So much so you decide to get a second pair but the second pair is longer than the first pair! I mean theoretically it's supposed to be the same, right? grrr...Same with shoes! The first pair fits fine but same pair in a different color is tighter!!! argh!!! What's even worse is when your feet are different sizes so one shoe fits tighter than the other...WTF!

I'm pretty proud of the work I've done so far and hopefully in the end it will print out looking like I had imagined. While the designs are simple I think it incorporates what the clients asked for and in some instances even clever. (not to toot my own horn or anything!) :) I actually thought that I wasn't good at logos and they weren't my thing for a while, but I'm starting to see I don't mind doing them that much anymore. Yes, they do put a lot of pressure on you to design a graphic that sums up the entire company and represent it in a way that makes everyone happy. (Did I say there was pressure involved?) But once you make something that works and the client likes it too, it definitely give me as a designer confidence in myself and in the world, that they know what good design is.:) <br /><br />While working on these projects I had to call printers for the first time to get quotes to print some business cards for my client. I was intimated to talk to the printers but mustered my courage and called them anyway. I found out that while their quality and work may be good their prices where not. It wasn't until my co-worker told me about <a href="http://4colorprint.com">4colorprint.com</a> that I was relieved to see their prices were much lower than the local printers. She had her own business cards printed there and showed me a sample, it was printed on silkcards 300 and it looked great! It has a laminate over the card so it's tear and water resistant. And better yet if you wanted to do a die cut, it won't cost you an arm and leg! So I'm excited to see how my cards will turn out, updates coming soon...Suckapantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080877492785917645noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16596479.post-9221852016847433862008-08-11T22:45:00.010-05:002008-08-22T22:39:03.130-05:00Time Flies<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwDDzmCNPWKm2C78Q0P3Vmkp8vYj5EcUloDZ35chxQHf0B2o1tUVNECbdpzCWImp_I-krfU3DKyKpr2vMCBJ7kz0hZ6QW3C1FAOd4hCWFAUpAA-3rERsq3JoNZX0hLzjbUIIJ1Sw/s1600-h/IMG_0514.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwDDzmCNPWKm2C78Q0P3Vmkp8vYj5EcUloDZ35chxQHf0B2o1tUVNECbdpzCWImp_I-krfU3DKyKpr2vMCBJ7kz0hZ6QW3C1FAOd4hCWFAUpAA-3rERsq3JoNZX0hLzjbUIIJ1Sw/s400/IMG_0514.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237552548407084994" /></a><br /><br /><br />Wow, I can't believe it's already August! It feels like summer just started. I really need to move somewhere warmer. I don't like the winter at all and most of the reason why is because I hate driving in the snow. You'd think that because I grew up in Wisconsin that I'd be used to the cold. But OH NO my friends! <br /><br />I'm sure it has something to do with wanting something you don't have. For example, I have a friend who grew up in Hawaii and he LOVES the snow. I think he's crazy. But if you think about it, he grew up in paradise. Never a day of bad weather. I would have no problems moving to a place with warm climates year round and if I ever got bored with the weather, I could go visit a place with snow. Sounds like a good plan to me. But until then...I'll continue enjoying this nice weather we're having for the time being.Suckapantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080877492785917645noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16596479.post-1456163377608103072008-07-21T00:29:00.003-05:002008-07-21T00:46:10.188-05:00OMG!!!

It scared me because I saw it out of the corner of my eye and i was pretty close to it. I first thought, dog, squirrel, and then when I actually looked at it I thought maybe possum of some sort. But then I remembered my boss telling me that city rats are the size of cats!!! I've never seen one before and thought OMG, this might just be it!!! It was so gross and scary looking with it mouth hanging open. I quickly grabbed my camera to take a shot of it and then bolted for it, for fear it was gonna run after me, bite me and infect me rabies! The thing is, it was so still it wasn't bothered by me at all, in fact it didn't even move after I took the picture and bolted, it just sat there. <br /><br />Ok, just did a little googling on what possums look like and I found a pic that looked like this one. But still, ewwwww. I still have no doubt this guy would have pounced at me and eaten me, he looked hungry!Suckapantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080877492785917645noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16596479.post-72862911595974636752008-06-28T00:56:00.001-05:002008-06-28T00:56:33.178-05:00Top 10 Reasons iphones Rule<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1i6xMHK4t50&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1i6xMHK4t50&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Suckapantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080877492785917645noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16596479.post-11415531569590375142008-06-22T23:07:00.003-05:002008-06-23T00:35:58.688-05:00Rainbow Hair<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJcdRhXTNLgA88wNd_oRyB4bgjVZREANsy1D6W7459aZm6UL3hVmzpqzTtDlB6E0A3tBlKVPSWzoOwTOsNGH1M7lyohr5j6pd7ElBF6aRSMKW7jXR0mqyXkeR2cQ27_7KWW19aLg/s1600-h/IMG_3396.jpg"><img style="display:block;

At first we were weary that it wasn't going to be good weather since it was raining at 10am but luckily the sun gods were in our favor. An hour later the skies cleared and it was beautiful out! The food was delicious and the beach was warm and wonderful! Ahhh, good times!

