This doesn’t seem like nearly enough links for the first two days of eduwebconference, so I’ll come back to this after the conference and try again.

I’d love to develop a way to enter a hashtag and date range, then have all the tweets pulled and displayed by links, how many folks RT those links, etc. For now, I’ll save these here and hope to come back to it later.

Witnessed the arrival of Emily Anderson, who is re-creating the cross-country drive by Vassar alumna Alice Ramsey — the first women to drive cross country, back in 1909.

We spent the week relaxing, took a boat ride on the Hudson, stopped by Orange County Choppers to get some pics for Steve, and went on a bunch of roller-coasters at Six Flags (with no lines!)

This is why I go to New Jersey every week. Felt bad about missing his karate class today, but needed a break from travel after the conference.

I’m being watched

I went a little overboard with a cake in honor of our senior editor’s retirement. The cake is of the Shakespeare Garden, a wonderful place on the Vassar campus, and took about 4 days to make. On the sides of the cake we had lego-like depictions of all the people in the office, made from ShrinkyDinks.

After a couple years of growing out my hair I finally cut it back a bit.  Now just above my shoulders.  Pictures later this week.  I’m worried about Garrett’s reaction — he loves to play with my hair, especially when it’s in a ponytail, and that’s because he’d do that with his mother.  If he flips I’ll just have to reassure him that it will grow back.

Not quite a rant, venting session, or anything terribly cranky. (more…)

Current mood: tired

Been forgetting to keep up the list of excess purchases…..looking through the credit card bill I see….

Bottle of water at an amusement park (first time I used a credit card in a vending machine)
Small amount of crap at IKEA
Not sure why I spent $50 at CVS (although I think expensive sunscreen was in the bag)
Fair amount of birthday-related booze (also for Friday night dinner)
Wow, spent a lot on travel; luckily getting reimbursed for a bunch of that
Blew a lot of cash on coffee and lunches

All in all, getting better. Didn’t check out of the usual suspects after gathering a sizable shopping cart quite a few times. Avoiding Target.
