I know some people that know some of these people.

And I'm pretty impressed.

technology

Today I sat next to a Muslim woman on the bus that was using her hijab (head covering) to hold her cell phone to her ear. I couldn't hear what she was saying because I had my ipod in my ears. People, for the most part, at least turn their cell phones on vibrate during class. Which is still distracting, by the way.

I'm a little fed up with the technology ridden culture.

Do you find it ironic that I am blogging about it?

haven't met you yet

I know that it defeats the words of the song, but I think I should have been dancing with him in this video. I mean, compare the outfit/shoes.

I thought maybe I was over Michael Buble but I take it back.

baby boy brayden

Remember this post?

Well, she did have a boy. But she had it on the 9th. I hope it didn't take her the entire time between my "In labor!" text and the name/sex/weight text.

Jody, you're due in a couple days, with twin girls. Good luck and congratulations!

Lisa, you already had yours. Hope you noticed. Remember to sleep when the baby sleeps.

internship comparison

My first day last year: Came home and started bawling.

My first day this year: Talked really fast about everything and I am already excited for Wednesday.

Also.

First two minutes- ran into the guy that saved me from dying during last year's internship. He now works at my internship place.

First 15 minutes- ran into a friend from Camp Manitoqua who now works for this place as well (in the Chicago branch, unfortunately... but still!)

transitioning back to school

Does watching Extreme Home Makeover count as doing my homework for SSA?

flower toms

The TOMS with the flower accessory (pieces of felt with a hole in the center that can be put on a button or taken off) are my design. There is also now a smaller button on the left shoe that will hold a smaller mirror image of the right shoe. I only have the two flowers now, but I planned some more shoe accessories during class today. During a break, of course... probably..... not.

I just needed to clarify because I'm not holding them in the picture.

birthday report

September 28, 2009 was a great day. Maybe, for the world, not as great as September 28,1983... but for me it was one of the best.

I've not blogged about it yet because I know I can't do it justice.

Everyone was so thoughtful. Calls, texts, emails (and I'm not even on facebook, so everyone had to remember on their own!) Visited Starbucks and my friends made a big deal. Making coffee almond bark with a roommate. People traveled on a week night and came to my party. All of my gifts were absorbed in thought even though I shouldn't have had any . TOMS shoes. A Birthday scroll. Birthday cards. Blanket for hammock talks outside even when it's cold. Donation to Royal Family Kids Camp in my name. Itunes. A letter written inside a book about the New Kids On The Block with money for peanut m & m's. Cheesecake. More TOMS, decorated by a true artist (I don't actually have those yet, I know they are coming). Birthday week surprises. People buying TOMS to decorate at my party and a TOMS shirt (all pictured above, minus Ally who expedited her shoes to get them on time and then got sick. Also there is another pair of TOMS shoes missing from the picture that were also purchased for the party. In other words, SEVEN kids in Africa have shoes now.)..... I wouldn't normally list everything like this because I didn't want or expect gifts but I wrote them out because it really meant a lot to me. I think people love me. I sure love them...

Also:

Amie, you know how your parents are your GPS? -Krista

Yes.- Amie (who always calls her parents when we need to get somewhere we aren't and don't know how).

Well, my parents bought me a GPS.-Krista

COOL!-Amie

They even drove it out here and treated me to a meal out.

I am beyond blessed.
