I’m a little bitter about work this week!  I worked over 12 hours on Monday so that I could really front-load everything so that I wouldn’t have to work this weekend.  But on Friday I was notified that I was to give lab meeting on Monday, so it turns out I have lots of work to do this weekend after all!  Kyle is also giving lab meeting tomorrow so we’re both alternately working and procrastinating.   The reason I wanted to have all my work done before the weekend was that we had two parties to attend, as well as helping a friend move and cleaning our townhouse to host a third party.  We still did all that stuff but this weekend still hasn’t been as relaxing as I had hoped it … Read entire article »

Weekly Update 31

This week was totally consumed by moving “all the little stuff” from our old apartment to our new townhouse.  We took care of all the furniture last weekend with the help of friends, so it seemed like we just had the loose ends of the bathrooms and closets to bring over.  But we really underestimated the time needed – we worked on moving things every night this week for several hours!   The other strange thing about … Read entire article »

Weekly Update 30

We’re moving this weekend.  And I have lab meeting on Monday.  What else can I say?     Posts I Liked   Average Joe from The Free Financial Advisor explains that getting out of debt (alone) isn’t a goal.   Michelle from See Debt Run recalls a professor who claimed that her homemade, organic spaghetti sauce was cheaper than Spaghetti-Os, so Michelle runs the numbers on one of her own crock-pot beef stews and finds that it was only $0.60/serving.   Money Life and … Read entire article »

I gave lab meeting on Monday (hence why Kyle posted that day!) and that went well.  My advisor has been away for several weeks and seemed please with my progress when we talked.  My research the rest of the week wasn’t so hot but I’m still riding high from that feedback early in the week.   We went out to dinner (sort of) on Monday night to celebrate a friend’s birthday and then out again for a trivia night at a local bar on Tuesday, so that was a lot of restaurant spending for us in a short amount of time!  This week I also met with a friend to coach her a bit on her finances.  I’ve realized that I’m a problem solver – that’s what I like about science and … Read entire article »

Slow week for us!  I’ve been procrastinating preparing for my lab meeting presentation this coming Monday.  The only out of the ordinary thing we did this week aside from returning from our trip to the NC mountains last week was to see West Side Story at our local theater.  It was the first time I’d ever seen a live production of the show, and it was a lot more vulgar than I was expecting!  Maybe the language and/or choreography has been updated.  Also, much of the dialogue spoken and lyrics sung by the Puerto Rican characters was in Spanish, which was a bit surprising but I guess felt more authentic.  However, since we’re not fluent in Spanish it was a bit hard to follow the longer/faster stretches – more like seeing an … Read entire article »
