bad blogger

I admit, I have been a bad blogger. And knitter. I haven't blogged about Maryland Sheep and Wool from last weekend yet. I do have an excuse but it might be a bit disapointing for my 4 readers. I am going away. Far, far, away.

Here to be exact. For a month. Luckily it will be to do some really good research on fishes. I didn't get my permits yet so I won't be able to do my cool genetic project this trip but will still be spending lots of good quality time with fishes, in 113 degree heat, in a gas field, while staying with all the scorpions in my advisors' guest house. Woo hoo! Anyways, I leave early Sunday. My prepping for the trip has been the source of my non-blogging behavior. I hope to knit another baby blanket while I am gone, finish 2 manuscripts, submit an abstract for a conference, and submit another manuscript. Hopefully some hiking and adventures too!

I will blog last weekends fun before I go but things will be even more sporatic around here till mid-June...
