the final frontier
Our universe is quite beautiful
" This photograph released in 2003, taken by NASA (news - web sites)'s Hubble Space Telescope (news - web sites)'s Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in 1999, captures a small region within M17, a hotbed of star formation. The uncertain fate of the Hubble Space Telescope, whose images have helped unravel some of the universe's deepest mysteries, has sparked debate in the US Congress and the scientific community due to the growing costs of keeping it among the stars."

Did I move to Seattle?
A new storm is blowing in, it seems like it has mostly been raining since December. A news report the other night said we have had more than twice our average rain for this time of year and that Seattle has had less than half of their average for this time of year...weird!

Soooo cute!
What a little cutie this peach blossom is!

Bonus Day!
The past few days have been full of good news for me, and I am so grateful. Those of you who know me personally, know that my family and I have been through a tremendously long and challenging past few years. Good news is always welcome! :O)
I received word today that my thesis was officially accepted and I should receive my Masters degree diploma this year. I have worked very hard on my thesis and had a strange series of mishaps that almost kept me from completing it. It is important to me for many reasons, probably the most important is that it marks off another huge thing I took on, and actually saw thru to completion, something that has always been difficult for me. It also means that I won't have these school loans hanging over my head for nothing and that I might actually be able to start angling my education more towards my livelihood, and that would be fabulous.
To every single one of you, thank you, because if you are reading this you have contributed.
Lots of love - jls

I received a star today, it is located in the constellation of Capricorn
"This constellation has been recognized since Babylonian times. It is generally depicted as a goat with a fish tail, although the name literally means horned goat. It is usually associated with the greek god, Pan.

Capricorn is one of the most ancient constellations, despite the fact that its stars are rather faint. Also, the stars do not look so much like a goat at first glance. Capricorn is easiest to see in August."

TGIF
It has been a super long week, travelling for business, fighting my way thru impossible new deadlines, and not getting much sleep. I am quite grateful for a weekend where there is at least the possibility of rest.
I am having internet connectivity issues @ home also, which is my excuse for so little posting the past month.
Happy Friday!

How the bleep did it get to be February?
I am taking the realization that tommorrow is February 1st, pretty hard - where did January go? The first month of the year is over, it makes me feel like I am already behind, like when you wake up at noon on a saturday and feel like the whole day is pretty much over...
Time moves so fast now, it is true that it seems to accelerate as I age, and I find that pretty scary!

winding down
the birthday festivities are winding down, it's practically been a a whole birthday month of celebration, much to my surprise. A few people really went out of their way to make it a special birthday for me, and it is appreciated more than they will likely ever know.
My family also went to a lot of trouble to make it special: phone calls, cards, presents, flowers and best of all, visits, and that was the hard part of it all, letting them go back home :O)

At my desk
Last summer, after finishing a huge project, the company sent the team out for lunch and bowling. I took a picture of this sign, and hung it at my desk, bullet number 3 just cracks me up :O)
