First week for the outdoor farmer's market on the Capitol square!!!! EEEEeeeeee!!!! It allows me to combine my love of food with my love of people watching. And baby watching. And puppy watching. Mainly I just love seeing so many different folks all grinning and frolicking and eating cheese curds. It's contagious.

Speaking of contagious, I caught the roaming plague that is working its way through the lab. It starts with a sore throat, moves into your sinuses and makes you dizzy, and then moves back to the sore throat, and then slowly ekes away. I hope it doesn't come back--this is no time of year to be sick. As if there ever was one.

Being sick meant I couldn't run for a week, and right now I'm sticking to the five minute walk/five minute run cycle, since it's still a bit rough near the end of five minutes and I don't want to shuffle-run. Baby I wanna RUN run five minutes. It's a joy these days, since the weather is turning ridiculously springy with flowers and leaves popping out everywhere. I have managed the bravery to wear shorts and blind the world with my freakin' white legs (haven't really worn shorts for 2 summers). It's just to warm not to wear shorts.

My preliminary exam is scheduled for July 10th. So there. Deadline set. Egads. The day of my seminar will be two months away from it. It's so damn close already. . . . Prepare for increasing craziness as it sinks in even more. However, if science cooperates, I will have this really cool project to fire me up to read all the papers I'm going to have to beforehand. Damn work!

Finally: I have the best boyfriend in the whole world (Alice it's ok because you have the best HUSBAND in the world!). Also, I have potted lots o' flowers on my porch, and hope that the wasps don't come back so that I might lounge out there to read all those papers I mentioned. . . .

Cheerio!
