Miami

These are from May 2008. I had a 9 hour layover in Miami so I got on a bus and walked around the city and beach. These are some of the few pictures I was able to snap while I still had my camera. I know these are kind of old (and a lot are of palm trees) but I just wanted to give you guys a little taste of paradise as we say goodbye to summer...

(click on them if you want to see them bigger)








I love palm trees! These are my favorite two:

It's time to updated your blog when...

Your mom tells you, "You have some video of a funny looking guy on your blog" and you don't remember who that funny looking guy is.

You're taking a Gender History class which is rich in blog posting opportunities

Drama happened with Kanye West and even Obama had something to say about it (btw one PG-13 word on this clip):

You just changed your car insurance and are saving $36 a month and want to tell everyone!!!

Your sister Ashley got engaged!!

You have two nieces to post pictures of...
Please meet Norah:



And here is a more recent picture of Evelyn who you met a few months back:

You've seen a gazillion movies you want to tell people about, but Penelope is still my favorite.

You learned that if you say "What a handsome face" to a Swedish person it sounds just like Swedish for "Was it he that farted?" and they'll most likely laugh. (and that you got bored over the summer and learned other random Swedish phrases -for example I can tell you that to get to the American Embassy you have to go straight ahead and you'll see it on your left- something I'll never need to know)

You read a lot of good books: Two of which were The Hunger Games and Catching Fire (and the Hunger games upset me so be careful if you read it)

And if you're me, on a daily basis you say something absurd and funny to someone. Such as meeting someone named Miles and telling him "Aw cute!" because you think of your cousin's kid instead of consulting years of well practiced social skills.

And this morning I made a new record of getting ready for work/school (including a shower and partially blow drying my hair) all in 16 min... making wake up time, to work clock-in time in a total of 23 min. Yes.



btw Norah never got her formal introduction since she was born since I last posted. there are many a video of her on youtube, this one being the most recent (and pretty cute!):

and this one being the funniest:

and this one is one of my favorites because she stretches:

summer update

This is a good song:




I'm starting a new summer term and still working on campus. That's pretty much my life. My other sister Lindsey also had a baby! I'll have to put some pictures up of her little Norah Jean. I love being an aunt and can't wait to meet them. And my parents are coming to visit me next weekend :D

I did finally get the infamous American Heritage GE over with!!! Phew.

and on to the next one

I want to travel somewhere. What country would you recommend? I think after I graduate I'm going to live in Portugal for a year. (which of course depends on whether I have time to take a Portuguese class or two, and if I can get a job working in Europe when my degree will be for Latin America)

I donno... basically I want to explore another place but I don't have any money so it will be awhile before I get to travel again. :(
