  • summer cleaning.

    I am embarking on a mission to clean out my craft area and it looks like I have a big box of NEW paper and letter stickers and rubons and ribbons and stamps and everything to give away. Leave a comment with your plans for the weekend and I will randomly pick a name tomorrow…

  • 1+1+1.

    One year, one month and one day ago I wrote a letter to myself from my future self. The person that I thought I would be today. The person I hoped to be today. This project was inspired by Kal, and I believe it came from The Art of Possibility. Today I opened my letter.…

  • update.

    Dear Paul, Good news! The plant is doing better. I wish I had a before photo from the moment I walked through the door. Imagine the plant – only flattened. Turns out I am an excellent plant healer. And should probably be the one in medical school. Other good news! I am doing better. I…

  • “awesome,” she said.

    There are at least two ways I like to use the word "awesome." One way is when I really mean "right on, dude." Most commonly used in situations were I have just realized that there is a Starbucks nearby. Or when the shoes I am buying turn out to be more on sale than I…

  • you too can speak hawaiian.

    Drinking in Hawaii comes with a language lesson. The Kona beer caps have WORDS and their HAWAIIAN COUNTERPART on them. Check this out: Hulo! Pau moana kamau! Akamai ono ohana! Which means (obviously), "Hooray! All done ocean! Cheers clever, delicious family!" I keep searching for the beer caps with verbs and/or prepositions on them but…
