    There are two reasons I have started posting more pictures on my blog: 1. When I am in a hurry I glance down through my google reader blogroll and read the blogs with interesting pictures. 2.

    I read This Article yesterday on MSN (of course) about people who accidentally fell into a career that they loved. It totally reminds me of me. I am in love with my temporary job of helping my Dad teach in the school I grew up in before the next term of college starts. It’s like,…

    Here I am, trying to be culturally relevant by posting about Lady Gaga. Uh huh. I’ll tell you why: she arrived at the Grammys in an egg. (Image from google images. Yes I blacked out the whole picture, because honestly, I’m not sure it’s worth looking at at all.) Yes, that is her, inside a…

    I had emotions. And feelings. Lots and lots of them. Sometimes I thought I would like to wear black all the time and hang with the emo crowd. But I didn’t, of course, because that would be silly and there was no emo crowd to hang out with. I was thirteen. I was in Kenya.…

    Mom wore this to Church  today. I thought it was so pretty. I was very envious of her skirt but when I asked her where she got it she said, “didn’t you give it to me for Christmas?” “No, I did not.” I’m probably too selfish to  give up a skirt that beautiful anyway. “Oh.…

    Fashion bloggers always upload pictures of themselves wearing whatever they wore that day. Then they talk about it. You know, what inspired it, where they got the clothes, how much the clothes cost, etc . This is what I wore to work today. Aka, to help my dad teach school. Aka, to answer flags and…

    I was traveling with my family. We were in the Nairobi airport. Our plane was about to leave. It was taxing along, and we had to run to catch it. Alongside us came one of those luggage carts. The people had to throw our luggage into the plane as they both drove along. But we…

    Hello everyone. I am at SMBI. It is snowy here. That is why the world looks so white. There is a snow shovel on the front porch. Or maybe it is too small to be considered a porch. It’s more of a front stoop. I haven’t posted for a while because first I was flying…
