A Good Sunday

From here.

Sometimes, when I'm totally losing my mind over work and weddings and whatever else it is that I lose my mind over, the Fella is justrightthere to make me stop and realize how good things are. After I left work tonight, we hopped on our bikes, grabbed some sushi and wine, and went to watch Shakespeare in Schiller Park with our impromptu picnic. It was a good Sunday.

And Bottom the Weaver totally killed.

Summer hiatus is over, and a toothbrush

After my long and certainly woe-inducing absence, I once again return to share my tales of knitting, science and everything else. To catch you up:

1. The countdown to candidacy has officially begun (date is set!) and therefore the requisite freaking out will commence shortly.

2. Science has had some recent ups and downs, most recently an up. Therefore, all is well at work.3. I love my new toothbrush. It has a little bend backwards, which makes all of your teeth so easy to clean. I like how simple the design is, too. It is from Preserve, which recycles #5 plastics and turns them into pretty things.

Apparently most community recycling programs can't handle these dense #5 plastics, so they end up in landfills. Now, I'm not trying to get on a hippie-high-horse, but this seems pretty cool to me. Plus they also recycle Brita filters.
I want these next. 100% recycled materials, dishwasher safe, and if I totally muck them up, re-recyclable, natch.
