michigan looks like a giant slurpee

Does anyone else have the inability to save money? I struck up a conversation with one of the barista ladies working at Peet's this morning and she told me her 21 year old daughter managed to save ~ $20,000 already. Like, holy shit. She must have a pretty legit job to sock away that much money and an elephant's weight in discipline. As well as acquiring 20 G's worth of currency, her mom told me she has a good credit score too.

I'll admit I like stuff. Currently, I'm extra-super-thrilled because I just ordered a Kindle off amazon. I have Kindle compatibility on my phone, PC and Mac -- which is to say I've already stocked a mini digital library. Don't get me wrong, my love of actual books runs deep and I plan on having a massive library in my future home. In retrospect, I don't think kindergarten story time would be the same if operated on a digital medium. Concluding snack time, which consisted of PB&J's and apple juice, hoards of five year-olds gather 'round an almost powerpoint-like reading of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Different, yes. Cool? We'll see.

I found a personal blog I really like it's called sweet dreams, sweet cheeks. I think I have a lot in common with the author and she does include some journal-type content along with tons of pictures.

Enough distractions, time to work on naming organic compounds. Lucky me!
