Similar to my List of Happenings post, here is a bulleted list of happenings.  I don’t feel like I can put into words the great fun and relaxation I have had during this winter break home, so here are some thoughts and happenings. Scrapbook catch-up!  Or, rather, scrapbook work-on, since I have completed a few pages, but made so many more memories since I’ve been here, that I’m sure I’ll go home needing to do more than I did.  But hopefully I’ll have completed all... more

I’m in LA!  Yay!  It was a difficult and slightly painful drive down.   I took the 80 to the 680 to the 101, because of the snow problem on the 5.  I had never driven the 101 all the way down, and I actually really enjoyed it.  It was really pretty, a very neat drive.  I thought it was funny that the scenery completely reminded me of Disney’s California Adventure, rather than the other way around.  With the trees hugging the highway, the tin agricultural buildings with “Asparagus”... more

I’m a big huge baby when I’m sick.  Since Nik’s at work…there’s nobody else to whine to!  You know what’s equal parts pathetic and cute?  Poor little JoJo is sick too.  We’ve cuddled all morning, and she won’t eat, and she looks so sad!  At least we’re in it together.  Can dogs catch people sicknesses?  Read More →

The household has taken turns being sick.  Despite my very best, very thorough, efforts, I must have caught it from Nik.  Or maybe from work, since people there are sick now, too.  Anyway, I’ve been working from home–still getting a lot done, but in huge pain.  I haven’t been able to enjoy my Christmas break, really, since I fall into a heap of pain after working all day. On a happier note, Nik ordered me a very, very exciting Christmas present.  Here’s my new friend:... more

I have completely underestimated the coldness up here!  And I have since learned…IT’S COLD…but I continue to underestimate it every day!  Brrr!  Read More →

Today is my first official day of winter break!  Ok…maybe yesterday was my first OFFICIAL day, but I worked all day…so today is really it! We sure celebrated on Thursday after our last day of classes.  Here we are at Bistro 33. We had a pretty good, but uneventful, last two classes (April and I gave a great puberty-related presentation, and David was a champion wrapping up Piaget in an exact hour)…and then headed out to Bistro 33.  We had some mojito pitchers and sweet... more

I tend to refrain from updating until I have huge stretches of time in which to do a post justice…and that doesn’t happen.  So here is a list of recent happenings.  Time may soon permit me to expand on some of these… 1.  Nik and I had a wonderful, relaxing, food-consuming, amazing, beautiful, great-company time in Amesbury.  Nik is working on a post about it, but Happening #3 got in the way. 2.  It took us 3 days to fly home.  Our plane almost crashed.  It was traumatizing. ... more

Nik and I have realized in the past week, that neither my mom or Mike D. live with us…so…who is going to kill the spiders that are apparently quite rampant in Davis??? I’ve refused on the two and only occurrences in the past few days.  Nik stepped up.  Anxiety all around.  Read More →

Hi All! I have been trying to write a Mandi’s Visit post for quite awhile, but for some reason the picture uploading on the site is messed up, and we haven’t been able to fix it yet.  So, instead of posting pictures directly with a story for them all, like I wanted, I’ll post a link to my Facebook album, where you can see the pictures from Mandi’s visit: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2008978&l=2ec38&id=1262058331  We had a great time.  On Friday, which was... more

When in the Denver Airport and a tornado comes head to the restrooms. Apparently they are tornado shelters.  Read More →
