Happy Birthday ASHLEY!! You are my fashion icon, sour candy extraordinaire, holiday caller, cheer sister, MCAT studier, HOBO lover, eBay shopping partner & amazing friend.  Today though, you are simply fabulous, as you are now 21.  Remember this photo.  Remember I am always at your side. Love you.

Procrastination.  All about it. Just re-created my class schedule for Fall 2006.  Now that I am for sure going to be here for an entire year, I have more flexibility with my classes. The lineup: BUAD 350: Macroeconomic Analysis for Business Decisions MKT 445: New Product Development and Branding ANTH 263: Exploring Culture through Film…

Happy 21st my love.  The 9-0 and bars everywhere just became your legal playground.  Get excited.  I am.

Am all about the photo editing software right now.  Should be writing a paper about Masculinity.  Should be studying flashcards.  No. One of the coolest parts is finding that line.  That line that separates effective design from over-designed.  Always a challenge to get as close to the line as possible.  To accomplish what you wanted…

Trying something new.  Going to save some money with Bank of America’s Keep the Change program. When I spend $2.22 on my check card, $.78 gets transferred into my savings.  And BofA matches it.  So I actually save $1.56.  Interesting idea.  Obviously BofA is going to win somehow, but for now it seems promising for…

Rio Americano High School Fashion Show tonight. Theme was "Rio Rocks."  Robbie Rocked.  According to one of the girls, "Your brother has finally come out of his shell."  It is pretty exciting to have everyone see him the way the fam always has.  So excited to have the kid at USC.  It was bizarre to…

Made the drive up for a long weekend. Classes are officially over.  Spring 2006 was by far my best learning experience at USC.  Great teachers, great discussions, great projects.  On the agenda for Sacramento.  Enjoy sunshine. Get a new camera. See Ro in the Rio Fashion Show. Ruuuuuuuuun. Good times.
