See it!
this a.m. i woke up early and went to the gym…in retrospect, i think i may still have been a little drunk since it was only about 5 hours after drunken escapades and no sleep. now feeling the hangover a bit.

rambles while waiting for my plane...
sitting in O’Hare airport waiting for the plane to arrive two hours late…I’m very tired from getting up at 6am or earlier the past five days because of flights, conference presentations, and hanging out with my nieces.
I officially decided i’m ready to transition to the smart phone world. after wishing for GPS about six times on this trip, and then spending $7 to get...

Aliya—double pumper news!
Alisa, Jodie…let me know if you will be in Newport or Boston for Passover (and there for more than one night)…maybe we can meet up or I can drive down and visit y’all.
first day of spring + snow = lame
jet lag over. barely managed to open my eyes by 8:45 today. but i guess the time change also contributed.
I ran 2 miles this morning and it felt easy!! woot, woot!
today i got up at 4am. the sky is beautiful right now. i kind of like being jetlagged on this end and getting up so early. if only i liked getting up this early normally. sigh.
i am feeling a bit overwhelmed with catching up with work, but the good news is that i did not realize it was spring break from BC this week which means I have no tutoring to do and do not have an all day meeting on...

Aveiro, Portugal! yes, we finally made it on our vacation. spent 3 days in lisbon…awesome city! today took the train up the coast a couple hours into this really quaint and pretty town. off shortly to drink more wine and eat more seafood.
My grandma, Bunny Ruth Rhodes, died yesterday February 18th. Benny and I spent the last week with her, along with my aunts, uncles, cousins, and my cousin’s children (Bunny’s great grandkids!). It was a hard week but also amazing, and I feel so lucky to be surrounded by so much love. We held her hands and sang to her, and sat and breathed with her. We watched her struggle for breath...
To do:
-rewrite first three sections of dissertation proposal (i.e., scrap everything and start over)
-finish collaborative paper with prof.
-finish stats assignment
-make a poster for upcoming conference
-do not break any bones or injure myself before portugal (i fell down the stairs last week and thought it was going to be a repeat of August, but luckily I only had some nasty bruises!)

Today I went to Anna’s taqueria and watched the owner yell at one of his employees in front of the staff and customers. This made me very, very upset, and I asked to speak with him. I told him that I thought his behavior was unacceptable and inappropriate, and that it is never okay to treat your employees that way, and especially to do it in front of other people, including customers. I...
yes, just watched this—loved it!

Dear Aliya Caler,
Happy birthday! love,love,love you!
finished watching the 30 Something series last...
not sure if you know what black swan is about, but i don’t think it is a life path clearing up kind of movie. more like going for a roller coaster ride kind of experience.
amc28:
And also helped a friend with a graduate school essay. Feel a little confused about where my path is taking me. Hoping Black Swan will clear some things up for me…
Happy 1-1-11!
