has been a little bumpy. First of all, there is the weather. The transition between mild 70's and 80's sunshine to 30's and 40'd wet and cloudy has SO sucked. Our 6 months of winter has appearently decided to be 7 this year. The tulips look cold and frozen along Michigan Ave. I had to put away the flip flops I'd been wearing all week down south, though I refused to get my winter coat back out. Then there is the mounting pile of projects sitting at my door, the chaps to be finished and printed, the several to be laid out for the next couple of months, the etsy orders to be shipped that have come in over the interim. My apartment is still trashed, the dining room littered with papers, supplies, and slips (it looks a little like a brothel..) I managed to sort through the mail (this month's P&W's has an awesome article on the mix-tape strategy of organizing a manuscript by Katrina Vandenberg, you should check it out..) I still have several e-mails to respond to, and my answering machine is blinking at me maniacally. And then, of course, work, but it's reasonably quiet here gearing up for the end of semester rush...I get a little freaked out and just have to keep telling myself to do one thing at a time...
Thank you all for the birthday well wishes...I am going to use my birthday card monies from various sources for a splurge on art supplies at Utrecht sometime this week. My sister, god bless her, gave me a fancy copy of the Inferno and a Starbucks gift card which is burning a hole in my wallet as we speak...
