Yes!

That is all Teresa and I want to hear. Yes. There has been a lot of no’s coming our way. No, we don’t want you to work with us here at our school. No, we don’t think you are good enough to work at Starbucks. No, we don’t have any work for you this week. No, You were not our top pick. No, we don’t think your computer skills are good enough.

We are getting tired of these No’s. they are weighing on us. Heavily. The stress is building, and even Olive can feel it. Can we get just one Yes? Preferably in a place that will work for both of us? Please?

Holy Smokes! Obama came to A & M today to celebrate Points of Light volunteer organizations with Bush Sr…I was kind of hoping for more of a spectacle from the protestors…but these guys were funny. Any thoughts on what the heck the sign means?

I almost missed the picture for today, yipes! Thankfully I remembered while brushing my teeth. This shot is from the kayak roll class Teresa took. I have video to post, but for now all you get is a photo.

Teresa’s Dissertation Research!

Wylie — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:38:05 +0000

Are you bored, and need something to do for the next 10 minutes? Why not fill out an anonymous survey! It’s fun and everybody is doing it.

Teresa has posted her dissertation research survey over on zoomerang and needs people to fill it out.

Here is a link to the survey: zoomerang.com
Here is a link to the Facebook group: facebook.com

Here is a little info Teresa wrote about the survey:

This study is being conducted by Teresa Blevins, B.A. I am a doctoral candidate under the supervision of Randolph Pipes, Ph.D. at Auburn University. The purpose of this study is to understand attitudes about psychotherapy and how they relate to personality traits. Your participation in this study will help provide more information about how psychotherapy can be more effective.

The survey is confidential and will take about 15-20 minutes to complete. For each completed survey, $1 will be donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. You may withdraw participation at any time. The current study has been approved by the Auburn University Institutional Review Board (IRB). For more information regarding IRB approval and contact information, please click on the survey link below.

Now that you’ve read that, go take the survey and help Teresa finish school!

I’m a li’l slow…

So, the happenings of last weekend are old news at this point–with Wylie posting the walk score and the crime stuff (I am happy that the closest things to where we will be walking seemed to be a fire, a traffic stop, and a “resisting arrest”…a stabbing and a controlled substance were a little further out…but I will still be glad to walk around our new digs…), but, I am here reporting on them anyway! I totally kicked the Nantahala’s arse on Saturday in a ducky… and Mighty Atom got to strut his stuff with a roof rack on. Such a cute little sherpa car. For those of you who don’t know, I have been engaged in a ridiculous love affair with my car since about May of 2005, which was 3 months before I owned one, and 6 months before I owned this one (the first one got smashed to bits by a lady not paying attention coming out of Kroger. Thank goodness it was the car and not me that was smashed to bits!!)….

Also, we did, in fact, see a DeLorean on the way home. Everything Wylie said about it is true.

In other news, this week I am doing some of the last grading of papers and talking to classes at Auburn that will happen. It’s a little bit strange to remember all the things it has taken me 4 years to learn about doing my job and to put them down on paper for someone else to do…a reminder that we’re kind of replaceable, which can be a discomforting kind of thought at times…but also a sign that we are on to bigger and better things! I also turned in the paperwork to get approval to do the first part of my dissertation data collection. This does not sound that exciting, but to have it done now will make this next year much more pleasant–for Wylie and for me!
