25. It only recently come to my attention that I am not necessarily a good older sister. (well, by two minutes.) This is due to the fact that I spent a large part of my youth controlling my twin sister, Heather. I would torture her to wake up (she likes to sleep in, still does). Would push us to play Barbies, and when we would, well, after we dressed each Barbie for whatever glamorous and

I received an e-mail of this blog post, and I find it terribly fitting:"In these times of economic crisis, it seems only rational that we should look back at our history to review what works if we want to create jobs and secure a strong economic legacy for future generations. When faced with a collapsing economy, President Franklin Roosevelt tried to put Americans in all lines of work back on

So. On October 3, 2006 I entered into a debt management program. As a soon-to-be graduate, my credit card debt was mounting, and I needed to get it under control (especially with those ginormous loan bills-a-looming--a completely different story). I was at about $5,000 from roughly 6 or 7 different creditors. Some of these cards went to pay mechanic bills, and some, I'm ashamed to say, bought

never have i looked back and felt like i was gloriously emo. i usually look back on it in mild disgust. i do have a nice tattoo from the phase, however.in the past few weeks i've re-hashed my love for sappy, albeit fantastic, emo music. one could argue whether these bands are emo or not. i think you can classify them as such.sad thing is i can't get a hold of this music anymore. two albums i

i've been diligently working on dr. pennink's bio, but was still party shuffling on my ipod and came across this delicately beautiful song by the Sugarplum Fairies. i quite like it and think you should check it out. the lyrics are simple, yet describe adequately the complexity of love:love is a flaw In the logic of war your typewriter's God but he's in self-repair mode and you're not smart at all

We have the FACTS and we’re voting YES to Festival Park.1. In August of 2007 the City Council unanimously approved giving the parcel of land to the Museum in Festival Park when it realized that the Museum could absorb costs of building Festival Park by including parking, shelter, and sculpture gardens. These items were originally intended to take up space in the Park.2. At that same

as tom cruise once said, i have lost my ability to bullshit-- the sweet, nice, loves-everyone-all-the time-super-eager-to-please erica has disappeared. she has been replaced by a tired, world-weary, so-this-is-what-life-is-like-after-college one.and she's okay with that. some days, however, i am downright miserable. i eat my lunch in the office almost everyday, rarely take a lunch break to

So. Work has gone by at an exceptionally slow rate today. Highlights of the day include: a nutella, peanut butter, and banana sandwich, oatmeal cookies courtesy of intern Meghan, and discovering that despite our Web Banking idiosyncrasies, our accounts are still fairly accurate.I do like my job.
