So bascially that was a long time ago.
Since then, I've been working non-stop at Coldstone. Come get some ice cream if you haven't already.
My birthday is in two days.
I left the water running in the sink and my bathroom flooded this morning.
Only one of the toilets in our house works.
I'm going to finish two books thats I've barely started by next week. For Macalester. So I can decide on a topic.

Jumbotron Kathleen
Old Ben Franklin
The Devon Window. He fit perfectly in that window, it was too creepy.
No explaination required.
Typical Molly/B Stew moment
I would call it an "O" face but its more of an ellipse.
Okay.
Sunlight + Sculpture = Good picture
"Schwann's Retro Dance Party". The weird thing was, all these kids and all these shirley temples and all this grinding and all this music and an oxygen bar and some food...and they stuck it all in the...Constitution Center?? Seem out of place to anyone else?
For comparison, here is the million-dollar Constitution Center minus the dance party:
Conversation with our founding fathers.
Another Constitution signer.
If that's what you get for signing the Constitution, give me a pen!
The Awkward Picture.
This would have been cooler if the ambulance wouldn't have turned the corner.
Very Kelly.

That's a blank for the picture of the NPR people because they don't even deserve a picture they were so boring.
Grace Bo Bace
B2, Grace, Kate, Kathleen
Molly, Kelly and I drinking from our cups.
The team
And the cool thing about this picture is if you soom in on the guy in the white shirt way in the background he is blatantly picking his nose.
That was long.
If you made it here you're either stalking me or some creepy cousin I never met.
