I was awaken this morning by my awesome parents who called to wish me a Happy Birthday. THANK YOU! 😀 It’s hard to believe I’m 34 today. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been in my family for 26 years! It’s hard to believe I’ve still got friends for the same amount of time. Truly,…

So, it’s Day 5 (why do I count days…?) of 10 to be spent in AD before I head back to the States for the summer. I feared being a little bit bored since almost all of my friends have fled the country and my BF will be gone until this weekend. Though I had…

Here’s my progress report – *At last my Jordan trip updates are done – with pics even! 🙂 I was motivated by the fact that I’m going on another trip today and don’t want to confuse them…. *I’ve completed and submitted at least a comprehensible draft of my dissertation proposal so that I can have…

Sometimes I feel lost in this crazy world. I wonder if I’m the one who is going crazy or if just nearly everyone else is that way…? Philosophical topics have been going through my mind of late: – Why do I really have a mental block about going home this summer? *Maybe because it represents…

While I was using my blog changes as a way of distraction from being as productive as I should be, it’s now down to crunch time and so I will have to put the blog updating on hold for a bit longer. Still, I will try writing here and there as it’s the best outlet…

Well, I think I’m nearly done moving all the content over to this new site. Just the laborious task of moving the photos over…. The hope is that all the separate blogs/links (blogger, tumblr, etc.) that were connected to my site will now be housed here since I can now easily post while traveling or…

My page is undergoing some major adjustments and will be back – new and improved – soon… I hope! Stay tuned!!! -T

It’s been ages, I know…. My computer was away and so my blog has lapsed… Plus, now I’m thinking about changing hosts for my website again as I’m too dependent on my Mac to be able to update….Anyway, I babble. On April 16, Tom Jones was in town and I was there to take it…
