logo design

I designed a logo for my sister but I'm not sure if she will like it or not.
Hopefully, I'll get some feedback soon.

Jeepers

It's pretty much been a million years since my last post. How ridiculous. I fell off of some kind of wagon, I guess. I have now gotten back onto the wagon and the wagon took me to my computer. That makes no sense.

Anyway - new in my life. CJ got a new job. Woo- hoo! He's going to be working for a company here in Northfield called Monster Games. They make video games. I think it's a huge relief to him getting a job that doesn't require him to compromise his morals and try to rationalize how it isn't completely unethical of him to assist in the shipment of 3000 gallons of atrazine.

I also got a car - it's kind of a big rust bucket, but it is a car. It runs and it gets me across town.

I still exist

I don't know if anyone ever reads this anymore. I had some crappy back problems for a while and wasn't able to sit and type.

Now all I have is a crappy infection on my abdomen. It's very strange to have someone put gauze IN you.

Morning accidents
First we Crashed into a Car
Then spilled my mocha.

So - I haven't completely disappeared. I got a lot busier though. I got a promotion at work - yay more money!

I have no internet service at home - that's crummy. That's why I haven't been posting... or emailing.

Pictures

The eldest of the Haskell children, Michelle, recently bought a camera phone. Her reasoning was that it was for taking pictures of Colin because she didn't have a lot of pictures from his growing up and she regrets that now. I'm just not sure that makes sense. Ok - so now she may have pictures bc her phone is always ready and on her at all times. However, they'll all be crappy pictures. Is that really much better?

I can't relate anyway. I don't usually take pictures of people. My motivation for taking a picture is usually the wish for a beautiful and/or interesting photograph. One that can be appreciated even without context. I even take pictures of family events etc. i just tend not to take pictures of the people.

I do have a lot of pictures of cats though. I'm not sure I entirely like what that says about me.

Hey - I'm employed

Finally - a job. I've had a string of crummy luck and crummy jobs this past year. I think that has ended though. I am now employed at the Just Food Co-op here in Northfield. Woo-hoo.

I'm pretty excited because I really don't need a lot of money, but I hate having a job where I feel like there isn't really a point to my being there. Working at a co-op I'll feel like i am actually contributing something to the community.

So this is a good thing.
