The Mons: Enough already with “War on Christmas”
http://themons.blogspot.com/2011/12/enough-already-with-war-on-christmas.html
Tuesday, December 20, 2011. Enough already with “War on Christmas”. A few weekends ago, our lab hosted a holiday party for research participants and their families. During the party, I noticed the diversity of the group. I also realized that of the 75 or so guests at that party, at least. One-third likely do not celebrate Christmas for either cultural or religious reasons. Which makes me wonder…why are some people so angry about saying Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas? And, its crazy that Christ...

Saturday, November 26, 2011. Lil Ging" 10 months old. Wednesday, November 16, 2011. Advice for future doc students. Now that I'm realizing that I actually may graduate one day, I keep thinking about what I wish I had known (or fully embraced) when I started. The problem is my brain is so gone that I can't remember all these tidbits at once. So, I'll just try to log them here when I think of them. 3 When you are reading stuff that actually DOES relate to your line of research or is otherwise important, an...

Sunday, November 3, 2013. Parenting is such a mutual-learning experience. Today I caught myself apologizing for a bad return when August and I were hitting the ball around.

The Mons: Slow learner
http://themons.blogspot.com/2013/10/slow-learner.html
Tuesday, October 8, 2013. Very, very slowly I am learning that it really does make a difference to do a couple of simple, small things to decrease stress and maybe increase productivity. The bad news is that these things seem so obvious that I can't believe I didn't figure this out before. Duhhh. So building upon my list. 1 making the bed in the morning (why is this so effective? No later than 10 at night. 3 reading something for enjoyment before trying to sleep; little to no screen time. My Ho Hum Life.

Friday, September 23, 2011. Hello, er.40! Today is Friday of Birthday Weekend. I am not working today, getting home stuff done that has been languishing while I've been marathon reading and writing for the last.forever. And having a leisurely lunch and nail appt with Jana. Nice way to start the new year/decade/life, part II. Anyway, this birthday is one where people like to take stock, look at their lives so far, look ahead, mull, evaluate. Not a bad exercise. Tuesday, September 20, 2011. On my way back.

Wednesday, December 11, 2013. Mom identities: the MIKs vs. the MILOS. I have a ton of grading to do, so that means I must procrastinate with something so uberimportant as a blog post. Sigh. I know plenty of SAHMs who are MILOS, but I also know a few who are MIKs. I can't think of any working moms who are MIKs, but surely they are out there. (To be honest, I also know a couple MIWs - work is my identity and MINs - nothing's my identity, and those are also problematic! So, why am I writing about this?
