A TEASER
Lots has happened in the life of SteveNLaura, but because lots has happened, we have had no time to blog. We do, however, have pictures! And I am excited to share them with you! Alas, I have to find my desk (see below for why it's lost) first, so for now you get a teaser... a taste of what's to come in the blog world of SteveNLaura.
- Steve studies REALLY hard for his qualifying exams while simotaneously packing. Laura trys to do most of the packing, so that Steve can study all the harder. (Week of 8/1 through 8/10/05)
- Steve continues to study hard and pack. Laura helps him out by getting out of his hair and going to the beach (8/11)
- Where she sees lots of cool birds and critters, a lighthouse, and lots of friends. She completely breaks any diet she held before the trip, learns she really DOESN'T like seafood, not even the fresh stuff (although squid was REMARKABLY good) AND she learns how to surf! After about 3 runs on the surfboard, she sucessfully stands up AND rides a wave to the shore! She is proud, oh so very proud. She decides she loves surfing. (8/12)
- Laura discovers that SPF 30 waterproof sunscreen doesn't REALLY stop you from getting burned to a crisp while surfing for an afternoon. She wakes up in pain from the day before, and spends the day in her suit again (because it's the only piece of clothing that doesn't hurt) but doesn't go swimming and stays under an umbrella on the beach watching others try to battle 7 feet high waves. (8/13) Meanwhile back at the ranch, Steve studies.
- Laura goes home, the packing fun begins again. (8/14 & 8/15)
- Laura takes a half-day off work & Steve takes a half-day off studying to move with friends (8/16)
- Laura takes a half-day off work to clean the old apartment with friends (8/17)
- Steve takes his first qualifying exam (8/18)
- Steve and Laura spend the evenings unpacking, and are EXHAUSTED (8/17 - today)
Pictures of surfing, the beach, and the move (as well as, maybe, the new place) to come!
Good news is, we now have wireless internet, and over 200 TV channels, so once our place IS put together, we'll have plenty to keep us occupied for two days -- then school will start for both of us!

Comments:
Wow, busyness! People are doing their best to make my next 2 weeks (the two before classes start right after Labor Day) as busy as heck. The week before, I have meetings, syllabi, etc. to work on, and next week, I'll be heading back from IL, seeing people in the TC, etc. Yuck. Well, not quite yuck, there's fun in there, but I do like to have a bit of a better lead in before things get going.
Anyhow, I hope the new digs are nice for you: don't let cable suck you in like it does to so many. I'd often watch for a couple hours when I just wanted a 15 minute break, so it can be dangerous.
