HR the good way

Spent the day with two of the gooodies from the office at one of our properties in Amador county....


Then ate pretty good Mexican food at the local restaurant. Some of the best jalapeno poppers I've had!

Back in time to watch trash T.V. or read by the pool, or in the comfort of my messy living room... still haven't decided yet.

Preparing for the Semester

To Do BEFORE the semester starts:

1. Visit with potential future advisors?

2. Raise GRE score by at least 100 points.

3. Finish the readings for class.

4. Figure out if we're moving.

5. Figure out where I can GET IN!

6. Publish something, or at least submit it.

7. Cry a little.

8. Clean the house; purge it of unnecessary items (may include books, cat, and/or husband).

9. Lose weight.

10. Buy an iphone! (I bet this gets done first)

** Update:**

Did not complete anything on list, but did come up with a plan for Fall 2009:

Summer T-Storms

I also miss how fresh everything smells after it rains in the summer. It's one of the great smells of the South, along with fried okra!
