This is How Behind I Am…
…on blogging, that is. Yes, it is a little before 1:00 AM and yes, I am just finishing up my day with this post.
A few weeks ago I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms, one of my favorite times of the year, at our local park. (My love for their transient beauty pops up on our home page as well.) I snapped this in between the ice cream and lolling about.

New Year’s Resolution
I usually don’t make resolutions because I hate breaking them and always do. I don’t want to lose weight, I don’t want to make a grand life-change. There are always conservation measures that I can take… I already religiously use canvas shopping bags by Eco Bags (www.ecobags.com)… What I do want to do is stop using so many plastic water bottles. There are currently a total of 7 bottles in various states of fullness floating around my car, 2 by the side of the bed, 1 on my desk and 3 under the bed. I have a serious problem!! It started when my kitties began a bad habit of upending cups with the special talent for dumping them in my purse. My new baby kitties like to chew on the straws and dip their paws in the water – not too appetizing when you consider where that foot has been! I tried an armada of plastic and lexan bottles only to find out that they may be better for the landfills but still leach toxins into your beverage. My BF “B” turned me on to these wonderful stainless steel bottles by Klean Kanteen (www.kleankanteen.com) and I LOVE THEM!

It really could be anywhere.
Some Poor Graphic Designer is FIRED!!
Yep, you’ve read that right, “She killed. It was her evening. She was the star.”
-Famous Person
We’ve all done it before, placed a FPO (for placement only) image or text into a design and then have forgotten to replace it. The client doesn’t even notice it because they just love the concept. This mistake hopefully gets caught before it goes live to the masses on the internet or before the presses actually start cranking out your stupid mistake and you become liable for those printing costs. Well someone, in the race to capitalize on the Biden-Palen debate, the morning after, forgot to either get a quote or replace it. Either way it ran on WashingtonPost.com, was a great joke and embarrassment to the Republican campaign and probably got someone low on the totem pole fired.

These pictures don’t even begin to represent the experience…

It has only taken me one whole month to go through our Maui pictures. Here is a just a taste, theme is sand and rock.

I don’t know if it is because I am a complete design geek but this documentary was awesome!! Check it out when you have a moment.
Salon Nombre (1)
I had the privileged of participating in a Salon on Saturday night. A good time was had by all. Some snippets from the night… Suthi’s new engagement ring, a debate over whether to circumcise or not, Saar banging on his piano, Alisa playing Mozart, sHeM singing symbolically “I can make it on my own” and many more.
