Hello world.  Welcome to my blog.  I don't know what my blog means yet, but I'm hoping that I can sort that out as I go along.  There are a number of things that I like to talk about though, so I can at least identify a few common themes:
1)  Figuring out my life.
This is a big one.  The recent Anne-Marie Slaughter articles: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/06/having-it-all-anne-marie-slaughter-responds-to-readers/259207/

have helped me to some degree with this issue, but this is still an open problem.  Solutions welcome!
2)  Making healthy choices for me and also environmentally friendly choices.
This one just makes me happy.  It mostly includes my farmshare, electricity decisions, commuting decisions, and frisbee playing.
3)  My cat.
Like a good cat lady, I'm sure I won't be able to avoid posting pictures and stories about my husband's and my adorable and crazy cat.
4)  There is the possibility that dorky science posts may populate this blog.  As a graduate student in chemistry/physics, this might be inevitable.
