I’ve never had much confidence in the hair-business. My hairdo is invariably less of a hair-do and more of a hair-don’t, and that’s how it’s been for years. Even when I had waist-long hair in my teens, I did precious little with it – mostly because I didn’t know how. Now that I’m the proudRead more
Today I finished the last of my formal lectures for this semester. Y-A-Y-!!!!!! 🙂 On the whole this winter has been less panicky than last fall-quarter, but I’ve been very busy juggling two classes simultaneously, one of which was brand-spankin’-new! The schedule dictated that I taught four days per week (no teaching on Tuesdays). Read more
Yup, took yule-tide photos of the kids. The office finally came in handy, because not only does it have a big window, but it’s also convenient to string a backdrop over one of the walls. These were among the photos we took today: We should do these photo-shoots more often. 🙂Read more
Biked home in a proper storm! Yes, the one with rain AND wind, not the California ‘pretend’-storm (aka, some rain with mild wind, if any). Right now it’s a sustained wind of 16 m/s (36 miles/hr), with gusts of 26 m/s (58 miles/hr). It may have been slightly less a couple of hour or soRead more
We signed Anna up for swim practice this fall. She hasn’t been all too thrilled about it, but she’s nonetheless managed to get herself to the pool three times a week, after school, most weeks so far. So far most practices have been ok-to-fun, so that’s been encouraging. And just to recap: Before this sheRead more
These past few weeks have been a wee bit crazy. I find myself working in the evenings more often than not, and I’m not all that thrilled about it. I’ve been trying to figure out why my time-management isn’t any better, and I think it’s coming down to the new course. You see, I’ve hardlyRead more
… a husband on a soccer-trip to the UK. 🙂 I hope he has a great trip! 🙂Read more
1. Norway is really expensive! More expensive than Iceland. It’s a bit shocking. 2. It’s weird that I understand what all the signs say, and I can sorta read papers and magazines. But I can’t speak the language.Read more
I (Hrefna) am in Norway! As of today! Until Thursday morning! Why? Because I decided to be adventurous and gullible at the same time. The backstory is that last May, the managing director of RHnet (they have an astoundingly bare-bones website) contacted me seeking my assistance with a couple of conferences on networks (the data kind, notRead more
Today is the day Bjarki and Reynir should have been born. They weren’t so lucky, yadda-yadda-yadda, and that was that. If they had been born today though, they would have been four years old, and not four years and three months old. Which won’t matter much down the line, but during this age it stillRead more
