Life Changes

I’m not moving, I’m not gettin’ hitched, I don’t have a baby on the way. Don’t worry, it’s not that drastic.
But I’ve been waiting for a post like this for a long time. Something to give me some extra motivation and really kick my butt in gear. I have been making gradual changes to my life, [...]

Playing with words

I found a fun new website to play around on – Wordle.net. You feed it a group of words and it makes a custom image for you, the largest words being the ones used most in your group. Try it, it’s fun!
Here’s my first one, using the lyrics to my favorite Michael Buble song, Home.

A few things

I’m feeling random today so you’ll just have to bear with me or stop reading.

Did you know that Twitter’s 3 founders are all college dropouts? I’m passing no judgement whatsover here – college is not for everyone – but I just found that interesting. Here’s the whole story.
Consumer confidence is up, defying all expectations, including [...]

On California…

Today’s top news: California Supreme Court upheld its same-sex marriage ban. I will spare you the entire rant because you’ve heard it before, but I just wanted to say that I’m very disappointed.

Be careful what you wish for…

…you just might get it.
We’ve had drought conditions here in Central Florida for months, and the fires were starting to break out more and more. I work near a fire station, and every day I’d cringe as the fire condition meter was always at “extremely high.” I’ve been wishing for rain for weeks, because my [...]

Signs of home

Going home to Michigan always means family & friends, but mostly I look forward to the change of scenery. It’s so beautiful and green this time of year, and my mom’s flowers were just starting to bloom.

I also love going from beach scenery to the down home country living for a change. I am finding [...]

Ships

A restaurant on the water near my work recently had some Columbus replica ships on display for a weekend, and when they set out on the Halifax River they crossed right near our building. I grabbed the camera and some co-workers and headed out to the back patio to take some pictures.

They were so cool [...]

-Not reading as much as I would like to be, but have instead been completely distracted by Flickr, scrapbooking websites and my own creative ideas.
-Collecting photos, stickers and embellishments for my vintage typecase project. [...]
