Happy birthday to me!
Hurray! And ta-da! It's snowing! In the nineteen years I've lived in Lawrence (let's not dwell on that for now), it has not snowed or had significant snow on the ground exactly once. More proof that the universe has the ultimate sense of dark humor.
First off, I'd like to share where I'm spending some of my birthday money:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bestill's photo gallery. She is an amazing photographer and makes lovely prints of her stuff. I ordered a few for xmas presents this year, and I'm going to order several more with my b-day cash--for me and friends. Check them out. Quite gorgeous, and a wide variety of subjects and styles. The flickr account isn't set up for sales, but if you tell her the print and size you want, she will be happy to send you a quote. She may be contacted via her website, Bonkers Fiber. I also hope to, later this year, hire her to do a journaling workshop (making a journal, not necessarily writing in it). Please let me know if you'd be interested in doing this as a group thing. She teaches all sorts of workshops on a national level and as you can see from her own journals, she is very talented.
Next, the universe's birthday present to me (besides the weather): 149 pounds this morning! This is the first time I've been under 150 since post-faire 2005. I'm aiming to get back to 140 before I go to Italy this summer. I figure that'll give me five pounds to gain while I'm there and still fit in the clothes I brought.
This morning I drove a kid to campus. He was trudging along the sidewalk as I was warming up the car and I offered him a ride. It didn't make me feel like less of a wimp for driving, but it eased the guilt factor a bit. A wind chill of negative three is just too damn cold for me to walk 20 minutes to campus. Turned out he's a grad student in American Studies. Cool.
Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes!
