Yeah, I’m Still Among the Living

Friday, December 19th, 2008

So, the past couple of days I’ve been sick - again.  Not nearly as bad as the first nasty cold I got, but still bad enough.  I’m not sure what it is with all these colds, but I think it’s because the weather in Scotland simply can’t decide what it wants to do.  It was [...]

As Promised…

Friday, December 5th, 2008

Well, I’m not nearly finished with my last paper and I’ve got to head off to Gothic Con (We’re having a conference here on campus) in just a couple of hours, but I wanted to post some pictures from when everything was covered in ice and was all white and utterly breathtaking.

The Crazy Week…

Friday, October 24th, 2008

Sorry for the lack of posts this week - it’s been absolutely insane, really.  I’ve got a paper due in just over a week, so I’ve been having to try to focus on that and I was in Edinburgh most of the day yesterday for a class which pretty much took away any free time.
Before [...]

More Fun From Today

K.W. taking a picture of me taking a picture of her.

Me with my super-cool shades.

And Mr. McGee.

Today Was A Good Day

Me taking a picture of K.W. taking a picture of me.

K.W.

McGee, who’s here from the states, as well.

The look on McGee’s face just kills me.

A Mere Coincidence

Monday, September 29th, 2008

One of the blogs I read on a regular basis is Notes from an Eclectic Mind.  Rana, the illustrious host of said blog, always has something interesting to put forth be it about her role as caregiver, the many miles she’s put in on her bike(s) or her experiments with all things tech.
So…when I first [...]

Of All Things Good and Yummy!

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

As I mentioned yesterday, my parents celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary.  My father is retired, but volunteers at the church soup kitchen on Wednesdays so after my mom got home from work we wandered over to have dinner…yes, at the soup kitchen.  It’s really the easiest way to get everyone together, including their and my [...]

The Final Hurdle…

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

has been surpassed!
I ran a couple of errands this morning and came home to an email from the Chicago visa office informing me that my application had been approved and my visa issued.  And, as stated in their previous email, a UPS tracking number was included.
Just for s & g’s, I tracked it a few [...]

Just Keepin’ On Keepin’ On

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

So far this week has been a frantic race to get all of my paperwork done and submitted.  I have one more loan application to finish - Just need to write a personal statement to go with that.  I’ll probably get that done later tonight or tomorrow.
Then there’s the visa paperwork - I’ve got the [...]

Yep ~ Even With the Best of Intentions…

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

Okay…So I completely slacked off this week again.
Sorry about that. It’s been a crazy week.
Tuesday night I got home right about the time I had to crawl in bed; my boss and a few of my co-workers took me out for a birthday dinner. Thanks, E.C.!

Everything was running along smoothly until Thursday [...]
