i have one foot in the graphic design door. it's kind of exciting. aaron found that a favorite band of ours needed a promo paster for this big festival they put on that we are going to... basically, i volunteered/he volunteered me to do it... and i did. then, last night while driving to huntsville, al from bon aqua, tn for a pgroove show, i stressed out about not having bought tickets early.

the thing about art that nike could never understand, is that there is no "just do it." rutledge and i were involved in a 50 comment facebook thread about not feeling inspired to do art, but wanting to create something so bad, it hurt. one of the comments on the thread was from a friend of rut's who told us both, "well, just do it then!" it's not that easy. when i force myself to create, i

One of my precious students told me she's pregnant, I'm glad she did... If she hadn't, I wouldn't have been able to tell her how proud of her I was for not going through with the abortion.

i woke up around 545 this morning to the sounds of my friend nicole packing. she stopped to have dinner and spend the night last night on her way from ohio to gulf shores; a friend of ours is getting married. since mom and dad got home from their trip yesterday, i decided not to go to the wedding. also because i leave for camp a week from today. last night i was showing my parents my stairwell

"quick" stuff. went to plaza with mom the other day- needed some paint. needed to paint. i hadn't been able to paint at all this past semester, it was awful.

don't know that this is the best way to spread the news, but matt walters died after a head on collision with an 18 wheeler.  matt was a great friend, a hilarious and witty guy. probably would not have made it through my freshman year at HU without him. prayers and much love to the walters family.

i got to hear president george w bush speak tonight. it was beyond amazing. he was warm, charming, witty and poignant. appropriately self-depricating, insightful and a joy to listen to. he was thoughtful, humorous, and graciously did not say any unkind things about current and past presidents who have said unkind things about him.  a couple quotes from the night: "If you can make $.50 an hour

OH. MY. GOODNESS. it's much more exhausting than i had anticipated. i start teaching 4 classes next week, pick up 5 more the following week, and the week after, i teach all 14 elementary school art classes. for two weeks straight. i would be telling a fib if i said i wasn't ready to get to the high school, but i do enjoy the little ones. this semester needs to slow down. 2 weeks til spring break.

every year since i went to college i've volunteered to make something for thanksgiving dinner with the fam. this year: carrotcakecheesecake. it's half carrot cake. half cheese cake. what could be better? the fact that i made it from scratch. no boxed any thing here...

i love reading blogs. there's something about looking into someone else's life that just pulls me in. i have an igoogle account, which keeps track of and shows me new posts on the blogs which i hold subscriptions to. should you ever get bored with me and my little dotcom, here is a small selection from the lives i not-so-secretly delve into. what i wore today post secret (on sundays) the

i've been house sitting since wednesday, and these three sweet girls have kept me company. the little one on the pillow is mine & nash's dog claire. the big black one on the left is maddigan (maddie), and next to her is toula brown. they play hard, but when they get tired they are sweet, sweet girls. i've always had high arches. but while wearing this pair of sam & libby flats, it is evident

for the first time in a long time i curled my hair and did not pull it up. after the traumatic event during thanksgiving break '07, when i chopped 9 inches off my hair, i was unable to curl it and feel confidently cute. so, this past monday- i gave it a whirl... or a curl. i remembered how good it felt to be curly. i love my hair like this. it makes me happy. monday night was the owl city

of the eight years i have had this blog, 2003 is so far the one with the most posts: 154. only 102 more to go to beat it this year. i have definitely grown over these past eight years- not only in my writing style, but by reading my old posts, i can see myself maturing and becoming who i am.

i've had these shoes since my freshman year of college. and as i round second base of my second senior year, the evidence of their age is beginning to show. the whole in the bottom of the right shoe is about a pinky nail wide and a nickel long. and the gap between the side and the shoe on the left one is big enough to stick my thumb in long ways... i gotta say, that for a $15 pair of bc

HUT is made up of what is called the 'global village.' is it about 10 square miles of land, with roads/trails cut through to make up the huge village. there is a market on the main road, which has side roads that branch off to go to simulation places such as africa, rural china, latin america, among others. in

when my eyes landed on this ring in the san lorenzo market, in the summer of 2008, i thought i would die if i left italy without it... so, i talked the vendor down from the original price of 40 euro, to a lovely 15. this is the result of buying a ring in the summer... it's huge. and it falls off. constantly. so i have to be aware of my fingers!

mom, dad, aaron, and aunt teresa came for the weekend- it was wonderful to have them here. i really wish they hadn't had to leave. it's easier to forget about all the crap bothering me when they are here. i have tons of reading to do for african missions, an essay to write for my education class, and countless hours of art to be doing. i guess i should be productive.

random:today was an exceptionally good hair day. but also one of those days that i hated what i decided to wear. i love the outfit, today just wasn't the right day for it to make an appearance. every sunday i read the sunday secrets. i enjoy reading all the post secret stuff, and recently found all 4 currently published books for the price of 1 (and a 1/2). i'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of

first, SOIL #5i love ted wheetley. he's my boo. he makes me laugh. makes me think. makes me tell him when life isn't  ok. he listens. he talks. he's wonderful. and i love him.also... i wish sometimes i could change things. make them the way they used to be. i would make this longer, but then i think i'd wish i hadn't.

i was out of town on a choir trip to harrison, arkansas yesterday so i was unable to post- the concert went well, the bus ride was horrible. there is NO interstate between harrison and searcy. NONE. it was curvy back roads the WHOLE 2.5 hours... carsick. the whole way. on a loud bus. anyway, yesterday's (#3) some one i love (which will now be abbreviated as "soil")and today's (#4)and now i have

nash sent me a text friday night, telling me to get out of bed and go to the gym with him... we worked out, showered and he told me to look cute. we drove to little rock to basically just sit there and talk. it was wonderful. he's such a wonderful friend.

oh my goodness... the past 7 days were stressful. finally they're over. had a test in art history, in weaving, and one in modern architecture. 2 projects due, one in my sculpture 2 class, the other in weaving. had an event on friday that i planned, coordinated, had to handle all by myself.... it went well though. now it's this week's stress...
