sunshine!
This week, they are predicting sunny and 80 for Fri. and Sat. Today, of course it was miserable and cold and rainy, but I am so excited for Thurs.-Sun. which will all be lovely, that I am not whining too much. Today, I also managed to finally go swimming again, and our goal is tomorrow and Thurs. as well. My shoulder's still hurting like it was ( Read more... ) -
CWPA nationals '08
I got home a few hours ago from nationals for water polo. We got to go this year because even thouh we lost to Oregon again, they were hosting and so the runner-up from the Northwest league also got to go, but we went in ranked 16th. We played UC Davis Fri. morning and lost, but had a good 1st quarter at least ending it only down 3-2 (it was tied ( Read more... ) -
the art of procrastination
I promised myself that this weekend I would work on my General talk and paper, so this morning I: cleaned, did laundry, watered the plants, swept the balcony, trimmed the cats claws, laid in the sun, went grocery shopping, mailed some stuff, baked bread, and watched two episodes of west wing (all I had left from netflix right now). Late this ( Read more... ) -
I have a love/hate relationship with water
I realized the other day that I basically have a month to write the paper for my general exam in. Oops. Better get on that. I've been continuing to try to get my chemistry to work and still failing. I did find something new to try for one of the rxns I used to be able to do but failed at this time around, and that seems to have worked, but ( Read more... ) -
it's been awhile
I know it's been forever since I bothered to post anything, mostly due to either a lack of time or a lack of *worthy* material. Whatever, today was eventful enough (good and bad) I figured why not. So, in list form ( Read more... ) -

It keeps really bugging me that a lot of people seem to only think there were fires in SD. Ummmm... San Bernardino was on the national news too, and pretty much all of SoCal had a fire somewhere nearby. The ones in SD were bigger, sure, but if you are going to bother to express concern for my family, at least take the time to either figure out ( Read more... ) -
dead computers
So, my iBook died again. It was running really slowly and instead of backing things up like I knew I should, I restarted it one more time. At which point it stopped starting. I took it into the Apple Store and we got what we could off of it, but because I was using File Vault (why? I have no idea, I have no valuable information) we couldn't ( Read more... ) -
poem
This poem was printed and framed for my Grandpa's funeral, and then put out again at my Grandma's. I really like it and thought I would just post it here.

Tonight I forgot what time it was and was late to swimming, but still did 4000 yds. I missed about 900 of the warm up, so I'm a little sad I missed an opportunity to do almost 5000 yds, but oh well ( Read more... ) -

Recent news is that Boo went in for her surgical consult on Friday, and it will cost (just called to check) about $2000-$2500 per knee to make her less gimpy. I had thought that was total, but just called to check, and yeah. I have enough money, barely, but it just seems like it's way too much now. When I thought it was $2000 total, I could see ( Read more... )
