    2019-12-31 MFA Res Day 3 – Holding Ones Breath

    First of all, I slept like doggy dodo last night and I would say I’ve only got myself to blame (staying up past midnight, not paying attention during the day to things piling up needing to be done, Etc.) but there are other factors outside of my control. Dare I say a longer list not…

    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…

    2019-12-29 MFA Res Day 1 – Unpredictable

    It’s not quite 6am and I’m on the treadmill. I went to bed at a decent time but my Fitbit is still reporting less than 6 hours with poor quality for sleep. I dunno.. I think that’s unavoidable. Still I feel pretty good and ready to get after this day. Yesterday, which I thought was…

    2019-12-28 MFA Res Day .998 – Serious Shrug

    (They can’t all be winners.) I did a little catching up with some of my peeps last night but was hampered somewhat by a slight headache and a lack of desire. Desire for what I’m not sure. A few folks were talking about being nervous and or excited but it’s their second term. This is…

    2019-12-27 MFA Res Day 0.5 – Midnight in December

    6PM on December 27th in Nowheresville Nebraska and it might as well be midnight. Last time I was here I had to request a new room after 3 days because of a wasp problem and this time? It might be a neighbor problem. Time will tell. I’m not next to my friends anyway so they…

    2019-12-27 MFA Res Day 0

    Why day 0? Cuz I’m a numbers nerd and all good counters start at 0. Today is my last minute mad scramble to get my act together and haul myself and half my world to Nebraska City for the start of my 4th official Residency for my MFA.💃💃💃 Festivities kick off this afternoon and I’m…

    2019-12-17 So Much Sweetness

    Today I’m doing a happy dance as my seemingly never ending semester is finally.. FINALLY over! 💃💃💃 Yesterday was my last class on campus and we had pizza did a fun little exercise where everyone writes a line of a poem on a piece of paper and then fold that over and pass it to…

    2019-12-12 Channeling the Chocolate Chip

    This post must be dedicated to Michelle without whom I would not be inspired to try and be a Chocolate Chip cookie – today or ever! 😉 (Thanks for being a great accountability partner and an awesome human). I love a good chocolate chippy as much as the next girl, but for some reason the…
