A very grown-up Christmas…and a skull

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

So Christmas was good. Very grown-up this year. Now that I’m married, both of my families have decided to do the joint present thing–meaning any presents Josh and/or I received were really for both of us. Everyone gave us things we needed, which is good because we, well, needed those things. And the gifts we [...]

A new addition to our household

Friday, December 29th, 2006

[Edit: NO, a "new addition to our household" does NOT mean I'm pregnant. Sheesh.]
Man, I am loving this new site template. Just in case you were wondering.
So Josh’s dad gave us his old aquarium because he was tired of keeping up with it. It’s a 44 gallon aquarium shaped to fit in [...]

A Very Grown-Up Christmas

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

So Josh and I are back from Augusta now.  We spent Christmas Eve at my parents’ house in Lawrenceville which was pretty uneventful.  My mom, as usual, gave me a guilt trip about just about everything–spending Christmas Day in Augusta (despite the fact that we did Thanksgiving with her), not buying enough presents, etc.  After [...]

A New Look

Saturday, December 23rd, 2006

Since everyone else is making their blogs look nice and updated and all, I figured I’d join in.  Josh updated this to the new version of Wordpress, and I found a nice, new template to go along with it.  I haven’t finished categorizing everything yet, but hopefully I’ll do that soon.  I also can’t figure [...]

ITP, OTP, and MCP (that stands for "Merry Christmas, People")

Friday, December 22nd, 2006

Reason #34346 why it’s better to be ITP than OTP: Coffee shops in Gwinnett county close at 9pm, as Jenna and I discovered last night when we arrived at 9 at a certain worldwide coffee chain franchise that rhymes with “Car Ducks” and the barista let us purchase what was probably a total of $10 [...]

2006 in 39 questions

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

I borrowed this from All & Sundry’s blog archives (link to the right) who borrowed it from someone else’s blog who probably borrowed it from someone else’s blog. These things spread like viruses. Since I haven’t got much else to write about today, I will indulge my inner teen and, like, tOtalLy dO a qUIzz!!1! [...]

A Merry TiVo Christmas

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

So the problem with posting so often is that I don’t always have anything interesting to write about. Work has been slow this week. Nobody much is in the lab, and that makes it awfully hard to concentrate and be productive. Christmas is Monday. We’ll be spending Christmas Eve at my parents’ house in Lawrenceville [...]

Riding under the influence

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

Happily, the FPLC is still running this morning, as it should be. No explosions, no floods of solvents. The only mishap yesterday as I was setting it up was what I like to call an “ink malfunction.” That means the sea hare ink I was loading somehow managed to get all over my hands and [...]

Two stories about nothing in particular

Monday, December 18th, 2006

Last week, I went to have dinner with my pseudo-boss from the Oz/NZ trip and several of his co-workers and friends. Our goal was to teach him how to knit. I hopped into my car after work and quickly discovered that I had a flat tire. So Saturday I was lucky enough to purchase two [...]
