I thought both my webmonkey articles were postponed til january. I got an email today saying, “hey woman, where’s our damn article” and I chuckled, “silly goose, it’s not due til january, you postponed me.” But then I went and looked at the postponing email, which was sent to me on the final due date…

Yesterday after my final I moved and arranged my studio all day. Today I made muffins, fixed some things on phyllis’s website, studied for monday’s final, cleaned the house, and hung christmas lights all over the house. I don’t know how to sit still. Oona is coming over for some movies, popcorn and mac n…

I can’t believe I’m even going to talk about this. Maybe I’ll delete this post in the morning after I’ve sobered up. Let me just explain where I’m coming from before I go on to embarass myself . I’m 35. I’m in a very wonderful relationship with a very fun man. I’m a freelancer, I…

I got a call from “the supervisor” today. I think she thought she was calling to scold me but I told her what was going on with my project. I got many appologies and “I didn’t know that was going on”. I told her, hey, I’m scrambling as fast as I can but I don’t…

I was moving this painting today: I was rushed because someone wanted me to move my car out of the driveway at my studio. So I just bungied my painting to the top of my car. It seemed secure enough. Normally I would tie them down but I didn’t want to scratch the painting (hah)…

Yes, it’s official, I will be moving out of Oakdale Studios into Yosemite Studios off 3rd and Yosemite. I will be sharing a very large and wonderful space with a metal sculptor and an acrylic painter. I’m so giddy. I have to control myself because I have so much to do this week and can’t…

Hi Santa, things have changed in the last 24 hours. I am moving into a new studio space so I’d like to modify my Christmas list if that’s ok with you. I’d like some things to help furnish the new space. – Electric tea kettle so I can make coffee, tea, and ramen; the staples…

Dear Santa, You know I’ve tried to be a good girl this year. I’ve been getting straight A’s in school even while juggling school and a couple of difficult projects. I’m one semester away from finally getting my AA and promise to not give up until I have my BFA. I’ve been really nice to…

Since I’m chained to my computer most of the time, I don’t have all that much time for horsing around. My favorite mid-day escape is to surf my favorite blogs for a few minutes each day. Lately they have been very boring and unfulfilling so I had to resort to finding some more dramatic and…
