On behalf of Liv.

"Good for you liz. That last sentence was so optimistic! Very inspiring!

I think stepping outside of the box you grew up in has to be one of the toughest but most rewarding things that a person can do--it takes a bit of courage most of us don't even possess... and a way of thinking that feels unnatural.

I don't know who you were

My favorite line from this: "Life is about living with consequences" You and my dad would have gotten along, I think. He also made decisions easily. And then made them work.

Beautiful.

So happy that you're enjoying the summer, and that you've gotten to see some of these natural areas! Your pictures make me miss the area!

Oh, and guess what? One of my new colleagues at the new place is one of J's former lab mates. Small world, huh? Guess we can swap J stories. Heehee.

Yeah, big scary changes! Inevitable wherever you go, and maybe this is just a stepping stone... goal one was to get a job: check! Next goal is to get a better one! You can always escape to my neck of the woods for a mountain hike. And you can count on showing me around your neck of the woods! It'll be all new to me, so you can vicariously experience it for the first time (again). :) be

My goodness. I am so glad to have shared adventures with you--and truly Liz I've learned as much from you as you from me! Your spontaneity is contagious, and I think about it often ("if Liz were here, she wouldn't hesitate, she'd just do it"). Your laughter, even in memory, makes me giggle (remember when I introduced you to the 'other version' of Johnny Cash's

I really like cardinals, especially in the winter. They're so bright and flashy.

2011-03-04T12:47:40.215-06:00

You tell a good story. Some people don't deal with embarrassment well, you know. I bet he's called in sick everyday they're supposed to go watch the inmates in your neck of the woods, lest he accidentally run into you again. Cops are supposed to notice things, can't believe he didn't see you!

Good for you. It only gets better from here on out. Truth.

2011-02-26T15:14:48.354-06:00

I hope you get it! Joe just applied for a job he really wants, at THE place we have always wanted to live/work. It's a long shot, why, with all the unemployed professors out there, so much so that I have not dared to say out loud how much we want that job. I like your optimism, and I'm not going to say "if you don't get this job, something will come up" because I for one

Oh man. How I wish I had been able to go with you!...

2011-02-14T12:46:13.276-06:00

Oh man. How I wish I had been able to go with you!!! Beautiful pictures, and I imagine it was a fabulous day. This makes me miss you.

Ahhhh. Lovely.

2011-01-31T10:29:09.824-06:00

LOVE those days. It feels SO GOOD to have all those things done before the week starts, doesn't it? And no matter what happens on the Dreaded Monday, it's not nearly as bad as the Dreaded Monday that follows an I Did Nothing All Sunday. Good job!

2011-01-31T09:59:46.288-06:00

I pretty much subscribe to the "get three things done a day" rule. This goes for work and home. So really, I've done all my things for the week. I can cruise.

While reading this post, the first few images from here (http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/06/this-is-why-ill-never-be-adult.html) came to mind. *Clean ALL the things!* :) I'm envious of your productivity. I managed to go sledding, do some dishes and give J a haircut - my first attempt with shears. I think it looks pretty good. I'm lucky he's not picky.

2011-01-26T10:59:45.703-06:00

Liv, I agree that some clothing has sentimental value. But the one you wore backpacking in Yosemite? I could see, "the outfit I wore to my Dad's funeral" or "the t-shirt my nephew made me with his toddler footprints in paint on it", and I can even understand the "one I wore the day I met D"....but backpacking? Really?

I say if you have at least one

2011-01-26T10:54:48.060-06:00

I tried to watch these vids the other day and my internet connection wouldn't let me... these are way better ways of folding than the ones I use. I have so many t-shirts I have to roll them to get them all in the drawer! I can't bear to part with them though--they all have such memories (the one I wore backpacking in Yosemite, the one I wore the day I met D, etc. etc.) I know, I'm

2011-01-26T10:47:44.600-06:00

LOL. Well, I think Liv that you must not show up on my sitemeter. I see Mama Bee's visits, but not yours. And in any event, other than random hit on that dog name post I put up, you guys are it.

In any event, good to know you are here It's weird thinking you are talking to yourself. I can now tailor our discussions to just us girls. Heck, my Internet Boyfriend Forever

2011-01-26T10:47:31.703-06:00

Yeah, but shouldn't one experience with such wretchedness be enough to teach her to stay the $#@* away? EVERY SINGLE TIME. She refuses to learn and then wonders why her feet hurt. Stubborn old lady. But I love her just the same.
