Moving, maybe.
I might close up shop here and start somewhere else.
This domain is getting on my nerves.
I’ll let you know.

Tell me something good.
I’ve been wanting to update my blog this past week, but each time I tried I just sat starting at the blinking cursor. I couldn’t think of what to tell you that I had not already said on Twitter or Facebook.
So let’s see what I can come up with that you might not already know. That’s a big “might”, since I think most of my readers follow me on different social media networks anyway.
I’m nearly finished with the Problem Based Learning class, the first course taken for my MBA degree. It’s been a learning experience, a little on the difficult side, but not so difficult that I feel like I’m going to lose my mind. I assume this is because it’s the first class and it will only get more difficult from here. Anyway, I’ve adapted well to the online classroom and APA formatting and style although it was a major headache at first. We have two major assignments left to turn in and then it’s over for that class. Next up, Transformational Leadership.
I am employed again and working as a floral designer, one of the only design specialties that do not require formal postsecondary training. While it’s something I enjoy right now, it’s really just tiding me over while I work on my degree and search for the ‘next best thing,’ whatever that may be. I am glad to be doing something that requires creativity, however. On my first day I created a $50 arrangement, set it in the display case and went outside for a break. When I returned, the arrangement had already sold! So proud 
I like working with the flowers. It’s sort of therapeutic. I have a lot to learn about them though and I’m sure I will unintentionally kill off a few at first. My flower knowledge is limited to roses, orchids, tulips, lilies and daffodils. They are so delicate and I realized during my first day on the job that I don’t have the softest touch! So that will be something to work on.
I’ve been sketching more often in the evenings to take a break from the computer. So far everything I draw turns out looking like something you might see under a microscope: amoeba, protozoa or disease progression. If I can find a way to make this interesting then I will be in luck!
Because I have so much to read for school, I’ve taken to reading graphic novels in my spare time. I have some already in my collection that I haven’t read yet so now I’m working on Harvey Pekar’s Another Day and Ego and Hubris. He never fails to entertain. Any other suggestions? I need to hit up Ed McKay’s and check out their collection of graphic novels.
So what about you? How are you doing?
Tell me something good.

Looking Glass.
A little mid-week visual stimulation for you …
As said on Babelgum:
Nominated for a Golden Palm at Cannes for best short, Looking Glass is an animated film from renowned animator Erik Rosenlund. It is a dark stormy night. A little girl is home alone, but is she really?

Hello summer!
Looks like we might just skip spring completely and go straight into summer. Fine by me! I’m looking forward to the pool being open and maybe hitting the beach again for a weekend.
I was thinking about visiting the Sarah P. Duke Gardens this weekend because I’ve heard really good things. Thought it might be a nice place to get some pics. However, the pollen count is supposed to be out of control so maybe we’ll skip it. No fun trying to take pics while scratching your eyes out.
What’s on the agenda for you this weekend?
