In the next month, I’m seeing more live theater than when I worked full time for a theater company. And though I know a number of people who worked on the shows of course, I am also pleased (really?!) to say that I had no hand in any of them myself. I’m totally stoked to [...]

I was going to write about scallops tonight, but I can write about scallops any time. Today, I got to go on a tour of the steam tunnels underneath campus. I won’t get into why, except to say that it was a totally legitimate, officially sanctioned tour put together by one of the alumni volunteers [...]

Subtitled: guess who got a KitchenAid! And I love it oh so much, not the least because I got it brand new for half price. Since I’ve had it in my possession, I’ve gone a little nuts in the baking department. I made challah for my coworkers. It was just a double batch of Smitten [...]

My poor little MacBook has taken its share of physical and verbal abuses lately. The keyboard case is cracked again. The battery won’t hold a charge and needs to be replaced. This took me at least two weeks to figure out, since I thought at first it was just that I had tried to used [...]

Soccer season Now I can devote all my attention to preparing for the zombie apocalypse. Just kidding! Still scared to death of that. Looking forward to more hockey, though. And increased gym access. And Thanksgiving! Yes, [...]

I had an “old-Andrea” type of morning. Despite getting 8+ hours of sleep, I awoke exhausted, snoozing long enough to make me hurried but not long enough to make me late. I forgot: coat, notebook, bag, lunch, earrings and card (as in greeting, not bank). Several of those things were needed – but not necessary [...]

Well, I’m more than half way through the craziness. One more meeting on Thursday of this week, then Monday and Thursday of next week and I can breathe again until Homecoming. (Ha!) But in some ways it’s been an easier road than I was expecting – Avi’s transition to a non-family babysitter was brilliantly simple, [...]

And now we are three again. Avi and I made it through our first ever full week entirely on our own without any deleterious effects. And aren’t I a spoiled brat for going 5+ years before ever flying solo for seven days in a row. Of course, since he went to school and I went [...]

Most of you know I’m flying solo this week. (That’s part of the reason I’ll be missing PodCamp Pittsburgh 5. [but you should still go! Seriously!]) Luckily, work has been ridiculously supportive and accommodating so I can take Avi to school in the mornings. That’s been an interesting challenge in and of itself, since this [...]

The first Tuesday of every month we have breakfast goodies at our weekly staff meetings. The responsibility for the snacks rotates amongst the departments, and tomorrow is the first time since I started my new job that my department is up. I don’t know what anybody else is bringing – we talked about it last [...]
