Coming up For Air

I can not believe that its already the middle of December. Where the hell did the month go! I know, I know the month is not over but at this rate, by the time I actually post it will be over. I've barely posted anything this month, nor have I commented much on the blogs I regularly read. Heck my reader consistently has 50+ posts in it. I had a bit of set up back in the lab, data wise, so I've been madly trying to get / keep things on track there. Life itself has been crazy busy between going away on a weekend and getting ready for Christmas that I feel like I've had no time to sit down, let alone have time to myself. Since I started this blog back in May, I always had some time that was 'me time' after monkey went to bed for the evening as Mr.SM was usually studying. Now, monkey goes down and mr.sm is all like nudge nugde wink wink or chatty McChatteron. When I am supposed to visit with the internetz!! I'm also trying to learn genetics and all about fly department so I feel guilty reading blogs when i should be reading science. Though I'm pretty sure scienceblogs is a fair mix of fun and science but still its not teaching me about the pupal case dissections.

I also know that I'm not supposed stress out about the blog but its not stressed out need to cross this off my list type of stress, its the OMG I so haven't talked to my BFF and I totally miss her need to find time for her type of stress. Well I must now go do some laundry, get out the christmas lights, put up the wreath, figure out how to make samosas (of course the one dish I count on grandmother-in-law for, she no longer makes), read about the Na+K+Atpase and drink some coffee, make a grocery list....
First up, laundry, coffee and samosa's.
