About Me

Hi. I'm Colleen. I'm a 27 year old Engineer.  I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, but I don't do much engineering at work anymore.  I graduated December 2005, but graduation wasn't until May.  I started working in March so I had to take a vacation day to travel up to my graduation.

 In August 2006, I got engaged.

In August 2007, I got married. (I donated my wedding dress to goodwill so someone else could afford a wedding dress.) In August 2008, we moved into our new house.

I scrapbook and make greeting cards. I'm a Stampin' Up Demonstrator on the side. I'm bad at this because I buy so much that I never make any money. But at least I still love it. I actually probably still love it because I do it for fun and not for all the income. It does take a lot of time to prepare for all my classes though.

I workout 5-6 days a week. I aim for 6 days but it does not always happen.

I had knee surgery on Friday the 13th (February 13, 2009). In April 2009, I ran for 5 minutes.  I ran a half-marathon in May of 2010. I hope to run a full marathon this year.  I have plantar fasciitis. I have extremely flat feet. I have exercise induced asthma. I don't let any of that stop me from working out and running.

I started taking my daily picture in May of 2005.  I was so young back then. I only discovered fashion blogs this summer and ever since then I have no life and read hundreds of blogs.
