So it's Saturday night; Thanksgiving has come and gone. It was our first "married" Thanksgiving, although whenever people talk about their "First Married [insert holiday here]", I always picture something horribly cheesy, like matching holiday outfits and commemorative figurines. Our "first married Thanksgiving" was pretty much the same as our last, unmarried Thanksgiving, except I got to wake up

I'm about to go program my new cell phone while watching Gilmore Girls on DVD, then make some lunch. There's a happy cat sleeping on the floor next to my desk chair. I like days like this. I've started getting into the "groove" of things. First off, let me just say that I am a big fan of this whole "married" thing. Definitely a big fan. It's funny, sometimes it all feels so surreal. Like we

Well, I’m back. No, really, back from a lot of things. Back to the blogging world (I hope), back to Florida from Puerto Rico, back from the craziness of planning a wedding, back to life as I knew it before, only a little different. This time I’m a “Mrs” and I get to live with my best friend, in an apartment by the beach with two awesome kitties. The wedding was amazing, in every way that it

I'm going back to blogging. Very, very soon. I miss you, oh blogosphere!

So Friday night, Caleb and I went to Lake City to see Band Marino, Hospitals on the Moon, Arrowhead, and Kid Kazzam. They were all great, and I really enjoyed seeing everybody and just hearing some good music. We left around 11, since Caleb had to be in Jax early the next day. It's about a two-hour drive from LC to St. Aug, so it was about 1:00 when we were almost at our exit. I was sleeping,

I'm spending this weekend holed up in my room working on my type book, which will be quite the task. However, I do have another great video (thanks to Veer) you to enjoy:Also, I now have a day-of wedding coordinator (who I'm bartering design services for) and I just ordered my dress from NetBride (for a whole heckuva lot less than the retail value). Hooray for saving money!

It's finally getting warmer! The weather has been dreadfully cold (well, for Florida at least) for the last week, and today it's actually warmed up to 73. Thank goodness. I just made a quick foray to Target to get some blank cds, and I was able to check out the new Proena Schouler line (which isn't actually supposed to be out until Feb. 4th). The clothes are incredibly cute, and I already saw a

Today was my first yoga class of the semester. I didn't think we were actually going to do yoga (since it was the first class), but we did. Half of us in jeans, half in typical yoga attire. It was fun, and while breathing deeply is a bit harder when you're wearing jean, I managed to be pretty relaxed. I'm really looking forward to lengthening and stretching and centering and all that other

Christmas is over, New Year's is past...and they were pretty darn good ones, I have to say. I travelled a lot for the holidays: Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York City, even Princeton (briefly). I loved spending time with my family and trying on wedding dresses with my best friend, but I have to admit that my favorite part was hanging out in NYC for two days with my brother and my aunt. She works

Well, I've actually been posting a bit over the past month, believe it or not. Only I was using the "Dashboard Blogger" widget. Which, for some strange reason, was...not working. Yeah. So none of my three entries were posted--they were just shot out into the vast universe of the internet, ones and zeros that mean nothing. So sad. So, let me start again. The most important thing: I'm getting

Phew. So I'm defintely feeling a bit burnt out. This drawing class is taking about a zillion hours of my time. I really didn't think it would be so intense, but it makes me glad that I didn't do the internship with SJCC. I have no idea how I would have found the time for it. Plus, I'm really excited to do an internship at a real design company. Hopefully I can get one either next summer or next

iTunes 7.0 is slick and shiny and beautiful and it makes me feel all happy inside. Go get it.In other news, I think I'm getting the first cold of the season. Joy of joys. I've also spent a total of 20 hours drawng various self-portraits. Charcoal is becoming a permanent makeup on my face.

So I definitely just rode around in the Intracoastal Waterway in a tiny boat with six other people. It was basiclly the best thing ever. Here's the story: I'm getting ready for bed when I hear a soft knock on my door (the one that leads to the kitchen). I answered it, a little wierded out, but it was only Jessamyn. She was looking for a flashlight and was afraid she'd scared me becuase she was

School started, and I now have a giant time-sucker of a Drawing II class. Three hours of homework a night. Yeah. So I'm pretty much going to be a hermit this semester. I still have plans to get a new host (the reason that my website isn't working) and do a new website, but it's kind of on the back burner for now. A lot is going on, a lot of craziness, but I know things will settle soon and I'll

Just a post to say that I'm still here (well, actually, just back from vacation in New Jersey) and doin' well. My website expired and right now I'm trying to figure out what kind of hosting I want to get, plus I'd like to get a new site up in the next month or so (well, we'll see--you know how that goes!). Hopefully you're all doing wonderfully yourselves, even though summer is about to be over.

A fun wedding. New friends. Late Nights. Swimming with (almost) family. Work. Painting. Dancing. Nacho Libre. Handsome boys in suits. Bocca de Beppo's. More dancing. Rain, and sun. Beach.How about you?

So my birthday was pretty darn great. Caleb suprised me with lunch at Gypsy Cab Company (they have the most incredible chicken ever!), since I've been wanting to eat there since, well, forever. Then he gave me a book I really like a lot, and took me shopping at Anthropologie. My boyfriend is the best ever. To top it off, we went swimming and watched "The Jerk" with Steve Martin, and I got a free

Recently I've stumbled on a whole crop of new design blogs that I am utterly in love with. There are too many to list, but most of them are ladies a few years older than me, in cities bigger than St. Augustine, and they post oodles (yes, oodles) of photos and links of design trends. Frankly, it's quite inspiring. Overwhelming, even. And.It really makes me rethink a lot of my design goals, becuase
