now, all I need are some black rim glasses and I will have completely fulfilled the stereotype. I don't care, I love it like a puppy.


My 12 seconds of internet fame and glory



ladies and gents, I made it on design*sponge today!! it is one of my most favorite blogs and I've always wanted to be featured on it for doing something cool! Today was my day!

My superfun work friend Jill and I did a little eco-craft project to celebrate our inaugural Green Committee meeting at work today.

You have to admit, whether you are an Obama supporter or not, that it was pretty amazing how enthralled in the election everyone was, especially here. I was probably just been too young the last two elections to really take note, so it was cool to be a part of this one so close to home. 

We didn't have tickets to the rally (or a desire to stand on our feet for 7 hours with 70,000 anxious Obama supporters), but did walk through downtown after work and to the perimeter of the crowd at Grant Park. It was amazing all the crap people were slinging: buttons, tshirts, you name it. 

After a few hours of walking around (with my laptop on my back, no less) we opted out of downtown and back to the 'hood for a tall beer and some food, then home to comfy couches for the announcement.
