I can’t even remember what life was like before without you. I can’t imagine the future without you.

I love you so much, sweetie.

a scene

Sadie sits by the front door. ESC opens the door to check on the weather before leashing Sadie. It is storming, but the rain falling gently now, [...]

dammit!

Why didn’t I bring a book? Or my knitting? Or SOMETHING to show my absolute disdain for the waste of time that will occur in just a little while.

To ease everyone back from the previous scary science post, some pictures to share!

Kev got a new toy when he visited his mom a couple of weeks ago – an iced tea maker! Now we don’t have to constantly forget about the big pan of water boiling away on the stove. He looooooves [...]

A sciencey post of experimental goodness.

after a several month hiatus on 2D gels, my advisor demanded I decided of my own free will to pick them back up again and give it another shot.

Savvy old school readers of my blog may remember my past rants about 2D gels, which I am too lazy to go back and find [...]

baaaaaaaad (fat) girl!

So I’ve failed to keep everyone up to date on how the diet is going.

miserable.

After that first initial burst of weight loss…the scale just sat there. Sometimes going up (eek!) then edging back down, but never going further down than that. After two weeks of no further loss, our instructor decided to [...]

Chattiest!
