The Plate is Full

I have been absent from blogging for some time now. Perhaps it's the business of the new job (almost done with my first year as a professor!), the continued stress of the dissertation (deadline for filing to keep job=May 15), or the bliss of being in love with an amazing man (yes, it's true, and might I say FINALLY!). There is a lot on my plate, but that isn't so new I suppose.
