This morning proved an awesome day for the farmers market. I scooped up some green beans, baby bok choy, swiss chard (the pretty red kind), mushrooms, tomatoes, and golden beets. Its going to be a pretty good week for veggies. On the downside, the people at the Farmers Market (mainly the children) drive me bonkers!!!! Especially the mothers with the 2-wide strollers toting a toddler or two. Who needs that many children? Timed that close together! Especially when your not capable of handling them in public and not having them be trampled by other market goers walking at the powerful pace of 1 mile an hour. The children fray my nerves like nothing else. I think I'll start going in earlier in order to avoid these young-ones.
After much procrastination, around 3:00 I finally got my long run in for the week. It was 10 miles at 11:15 min/mile pace. Not super, but okay. I'm pretty wiped, both from a moving party yesterday (lots of heavy lifting), and a speedy 4 mile set on the treadmill at the SERF yesterday.
I'm watching the West Wing now waiting for John to get off work. These Saturday's tick by so slowly. Although its nice doing nothing, it would be much nicer doing neither if my boyfriend wasn't gone from 7:45 AM to 11 PM every Saturday. That being said, tomorrow is John's first day off in a while, and now that his class is done, we get to actually spend some quality time together. On the menu: Harry Potter in IMAX, some great food, and some awesome hang-out time.
I've decided what my dream job would be. I'm decided I need to work for Promega, an awesome biotech company with a home base in Madison. I would want to do research and development on lab assays and better techniques/development of better environmental microbiology kits for about half of my time. The other half would be spent doing outreach and education about the company, and explaining how to use products effectively. It would couple my love of science, with my love of science education and explain how science works to the masses. I could educate and get my science on at the same time. How amazing would that be??
