Yes, for shame I don't blog regularly much any more. An apology to you if this is the main way we keep in touch. I graduated from U of A in May with my Master's in Public Health. I have moved back to Phoenix and started a job with the state health department. My official title is: HIV Incidence/Surveillance Epidemiologist for the Arizona ( Read more... )

I am pleased to announce the arrival of my niece, Rachel Jean Williams. She was born today, December 16, 2007 at 3:24pm. She is a beautiful 7 pounds, 15 ounces and a perfect 19.5 inches long. Her mom and dad are tired, but doing well. Scott managed to get some pictures out to the family. As you can see, she is in fact, the cutest little girl ( Read more... )

I think this is awesome, but I couldn't help but wonder if my bibliophile friends would love or shudder at this idea: how to make a purse out of a book. Thoughts?

yes I haven't posted lately...working on it?

Sometimes they would come bundled with class notes or keys for online resources. And when it came time to sell it back, it would be the right edition. At least those were my ( Read more... )

You may remember about a year ago a post I made about my excessive tomatoes and recipes I found to use them up. Well the same friend has had a windfall (hee!) of apples--thank you Daniel!. He has tons of galas and red delicious up for grabs. I went for the galas for baking. I didn't want to do a pie (I've done a lot of pies lately...maybe later ( Read more... )

You may remember a post from about this time last year about the population of mosquitoes in Tucson.
Well they are back. with a vengeance. regarding my ankles apparently.
