This is me. I’m blonde. It’s lovely packaging for maple syrup that uses an eyedropper to dispense!

I’ve been sitting on it for a few days now. Trying to think of what I did in February…It’s not until I went through my email that I could remember anything that went on. I wish that was because I was on some wild drug induced trip for 28 days straight, but I think overall February was slightly unmemorable. Here’s what I was able to gather:
- Began discussing and writing a webseries show with my best friends from college
- Spent a lot of time consulting and designing for the band Mike manages, Hyper Crush, as well as his two companies
- Fell back in love with web design and discovered soooo many helpful design sites such as Noupe
- Booked my airfare, hotel, and bought tickets for Bamboozle
- Got a new client!
- Made a yummy yummy Coconut Passionfruit Cake which I have neglected to write and post pictures about so far…
February should be my last snoozer month for awhile. By snoozer month, I pretty much worked, designed, slept, and hung out with friends. All very good things to do. But there are exciting events coming up:
+ I hope to sign another client (packaging!) this week.
+ Crossing my fingers to sign on to do a website for a restaurant this week also.
Looking forward to April:
+ Coachella.
+ My Birthday during Coachella weekend!
+ Mike’s coming to visit and we’re going to a wedding.
Looking forward to May:
+ Bamboozle (Third Eye Blind, No Doubt, Hyper Crush, Taking Back Sunday).
+ Kevin Devine at the Troubadour May 17!
Life is in full swing and spring is right around the corner. One of my favorites.
I’m not feeling well today. Last night, after going to IHOP’s Pancake Celebration (read: Free shortstack!) I started to get a sore throat and a headache. I went to bed around midnight, took quite awhile to fall asleep, only to wake up at 4:30a feeling terrible. I think I’ve come down with the flu. I feel exhausted and I slept (err attempted to sleep) for over 10 hours. I could use some of this right now (less the ham):
Mike invited me to be his date to a wedding at the end of April. That’s something to look forward to, especially since it will be over three months since I have seen him.
I’ve been feeling a little downtrodden lately, all this economic mumbojumbo, seeing more and more storefronts post FOR LEASE signs, and just generally having a bleak outlook. I’m in a funk 
One thing I have been really into lately is web design and discovering design blogs. I’ve been discovering so many articles on “50 Best Portfolio Websites,” “10 Great ways to Find Freelance Clients,” “15 Free Programs Every Designer Should Use,” which is interesting and encouraging. Here’s a site to check out: The Design Cubicle
I just found out one of my old teammates from Chapman Crew is spending a year in Amsterdam. I am incredibly inspired and yet a bit despondent from the realization I won’t get to experience living in another country for at least a few years to come.
About two months ago, I decided I would move to London in the latter part of 2009 and had begun researching ways to secure a visa and work abroad programs. Well, a few short weeks later, I was offered the opportunity to become a partner in the business I have worked for the past three years, starting my own graphic design department and acting as owner/creative director. That’s obviously an offer I cannot pass up.
London will still be there in a few years. Perhaps I’ll score a permanent high-level position in a studio there, rather than the temporary one I was hoping for in 2009…
Regardless, I wish Shannon lots of happiness and luck!!
