We loved each other. We annoyed each other. We held each other up. We made each other better.
The day after Bin Laden was killed, I was reminiscing about life when I was a newspaper designer. Since then, I’ve been reminiscing hard core about those days. The reason it’s on my mind is because a few former colleagues are planning a reunion, and I’m designing a digital commemorative newspaper for the event. So…

4 kids and I didn’t even have to change a dirty diaper
Chuck surprised my sister for their anniversary by bringing her and the kids up to my house for the night so I could babysit while they had an evening out. What he may not have known was he was giving me a gift as well! It was my pleasure to watch the two boys. And…

Peanut butter so good, it deserves a blog post
Ok, I am no food writer. And typically I find food posts pretty boring unless they have some sort of recipe that is perfectly healthy and I plan to make myself. But typically I could care less what you eat for dinner, so I really don’t tell you about what I’m eating. That’s how good…

He’s funny, he’s musical, and he’s entertaining
Haven’t showed you much graphic design lately, so today I’ll show you a logo I designed for Anil while I was visiting Phoenix. He is a DJ and a comedian, and he is certainly very entertaining! Which one do you think he chose?

Things are always better with your mom

How do you ask someone nicely to stfu? Their kids too?
Note: I’ve never had the “pleasure” of living on the bottom floor of an apartment. I’ve always been on the top floor. But as I’ve been recovering from my injuries, I’ve been staying some at Anil’s house. He happens to have very, very noisy neighbors. I started writing a mental letter to them in my head…

Laser hair removal update
So, I blogged a few weeks ago about the beginning of my ventures into laser hair removal. Several people have asked how it’s going, and I don’t have too much to report yet (it’s a slow process) but I’ll tell you how it’s going so far. My first appointment was for brazilian bikini at Elite…

Two steps forward, one step back
So, yesterday I had a big day planned. Was going to go to the gym for the second time since my fainting incident. But I didn’t make it as planned. In fact, I didn’t do anything as planned. Woke up with my face swollen around where my stitches had been and feeling miserable. I called…
