This is the first shirt I ever purchased from Threadless. This shirt led to a bit of an addiction so that now I have a drawer full of Threadless T-shirts, but this one still remains to be my favorite. I can’t help but smile every time I look down at that little toothy grin. It’s
Right about now, people are making their New Year’s resolutions. They’re preparing for the big party to ring in the New Year and giving the boot to 2010. And I know this has been a very trying year for some of my friends, but really? I hate to say goodbye to 2010. I don’t think
Some times you get a fortune in your fortune cookie at just the right time, when you need it. I got this fortune on Monday when my lab went out for Christmas lunch. The funny thing was that one of the other post-docs also got that fortune. He promptly started making fun of it. I
It’s on the Life List to buy and refurbish an old camper. I put it on the list because it’s not only something I want to do, but it’s also something Chris really wants to do. We are constantly on the look out for an old beat up camper and planning what we’d do with

The busy season is upon us. Chris will be swamped at work until after the New Year. I will just be swamped with work until…forever. So we decided that this was the week to take a little time for ourselves. We are using this time to clean up, clean out, and re-organize, but it hasn’t
I’ve always been an early bird. I usually have no problem being up and ready at 7 AM. I know; it’s disgusting. But I’m usually crashing around 9 in the evening, so late night things are a bit of a struggle. But there’s something about the mornings that are so fresh and hopeful. It’s a
