My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Just before the summer holidays one of my colleagues was wearing these amazing shoes and I asked about it. It was also just around the time that I was reading _Born to Run_ to motivate myself to really get into running. Since I love toe socks (pictured in the _Born to Run_ post), I was totally fascinated by these shoes! Before my summer accident I had great plans of running outside in Thailand…

  • I have a few thoughts mulling around, but no time at the moment to get to writing on it… So, instead, here are some photos from life here in the crazy Dhabs! [shashin type=”photo” id=”6243,6242,6241″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”]

  • Lately, I’ve been considering a new future blog. It won’t happen until I finish my PhD because really I don’t need yet another blog or way to use up my time…. However, I’m torn. I’ve got this blog, my professional blog and started an ADPOV blog that lies dormant. I barely keep this one up and my poor professional blog has long been neglected…. Still…I’ve long wanted to have an adoption blog. Yet,…

  • There are times when I am reminded to stop and take stock of my life and relationships. Yesterday (Friday) was one of those moments… R went out to swim on the roof and came back shortly after leaving as he didn’t realize that they had implemented a new security system where we have to use our parking cards to access the pool. On his way back he heard some commotion in an apartment…

  • Yes, that’s right, it’s that time of year again – when the weather starts to break from the intolerable heat and people come out of summer hibernation. It’s also a great time to plant seeds to get them germinating for harvest in a couple of months when the weather is cool, but glorious! Now that I’m starting to actually be able to enjoy my weekends and relax a bit, I decided it was…

  • It took me quite a while to complete my latest masterpiece at pottery class, but at last my hard work has paid off! Although I have no real intention of showing my work at the next pottery exhibit, I took on the theme “Teapots” for one of my projects. While I had made a version before, I wasn’t satisfied with it as it has been moved to a shelf rather than being used…

  • It’s been a very busy start to the fall and new academic year. One of the reasons is because the major government higher education institutions were required to implement the use of iPads. This came about at the end of the last academic year, but the fun really began when we came back for this year. Since work began in early September, I have been deeply involved in faculty training and also attending…

  • I thought it might be good to start off with a post on my “ups and downs” as it has been a while since I wrote anything about it. By the way, this is what I call my ‘bipolar’ tendencies. My therapist and I have agreed that I definitely have a pattern and whether or not we put a label on it doesn’t really matter – so I prefer this term for now.…

  • To start off fresh, I decided that the site needed a bit lightening up as the black was starting to feel a bit too dark. While I like the artsy look it gives my photos, I felt a little change wouldn’t hurt anybody. 😀 It’s been a busy time, but things are starting to fall into place (get it? fall…haha). So, upcoming posts will include: *restarting my container garden *adventures in the kitchen…
