No more bobby pins!

I was watching The Today Show last week and they talked about these little gems: Goody Spin Pins.



They twisted someone's hair into a bun, twisted in the spin pins, and BAM perfect messy awesome bun.

For someone who leaves a trail of bobby pins wherever she goes, it seemed like it would be worth a try.



The verdict? BUY THEM. THEY ARE CHEAP AND AMAZING. Soooo easy to use and secures your hair pretty well.

Bobby pins, are you gone forever?
Most likely not. But spin pins are great.

Engineering Paper rug

This rug is like an engineering paper/notebook paper hybrid! That you can spread out on your floor!

The price isn't included on the website, which more than likely means it costs far more than I can afford.

dreaming of some dreamcats

This is finals week. Eeek. I am ready to graduate and get myself a big girl job.

My graduation present to myself will be a sweet lil kitten. Gotta wait a few more weeks for that, but until then, dreamcats is keeping me occupied.

dreamcats - girls & cats, cats in soft focus, cats on film. So dreamy! Definitely a new favorite. Kingsley has even made a few appearances on the site.

Happy May Day

I'm celebrating with a vase full of flowers.

In the white room

For about the past... twelve years or so... I've really been into yellow rooms. That was a backlash from my mother who always forced me to have pink walls. Now I like white (or gray) rooms. They are so fresh and so clean (clean)!

This is my own white room... er... without some very white lighting. But it is white I promise.

Baby I know my calculus

They are so catchy and wonderful. (thanks, kate!)

Back in business!

Okay. I plan on trying my very hardest to keep updating on a regular basis. I MEAN IT I PROMISE.

I am rededicating my blog to the blogosphere.

I am going to be genuine and authentic. Finally getting serious about my relationship with my blog.

My friend Josh and I are blog-accountability-partners.

So just like your Jesus accountability partner makes sure you are reading your Bible, your blog accountability partner makes sure you are updating on a regular basis. You both grow together. Three strands of cord (you, accountability partner, the blogosphere) cannot be easily torn!

Josh has a great tech related blog and he even has his own domain name (http://www.joshmoles.com). Back two years ago, nobody had Twitter, Josh wrote a short tutorial, listing lots of ways Twitter could be a useful tool.

Back then only Ashton Kutcher and my engineering friends and I had a twitter, so I remember doing quite a bit of explaining. Who would've thought... two years later and everyone and their dog (literally) has one. Sort of cool. My dad even uses it for Tulsa Little League updates and rain-out announcements during the summer.

Makes me wonder what is going to happen with Google Wave. Or Google Buzz. Google Wave was sort of a letdown; I can see how it would be useful in a class or work context, if you have a file that needs constant revision. Google Buzz is convenient since I can integrate it with every other Google Application that I use (which is a lot). This is significant and convenient for me and my friends who are fans of anything Google related, but I definitely think there's a significant portion of people that don't really care to have all their Google Applications connected (er... because they don't have any).



Wave u l8r, Google Wave.
Nice 2 meet u, Google Buzz.

(still miss u, xanga)
