WatchMitt Romney should think before he speaks.
Romney: ‘I’m Not Concerned About the Very Poor’ →
Mitt just can’t stop sounding like a heartless rich guy. “I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there,” Romney said on CNN Wednesday Morning. “If it needs repair, I’ll fix it. I’m not concerned about the very rich, they’re doing just fine. I’m concerned about the very heart of America, the 90 percent, 95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling.” Host Soledad...

It might be old news, but I discovered this website yesterday and just about peed my pants. So many scores. So many oboe parts! I KNEW something like this had to exist.

an ode to the burger @ the cove.
Shane and I easily obsess over food and since the day we arrived in San Antonio, we’ve been head over heels in love with the food at The Cove. The Cove is a local joint, a place where everyone knows your name [not true, but we can recognize our favorite waitress]. In addition to being a restaurant/bar, The Cove also has a laundry mat, a car wash, a fire pit, and a playground for the kids....

old liars.
I waited on a pair of old ladies today and as I was passing by their table I heard one whisper loudly to other, “Just say it’s your birthday and they’ll give us a free dessert!” A moment later they called me over and one of the ladies explained that it was her birthday today and they had forgotten to tell me at the beginning of the meal [i.e. after I had already delivered...
A progressive dinner.
Progressive dinners are back! Apparently they were popular in the 1970s, but I came across this blog and was inspired by their Parisian dinner and wanted to give it a try.
We chose three homes within walking distance from one another so we wouldn’t have to deal with driving. Once course was served at each place and the people who weren’t hosting brought the alcohol [this way everyone...

This is Myrtle. We work together at The Current. She sheds a lot and always has her tongue sticking out. It’s quite endearing. I suspect that she secretly runs the office.

NOLA 2012.
We had an amazing time in New Orleans! A friend of Erin’s got us in touch with a lovely couple [Jonathan + Je t’aime] who let us stay in their apartment for the weekend. Their place was close to the city center which was really convenient. We all had a good time and I think everyone returned home happy and refreshed. Enjoy the photos!

What movie made you cry? →
The Fox and The Hound was one of the first movies that ever made me cry. I think it’s because I so badly wanted a happy ending, but it didn’t happen and that really upset me.

Paired Hexagons.
Triangles.
Morse Code.
Compass.
Embroidered Initials.
Note: I got my mom the morse code necklace for Christmas this year and became instantly jealous when I took a sneak peak of it while wrapping gifts. It’s so delicate and beautiful! The best part is that the gold beads...

goodbye and hello.
I’ve decided to quit my internship at The Alamo Colleges. While it was cool to work with the international programs department and my knowledge about study abroad definitely expanded, I know that I’ve learned as much as I am ever going to learn in that office. Also, I really disliked my cubicle. People aren’t meant to sit in spaces like that for hours. It’s time for a...
