She's Alive!

The November/December time crunch is on, but I had to update you all:

• I have been accepted into UNT's PhD program in Higher Education!! Horray! (And eeek!)
• Appropriate gifts to commemorate the occasion include these sassy t-shirts.
• No, this has no bearing on when/if we're having kids, and furthermore, that's none of your business. Um, not that I'm sensitive about the subject...
  
• Thanksgiving with 18 of our family members was great fun.
  
• My hair has been re-dyed and is now slightly less fire-engine red. Very, very slightly.
• Alex and I are flying to Las Vegas for a real--gasp--vacation on Christmas Day, for 4 days/3 nights.
• I'm flying on four different trips during December, evenly divided between work and pleasure. Yikes.

And that concludes the news portion of this program. Thank you, and good night.
