One year as cobloggers - yay!

i-f875c0b07d9b3cb6229668554781b35a-alice.jpgIt was one February ago, as in one year ago in February, that I abandoned my old pseudonymous blogging pad, and threw my lot in with the formidable Science Woman as a new coblogger. We were both working our ways through our first year of tenure-track, and I think each struggling a bit with keeping up the blogging (particularly on my end). She invited; I accepted; and as of now we have survived year 1.

I'm so very grateful to have been invited, and to have been welcomed by all Science Woman's readers. To Science Woman: thanks for a good year of blogging together, and even more for becoming a great friend. I hope we see at least a couple more blogging years together. :-)

So here I am in sunny and unsustainable Tempe, enjoying the warm weather and empty morning (the workshop I'm here to attend doesn't start until 1:30 local time). I spent this morning sleeping in (gasp!), chatting to my mom on iChat, calling a friend whose birthday it is (Hi, Sarah!), and -- even…
Hahahah, I foolishly thought that, when summer officially started, my life would settle down. Hohoho, so why don't I try to complicate things by, oh, I don't know, how about moving, and putting our house on the market? So here are some updates that give a somewhat authentic snapshot of what I'm…
And now for something completely different. There was a time when, as a blogger, I would have been instantly aware of an incident like the one I'm about to discuss, instantly aware of it and all over it within a day. That it's been a few days since this happened, and I remained blissfully unaware…
My husband turns 40 this weekend, and we are celebrating. When asked what he wanted to do for his birthday, he said he wanted a party, just like the ones we have for the kids on their birthdays - lots of food, lots of friends, very casual. We've managed to collect 40-50 friends and family…

Dear Alice,

Thanks so much for the beautiful flowers! And even more thanks for the wonderful year of co-blogging. I can't even begin to say how much it has meant to me to have a partner in crime.

Alice,
I love you, two, very much, because yours are truly great readings and learnings for me. I enjoy also your superb photos along with relevant proses written as beautiful as many established full time writers of profession would pen. Hang in there, and keep on plowing and planting your world so that we all harvest and nourish the bounty you bring to us. Congratulations and streams of coblogversaries to follow!
