A Few Words
I might not remember the first time I officially met Doug- probably at the move-in barbecue at Rutherford 3 years ago, but I do remember the first time he began to actively change my life. It was the end of the fall semester of my 2nd year and I had gotten to know Doug and Linda throughout the semester at cookie nights and especially Sapelo. At the time I had been tossing around the idea of...

Because a trip for Heather Mann can never be just...
Well I had some interesting adventures the past two days that I would just like to share.
So I started my trip about 40 minutes late because taking my bike apart and the simple process of putting things in my car took longer than expected. This made me a little uneasy because I was going to hit not just the beginning of traffic at 4, but also the start of the crazy kind at 5. Off I went to...

Puppypuppypuppypuppy!
As I was sitting outside of Rutherford reading, a puppy puppy pranced by, as only puppies can prance. It may seem obvious to point out, but I love puppies. The thing about puppies is, not only do I love them because they are adorable and have big, round puppy tummies, but I also love them because they seem perpetually joyful. It is as if they have tapped into the universe and recognized the simple...
On Second Thought
Well I’ve mulled it over. Perhaps I was getting a little too carried away. I got very excited and went online and found places to buy tiles and other supplies, expensive but not out of the question. I even looked up on the Bulletin if there was any glass working classes that I could contact the professor and ask advice. But I started looking around my room and came to an important...
Arts and-
Well first I’m going to look up Hobby Lobby online. Hmmm tiles tiles tiles.
Oh. Oh no.
I have now ventured into the realm of… CRAFTS. Oh no. Projection of my future: I’m that crazy mom that makes her two teenage sons share a bedroom so she can have her own craft room. The entire room floor to ceiling is covered in macramé, little cutesy hearts, cut out flowers, and everything,...
Inspiration?
Out I pop out of bed (3:30 AM). I had an idea. When I was younger I had this delightful set of mosaic tiles that you put in place on this grid that could be dumped out and started all over again with. I freaking loved this thing. Freshmen year of college. I put magnetic tape on the back of those tiles you get in school and made mosaics out of them on the side of my wall (which was magnetic, cool...
Day 1
One of my very best friends, Jacob, and I were having a lovely coffee catch up today. This is one of my favorite things because it does not happen often that we get one on one time together, though I see him almost everyday. We have gotten to the point that we catch up for the first thirty minutes or so and then spend the rest of the time speculating on life, sharing our views on important issues...
