I have always been self-confident, at least on the surface. I can do it, and I do. This is how I live.

April...so far so good (blog entry) So...I kind of dreaded April's arrival. It's going to be a *very* busy month. There's a lot of really *fun* stuff going on, but...it's also going to be very busy: the semester is winding down, and I'm slammed with stuff to do at work. I'm on a... read more

Why is it?... (blog entry) ...that so often it seems like I don't actually get started on my schoolwork until 10pm?

What the hell am I thinking, anyway?

Now it's late. I'm tired, and kind of depressed (but trying not to be.) I have one more lecture to give in my C... read more

First eggs of the harvest (blog entry) This morning, in the dim and dusky not-quite-dawn light I went out (as I do every morning) to give my chickens their morning snack. Sugar and Mabel were sitting to the right of the door, as usual, with Pika, Rupert, Ginger, Rosie, and Matilda on ... read more

I have chickens! (blog entry) Yes, indeed, it's true.

My silence for the last month or so has not been due to idleness -- quite the reverse!

After moving all my stuff up to Seattle three weeks ago, I've been a whirlwind of unpacking, yard work, scanning Craig's list fo... read more

I love my house! (blog entry) OK, I just had a *fabulous* weekend!

I drove up to Seattle Friday, and found out I couldn't get into my house. Ack! The keys didn't work. (Found out later they hadn't been cut correctly.) So I just mowed the lawn instead -- yay! It looks... read more

So...I kind of dreaded April's arrival. It's going to be a *very* busy month. There's a lot of really *fun* stuff going on, but...it's also going to be very busy: the semester is winding down, and I'm slammed with stuff to do at work. I'm on a hiring committee for a position that we're supposed to have filled before the end of the month. I have to fly to Texas two weeks before finals (and miss two days of classes -- ack!) for training on an instrument we bought in January. Peter and Tri... read more

Now it's late. I'm tired, and kind of depressed (but trying not to be.) I have one more lecture to give in my CHM105 class -- it's tomorrow -- and I know the dean of my division is going to be observing. So what do I do? I procrastinate for an hour. Nice going, Arwyn.

It's almost the end of the term, and I'm exhausted. There's been too many late nights... read more

This morning, in the dim and dusky not-quite-dawn light I went out (as I do every morning) to give my chickens their morning snack. Sugar and Mabel were sitting to the right of the door, as usual, with Pika, Rupert, Ginger, Rosie, and Matilda on the left. I said good morning, and left the snack, then went to refill their water.

As I replaced their water jug, I looked down, and in that dim and dusky light I saw an egg. I couldn't tell at first if it was one of the Easter eggs I had put... read more

My silence for the last month or so has not been due to idleness -- quite the reverse!

After moving all my stuff up to Seattle three weeks ago, I've been a whirlwind of unpacking, yard work, scanning Craig's list for likely furniture additions (and getting a bunch of free stuff -- woot!), and building a chicken house!

I took a class a week and a half ago called "City Chickens", that pretty much gave some fundamental information on keeping chickens on a city ... read more

OK, I just had a *fabulous* weekend!

I drove up to Seattle Friday, and found out I couldn't get into my house. Ack! The keys didn't work. (Found out later they hadn't been cut correctly.) So I just mowed the lawn instead -- yay! It looks so nice! But Saturday I helped Peter stuff his belongings into two cars and a truck, and then *he* got the house open. Even his keys didn't work very well, so we replaced the lock yesterday.

I'm so pleased! The house is great. Sure, it's not ... read more

My Testimonials

February 26, 2008
Arwyn is awesome. She is so incredibly talented; intelligent and wise, creative and artistic, yet grounded and realistic. She's a hard worker who is not afraid to go the distance to get what she believes. She knows what hard work is, and she knows what rewards wait for those who commit. Her artistic sensibilities stretch from the visual arts into movement and dance... she took to bellydance as a goddess to her throne! She was beautiful and creative before bellydance, and now it's amazing how she has become so powerful, yet still humble and unassuming.
Watching her dance, she is so confident in her body, in her movements. Her poised grace is never rushed, and takes its own time which is perfectly in synch with the world around her. In fact, the world stands still to wait for her to take her place.
As a friend, she is forever loyal, trustworthy, and takes her friendships seriously. A great friend to have, she is always there for you, regardless of what needs to be done. And fully supportive of whatever you decide to do! You know she will have your back no matter what. She'll the last one to get all prima-donna and upset about nothing - she will let you know if she has a problem with you, and will be wiling to sit down, discuss it calmly, until the problem is resolved. Calm and reserved, she reserves her opinion until she is sure of herself, then is not afraid to step up and let you know what she thinks!
I am so grateful that I can call her my friend... though distance has separated us for longer than we've lived in the same city, we've been friends since the 5th grade and I have no doubt our friendship will continue for life! Thanks for always being there, so supportive of everything and by my side through it all!

Arwyn, dance goddess, so regal on the stage...and off stage she's smart, funny, honest, and a good mommy too. What more could we ask for? Oh I know: she also has great taste in chocolates, home-brewed beer, $9 grape juice, and all the finer things in life. Glad I know her. Slad she's my friend.
