Summer is flying by!

It's already time for our France trip! I can't believe it. This trip seemed like something in the distant future until like, yesterday.

For those of you who haven't been hanging on my every word for months, we're going to France for EGM's sister's wedding. She lives there and is marrying a French man. She made our lodging arrangements so I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but I'm pretty sure we're staying near here. Looks splendid to me! Also, I got this dress on sale (but still expensive to me) to wear at the wedding. They had it in petite and it actually fits which is rare so I'm happy.

I'm also pleased with myself because I feel like I left things in pretty good shape at work. I sent another draft of my paper to my advisors and another colleague. I also sent a draft of our symposium proposal to Academic Advisor, who is particularly good at seeing the big picture to make things sound sexy and he makes good general comments on early drafts of text. We let the Society people we're working with know where we are in the process and told them we're pausing work for the next week (Cauliflower will be traveling as well, although probably with better Internet access than I'll have). I feel like I accomplished a lot this week.

I think I'll write a post sometime soon about the symposium stuff. I've had a few observations I'd like to share and a few people seemed interested in the process.
