"That was quick." "Yeah, everybody could shot."

Wow, is it Tuesday already?
Let's see what's been going on...

*Ken and I celebrated 3 years with Bone Fish, wine, and a diamond necklace!

Face-eating is a must.

*Teaching, teaching, teaching -- my kids have their midterm tomorrow so some of them are getting mighty spooked.

*Trying to nail down the "Big Question" for my thesis. I think I may take a turn towards fossilized and extant salamanders but nothing is for certain yet. I need to do a whole LOT more reading to get up to speed in the literature.

*I'm heading to the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology conference tomorrow. It's being held in Cleveland this year so I'll be heading up to Atlanta tonight to catch the flight tomorrow. And to see Aunt Peg!

*Saw Appaloosa and was pleasantly surprised. Wasn't sure what to expect with a western and Renee Zellweger (ugh, cannot stand her) but I thought it was pretty damn good.

*Went on a herpetology trip on Sunday which was ridiculously fun. Got to play in the dirt AND pick up slimy things! Double AWESOME!

Supa Sweet!

Anyway, waiting around for my office hours to finish, then I need to drop my labmate Paul at the airport and pick up some bloodworms for the salamanders (which are my new pets -- don't think I mentioned that).

After that I'm Atlanta-bound!

Nearly 3 Years Ago...

I met this kid.

Together, we became the unstoppable duo of Konnie, or Benneth, or Kennie, or Bonneth.
Whatever the celeb-name mash-up style, we rock.


On the 9th, we'll be celebrating three years. And although we have had our ups and downs, we are, right now, very much in love.

Funny enough, of our multiple anniversary gifts, we both gave each other stuffed animals/dieties.

Ken found Fievel Mousekewitz online and snagged him.
He is replacing the original that was ripped from my childhood far too soon.



And I crocheted my first stuffed being! A diety in fact!
For the nerd who's stolen my heart, I crafted an H.P. Lovecraft elder god, Cthulhu.

I'm glad to have found him, and from all accounts, the feeling is mutual.

*le sigh*

But I swear to God, if one more person asks me if we're gonna get married, I'm gonna scream.
