Today's theme: gluttony.
I am a glutton with books. Can never have enough!!
moving gnome!
There were many questions regarding the move I alluded to in my last post, so I thought it might be a good opportunity to get some of my newer blogworld buddies in the know...
It was about this time last …
dodgy chicken
It was special chicken fingers day in the cafeteria today (well, it was at one of the food station bars), and I was really excited, because a bit of barbecuey chicken with some hot chips & carrots and …
snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes...
The big news for a good portion of the country was the loads of snow we got this weekend. We didn't get too pummeled (only got 12 inches) when you compare to spots in Ind…

This week's theme was The Seasons. I went through iterations in my head of the 4 stages of a tree but wasn't really into doing that approach. I went for one of my favorite types of pics: the footsies…
randoms
No linear thought pattern working today (I'm not sure why), so I'll just offer up a few randoms you might or might not enjoy...
cool snail mail goodies
I received some fab snail mail goodies the other night. C…

a fine 30th, indeed.
(be forewarned: this is a big post all about me. )
I was originally supposed to be an Aquarius, but 30 years ago, the fates got together and conspired to make me a (somewhat atypical) Capricorn , i…

This week's theme was 'Balance.' At first I doodled me balancing the various bits of life that make it hectic, busy, but I wasn't liking what I came up with...This is an illo I did last weekend for a…
Gifty!!
I got home from work today to find a parcel from my Gifty partner, Jessica at Fig & Plum!! Jessica has got the destress sentiment down pat. I am so ready to use every single goodie she sent my way (Monkey …
it all looks so scrumptious
I'm not sure if my stomach is trying to tell me something, but lately, all I see in the weather is foooooood:
Today it is snowing again (it was in the 60s and balmy yesterday!). Wet, heavy…

I've Been Cocooning*
I don't think I've ever been one to get SAD before, but I think I'm starting to develop a few of the traits (albeit, not too severely) this winter, which have been keeping me in lolling gnome status…

This week's theme was "disaster relief." For a good share of this week, I wasn't certain I'd be able to come up with a suitable illustration. It's a very heavy subject, and I didn't know what would d…
one of the luckiest girls in the world
I seriously have the greatest neighbors ever. Ever! We got the "biggest snowstorm of this season" here in Chicagoland last night and got about a foot of snow. Monkey and I usually …
little gnome lost
I'm not really sure what is up with me lately, but I've been pretty hard-pressed to find much motivation to get up and do things the last few days. I'm not really in the dumps or feeling blue overall¹,…
