Hello there!  Yes, I know it has been many months since my last post.  Fear not, everything is going wonderfully in my life and I have not disappeared completely.  However, I am trying to finish my dissertation and, when I’m not doing that, I’d much rather be spending time with my husband, making books, writing in my journal, or riding my bicycle.

So…consider this a “brief” blogging intermission from which I will eventually return, probably to rethink this website and shake things up a bit.  Until then, I will be wrapping up my Ph.D. adventure… be prepared to call me Dr. Beetlelady when I return.

I’ve taken a bit of a long absence from blogging. Fear not, I am still alive, healthy, and happy. I’ve been living in Dissertationland these days and when I am not busy with that, I am making books, or journaling, or trying not to fall off my bicycle in the snow.

Speaking of snow, Michigan decided to give me a chilly send off and we have been having some pretty amazing and cold weather out here.

I am FINALLY returning to California in less than 3 weeks! Krishna and I are pretty darn excited that we will get to live together like a normal married couple again. Yippeee!

…on the days after Thanksgiving is

camping near a frozen waterfall….

with this as your view. Can you find our tent in this picture? (Hint: It is yellow)
Now ask me what I am thankful for. I bet you already know my answer…

Beetlelady Books has a new website and a whole new look is thanks to the talented design work of Rakel at Ingero.

*Throws confetti and jumps up and down*

Yipeee!!!

Don’t tell the other Xylosandrus species, but I think you are my favorite. I mean, look at you! What is there not to love about you? You know you are the only Xylosandrus species for which I have written a little song to sing while happily working away at my microscope. If that doesn’t speak of my devotion, I don’t know what will.

xoxo,
