I bought this hat. I might look like a dork but it sure makes me feel cute.
I made a pan of ghiradelli brownies and ate 2/3 of them. Yes, it was a big regular-sized pan. And yes, I really did eat 2/3 of it.
I wrote 6 paragraphs of a research paper that I am extremely excited about. Like, extremely excited. It is the finale of three grants I have had & something I have wanted to do since graduate school.
I met a woman who took her 11 month old to the field. She agreed that my field site is a bit too remote for taking M, but it was nice to have some comaraderie on the women-with-babies-who-do-fieldwork-in-africa issue. There aren't very many of us that I know of.
That hat is so cute - I love Sundance! I'm sure you look fab in it!
ReplyDeleteI love the hat- adorable! The brownies must have been delish!
ReplyDeleteYou are excited about your paper???? I am sooooo jealous right now.
ReplyDeleteI forgot that you work in remote Africa. It does sound like a bit much for M. What are you going to do? How long do you have to be gone?
i had missed that you do field work in africa. Excellent!! Will and I have an affinity for Africa. Would love to hear more about your area of work if you ever felt like sharing...
ReplyDeleteMrow. :)
ReplyDeleteWish I'd been there to eat the other 1/3 ... but I guess your DH helped? I hope he appreciated them properly.
Two of my favorite faculty members from my old institution (!) did field work in Tanzania. I believe they brought young children ... though Tanzania is a pretty big place. :) I'm sorry that your site is too remote!
A friend of mine has her 7-month baby out in the field in Malawi, though not in the middle of nowhere to be sure. She also has a blog; I can give you the link if you would like? (My email is on my blog).
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that hat!
This is a great day for you.. the brownie sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteI *just* had a conversation today about Ghiradelli brownies and how we each almost ate the entire batch the last time we made them. They're like crack.
