Finally!

Hello everyone, I know graduation for my class of '08 is way past gone. However, I have finally received all of my graduation pictures so...with out further ado here they are.

But I would like to take a moment to say thank you to Brenna, who bent over backwards to give all of us the best graduation ever! Brenna is the reason behind the great barbecue, slide show that puts my little blog slide to shame, and the reason we even took these senior pictures. I know that you were really stressed out at the time Bundy but everything turned out great! I hope it was worth it to you in the end because it sure was to all of us!

I found a cool site that lets you mix and match things. It is called Polyvore. Its pretty fun, here is a collage I created on it. It tells you on the site what all the outfits/accessories are and how to find them.

Today I am craving....

A New York City strawberry tart! In New York there are bakeries everywhere you go. At night when my friends and I were settling down after an eventful day we would stop in one close to our hotel and we would try something new every night. All of their sweets were to die for, however the reason I am craving a strawberry tart today is: I went to a bakery with my mom the other day and I saw a row of strawberry tarts and when I took a bite it just wasn't the same...:(

Spotlights!

I know I have been poor at doing my weekly spotlights...maybe I'll change it to "monthly spotlights", or "whenever the hell I feel like it spotlights." But nevertheless here it is! I have two this week, I couldn't choose one over the other.

Spotlight Número Uno:



Ever feel that to be environmentally safe you have to sacrifice your dominant arm? I picked up a book that if you are a girl is actually pretty useful, if you are however,a boy, about half of the book would be useful...stereotypically speaking... Don't let my opinion offend you. It tells you tons of minor changes you can make in your life that will help you to become more environmentally savvy. Not only does it help you do more for the environment it helps you become more healthy. There is a great section on meditation, and great workout tips. I haven't read all of the book, but so far I have been pretty impressed with it.

Best For Last:



I actually give this four stars! **** Being a freshman in college now, I am taking a writing class and need desperate help with my grammar. That is how I stumbled across this. Here are the reasons why I am spotlighting Grammar Girl:

A. It is Free (Go to iTunes and search grammar girl)
B. She makes a tedious subject fun to listen to.
C. The longest lecture is seven minutes; it is short, witty, and too the point.
D. Its very convenient, you can plug it into your Ipod and listen to it while you work, and whatever else.
E. You learn a lot from it.

Random thought...

Its funny how sometimes no matter how hard you plan things they always turn out different. And more often than not, it isn't bad...it is just different. I am reminded of an old dutch saying which roughly translated means: "Don't fret it will happen differently anyhow."

I think its important that we remain open, ready to work with the changes, because if you are grounded you can never move from that spot, it is harder to grow, and too learn some of life's most valuable experiences. Sometimes I feel that I need to act more like water, when water is trapped it finds a new path.

I had another random thought while thinking of life and plans... let's face it many of us fret over our "life plans." I think that it is important to keep this in mind when dealing with important plans...Plan to be surprised.
