Paint Nite catchup
I'm actually on Maui right now, and will do a post about that at some point, but first I want to do a Paint Nite catchup, because I didn't have time before we left.
First up was this painting, which I did back in mid-June as a birthday gift for my mom:

Where has summer gone?
Ok, I realize at this point I owe an update so massive, it's ridiculous.
School: Got out on 22 June, super late. Two took his senior pictures that same day. We got his proofs in early July and sucked it up to order a couple, despite the ridiculous price tag for senior pics, so we could complete the set of school photos we have in one of those ( Read more... ) -
Catch me up
I have been a terrible friend. I have not had time to read my flist in a MONTH. Please PLEASE, leave a comment if you have news I should catch up on, and I will specifically seek out your journal to see what I missed. I'm so so sorry. -

This week, I went to visit my dad. I left the house at 5a Wed morning (EDT) to get to the Philly airport, took two flights (connecting through Denver) to Eugene, then drove 2:40 to get to his house, arriving shortly before 5p PDT. (Basically, 12 hours door to door ( Read more... ) -
Second semester in the bag
As far as I can tell, I am DONE. But, man, it's been a grueling few weeks, which is why I basically fell off the face of the earth for, you know, a month. It was all I could do to keep up with weekly obligations, particularly as I was having a hard time focusing for a couple of weeks, and then I had end-of-term projects due, two Sundays in a row ( Read more... ) -
To go or not to go?
I've been dithering for weeks about trying to visit my dad for a couple of days in mid-May, between the end of my spring semester and beginning of my summer term.
