ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Kim! I am a twenty-five year-old architectural intern. I graduated from Iowa State University in 2007 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture. I live in Round Lake, a suburb of Chicago, that in all reality, is very far away from Chicago. I work for the federal government in Chicago.
I married my boyfriend/fiancé of five years – Steven - in September of 2007 (Check out wedding photos here and here). I live with him (obviously) and our cat, Data!

Data (known aliases: Datalor, Poopface, Datos Potatoes, Sczuzzle Butt, Calla Face, Stink Turd, Sweetie Pie, Purr Machine, Sh!t Box)
Although I am a designer, this site covers more than just that which concerns design. I write about a variety of topics – some silly, some serious, and some work related, but all real.
After spending much of my time after high school going up and down in weight, I decided to start honestly chronicling my “healthy lifestyle quest” here in July 2008. I’ve become re-addicted to running and healthy food (most of time, of course) I hope, for good.
To get a better idea of who I am, please check out my 100 Things page.
I started this site in July 2005 as a means of keeping in touch with my family and friends. Happily, it has turned into much more than that, as it has introduced me to new friends from all over the world.
In October 2007, I made the switch from hand-coding my site to using wordpress. My old site archives can still be viewed under the Archive 07/2005-10/2007 link.

Loved the cat with a tie. He looks like a Sweetie Pie.
