The American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting is in New Orleans, Louisiana this December. This is a change because typically it is in San Francisco, California. The Moscone Center (the conference complex that holds the 25,000 scientists for the meeting) is under construction, so AGU had to find somewhere else.
This December we are in NOLA, and next year we are in Washington, DC. AGU has had meetings in NOLA before, but after so many years at the Moscone Center in San Fran, it will be interesting to see how, and if, the conference has a different feeling in NOLA.
What is good about all the destinations for AGU is that I have been to all of them in a non-conference capability, albeit had been 5 years between my first time in San Fran to my first Fall Meeting in San Fran. I went to NOLA for Easter 2016, so I am familiar with the area. Washington, DC has been my home for the past 5 years at this point, so it's safe to say I know where I am going.
Enough about the past and future meetings, this is about gearing up for #AGU17. Abstracts were due on August 2nd, I got mine in before then, but there is a lot of work to get done before December.
My topic is generally the topic I have been focused on since early last year, see Post #3 and others scattered. More FTE analysis and more cold ion analysis. I can't share too much on this topic, but I will post a more comprehensive post on AGU after it happens.

Post #18: 100 Days of Lipstick
100 days, 100 lipsticks, 1 woman.
Back in April (April 7), I was a
little over a month removed from my ‘#28shades’ challenge I did with one of my
friends. The month of February was so fun; in forcing myself into a different
color of lipstick each day, I was able to push myself. A late night of Instagram
browsing had me stumbling onto my newest challenge. So when I decided to do
the ‘#100daysoflipstick’ I, myself, thought I was crazy. I didn’t want to
believe that I had that many lipsticks. A quick count one evening revealed that
I had at least 107 lipsticks (bullets and liquids and stains, oh my!). I added
at least 15 to my collection since starting the challenge.
It isn’t just the catalogue of my lipsticks that I am getting out of this adventure. I am using Instagram to promote my self-love. I don’t spend hours taking the perfect selfie, at most I take 3 or 4 before posting one. Typically, I post the first one I take (my only criteria is that the lighting shows off the lipstick). The practice of not taking hundreds of pictures has built my confidence. I know how I look and I love myself, I am not afraid to share the photo if it isn’t perfect, because I am not perfect! I have bags under my eyes, I have chubby cheeks, I have acne, but I also have confidence and joy. I am happy to share with the world my love of lipsticks. See my YouTube video to see all the colors (link at the end).
As of August 2, I have 173 lipsticks. Which might seem extreme, sorry, not sorry. As of August 6, I have 136. I decluttered 39 lipsticks either because they were colors I would never wear (oranges and pale pinks), or the formula was not good (patchy).

Be sure to check out my video that is the slide show off all these selfies from Instagram: LINK HERE.
So my next step is to start using up some of the lipsticks I have. I considered doing just one color until it was gone, but a very smart friend said I would probably get bored, and she is right. So I am thinking of picking 7 and rotating through them.
Until my next post, thanks for reading.
