Always nice to have a decision made that makes you happier, and this one seems to be doing that for you. <BR/><BR/>Also, isn't homemade pie the best? It is so much better than store-bought pie!Arwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109410771366772243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251891826295969285.post-30165977523923213632008-09-14T22:02:00.000-04:002008-09-14T22:02:00.000-04:00hey-- I don't have much in the way of suggesti...hey-- I don't have much in the way of suggestion as to how to go about this, but have you thought about science writing? I mean, writing semi-creative essays about contemporary science? I'm guessing what you do is come up with an idea and query magazines, and if they like your idea you write the piece, but I'm not sure. I'm an avid fan of Best American Science & Nature Writing (though this year's edition is a bit of a dud--try the 2006 edition). Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and congrats!Adam Golaskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428349767601304300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251891826295969285.post-6111760829736469702008-09-13T18:23:00.000-04:002008-09-13T18:23:00.000-04:00Congratulations!

Not that chasing after a 2-year-old isn't work, but you know what I mean. <BR/><BR/>Today I hung out with an old roommate. She currently works at the UN and will soon be moving to the freaking MIDDLE EAST to manage a UN NGO office complete with ARMORED CAR and I am all, "Um, I change diapers?" But on the other hand, I love my babies and can't imagine not having all the time I have with them. YAY YOU! Also, please teach me to cook?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251891826295969285.post-42743178347274115092008-09-11T12:29:00.000-04:002008-09-11T12:29:00.000-04:00Yay for interesting life changes!Yay for interesting life changes!Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251891826295969285.post-38388616819355093572008-09-10T19:57:00.000-04:002008-09-10T19:57:00.000-04:00I'm proud of you!

Those kinds of things are the second reason I don't want to work full time (the first being Charlie). I want us to enjoy our evenings and weekends as a family, not play catchup with all the chores that were left undone all week. I don't know how families with two full-timers do it! Enjoy your time with Jack!

I am even luckier because I teach online classes, meaning I can work from home.

Yesterday was the first day of my second year and OMG the drop in prep time required felt criminal. <BR/><BR/>And I don't know if I ever told you how much I loved your apathy/suck/time charts with respect to the end of uni. I have 9 days of school left in a 7 yr post secondary going on right now and the suck is off the charts. But I am doing my best to trample apathy because oh my god next week is important (feels sick to stomach)...<BR/><BR/>Enjoy this new chapter of your life.<BR/><BR/>Lindsay<BR/>PS - your blog won't let me use my blogger account. Any ideas why?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
