Informed Decision Making
Finally...I've actually taken the time to look at political websites and make my informed decision to support a specific presidential candidate. No, it was not the most thorough process, but strangely enough, even policy professors continue to assign readings during the primaries. Oh, and check out the Iowa Electronic Markets (once at the site, ( Read more... ) -
Living in a college town...
...has certain, unwritten rules. With impending doom, aka finals, on the horizon, bringing small, hyperactive children into a crowd of stressed, over-caffeinated, studious graduate students breaks several of these informal dictates. No one wants to cast dirty looks at the child...the parent, however, is far from exempt. They ought to know better ( Read more... ) -
I should be at a football game...
...that I already have tickets to, but for some reason chilling out sounds so much better. I've been attacking my homework for 12, 13, 14, and more hours per day, and right now I want to sit, watch my cat stampede back and forth across the apartment, do some of the laundry that threatens to take over my bedroom, and perhaps watch an episode of ( Read more... ) -

Not only have I had headaches and/or an upset stomach nearly everyday for a week, I fell asleep last night directly after dinner and proceeded to talk about a pillow for a good ten minutes. Yep. Haha...pillow talk! Not good. -
For the love of...
So, I awoke this morning to no Pinta. That's right...I called her, Ciara, who came over for a run, called her, Ed called her...we even shook the food container (typically, a sure-bet way of getting her attention) Nothing. Not a sound. We searched each room, growing more and more concerned by the second. Finally, while searching the kitchen, ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Crazy day! Crazy month is more like it. :-) Working a ton, but enjoying it. Speaking of enjoying things, I have added a fourth roommate to my already awesome house. Her name is Pinta, and she is a two year old cat...ok, more like a 2 year old kitten. :-) Oh yeah, then there is Ed, who is doing wonderfully! So...no complaints! See...there ( Read more... ) -
