Bad days seem to be catching lately, and apparently it was my turn to have one. Nothing bad actually happened, but I definitely had a storm cloud hovering above my head. I decided to crochet to feel better, but I couldn't find my case of crochet hooks anywhere! Figures, right? Eventually I managed to find a stray hook and this is what I made to ( Read more... )

So I uploaded the images from The Nine of Hearts. They're ( behind this cut )

Recently, when I've got a moment for self-reflection, I've been thinking about all the things I've been thinking about that I wouldn't have thought about if I hadn't come back here as a faculty member.

So anyway, I went through and pulled a photo from some of these "photo shoots" when I was at ( Read more... )

This break was not nearly as long as it needed to be. There was too much food and too many people to see and not enough time to recover. Classes begin again tomorrow and I have to drive back to campus this afternoon ( Read more... )

Every month I make a family desktop for the family, usually a collage of photos of each of us. Since I've been doing this since Christmas (I think? Maybe before?), I'm running low on photos, so I scanned in a bunch of pictures from yesteryear for the June desktop (alas, I didn't mark the dates of the pics as I scanned, though). I was going to ( Read more... )

So, this weekend was pretty rad. In fact, it was extraordinarily rad. ^^ Here's a brief recount of what we did...
