3 More Days

Hello! I am taking a little break from Power Point madness. Ok, maybe I'm being a little melodramatic but that's just my way. Things are starting to come together. I have figured out an answer to my New Zealand dilema, which is really just too tedious to explain but it essentially kept me from determining a transverse reinforcement area for the joint. This actually makes sense to a couple people that might be reading this blog. If your not one of them, don't worry, it really isn't one of the great mysteries in life and you aren't missing out on anything exciting. I will be skipping out on the baseball challenge tomorrow where our lab group will be playing two games against another lab group. I think they're on to something here. What do you say - structures vs materials?? It's interesting because the lab groups here have activities throughout the year, sorta a forced break from studies to relax and have fun. Once a year they actually go away for a weekend retreat together. I think they should do this for us at UM? I suggested the baseball tournament to Professor Parra and he told me I was welcome to organize it. ARGH!! I wasn't looking for more work. :)

I am glad to hear that upon my return all of my familial peeps would be gathering at the Windsor clan home for a pica-nic boo boo, even the in law familials. All those familial units not in Florida that is. Josh is even bringing a new girl friend. WOW! Is he brave or what! Mom, if corn and peaches are is season, can you make a run to Versluis on Satuday? So they're nice and fresh...it's for the peanut... The poor guy is being subjected to an aweful diet this week. I have been busy and grabbing Bento Boxes and Micky Dee's for food, if you call it that. At the beginning of this pregnancy, Aaron and I had grand ideas that I was only going to eat organic and fresh homemade type foods. That this baby was not going to be filled with perservatives and whatever else they put in food these days. Well lets say I haven't exactly been able to hold up to those fine ideals under the pressure of Tokyo. I'm lucky if I know what I'm eating, none the less whether there are nitrates or perservatives in it!! Some of this concerns me but I guess I can only do my best. Which may not include McDonalds but it may not be the worst I have eaten. Well gotsa go back to work. See y'all soon!!
