In Which: Birthday, Buffet, and Busy busy busy!

My old man is 27! Woo!

Scott's birthday was on the 22nd (Monday of this week), but because his brother came to town for the BYU football game on Saturday, we celebrated all weekend long!!

The week before the birthday was super busy (like all our weeks), because I had to juggle school, trying to be a cleaner housewife, and secretly buying and wrapping an extra large birthday gift! 

Speaking of which, I totally slam dunked the gift-giving this year. I was so excited all month, because I had purchased the perfect Scott things, and just couldn't wait for the reaction. Scott kept telling me that he didn't even know what he wanted, so how in the world could I know?? We are practical gift givers--Scott and I both really enjoy gifts that are useful as well as fun. Knick knacks and silly gifts are fun, but they are more difficult for us to appreciate. So it was a great feeling to give gifts that showed Scott that I know him well, that were useful to him, and made him excited and happy. Are you wondering yet? Are you in suspense? 

In Which: Wonderful craziness ensues

Well, I have almost survived my second week back in the good ol' lab!! Or rather, the good new lab!! The new Life Sciences Building is new and fantastic. It reminds me of my brand new middle school Thomas Jefferson in 7th grade, except that this building is 5 times as big and advanced. The CLS lab is new and beautiful with spacious benches, comfy seats, and plenty of new equipment mixed in with some classic relics like my chem goggles from the 80s!!

My benchmate, Tielle--we are often crazed by Clinical Chemistry

In Which: We put our noses to the grindstone

Firstly, I'd like to apologize for the dry reading of last week. It was pretty bland for such an event-filled post.. I think after such a long week, my brain was fried and not in the writing mode, but I wanted to fill you in. So I wrote it anyway. Maybe one of these days I will go back and revise it so the tone is a little more peppy.

But not today!!

Today, I am writing about WORK. The end of my summer job, WORKing a yard sale, starting the school year, Scott's recognition at WORK. Work, work, work.
