The semester is finally over for the domestic and laboratory goddess. The talk was given and tears were held at bay, the Isis brood is tucked in bed, and I am snuggled up on the couch reading Cracked, watching The Lost World, and browsing Urban Decay on Sephora.
Figure 1: The Best Worst Movie Ever!
Also, I have been watching videos of R2-D2s in a chorus line.
Video 1: R2-D2s are even better than the Rockettes.
The Isis family leaves for vacation on Sunday. I intend to spend seven glorious days hiking, eating like a temple, running, and playing with the Isis kids. Tomorrow I plan to do nothing but sleep until I wake up, clean my kitchen, keep a date with my favorite waxing lady, visit Sephora, and play with the Isis kids. My adrenals are already beginning to return to normal.
In blog related news, go check out the American Physiological Society's Facebook page. Dr. Isis received a very nice shout out from APS executive director Dr. Martin Frank. And, while you're at it, become a member of Dr. Isis's favorite scientific society and she'll see you at Experimental Biology.

Ah! Hiking and running! Warm, sunny, locale! Mountains too!! I am green, GREEN with jealousy.
From the hints, would it be near the mark to assume this is somewhere in the spectacularly beautiful Southwest? SoCal, AZ, or NM? Or even Mexico? I will be eagerly waiting for the domestic, laboratory and mountain trail goddess to return and lay down some gorgeous photographic hotness.

EB! man, i haven't been there since 2003! (i took a sharp left in the direction of my work about then.) i was not there with aps but i did go to some of the posters in that section. i loved the meeting.

"... eating like a temple, "
Ya know, or probably not, I enjoy 'collecting' odd phrases that I find on the tubes. I thought perhaps I had missed an odd idiom with that thought, but no. Google finds only your usage of it.
I am tempted to think you meant 'temple goddess' ... but I try not to put words in others mouths, so...
Regardless, sounds like fun. Enjoy your family- and self-centered downtime. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Dr. Isis,
Thanks for the plug for APS and the Experimental Biology meeting. I hope to see you in New Orleans in April.
Happy Holidays to you and your family as well as all of your readers.
Marty
