helluva COOKIE.

while I wait for my files (the ones I accidentally deleted and am secretly trying to recover) to load... I found this cookie. what a delicious looking recipe. I want to drop my face into that skillet...

but instead, I will abstain from junk food for the next week or two. I ate enough nachos to kill someone yesterday (the super bowl made me do it), and had a crazy chocolate lunch on Sat. I'm in time out.

WOW. how cool is this cake?

this baker is on the varsity team. Heart cake tutorial.

BORN TO RUN

this book is rocking my world! and another TED talk to go with. Read. It.

p.s. I've had the foot injuries, too, but I'm keeping my shoes on. I found *the ones* that work for me: just about any ASICS. I have had a nail come through my foot three different times in my life. I ALWAYS wear shoes for that reason alone.

Pantone 18-2120

Honeysuckle. Really? I mean, I love the color, but surprised that its color of the year. Who votes for this stuff? Not heterosexual men, thats for sure. Plus, honeysuckle isn't really PINK (more yeolloe and white). Plus..... 2011 just began. How do we know that this is the defining color of 2011? (Skeptical much?) "Think Pink", people.

WHITEPOD

whitepods, Switzerland

St. John's, Carribean

False Cape State Park, Va

If I hadn't royally f'ed up my financial situation by returning to school for another degree, I would be planning a glorious vacation right this minute. I'm dying to stay in one of these pods, high in the Swiss Alps. Also on the short list - any Caribean Island. I guess I can count my blessings and consider myself fortunate to have been to both Switzerland and the Carribean. Just whet my appetite for more. 2011 = money stays in the bank this year. I'll be lucky to see Va Beach. (Truth be told, okay by me, I love Va Beach!)

they should be ashamed!

This skirt costs $500. Cute skirt, but the price makes me sick. Disturbed.

is it Friday yet?

Looking forward to inking up the press this weekend. Also have a date to discuss a studio manager position (letterpress studio) at the Visual Arts Center in RVA. I have a feeling they're going to tell me it is an(other) unpaid position. Wondering what I'll bargain for. Free classes? Studio time? Snacks?
