February Recap

Has it been two weeks since my last post? Time flies. Here is a recap from the past two weeks:
1. Work:
The new job is going well and I am getting along well with my fellow colleagues. It's a big change with a sharp learning curve. Something strange happened - I am more confident in my abilities to conduct the experiment and offer troubleshooting suggestions.
Jennifer worked relentlessly on the review paper, which was submitted last week. Hopefully it will be accepted and that will make it three papers for me.
2. Garden:
We have two new additions - an aloe vera plant and a succulent/cacti garden.
3. Walking: According to Commutesmart.org, I walked 22 times, carpooled 4 times, and drove alone twice. This means that out of the past 14 days, I walked 11 days. 22 miles plus extras on some days when I walk to lunch or to get paperwork signed.
4. Crafts: Our portraits (Payal and I) have been framed. I've been playing with different versions of the wedding invitations and save the dates. I just have to mock up a complete set for Tom. I am also creating our own centerpieces. More on this after the Pinterest Challenge party next week. I will post an updated to-do list over the weekend. Jennifer had a Superbowl Party, which culminated in her allowing Emily, Stacy, and I pick through her huge stash of scrapbook supplies. I may need more storage furniture...shh don't tell Tom.
5. Wedding: Yes, we have a date (April 27, 2013) and yes, we have a location in Birmingham, AL. We will have a Mauritian wedding as well but that date hasn't been set yet.

Ooh and remember to "laissez les bons temps rouler" tomorrow for Mardi Gras! Eat King Cake!
