Well, seeing as it’s December 31st, it seems like a good time to look back on this last year — something I’ll do again at the Chinese New Years, when the Year of the Rat (aka my year) ends.
2008 definitely hasn’t been terrible, but I can’t say it’s been the best year either. But [...]

So I’ve returned… with a suitcase full of clean clothes, a bag full of goodies, and apparently some sort of stomach bug or flu.
I definitely wasn’t doing well on Monday night — I completely emptied my stomach contents in a handful of hours and have no interest in eating at Steak-n-Shake for a while.  Anyway.  [...]

I’ll be back before New Years, with great updates from my Holidays with the family.
Travel safely, keep warm, and it’s never too late to get me something special.

Last night my roommates and I had our Christmas dinner.
Libby made some killer, fall-off-the-bones ribs… and Becca made some really good garlic mashed potatoes, and broccoli (seriously one of my favorite veggies — which I hated until I went to China… I don’t understand it either)… Jess made rolls and Abby helped her make the [...]

I feel that this might become a thing.

Basically, that’s the aftermath of blow drying my hair in the morning… it was actually larger, but lost some poof when I went to go get the camera.  Hard to tell that I actually got a haircut…
(Seriously though, this is one of my favorite things about getting ready [...]

So, I had a decently packed weekend.  I wasn’t booked solid, but it was indeed busy.  — so prepare yourself for a bit of a post…
Friday after work, as was mentioned, was the department party.
It’s always great to see drunk coworkers running amok through a mansion.  Or hyped up, sugar-crazy kids running through a mansion.  [...]

Well, nature definitely brought it.
I have no idea how much snow we got, but it’s enough to make walking a good workout.  It also makes me love my boots so much more and the fact that I got nearly-knee-high so the snow drifts are no issue for me.  Well, minus the awkward attempt to stumbling [...]

… yeah no. Nature is just toying with us. Making us think that today’s a nice winter day… when later tonight we’re going to be attacked by freezing rains and somewhere between 5-12 inches of more snow.
So, how do I plan on biting my thumb at nature tonight?
Well, first… Dani and I are [...]

Don’t prep yourself for a horror story, I look damn cute (as always).
So yesterday, I had a 5:30p appointment at the cosmetology academy here in town…  My normal hair stylist said it’d probably be the best place to do color.  (I tend to go to a cheap walk-in place, which happens to have fabulous stylist [...]

So I’ve been building my new site (erinichristine.com)… doing everything from creating that site (almost from scratch — I had previously completed the general design a while ago) and then also installing wordpress as to locate this blog there…
It’s been pretty easy for the most part.  I’ve been reading HTML code since 7th grade (so [...]
