after a great long (and entirely work-free) weekend, this week was a doozy! i did have a GREAT friday speaking on a panel with some excellent colleagues and keynote speaker olivia gude (aka my hero), who i then got to chat with about my teaching and her vision over lunch! speaking about my teaching in front of/with one of my greatest mentors was both extremely nerve-wracking and a huge honor. WHOA.

i've still got some catching up to do in order to be ready for the last two weeks of classes (!!) and the start of precollege, so have a great week, everybody!

on the plus side, my bed is made with fresh sheets and classy throw pillows, and i scored some sweet PANTS (i know, i know) for spring since i wore a hole in one of my pairs of jeans (aka 1/2 of the pants i own). have a great week, everybody!

man, i could totally get used to three day weeks! thanks thanksgiving. here are the dailies from one of my favorite holiday weeks:

(sunday, november 18th)

(monday, november 19th)

 

(tuesday, november 20th)

 (wednesday, november 21st)

 (thursday, november 22nd)

 (friday, november 23rd)

(saturday, november 23rd)

thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays not only because i love cooking (and eating), but also because of the warm and wide definition of "family" that the holiday creates. it has been a long time since i've lived close enough to celebrate this holiday with my actual family, but i am very lucky to have had many others in my life who, in the spirit of thanksgiving, have considered me one of their own. i am thankful for the day that blurs the definition of family, and to be surrounded by wonderful people so willing to include me in theirs. 

in other news, i am thankful for four day weekends that let me get tons of work done for artmarket! follow me on instagram to get sneak peeks of the goods, and don't forget to attend the art market dec 5-8th at mica!! have a great week, everybody!

the old switcheroo!

so, i know you've all probably been grumbling to yourself, "GIVE ME THE DAILIES I WANT THE DAILIES" but unfortunately, i don't have them for you yet. they are stuck in the blue pencil stage right now because, for the end of the pre-college program i decided to take my gentle obsession with making/writing love notes (which littered our office by the end of the program, doodled on post-its, scrap paper, and even a toilet paper roll fashioned into a tiny owl speaking words of love & adoration) and make hand-lettered thank yous for my incredible staff members (slash friends).

below is a sampling of some of them which i present as a peace offering and also proof that i am in fact not a big fat slacker. i hope they liked getting them as much as i liked making them.

the dailies will be coming, i promise. i am hoping to sneak this week's in before i head to the beach for some legit vacation-time like a real-live grown-up (without internet or a scanner).
have a great (rest of) your week, everyone!

dailies 7/25-7/31.

oh hey sunday, how's it going? so nice to see you again. i have been a super-slacker this week, basking in my unbelievably flexible (albeit brief) schedule between the end of precollege and the start of summer camp at the walters (aka tomorrow). how do i define said basking? uh, 3 seasons of 30 rock in 4 days mmmmm. every once in a while i really love turning off my brain.

sunday, july 25th: "tiny thank yous for giant actions."

monday, july 26th: "don't you look at me, dinner."

tuesday, july 27th: "cerebral wrap-up."

wednesday, july 28th: "couldn't have said it better myself."

thursday, july 29th: "the sky opened up every time i tried to procrastinate leave the house."

saturday, july 30th: "starting fresh."

saturday, july 31st: "walking around listening to instrumental music makes me feel like i'm in a movie."

also, in my "hey i get to be a real human, wheeeeee" time, i both donated a bunch of crap to good will and then bought some more awesome things, including a standard (lovely) scarf, a navy j.crew button-front skirt, a crisp oxford (for the whole, looking-like-a-grownup thing) a DKNY motorcycle jacket and best of all, a dark magenta leather blazer. bonus points (or a secret surprise!) if you can guess what i spent (and raf no guessing you big answer-knowing cheat!). have a great week, everybody!

dailies 5/16-5/22.

salutations! or at least, hi friends! now that i have finally procured my master's degree, i imagine i have to use fancy talk all the time. or something. i'm just excited to be able to finally wrap up the all sorts of loose ends that i have accrued throughout the course of student teaching. whew! what an incredible, wonderful journey this has been. but enough of that, let's get to the dailies!

sunday, may 16th: "audible anxiety."

monday, may 17th: "wow, thank you, so much."

tuesday, may 18th: "how encouraging that our conversation did not hinge on art ed."

wednesday, may 19th: "i woke up with a children's book in the front of my brain."

thursday, may 20th: "getting back to productive."

friday, may 21st: "issuing countless thank yous."

saturday, may 22nd: "i wish i could title work like she can: accomplishing what my dailies attempt."

here's to a renewed sense of focus, with a shiny, new, and slightly more flexible schedule (for now). have a great week!
