My accounting and finance professors will be happy to know that I remember some of the things they taught me. I had a moment of shock during corporate training yesterday. I was able to answer a question about depreciation off…
constantly, consistently cold, the tips of my fingers shaking I retreat to the sun outside for an hour, just to revive quite sure that this is not the best way to work under a flourescence that does nothing to warm…
Answering questions is such a difficult thing sometimes. I have such an open face, you can read my soul in my eyes and smile most of the time. This is both good and bad. Sometimes we have to be just…
I found this article on CNN about the growing demand for amaranth and quinoa, as well as other alternatives to wheat. “One reason for the fledgling demand is a growing awareness of celiac disease, which is triggered by gluten, the…
Most relaxing night EVER. I didn’t get home until 9:30 pm but it was for a good reason. Sometimes you just have to take care of yourself, to take the time so that you’re a productive member of society again….
I wanted to say this morning felt like a Georgia spring morning when the heaviness in the air is the heat trying to start the day. I walked down Chicago city sidewalks covered in the spring green of seeds flying…
Tomorrow morning I will walk with the other students of the classes of ’05 & ’06 in the commencement ceremony of the College of Business. I graduated in December but we only have one ceremony per year. It is very…
It is amazing how much sunlight (or the lack thereof) can affect my mood. It has been gray, gray in Chicago (big surprise), and yesterday’s sudden sunlight made me goofy. Ok, well, I can be goofy with no assistance, but…you…
On one of the Baha’i web forums I am on, someone posted about Tabula Rasa, a new Baha’i arts magazine. I just read through the entire premiere issue, and it is professional, well-written, and informative. From the site: Tabula Rasa,…
UNITED NATIONS, 20 March 2006 (BWNS) — Representatives of the Baha’i International Community reacted with alarm today to a United Nations official’s statement about actions of the Iranian government against the Baha’is in Iran. The United Nations Special Rapporteur on…
Anna Quindlen’s Newsweek article, The Face In The Crowd, talks about the facelessness of today’s communication experience. She notes that, “A face-to-face meeting often means the difference between understanding and estrangement.” How often do we send an email or a…

I have a normal job. 8 am – 5 pm, Monday-Friday. Wow. Only 3 hours of sleep on Sunday night…extreme insomnia. In the morning on Monday we did basic form-filling-out & orientation, then had lunch with a bunch of 20-somethings…
(October 2005: Chicago, IL) This is what they meant when speaking in rhymes. No fan of riddles, am I. But in something they said in the way it was read spoke to me in symphony, the harmony did not join,…
Things can get repetitive in business…you hear the same terms, snazzy fads, and tired lingo over and over. In order to keep myself from going crazy while reading my finance, strategic orgs, and operations management texts, I decided to find…
Burnham Plaza Theatre 826 S. Wabash Street, Chicago, IL Status: Closed Screens: Multiplex (5 Screen) Architect: Robert C. Berlin The YMCA Hotel opened in 1915, located on Wabash Street in the South Loop, designed by architect Robert C. Berlin. Eleven…
I danced around helium balloons laughing as they brushed around me in circles, wind-carried. I felt the rain on a different day it went to my head… oh, last night you should have seen me. I need to get back…
I’m still working on reading Child of the Covenant, which is definitely one of my favorite books now. There is a chapter on the subject of teaching the Faith which I really enjoyed, and wanted to share some of the…
I took the red line today. This means I was on a train for 1 hour, most of which was underground. The train used to be my favorite form of public transportation. The hypnotic motion as it hurtled toward its…
We did service at the Chicago Baha’i Center today. It was a small group (remarkably smaller than the group that shows up at say….beach volleyball). But we ended up having a good time, ate food, and took care of the…
This article is about Internet connections being set up in rural areas to help connect remote villages to the rest of the world. I think that this is amazing. I know that the India is trying to get more technological…
A very, very old shoe! Part of the “fun” of growing up means that you can’t go outside when the weather is PERFECT. The most exposure I’ve had to the sun today is grabbing lunch to go across the street…
I don’t normally like to rhyme so much, but this poem just wanted to be written, I had no control over it. 😉 I see one taking up the burden and this one holding down the fort one reaching out…
Sometimes this is about me, and sometimes it is about things I see. Sometimes the things I see pertain to me. The 114 pounds of this slender frame can’t hold you all up indefinitely. The standards that were set have…
I feel a certain reticence in my speech right now. Last night Lindsey asked if I wanted gum…and I didn’t, because I didn’t have the energy to move my jaw. hmm. The beautiful sun and warmth of yesterday was replaced…
i don’t know what to blog about my muse fell off a cliff and bounced on the sharp rocks below (making cornbread from my own recipe and baking chocolate cupcakes. you know you’re jealous) Chance of flurries tonight. Whenever I…
Today I resorted to eating a frozen dinner. There were several reasons for this: a) laziness b) busy working on things and studying c) laziness Anyways, it was a Michelina’s Pepper Steak & Rice entree (although it really is more…
There are ways to make the food you love to eat, even if you have a gluten allergy. It isn’t very severe for me, as I can eat bread once in a while without problems. But I love being able…
This is an interesting edge I’m trembling on. There are corners to the universe here that I never realized existed. You (and I mean “You” in the multiple sense) and I (and by “I” I mean me) have an erratic…
