Having an organic chemistry professor for a father means that you always, without a doubt, participate in science fair every year.
My dad always helped me think of things to do for science fair and I had access to chemicals that made science fair more fun.
In 8th grade my dad and I decided that I would [...]
After a few months of being a mom I have realized that I have sort of lost a sense of myself in amongst all of the new mom activities and the loss of my job. Mike keeps asking me what I want to do for myself and I can’t think of anything except sleep. I am [...]
I realized today that I use the blogs of my friends to keep up with their lives. Especially now that I am spending more time at home and less time out in the world socializing I need these easy to get updates. And then I thought, “Well, duh, maybe I should do the same for [...]

Whoa Nelly was I wrong about the “easy” and “always available” part! Now I know that breastmilk, while free, comes with a [...]
Last Saturday, June 28th, was the last day of live Greyhound racing at the only remaining dog track in Colorado, Mile High Racing. Apparently this was due to the track owners not bringing in enough money during the winter season to justify having dog racing during the winter months. Dog owners were asked to race [...]
Whoohoo! I finally got to see Sex in the City. Jen, Ellebee and I must be the last women in their thirties in America to see this movie. (I put “spoilers” in the title of this entry, but really, I am the last person to see the movie, so I doubt it will matter.)
