A girl and her cat take on the world with nothing more than a cup of tea and a good book and enough dreams to fill the universe.
Hello world! It's been awhile. I've been a little bogged down with a cat crisis, where my lovely Joplin ran off and has yet to come back and it's been so long, I doubt he will, and a sister visit to Laramie, where I got to see my little sister making a go of it... Continue Reading →
This year has been off to an incredibly hectic start and with that, the Nothing as Awesome as Science - Absolutely NASA program is back up and running.

It's been a little over a month since my last post, but I want to get back into the swing of things. I have missed blogging and tweeting and my Special Methods class especially, but by continuing to blog, I can still communicate with them and with others. I can be a part of change...
