Do we really talk about that?

My dear Katie has been cleaning out her email. While doing so, she discovered all these old emails that she, Rachel and I passed back and forth for the past year. We worked together at American Kidney Fund up until recently, when I took my new job at GW. And since then, we've all downloaded MSN messenger where we can group chat daily, sharing very important discussions. Very.

The old emails were so hilarious (and, well, sad at times) that Katie emailed me a compilation of our shared topics, which I am reposting here. These topics really only span the past few months...

Things we Email
Dec. 2007: The life and times of twenty-something’s in the work place.

Topics bounce back and forth between serious and fluff, and about every fifth emails is an update on the scandalous life of Britney Spears. Love it.

And this isn’t even all of it.

One of my new year's resolutions is to give up Perez Hilton, which will drastically change the email topics, since, as Katie mentioned, several of them were Britney-inspired.... we'll definitely have to compile a 2008 recap as well-- for comparison and research purposes, of course.

(note: these photos were taken in the car on our way to a Kentucky Derby Party, hence the hats and flowered dresses...)
