I had tons of fun tonight with my sister-in-law. She came over to keep me company and we made popcorn (NOT the microwave kind) and watched "The Importance of Being Earnest." That is by far one of my favorite movies. Probably because I haven't seen the play, which is probably way better.
I laugh harder with Mindy than just about anybody else - so that, in combination with a hilarious plot, made for a belly-aching, giggly evening. Sigh. Just what I needed.
I'm flying out to reunite with my family tomorrow, and I'm ready to see them. It's been so fun being alone for a while. My to-do list, however, did take over and caused me to have less relaxation than I had anticipated. I did find my paper brain (see my other blog for info on that one...) and that has helped me to feel a little bit more on top of things, even if it mostly gave me more to do. Well, not so much more to do as all the things I had neglected to do while my brain was missing.
The total, awesomest, best thing I did was make my own bath stuff! I've always wanted to try it, so I grabbed all kinds of good kitchen stuff and started stirring and mixing and formulating. My friend Becky asked if I wore a lab coat. I told her it would be difficult to try the products out in a lab coat. Turns out that I make a mean sugar scrub and also a very relaxing milk bath. It's always good to be aware of new things that you are good at.
DAILY BLISS: My sister-in-law being just who I would pick for a real sister, if I had gotten one. Isn't that cool? We might not have gotten along at all. These things happen.

Phew. I like the new blog. The color of the "VftE" (pronounced "viftey?") site is a little on the "retina scorching" side. :-)
Hee hee:) I think that e-acronyms don't have to have pronunciations. BTW, I'm glad you found me. You're my most faithful comment-dropper, and that always lifts me at the end of the day - even if your high-minded, scientist self has to muddle through my writing. I know that "awesomest" (and many of my other words) isn't really a word....I like to think of it as poetic license!

I absolutely believe that it's great to have fun with writing. Science is just as much about interesting writing as it is about data. I think that life is the same way: it's all in the presentation. :-)
I think that you and Tim are the only people that read my blog, too, and that's fine. I ran a more popular blog a few years ago, and it was such a pain that I decided that I deleted it and took 2 years off. Small is good.
