It’s a pretty busy week this week—which is good because the faster Thursday gets here, the better. 

Lots of new client work: logos, stationery, patterns, Oh my! 

My students are in the final weeks of classes, meaning they should be wrapping up their projects. This also means that there will be a split in personalities. Some will have it totally under control. Some will be in “panic & freak out” mode. I’ll be walking the line between therapist & instructor. 

My favorite seminar from when I was a student is being held at Portfolio Center this week. It’s called, “How to Build a Grenade” and is taught by John Bielenberg and Rich Binell. It’s about using design and copywriting as a medium to effectively and quickly communicate and it’s amazing. I hope that I get to sit in on part of the workshop again. 

Best of all… College friend reunion in FLORIDA! We’ll be missing quite a few of my favorites, but it will be wonderful to see the ones that can make it. It’s always a good time to be with this crew of people, so apologies in advance if I post an excessive amount of photos. I’ll try to keep it to a minimum. 

(That’s probably a lie. I’ll post a ton of pictures, and I’m not really sorry about it.) 

My niece is playing Ursula in the Jr version of The Little Mermaid, today. She absolutely stole the show. Charlotte is so animated and talented and has an amazing singing voice that made my jaw drop when she hit the crescendo in Poor Unfortunate Souls.

I’m a heck of a proud aunt, Char. Great job today and I can’t wait to see what you do next! Get me a video so I can post it for people to see!

My grandfather is donating some suits to a charity shop and had to remove some personal labels that his tailor had sewn into the coats. While discussing this, under her breath, my mom starts singing “I wear your Grandad’s clothes… I look incredible…”

Brilliant.

My sister & I just ran into Dikembe Mutombo and had a strong urge to tell him “not in my house” whilst batting the school concert program out of his hand and running quickly away.

Also, his feet are the size of small children.
