Well, readers, last week was just crazy, with 12 hour days for work, and homework and class after hours! I’m back to a slightly less hectic schedule this week! My husband and I had a discussion recently about the transfer of power, inspired by his reading of “The History of Western Philosophy” by Bertrand Russell. [...]
Yesterday, I was exactly the person I want to be. You ever have those days? The days where you come home and you reflect on the day, and realize that you were the best version of yourself? I love those days! On the surface, you think those days are easy to come by, but when [...]
My husband I talk about making high value decisions pretty frequently. I was thinking about high value decisions recently, when the ultimate low value decision popped into my head. At my office, we tend to keep the batteries “hidden”, since they are relatively expensive, and we don’t want people just taking batteries whenever they feel [...]

And, you know you’ve been married to an engineer when certain thoughts creep into your head. A few humorous examples that make me think I’ve got math brain? Take a look: During rehearsal this weekend, the backstage area [...]
I’m back from a wonderful long holiday weekend, complete with two Thanksgiving celebrations, a homemade bread-making day with my husband, singing and even a stats study session! The madness over Black Friday provided some great inspiration to start the week. We love stuff, and in America, we’ve got plenty of it. And yet, there’s people [...]
I had a chat with my mom the other night that sparked this post on the generation gap. We’re in a much different place than our parents, and I think sometimes we forget that there’s a difference between today’s economy and priorities, and those 20 years ago. First, there’s no loyalty anymore. My brother is [...]
