An art challenge piece for aimees message board. not quite what the challenge was asking, but it was good practice, as i’m still getting used to my tablet, and painter classic.

WOWOWOWOWO

Finally! Finally I won’t have to sit with my back to 2 doors, 2 supervisors, and the printer. do you know how many people wander by to printer sit while waiting for thier docs to print!!! having people behind me drives me batty! yah! new desk!

we are sooo forum monkies today. bad us, bad us!

Friday was my birthday! Woo, now I am 23, go figure. I’ve had a good year. Well, certainly eventful. Lost my job, searched for a new job for 3 months, ended up at a poor job, left that, and now have been here at Roto Zip for several months in a row. Woo. Married my best friend, and biggest crush. And well, generally survived. Ooh, and well I lost those 20 lbs before the wedding!


By this time next year I’d like to lose another 40 or so lbs. It’d be something I haven’t been since high school. I’m also excited to see how my artistic talents will have increased from now. I’m going to be putting a lot more effort and practice into building a viable art portfolio. Yes, this means many elves will be drawn.


Friday was my birthday, I took off of work an hour early, and went home for a quick nap before going out to dinner with my Husband and parents. Parents who are inconceivably cool and who bought me a real, honest-to-goodness Wacom tablet! Woo! Finally! I was almost in tears, it was such a surprise. I honestly didn’t think I’d get anything from them. (I’m so silly) Mostly, because of the Wedding this summer. But they wanted to get me something a bit nicer because of silly tax refund mess up thingy. And they love me. Heh. They also gave me a cool fashion art book called ‘9 Heads’ , which was, apparently my father’s idea. And it’s also very cool, talks about general fashion illustration, as well as good figure drawing and S-curves. Just dreamy, really.


Carlo got me an awesome wooden deskset, it has two little drawers, and some places to put writing material, and a wooden box for pens and pencils. He also got me some DVD’s, yah for dvd’s.


Saturday we went to Lambeau field, for the pre-season Packers vs Dolphins football game. I happily scored some free tickets to go on Friday. We went with Doug and his girl Tracy, and had a great time in the rain. Several things to remember about the game.

• Lambeau is much smaller than it looks on tv.
  
• Ponchos are a wonderful invention for keeping humans mostly dry.
  
• You don’t get a choice silly drunk people will sit behind or beside you.
  
• We had an awesome time.
  
• My husband missed the 4th quarter, he was there, he was watching it, but was so focused he missed the change to the 4 th quarter.
  
• We had a great time.
  
• The Packers won!!!
  
• We were very thankful that Doug drove.
  
• We got in at 3:30 or so.
