Exploring different design styles

Wednesday, April 27th, 2005

At work we’re redoing our prospective student magazine, VIEW. I usually have a clean and distinct art style. I’m very boxy and precise when I design. But lately on the design horizon is a new “collage-type grungy with lots of shapes and bright colors” look. So I’ve been playing around with several different ideas. It’s [...]

Posterchild for burnout

Sunday, April 24th, 2005

I don’t have an excuse for not blogging. I’ve just been busy. Same old, same old going on. Eat, work, eat, play with Molly, eat, work again, work out, sleep. Same schedule every day. Talk about burnout. That’s me. I’m the posterchild for burnout.

Btw – the number one restaurant in the world is The Fat [...]

Just when all is well…

Wednesday, April 20th, 2005

I got sick. Monday morning I woke up sick at 6 am. I was in the bathroom every 10 minutes – just thought you all should know! But I dragged myself out of bed at 8 and went to work because I’ve been out with Molly sick a lot and I felt bad for missing [...]

Great weekend

Monday, April 18th, 2005

I didn’t have any freelance work to do this weekend so I just relaxed. It was just what the Dr. ordered. I hung out at Chrissey’s all Friday night – had yummy fajitas and cookies and we watched Oceans 12. Saturday, we attended our friend Josh’s 1 yr. birthday party. Then I took a nice [...]

A new look…A new take on life?

Thursday, April 14th, 2005

I chopped my hair off today and highlighted it. Wait, that’s misleading. I paid a whole lot of money to get this look and I love it. My hair will be much easier to fix in the mornings. Maybe I’ll be on time to work now?

Btw – thanks for everyone’s comments so far on my [...]

Maybe it is mid-life crisis?

Wednesday, April 13th, 2005

I’m super stressed, can’t find a balance between work, family and myself and I work too much (or I don’t work at all because I have too much work to think about). Sound familiar from other blog posts?

Well the truth is…I’m struggling right now. I’m not brave enough (or am too proud, which is bad) [...]

Bragging Rights

Sunday, April 10th, 2005

I’ve been in cleaning mode for 2 days now. We’re not talking about the usual cleaning for me. I mopped two bathrooms (I NEVER mop), cleaned toilets and sinks, did laundry, organized Molly’s drop off area, cleaned Molly’s room, and cleaned and organized (somewhat) my office desk area. I realize that people clean more than [...]

My conclusion on working mothers

Thursday, April 7th, 2005

I’ve come to the conclusion that full-time working mothers miss more work than anyone else. Working mothers hold two full-time positions – being mom (which includes but is not limited to – staying home when they are sick, taking sick kids to the doctor, being late to appointments and your job due to chasing them [...]

The best dinner ever

Sunday, April 3rd, 2005

Baskin Robbins was on the list for dinner tonight. I had a double-dip cone with Rocky Road and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Peter had a double-dip cone as well with Orange Sherbet and Peanut Butter Chocolate. Molly had bites of both. And that’s all folks.

A night of Medved and conservatism

Friday, April 1st, 2005

I was priveleged tonight to attend the 3rd-annual Associates dinner at Oklahoma Christian as a special guest. The featured speaker was Michael Medved, nationally syndicated radio talk show host and recent author of Right Turns. I really enjoyed listening to his speech. He spoke mainly about why he tunred from a liberal to a conservatist. [...]
