Out the door

Out the door - meaning one
I just submitted a revised version of a paper. Yay! Too bad that doesn't actually mean anything for my CV. But maybe I'll get an acceptance before I have to turn in my CV update for our annual review. This also means that I'll eventually take down my InaDWriMo badge. I need to decide what to put in its place. Any suggestions?

Out the door - meaning two
I'm going to be in the field tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday. I'm excited about getting to see some new sites and get some collaborations going. Minnow is coming along on the first trip, so she adds a lot of hassle, especially since it is overnight (which is why she's coming along). Plus, temperatures will be at their lowest point of the year tomorrow, so I'm going to have to make sure she stays warm enough. On Friday, it's just a daytrip, so I'll be dropping her off at daycare and having to figure out a way to pump during the day. I can't win either way. But then again, how cool is it that I am getting to go in the field. I had so much fun this morning packing gear. And maybe since I've gotten in the habit of posting pictures 'round here I'll share some pictures with you when I get back.

The rest of the stories
It's the end of the year, and I'm feeling a bit reflective. (I'm also avoiding a daunting between-semesters to-do list. When will I manage to take a break?) In a recent comment thread, Female Engineering Professor commented: I often find myself wondering about various random threads on these blogs…
Bringing baby to a conference by myself (further proof of my insanity)
In a moment of pure foolishness, I decided it would be a good idea to submit an abstract. This was way back in June and the conference was months away. Surely, things would be calm and under control by the time the conference came. Minnow would be sleeping through the night and I'd just pay a…
In response to comments on my last post (traveling to conference with baby)
Wow everyone! Thanks for all your suggestions on my last post. I thought I'd respond here, since my comments are plenty long enough.... I'll probably still miss some things though. Re: pumping and breastfeeding. I am planning to nurse on the plane and during the conference proper. Unfortunately the…
