You may wonder where i have been....

Well...I've been working my ass off. The quarter started this week....I am co-teaching two courses, getting my job applications off, co-authoring a chapter, working on our experiments from the NSF grant, oh and watching the cat....since last time Sir GB went out of town Tiger kept escaping and not coming home, I have kept her inside...which is quite a task....but we have done much playing and snuggling....so all is well...but she'll be happy when her food guy returns tomorrow from Boston, so she can go and frolick!

My Beebo has a booboo

So two weeks ago I was making a lovely dinner of linguini with mussels and white wine sauce....when draining the pasta, it splashed up and burned my beebo (if you don't know what a beebo is....well...that is your loss, you can try to get it out of the lovely jocelyn, but she doesn't talk)....Well...so I was in much pain and had a bandage beebo, which sir gb was nice enough to go get me gauze and burn cream for....so I was all injured and whatnot...so I go to my friend Lisa's yoga class....she asks does anyone have any injuries or problems....I just look at her, hold my beebo, and mouthed....my beebo....well...I interrupted yoga while Lisa laughed hysterically....so be careful and don't injure your beebo

A Funny Thing Happened in Gold Country

So we were in gold country this weekend....which was lovely, but the funniest thing was...

there was a sign for a motel, and then i saw this sign that said....

"Having an Affair....Have it Here"

Well, I was flaberghasted...I mean really that isn't the sort of thing you advertise.....then I realized that the sign wasn't on the motel, but rather on the elk's lodge.....pure comedy!

A funny thing happened while watching football

well...first the bills are beating the pats at half time...that almost never happens

but more interesting, i had just awoken from my first half napping (yup I love the fall), when all of a sudden I hear my alma mater mentioned...no not stanford, not duke...those would make sense....no, the bane of my teenage years....lewiston porter high school....not usually a name you hear, well ever. But apparently they retired Daryll Johnston's number, and he was announcing the game. Yup...he is the most famous alumnus of my high school....sad, but true.

I love the Roomba

so we celebrated labor day by letting a robot do the vacuuming...

what a cute little guy robbie the roomba is...and a very effective little cleaner too....he would save a lot of time if we weren't fascinated by watching him....Sir GB followed him into every room, and watched robbie's every little move....

unfortunately tiger was out and about and missed the fun...so clearly we need to use robbie more often so tiger cat can get used to him....it could be hysterical.....i'll keep you posted!