And didn't even realize it until halfway through eating it. At that point, I didn't want to throw it out cause i paid for an overpriced salad and I already ate half of it. I'm probably already gonna die from it, so I mind as well finish it. Soooo...maybe not the right mindset but anyhooo...if I happen to croak sometime soon, know it was death from tomatoes.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have any answers yet but all I can do is try to understand and change my outlook on life. I've decided to be more positive about things and be in a good mood everyday. Not that I wasn't trying to do this before but I think before I would just go with the flow and everyday was the same old same old. I felt nothing. <br /><br />Lately, I've been feeling an excitement inside of me. My heart beats faster as in anticipation for something great soon. I would like to start my day everyday excited, how great would that be? I'm going to do my best to start taking initiatives in my life and do things that will feed my excitement. Hopefully by doing all of this I will develop a passion that I am lacking in my life. <br /><br />Maybe all of this positive thinking is because Spring is finally around the corner...<br />I do believe that does has some impact on my emotions for sure. And hopefully this will be just enough to get my act together and do something worthwhile.Suckapantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080877492785917645noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16596479.post-80853072443748900762008-03-02T23:56:00.003-06:002008-03-03T00:05:37.681-06:00Dead EndLately, I've been feeling like I'm at a dead end. Is this an early quarter-life crisis??? I'm not sure. After college and finding a job there isn't much expected of you...besides getting married and having kids. But what else is there? I mean is that it? I think I just feel lost at what to do next. <br /><br />I'm lacking motivation and inspiration to do something that will fulfill my life. I'm searching for a meaning, a purpose...happiness. I feel stuck, stagnant, and bored. I need a life worth living! I'm merely just existing.Suckapantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080877492785917645noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16596479.post-24109351632881457582008-01-08T20:41:00.000-06:002008-01-08T20:49:53.843-06:00Human Tetris<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjS016ta-OvQa-X239vhmGKz8-0rlVr0sfKFRGa145nnev1lD1nXW6oTq0Jm-ZuZyHVVPI-tdnlFhXstVZOBbNcdETvIHZfqSrSjoYOkO49jCo36ZuvRLTT29qHoeGF8tOCMXkeA/s1600-h/Picture+2.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjS016ta-OvQa-X239vhmGKz8-0rlVr0sfKFRGa145nnev1lD1nXW6oTq0Jm-ZuZyHVVPI-tdnlFhXstVZOBbNcdETvIHZfqSrSjoYOkO49jCo36ZuvRLTT29qHoeGF8tOCMXkeA/s320/Picture+2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153301844781577938" /></a><br /><br />Human Tetris is a game show they play in Japan apparently.

I'm not complaining, all were very nice gifts and I enjoy them but don't be surprised if the next time you see me I'll be 100 pounds heavier!Suckapantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080877492785917645noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16596479.post-79794228138948885982007-12-20T10:04:00.000-06:002007-12-20T10:21:11.577-06:00Holiday MadnessI apologize for this crappy post, I haven't been sleeping or eating the sufficient amount that is needed this week...<br /><br />Oh my gosh, so much to do before I go home for Christmas on Saturday!!!! So much to do TONIGHT! ACK! This whole week was busy. And I've been coming home at 10:30pm every night this week exhausted and ready to just go to bed. Not because of work mostly but because of holiday shopping, screen printing and such. I'm mostly glad that my holiday shopping is about over now, just one more thing to get...<br /><br />Then it's off to do chores at home before sis and friend comes tomorrow night. Fun I know. Anyway, I'm glad to go home for a bit. Even though I will probably be busy then too. We're hosting my grandmother's birthday party at our house on Christmas night so there's tons to do at home. Oh gosh that reminds me...(ahhh! mental note, must stop at bank before going home.) Yeah, so that should be good times for sure. I haven't been home since last Christmas and even then it was only for a few days. So it'll be good to see everyone and catch up with them. Especially seeing all the little ones who probably aren't so little anymore. Which makes me feel old. ha. <br /><br />But the best part of Christmas is giving out gifts and seeing the recipient's face light up! Oh the joy of Christmas! :D <br /><br />Happy Holidays and Safe Travels to All!Suckapantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02080877492785917645noreply@blogger.com1
