I’m not an artist
September 1, 2010
It’s kind of funny how when people hear that you like to paint they assume that: You’re good at it. You make money at it. You do it regularly. Your paintings are worth looking at. You actually want to show others your paintings. You have something to say, at all, and that it’s said through [...]
New sun rising
June 13, 2010
Since my last post, I’ve gone to Florida and back, and the rest has been moving, moving, moving. I know it seems like I just moved into my old duplex, but things fell into place in such a way that another move seemed like the best idea. The old place was big and beautiful but [...]
Florida can’t come soon enough
May 21, 2010
My bags are packed (including a new swimsuit, cartoonized above thanks to http://draw.to — draw something and share it with me!), my ticket’s ready, and I still have three days left of work (if you count tonight) before we head to Florida.

Yesterday I scoured the Internet [...]
Being a girl.
April 11, 2010
The following is a survey I just answered for a cousin who’s in college and asking all the women in our extensive family to help her out (Bold/italic text is hers, the rest is mine.): I am in an English class titled Women and Literature. We are writing papers on our families, specifically the women. [...]
It’s baklava, bub.
April 10, 2010
We made baklava this afternoon, and my poor baking partner was subject to me saying “buttah, bubba” every time we needed to spread butter on yet another layer of puff pastry dough. It was a pretty fun kitchen experiment, though, full of delicious smells, so I think it all worked out fine. Here’s the process, [...]
