One Year ago today my baby sister had her ICD put in. Feels kind of like yesterday. I remember it well. I also remember the tremendous response from the community, Hearts For Hannah, and our secret christmas tree. Never before had I felt the presence of other's thoughts and prayers like i did that day. I wish I was at home to be with my family on this day... but my gift to her will have to wait. At least i am not in a hospital watching the status of her surgery on a screen and instead counting the blessing that is my sister.

Not Coming Back

I'm just going to go home for a bit. Step back, figure it out. Doesn't mean I will be gone forever, just next semester. No worries.
its for the best.

Comeback?

Oh Boston. Why do you toy with me? I thought it was all over. I stopped checking the score obsessively in class once i saw we were down by seven. It's so the Red Sox to come back and just blow us away. love it. psh. you think we would go down without a fight? At Fenway?!
It's going to hurt much more if it ends next game. I don't know if i will be able to let it go as easily.

mmmm Youk, you know.. running in the wining run. cause thats how we do.

New Curse?

*sigh* We are down two games. And badly. Last night I was told I sounded like a man because of all of the obscenities coming out of my mouth at a look at the score. But that is so like the Red Sox. They like to do this to us. So I was thinking positive thoughts about tomorrow's game at Fenway until I saw this: Citgo Fire.
This isnt good. No, not at all. Wear your unwashed sox shirts and whatever you do for some good ju ju!!! Cause I know I am...









I might even wear my hat to bed.....

Picture Series

My Favorite Business

Bruce's Burritos.
The only place at home where i can order and not have to say a word. Mostly because I am predictable but also because the owner Erin knows my name and everyone else that comes in.
Look at their website here.

Oh.. and I always get chicken tacos ... no salsa.

Favorite Book(s)

I read constantly... So I could never choose just one book that is my favorite. Can I ever?? But seriously, give me $100 and I will probably spend it on books. So my favorites are as follows...

Jane Eyre~ I read this in high school in a classic novel class. and i was so surprised by how much i liked this book.






The Secret Life of Bees~ Loved it. Probably my favorite novel. Can't wait til the movie comes out because it looks like a really good cast. Sue Monk Kidd is a great writer and I love her other books as well. She reminds me alot of Barbara Kingsolver, another one of my favorite authors.









The Fountainhead~ Very interesting philosophy on art and architechture. It was one of those books i had to force myself to keep reading through but after I was done I was really glad I had read it and actually enjoyed. This summer I tried reading Atlas Shrugged but it is kinda hard to read while you are also trying to make sure the 2 girls you are watching don't eat too much candy and wear their helmets.






The Learners~ Definitely my favorite designed book. Love this book. I was so excited when i found out Chip Kidd was coming out with a new book because i loved The Cheese Monkeys as well. I mean.. its not the best read ever. But it is one of my favorite books. It is the only one that i have at school with me out of these... Sometimes I wish Chip Kidd wouldnt promote himself so much but alas tis who he is. As a design student I find what he has to say about form and content and the process hilarious and intriguing.
