Nashville Trip!
For the past week, I’ve been in Nashville, attending a SANS information security training class. The class ran for a full seven days, from 9am until 7pm each day. We did get a lunch break and snacks in there, so it wasn’t inhumane or anything. 🙂 I don’t often travel alone, and I haven’t been away for this long before, but I think we all did pretty well with it. I sent photos to the kids of my planes, lunches, and selfies each morning. Brandon kept me up to date...
Read MoreNew Job!
As you might know, I haven’t exactly been loving my job.. I really want to stay with Red Hat, and I liked the work, but I felt like I was going to have to make a change. An opening turned up on the Information Security team a few weeks ago, and, although I wasn’t sure I’d qualify, I applied.

He pretty much insisted that Brandon come take a look at it, since it was out sitting on some sawhorses. 🙂 I spied a pretty amazing piece of artwork on the couch today–but it...
Read MoreSurgery Day
Not to share TMI, but today I had a minor surgery–a NovaSure endometrial ablation. You probably don’t want to Google that, since there may be some photos you’d rather not see! Suffice it to say, my “time of the month” had started to take up pretty much the whole month, and my Aunt Flo considered a month to be around 19 days. So, I was willing to try this procedure to see if I can get any relief. Here’s a selfie I sent to Brandon while waiting for the...
Read MoreBirthday Dinner
It’s my birthday, and Steve and Sue took us all out for dinner at Kanki, as has become our tradition. The kids were super happy to get paper umbrellas in their drinks, and were generally well-behaved, but kept us pretty busy nonetheless. Kendall really liked her soup this time. One of the other families at our table included one of our well-known helpers from the Lego Store, and Brandon had a good time chatting with him and getting the scoop on some Lego things from an...
