http://macsoontobephdblog.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
There's a light at the end of the tunnel and it isn't an oncoming train. September 20, 2007. Weird Al and other topics. So, I've rediscovered Weird Al Yankovic's parodies. I now have them on my Ipod, so when I'm browsing, checking email, etc., I have a play list of his songs that is over five hours long. I haven't listened to it straight through. Even I couldn't stand it for that long. And even if I find a decent paying job and it has health insurance (don't even get me started! September 6, 2007.

There's a light at the end of the tunnel and it isn't an oncoming train. December 26, 2007. December 26th - Year 28. I wake this morning to my beloved boyfriend grumbling/bellowing, "I can't find the sandwich bags." You would think I could at least get a "Happy Birthday Macaela! So he went to work and I went back to bed, I thought that 7:00 AM was entirely too early time to be up on my 28th birthday. And all was well again by the time my head hit the pillow. While drinking my coffee I start to watch,.

There's a light at the end of the tunnel and it isn't an oncoming train. September 24, 2010. How I met Mr. Wonderful. So we chatted online before I headed to San Francisco for ATHE conference.

There's a light at the end of the tunnel and it isn't an oncoming train. February 27, 2010. So starting week three of taking care of Wayne, and guess what brilliant thing he asked Scott to do today? He asked Scott to go get the handsaw out of the garage (keeping in mind this is a 79 year old man with a broken leg (red cast now - re-casted on Thursday).

Future PhD Mac: There is a reason for this melancholy
http://macsoontobephdblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/there-is-reason-for-this-melancholy.html
There's a light at the end of the tunnel and it isn't an oncoming train. January 2, 2011. There is a reason for this melancholy. Like I said, January slump. It is January 2nd, eleven years ago today my family changed - and yes in the long run it did change for the better - but it has taken me a long time to get to that. And that doesn't mean I still don't think of it - especially today, I just wonder if I'm the only one who does. I'm very afraid that Titanic. Tonight - wow, almost like a date or something.
