My journey as a West Coast transplant, living and learning in the South, on my ongoing quest to prove that a smart scientist can still maintain a little bit of style.

Week in Retrospect
This week has been manic busy and filled with really big decisions regarding housing in NC and Bubs telling his office that we are leaving. Craziness. I am really looking forward to our weekend get-away to Chapel Hill. But not before some good times shopping with Em! What did I learn this week-
1. Science requires a lot of math. And planning. But even with all the math and planning in the world.. you can't always make pig snot glow.
2. Dating a couple is fun. But not fun when you do yoga too soon after riding 200 miles. Then it is just kinda painful.
3. WHY IS FLIPCUP SO FUN? Seriously? My fridays are beginning to have a headache trend that is ridiculous.
4. Maybe all Aggie alums are not as cool as they should be.. darn you faux purple team!!
5. Bubs makes a mean watermelon margarita.
6. It is quite possible to have a beach bbq themed dinner party in a 500 square foot house. Maybe more fun if you tell the dinner guests, but they were good sports.
7. Someday all the free time you had at your job will all be snatched away and replaced with really big gross tracheas. (well, maybe not "your" job)
8. Sometimes life hands us baggage that we just have to carry. And deal. Because there is really nothing else to do. Except move to Ghana maybe. But I wouldn't be too surprised...
Anyways, we are off to the country this weekend, lots of cute apartments to check out. We'll take lots of photos and hopefully post pics of the winner next week. Gotta finish up some stuff around the lab then off to meet Bubs at the climbing gym before teaching some "urban youth" how to swim/not drown themselves. Maybe thai dinner afterwards? Yuuummmmmy!
If you had told me in advance I would have totally worn my sarong and bikini!
