super cool old school....
Cool little site where you can type your name in and see when it was most popular in history:

Turns out my name was most popular in the 60's with a ranking of 767 and in the 20's with a ranking in the 300's... when was your name popular?
I didn't get tickets to go see Oprah when I am out there in October - sad... but its near impossible and its hard for me to keep hitting redial when I was at work!
My friend Erin sent me this link... and then it showed up in one of my design newsletters so I figured it was time for the blog.
Powerful and simple the message about helping and contributing to humanity should be repeated often, until everyone of us is taking some kind of action. Each one of the people who read this blog, who are able to connect to the internet can contribute in some way, no matter how small. And organizations like Kiva allow you to start small and give someone else a hand. Based on the message of this video I think its time we start giving the girls a hand.
Let this video be a wake up call to you, our inboxes are full everyday with powerful messages and videos similar to this one. Let this be the one that shakes you up and causes you to act.
Last night when Matt and I got in bed and shut the light off, after a long day of Fantasy Football drafting, he asked me to rub his hands - he likes me to do that because his hands get so stiff. So I asked for his hand and he gave it to me and these guys were on his fingers! I let out a scream because in the dark and without my glasses on it looked like Matt had glow in the dark slime running down his fingers!
I LOVE THEM! It no secret I love finger puppets and there the gift Matt gave me on Valentine's day! He is the best boyfriend...
I especially love the girl in the middle because she is holding a brain:)
This is the third time I Have started this post and something keeps going wrong an embedding my flickr page into the post. I frankly no longer have the patience for this.
Matt and I went up to Blue Hill to visit his grandparents in early August. The trip was great, I loved the area and his family and was sad to leave. The only bad part about the trip was I have somehow managed to lose or delete all of the images that Matt took while we were there! I am sorry Matt - I will make it up to you!
We started our first day communing with nature.
Then we went down to a little water area park type thing and spent some quiet time there. This is where Matt spent a good chunk of time chasing a butterfly to photograph it and now he has nothing to show for his efforts!
We went down to a wharf area that I particularly liked. There we saw this barn:
and this guy painting watercolors
and we stopped at this general store to get a Diet Coke because this was my first weekend without coffee (baby steps people).
His grandmother has lots of the pottery that Matt loves and I was able to snap some pictures while we were alone one
afternoon!
We had a wonderful breakfast with Matt's aunt Belinda and her daughter Mary the day we left, no pictures from that event, although I wish we had taken some! Belinda's house is just about perfect and the whole family was just great. I am already looking forward to our next trip!
