blarg. agu.

it's that time of year again. agu. a conference in san francisco, that aaron (and most of my friends) goes to every year for about a week. usually it isn't too bad. this year, however, i do not have a job (or friends) to keep me occupied. so it's 11 days of hanging solo.

it actually hasn't been as bad as i thought it would be. i, of course, drafted a to-do list that has been keeping me fairly occupied the entire time. there has also been plenty of knitting and genealogy as well (i have now traced aaron's family back to the 1700's). but i'm definitely ready for him to come back. as soon as i get motivated i'll add some before/after pictures to wech and barbs go south for some of the projects that have been taking up my time.

also, there are the best facebook quotes from my friends during agu. my friend, rachel, overheard someone say "sometimes i think she likes magnetite a little too much". isn't that cute? i love scientists.

last, but not least, happy birthday to my mamma (dec 16) and dad (dec 19). my dad is the person i inherited my love of history and therefore genealogy. my mother is the reason my fingers are dry and cracked now (who do you think i learned scrubbing the floor on my hands and knees from?) but she is also the reason my house is sparkling clean. i couldn't have asked for better parents. i wish them both the happiest of birthdays!

yay! for aaron coming home in 2 days!
