Its my birthday on Saturday! Yay for birthday week and presents. And cake
I am off today. I feel so scheduled for this month. Almost every day has plans. I like to have nothing days. But then again, I feel like I am making the most out of life.

Happy Early Birthday!
I just got an abstract accepted to a big conference in January. The biggest reason I'm excited is the conference is in Texas and I've never been there before.
I'm looking for a new job. There's (finally!) a local opening that's perfect for me and I am a very strong candidate. And while I was having coffee with the person who is my "in" for this job, she offered me a different one. So now I have several great options to think about

Happy birthday to you on Saturday! I know the feeling about liking "nothing" days. But that rarely happens this time of year. I get a little flustered when I don't have an unscheduled day for a couple of weeks.
I have the day off, which is so needed after a crazy weekend of travel and family. I have a doctor's appointment in an hour, but then rest of the day is wide open!
I got my lazy butt out of bed this morning and ran on the treadmill before work. It was slow and painful, but I will hopefully stick with it. I ran a half marathon a few years ago, but since having my daughter, I have not made time to exercise. I have been feeling bad about myself and this made me feel awesome.
RBP - did I miss an update? How did the committee meeting go?
I deleted a bunch of my updates from yesterday because I am paranoid that my committee will somehow find them. Haha.
It did not go well. They want more corrections, which is annoying, but then the conversation devolved into an RBP bashing in which they told me that I never should have been allowed to stay in the program because my experimental skills are subpar. In the end, I just have to do more corrections to appease them, but I am still hurt from the conversation.
I am getting blood drawn at 1pm so I cannot eat at all this morning and all I want to do is EAT ALL THE FOOD. Girlfriend never skips breakfast--let alone breakfast and lunch!

Boo. I'm sorry RBP. From what I've read from your posts on here, you seem really dedicated. At least you're almost done right?

I AM dedicated, but my committee is holding against me that I'm not a gifted experimentalist when THEY were the ones who continually passed me at my yearly research reports. BLAH.
Yes, I am almost done. This is just another hoop to jump through (albeit a hoop made of flaming shit).

I PPH that hot pink shirt. I think I need it in my life. :Y:
I get to leave work early today! Wheeeeeeee! But its to take BabyBAMF to his 4 month check-up. Not much fun. And MrB has bailed on me to go too. He doesn't feel well and wants to go home to sleep. He has a Man Cold.
I've got another one (to cancel out tacom's bad behavior, LOL).
I teach two of the six sections of general chemistry. The department chair, who teaches one of the other sections, suggested that we all give the final exam to standardize grades across our sections. THEN HE SENT ME A FINAL EXAM THAT HE ALREADY WROTE.
Um, yes please! Not having to write the final exam means that the only teaching-related work I have to do between December 10 and 20 is field my students' questions and grade the finals.
It's Wednesday and DH and I don't work Friday this week! woohoo! Every 3 weeks DH gets Friday-Tuesday off. The rest of the month he works M-Sat. I LOVE this week
AND I am partying all day on Saturday. My friends moved their annual Christmas party to afternoon because of football, so I'll be at their house from 1-4 pm then having a birthday party at my house at 8. :drink:
