    2020-01-04 MFA Day 7 – It Will Find It’s Way Out

    (making up for my brevity yesterday apparently so.. long post) Your voice, your words, your emotions, your suppressed or unsuppressed opinions and thoughts. The things pushed deep inside or those loitering silently just below the surface. Whatever it is, it will find it’s way out. Especially in moments when you feel like you can trust…

    2020-01-02 MFA Day 5 – Balls

    The lead in to of the lectures I attended yesterday lobbied that we should have 10 balls in the air at the all time. That if we did, it would be a bit of chaos but that it would increase our chances that some thing, even just one, would land and turn out golden. She…

    2019-12-30 MFA Res Day 2 – On Music and Magic and Math

    The song “Straighter Pilot” by Snow Patrol was in my head when I woke up. It’s not one of their more popular songs. It’s kinda quirky and kinda nerdy and truly atypical compared to the rest of their body of work. It’s a good reminder of what you can do with the freedom that comes…

    2019-12-10 Miss GingerSnap Speaks Her Mind

    This might end up making me sound like a person with a multiple personality disorder but I was inspired to “try on” some different cookies by my friend Michelle. So from now until Christmas (or the end of the year), I’m going to be a different cookie every day. Yay!!! 😃 *** Yesterday I had…

    2019-12-03 Celebrating Success!

    Somehow another month has slipped by. Somehow we’ve slid past the first of the fall/winter holidays and miraculously glossed right past the milestone that signified 2 months until the day of marriage vows. That was yesterday and I’m sure I could do a whole post about all of that, but it’s not what I’m aiming…

    2019-11-11 Sort, Organize, File.. Repeat

    First things first, tipping my hat today as a loyal numbers nerd. It’s eleven eleven. That’s got to mean today is going to be a great day, doesn’t it?… Yes!! There were a lot of things that happened on Saturday. As I said yesterday, it was too much and too overwhelming to write about. Like…

    2019-09-13 Making Sense of Nonsense

    This week has been a mess of nonsense. One minute things are fine, the next there’s an urgent letter that arrives and I spent time trying to decipher it, then I realize what day it is and go spinning back in time to try and make some words for that. I have assignments that are…

    2019-09-10 OR..91019!💃💃💃

    What’s with the dancing you ask? Well.. my dear friend Michelle pointed out to me yesterday that we are rolling into a glorious 10 day stretch of dates that are PALINDROMES! Let me tell you that when she texted me that yesterday it made me grin from ear to ear, not only because I’m a…
