I am a marketing major. Which means I know before you start anything you research. I am thinking about making cards / envelopes. To sell. To see what happens. This is Project Alpha. And I would love feedback on it. In fact, I would love it so much, I created a little anonymous survey to…

Fall is this chair and wall in the Georgetown Starbucks. Where I sit and read almost every day before work starts. Where I often fall asleep. Where I am warm and cozy and alone for an hour or so. Fall is football games. And learning what it is like to cheer on a school that…

I went upstairs at work today and the girl who designs our window displays – the girl who is probably the best artist I have met in real life – had a box with eye holes cut into it on her head. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Thinking inside the box" she said.

I finally got mine out of the grocery bags they rode across the country in. We do not have bookshelf for them. So they are in piles. Color Order piles, I might add. Thank you very much for the encouragement on the Elise Blaha Wants To Be a Writer Saga. Step one is admitting it.…

The green was seasoned brown and the brown was seasoned with green. I love it. And in other fabulous news, my promotion became official today! I am the new Workshops Coordinator for Paper Source Georgetown. High Fives all around.

Ate waffles for breakfast. Paul came home. He came bearing gifts – bread from the best restaurant in Sacramento and a 100 calorie pack of Lorna Doone cookies from the airplane. Vern sent an email with a link to a website where you can customize your bedspread. I got really excited thinking we could finally…

Paul was out of town this weekend. It was my first weekend without him in a month. And a wonderful light bulb over the head moment of "OH! THANK GOODNESS THE LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP HAS COME TO AN END." Because seriously? When we used to live so far apart it sucked. And I am glad…
