Music Monday! She Blinded Me With Science

I heard this on the radio the other day, and it made me want to bring back Music Mondays. I love when old songs pop up, songs from the great days of this new channel - MTV! That day, this song made me think of my son, the "science-y" one. (a term coined by my artfully creative daughter, the Art major, who was explaining her difficulty in a required science class, Psychology 101 - "yeah, the science-y stuff I dont' get). He was explaining to me what he was wanting to study in graduate school - Molecular Biology and Bio Technology. Of course, he went in to more detail, all of which I listened to, probably looking like a lost child trying to keep up. I am fiercly proud of my son, who is about to graduate with a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology, for his brilliant mind and passion for "science-y stuff" (including cellular biolgy and DNA sequencing). I just can't wrap my head around most of it.

Music Monday! She Blinded Me With Science

Only one week into the kids' summer vacation, and I had to get up at 6:30am today.  Why?  ~Science~ Not psychology though.  My youngest was invited to a science camp at the local community college, AB Tech . They call it STEM Camp - Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Have I mentioned how smart my youngest is? Well, he is smart enough to be asked to attend (this was invitation only), and smart enough to want to go - on his summer vacation no less. Sparkling Blue Starfish Toekini's So this week, we will be up early, which is good for me since I seem to get more done when I am up that early. Got 2 sets of Toekini's made before anyone else got up - something that seldom happens during any school vacation and particularly summer vacation.  Speaking of summer, this new set of Toekini's is perfect for the beginning of summer. (Picture shows both ways to tie these soft and fun Toekini's.) Have a great Monday!
