February 20, 2012

hiatus.

For any of you who even remotely happen to read my blog on a semi-regular basis this post title should be self explanatory. Due to various reasons I have voluntarily/involuntarily-ish taken a little computer and interwebz break.

Reasons for voluntarily stepping away from the computer:
- I have been reading the Hunger Game series by Suzanne Collins. The fact that all 3 books are out and available I didn't want to do much else until I got through the entire story. I just finished the third book tonight.
- In attempts to save money & take a break from GR, I went home to Traverse City and enjoyed a lazy weekend with my parents.

Reasons for involuntarily-ish stepping away from the computer:
- I recently started a new job which begins with a week long training session done completely on the computer. Needless to say after 7 hours of staring at that digital screen for a week, it was the last thing I wanted to do when I came home.

Sooo, now I'm back... hopefully on schedule again. The second half of the alphabet is coming. Promise. Unfortunately, tonight I have a stack of paperwork to try and understand for that is what this week's training will entail.

But here are some things that have happened during said hiatus.

Parents sent Pepper aka Mini Moo for Valentines Day. Moo loves her. :]


Elyse leaving her mark around our apartment with her personalized Valentines.
While in TC we checked out the snow sculptures at the marina.

The colors and ice formations were just so pretty.


So happy to see Benzi boy.

a letter a day- M

Guess what M is? M is the 13th letter of the alphabet... halfway done!



Also, for your enjoyment: Moo the hipster kitteh!

a letter a day- J

J to the rescue!

This letter officially trumps the unfortunate-ness that is I. It deserves a pink background.

a letter a day- I

NOOO... I messed up. I don't like my I at all. B just goes, "At least it's better than the A." Haha, well I still think it's worse than A.

Guess that's what I get for doing multiple letters on one day, sigh.

a letter a day- H

Oookay... confession: I have missed 3 days of letters. 3!! It'll be 4 if I don't get my act together today. As stated before however, I am still posting them on the correct date. This unfortunate lack of productivity thus initiated an email from Elyse, subject line "If this doesn't help... nothing will".



Haha! I died, too funny. And I will totally be drawing an ampersand at the end of my alphabet now. Granted this gem was personally made para mi, but if you haven't been to Typographer Ryan Gosling yet, I highly suggest you open a new tab... immediately.

So, I have been sick foreverrr it seems like, and I had an interview to prepare for last week. Those are my reasons for failing H, I, & J. But enough of the excuses- let's get on with it.  Here's the better-late-than-never H.
