Saturday we went to my favorite restaurant on the island to celebrate my Confirmation. We then went to the beach to take pictures. I'll post those tomorrow. Today we relaxed. OCIA was canceled (it runs through the end of Easter). We got pizza and hung out. A and I watched Say Yes to the Dress … Continue reading A Relaxing Weekend

An Idea
Is anyone doing interesting play with typography in poems? By which I mean using typography as a tool to create a visual landscape of emotion? I've had this idea before, but right now I'm reading some typography books and it has brought the idea to mind again. I adore the way the appearance of the … Continue reading An Idea
A Cozy Day
I will not be confirming with my class at the Easter Vigil Mass. Instead, I will do it sometime in the next couple of weeks at a weekday service.

There isn't as much housework on the weekends, but I can try to do … Continue reading Little Steps

Art Journaling
Today I went out to my favorite restaurant with a friend. It felt good to catch up, though I was exhausted because I only slept 2 hours. Tonight I'm doing some digital art journaling because I need something to soothe my mind, and I'm tired so it's hard to read. I must be quiet and … Continue reading Art Journaling
