what’s new?

I miss my husband!  He’s been working so much lately. Sigh.

Anyway, amidst my busy-ness of cleaning up the new house, working, and making cakes I have acquired a new pet:

jinxi

She likes my new art studio too.

Have you seen where the wild things are yet?  If not, you should go right now.  Really, truly amazing.

was it really a day off today?

So, we were supposed to close on the house today.  At least, that was the original plan.  I knew it was going to get pushed back, but it still makes me cranky nonethless.  I worked a LOT so I could have today off, and I have this weekend off to move in.  Except, I don’t have a house to move into yet.  I can’t help but to be extremely excited though.  I still can’t believe I will be a gen-ui-ne bon-a-fide homeowner!

Started the newest class today for AIO.  It’s graphic symbolism.  OOOOOOOO, mysterious!  I’m pretty stoked because I’m always suprised by what my prethought of a term is to what is actually involved.  For example, typography=some font and stuff.  I ended up learning SO MUCH!  Now I can’t even look at the back of a semi truck without deciphering the type and placement of all the text.  It’s very hard thinking like this, and it makes my driving less than stellar. lol.

Anywho, here’s crossing my fingers to getting into the house early next week!  X

My first assignment for this new class was to pick a mythological symbol that describes a personality trait.  I picked cupid’s bow.
