Alive and studying
10.02.08 | Permalink | 4 CommentsI apologize for my twelve-day absence. On the request of a couple of readers, I will add Blogging Blake to my list of Blakes when the multiplicity mission is accomplished. In the mean time, one can probably find the original Blake in one of two places: the lecture hall or an LRC study room. Zoe’s [...]

Homeward Bound
09.20.08 | Permalink | 9 CommentsA few weeks ago, Chief and Sarge were placed into a new home. This decision was made after much consideration, mostly painful. On our list of pros and cons, the only pros were that 1. I loved them, and 2. They acted as good Hoovers when Zoe dropped food. As heavily as those weighed, the [...]

House to myself today
With Joel at DjangoCon (read: Geek Convention) in California this weekend (I’m insanely jealous; mandatory attendance to anatomy lab won out though), and Gigi and Zoe on a grocery adventure, I have a few hours alllll to myself today. I spent some time making brownies, reading developmental anatomy by the pool, taking pictures of the [...]

A few loosely related items
Pre-entry is complete. I feel SO much more ready for school now. I’m kind of in awe that such a program was available to me, and that the past five weeks went by so quickly. The gears in my head are now turning. Props to Rachel and to my tank group for getting me through [...]

Yawning while typing
07.30.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsSo I’m still finding my stride, to include prioritizing my limited computer time. I’m keeping up with reading all the blogs I read, and not so much updating my own. We had a good visit the past several days with Joel’s Mom and sisters. My Mom is in Wisconsin with my Dad at a major [...]

Welp, here we go!
07.06.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsTomorrow the pre-entry program begins! My Mom arrived this afternoon, the house is unpacked with mostly everything in its place, and I think I have the details worked out to get to school in the morning. I would say that I hope I’m doing the right thing, but I am more confident than that. I [...]

Another munchkin update
We took Zoe for her belated 15 month checkup today. She is 21.5 pounds and 31.5 inches, with a head circumference of 18.5 inches. For some reason we thought her next checkup was at 18 months (that reason being that our Dallas pediatrician told us that would be the next one), though oddly enough she [...]

Munchkin update
As we are both exhausted, the highlight of today, perhaps this month: napping and snuggling for two hours with Zoe. We took her to the Children’s Museum of Houston on Thursday evening (free family night from 5-8PM!). She had a BLAST in the Tot Spot and it was a totally worthwhile thing to do. On [...]

Happy Birthday to my Dabby!
06.24.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsCould we have a cuter Dad? He didn’t want any fuss for the big 6-0, so all I’ll say is that we love him and hope his birthday is happy.

“Yard” Project
Today we addressed the issue of our “yard” by going to Lowe’s and getting a few bags of cedar mulch, a roll of weed-resistant blanket stuff, and a few bags of pine bark nuggets. Zoe frolicked in the garden center, and by the time we got home she was asleep. The rest of our project [...]
