A #1…. I got a job!! In my field!!! It’s only part- time, but it’s a foot in the door. I start Monday morning as a Para Professional in an Early Childhood Special Education classroom. The school is only [...]

Every once in a while Neil over at Citizen if the Month comes up with another great idea. Last Christmas he hosted the first annual Chrismahannakwanza Celebration (I’m pretty sure I spelled that wrong and it’s NOT coming up in spellcheck) Along with the unspellalble event, he hosted a Virtual Art Crawl over the holidays.

I may be a nerd, but, I am no geek.
Some thing went awry and I was no longer able to access my dashboard. At last, I’m here again and worried that I should just leave my computer on so I don’t have to relive that headache. I’m pretty sure I f’ed up something, but, the [...]

This is a piece that is most unlike the rest of my work. It was made after 9/11, during the anthrax scare. At the time, I worked in the mailing department of my company, and was absolutely terrified of anthrax. I know it was ridiculous. I knew it then. But I just [...]

It’s freakishly cold here today. 17 below last I checked. It has put some gorgeous frost on all of my windows. I find myself moving from room to room, following the sun so I can be hypnotized by all the little prisms.

random notes on fears
i’ve never been good with allowing people to help me in any way. i am stubborn and independent from a genetic basis, but, also maybe part of this overwhelming fear / loathing/dislike of needing help or just folks wanting to be nice and me being unable to let them has a little [...]

As an art student, I didn’t take too kindly to critique sessions. I was still awfully thin - skinned, and I’m not sure I could find my self esteem if you’d given me a map with an X on it. So, in a critique of a color theory assignment that [...]

Not that I’m a total earth mother/hippie chick, but, I have strong leanings that way. I never ever planned on coloring my hair. Oh sure, I would do the occasional henna every once in a while, but that was just for fun.
As I got older, and I started getting gray hairs here and there, the [...]

Caron
Someone with my name ran across my other blog this week and left me a comment. How cool is that?! The comment and, someone else with my name! I’m not certain how she pronounces hers. Mine is Car + on, NOT Care + on.
