Long time no post

Hmmm, been ignoring this blog for a while, huh? I think this proves I'm a procrastinator (I could pull the "I'm working on my thesis" card but really, my thesis is not why I don't blog). However, I'm trying to spark my creative writing muse, which I will need to write my dissertation, so I am challenging myself to a blog post a day until I am done. Writing, I mean.

So... what have I been up to?

1. Distributed/parallel computing,
2. Raising two rugrats and sort-of homeschooling a kindergartener,
3. Baby shower and birthday party throwing,
4. Reading (I have recently banned myself from reading any fiction until I'm done my thesis)
5. Sorting through digital photos. I am taking WAY fewer photos than before, but I need to actually DO something with the ones I have taken,
6. Researching borderline diabetes,
7. Organizing, decluttering, giving stuff away and throwing things out,
8. Facebook. Yup, I got sucked in. It's a mommy networking tool.

In the next few days I'll elaborate on some of these points.
