good week

I had a great week. Tuesday I did laundry, snagged Eman a Bday present and baked him a cake at 12:30 at night. He woke up sniffing the air (when I finally went to bed) and was mumbling about brownies. We went to dinner on Wed night (his B-Day) and then met up with a couple of friends for very few drinks and to say goodbye to a colleague who was moving to Japan :( It is good for him, but he was always here, so if I was here at night I was pretty much guaranteed to see him. He was sort a security blanket in that way to me. I also did my mini talk on Wed and it went fairly well. I even got quite a few questions so I guess the audience was paying attention yay! Tonight I'm taking Eman to dinner to his favorite place in town, is there a chocolate truffle souffl'ee in my future? Yum!

I guess this past year I wanted to be sort of balanced in my blogging, but I think I may have blogged more when I felt negative then positive. Maybe when I'm down, I need to get it out of my system to just feel better. But, when I'm feeling really fantastic I tend to put off blogging to go do something else. I also originally thought I would blog more about work stuff (which I do, to complain...) but not really about research stuff. I guess it is because I am afraid to be found out. I wouldn't want to dissappoint any of the faculty here, or my PI or say anything that might jepordize our department, university, or my work or chances of finding a job after school. Yet in blogging about my personal life, anyone who knows me could figure out it is me too. So I guess I'm struggling with whether I should include more about my work and writing about why I do what I do. Being so general about everything is sort of blah, but if I get too specific am I putting a big target on my back? I do work with animals and have dealt active activists in the past, and not just in we'll petition or march around sort of way. Any advice out there?
