  • Okay, technically, this was from yesterday too. But today is rainy and I’m achy from my pitiful attempt at roller skating, and these photos are more fun. Kristina’s surprise 40th birthday party at Skateland USA last night. A space square!

I got to see them up close! (I REALLY wanted to buy one, but one of my goals this year is to cut back on unnecessary spending.)…

  • Back to work. Also back to journaling. Now I’m glad that I didn’t sell this one in the gallery. It’s a good one. More “work” on the 2014 map. This is fun. I doodle and refine, doodle and refine. It has helped me get my head just a little bit straighter too, although I am…
