It seems another year has past and it is time for me to renew my blog. I debated this time about letting it disappear into oblivion. In the end I decided to keep it going and to recommit myself to posting once a week. It’s hard to believe that it has been almost 4 years since I started this blog. I can’t say I have been consistent about it and I know others that are much better at posting often, but I do enjoy the occasional rant. So I am keeping my namesake for another year at least.
So what has been happening that I have been so mum to mention? Well, I’m glad you asked…
These two experiences have shown me that I would love to have math back in my life on a full-time basis. So read into that what you will. Let’s just say if you hear of anything in the area, let me know…
I have already put a lot of thought into the kitchen, which will have to be remodeled, and the redecorating both inside and out that I want to do. I can’t wait to have my very own garden. And attic and basement. and garage...
I spent a lot of (ok, most of) the day yesterday trying hard to find things besides work, feeling resentful that I had to sit at my desk all alone. The day was slow to pass and at 5 you really have nothing to show for the past 8 hours. So today, I am delving in and working. And the day is going by a lot faster and this project isn't really as bad as I thought it would be when I was procrastinating.
On another note, we continue to look for houses in the Twin Cities area. There is an area we really like with really cute houses and a gf bakery within walking distance. But the airport noise is worrying us, so we will be exploring other parts of the city to see if the perfect house is some where else in the city. I don't think we will find as much stuff to walk to in other neighborhoods.
Amy has this great and short post that got me thinking. And since I don't seem to be able to comment on her page (I think I know my own email password?) I am posing my response here.
This is indeed a great question especially around the holidays. My answer is some-what (ok, mostly) selfish.
You know what I really want...
