My sister complained this weekend that I haven’t posted on here for a long time. It is true. This is what I have been doing instead:
- working
- sleeping
- planning a trip for 35 people to northern Africa
- reading
- watching movies
- working
- thinking about where I want to be in 5 years
- wondering if I’d make it in the academic world
- hanging out with friends
- working
- cleaning my house
- cooking my meals
- fixing my car (or having my car fixed)
- flossing my teeth (one of my rare daily habits, alongside brushing my teeth and washing my face)
- working
- making whirlwind visits to Ontario to attend weddings. Okay, only one. But there’s another in two weeks…and it takes a lot out of me.
It’s a bit of a smörgåsbord on this workspace of mine. Sitting around my computer are:
- a jar of jam
- a candle in a jar. Never been burned.
- 3 Christmas ornaments
- a picture of me, my two older siblings & my mom in a tent. From the summer I was 2.
- my iPod dock/player thing.
- a phone
- a combination cork/white board
- three pens
- a post-it note pad
- a cell phone
- a cartoon i cut out of a paper 3 years ago
- some returned mail
- a card with a marshmallow chick on the front
- papers that I am legally bound to keep for a year, but don’t know where to store
- work-related books/pamphlets
- a USB key
- my Bible & journal & current read
- my toothbrush
- AND a stationery gift pack that I want to regift. If you get it, I apologize.
(Does all this say something about me?)

Sometimes, it is hard to have such a flexible schedule. I don’t really have parameters for work, so long as the following things happen.
- create groups for cooking this weekend
- start talk for Tuesday
- submit reimbursements
- finish Soul Cravings ppt
- call HQ
- meet with student(s)
- pack food
- meet with Jen (hurrah!)
