It is a dark and stormy night. It’s a mild mid-afternoon in Laramie and Carissa & I head to Safeway for our back-to-school grocery shopping. Our weekly trips are usually painfully slow and expensive, so it is a given that this one will be knee-buckling. I am dressed in my normal summer frump, while next…

Ok, half of the last week of summer is over. Classes start next week. You might need this: (The laundry box one is very cute too}
5: Books about families in struggle
I like reading books about hard times and families in struggle where the protagonist eventually makes it out and is a better person because of it. You know, the best kind of books. Here are some of my favorites. 01| Angela’s Ashes {Frank McCourt} An autobiography and one of my very favorite books in all…
Friday 21: Playlist
I realized this Sunday that I forgot to post a Friday 5 last week, so I think I owe you. At the beginning of the summer I made Jeff a birthday mixed cd of some of my favorite songs or songs that just made me happy. The whole album could probably be described as a…
Still here!
Carissa came to visit yesterday and I’ve been bustling around with my math class and thinking about graduate school. Sorry. Look at some of the cute souvenirs she got me. {Left: cute chicken notebook, handmade!; Right: Magnets} And she also picked up some graphic design magazines for me. This one had some neat ads. Here…

Flash Mob
My new life goal: To be part of a flash mob. Who wouldn’t? 1| Glee flash mob. Plus I love glee: 2| Single Ladies flash mob in London. (I could have done it while I was there!). FYI there are better quality videos at worse angles for this one. 3| The T-Mobile commercial. Sigh, taking…
Neat things: Doilie Mirror & Rap
01| This Doilie mirror from Paper n Stitch. (Visit her site for a tutorial) 02| This video. (Why are all Nintendo Mario things neat?) 03| K’naan’s World Cup video. I just found out that he did it and I’ve always admire him. He might be the only rapper that I like.
WID: Omaha Poetry Slam
What I’m doing: Today/yesterday I went the Omaha Health Arts Poetry slam to see my friend Ben Wenzl read his poetry. I am a HUGE Ben Wenzl fan. The show tonight was amazing! Also, the 2008 Poetry Slam Champion, Joaquín Zihuatanejo was there! He was in Omaha as a speaker for children and found out…
