Minced Words!

July 26, 2020July 20, 20214 Comments

The End Note: I was doodling in my sketchpad today just for practice and the above sequence happened. It took maybe a hour (maybe) from start to finish --- from pencil doodles, to stupidly laughing at self (because it's probably not all that funny, but I found it hilarious), and then pouncing on my art … Continue reading Minced Words!

My COVID-19 Check In

March 25, 2020October 15, 20205 Comments

I am the practice manager of a private dental practice, where I also currently serve as the receptionist and conduct initial screenings for COVID-19 for our office. Dental offices, if they choose to remain open, have been mandated by the state of Florida to only see patients with emergencies in order to keep toothaches and … Continue reading My COVID-19 Check In

Plans Foiled by Kitty’s Devil Mode

February 24, 2020February 24, 2020Leave a comment

This weekend I babysat a kitten named Cocoa for my brother Gabriel. I was so excited! I was going hang out at his condo while chilling with the little fluff and getting a ton of thumbnail sketches done over an awesome 3-day weekend of peace and fun. Well, I have never owned cats, therefore I … Continue reading Plans Foiled by Kitty’s Devil Mode

Thoughts on the New Year

January 7, 2019January 17, 20192 Comments

Clearly I didn't finish all those scenes/stories before the January 1st. That's okay (I've come to terms that I'm always behind on writing). I had good times with family this December. Now the kids are headed back to school, Anton's back at university, and the adults are all returning to regular workdays. Anton and I … Continue reading Thoughts on the New Year

Sneaky Santa

October 18, 2018October 25, 20183 Comments

Today I'll tell a personal story (I get much writing inspiration from my relationships with family so it's important to me to remember and/or record favorite things). This story came up in a conversation earlier this week and it made me chuckle. Storytime!    One December about 5 years ago, we grown kids set about … Continue reading Sneaky Santa

Tales Told by Family

January 31, 2018February 1, 20182 Comments

Remember that phenomenon I nicknamed "The Man in the Attic"? Well, I like to think my immediate family also possesses a creative streak, and frequently uses it entertain others by recounting real life adventures in animated and imaginative ways. Or (in my father's case) sometimes they fabricate tall tales just to see who falls for … Continue reading Tales Told by Family

National Park Adventures

August 30, 2017October 16, 20173 Comments

This summer my brother Anton executed a solo crosscountry road trip from Florida to California, and back again. After seeing all the photos and video footage he collected, I'm super jealous (dude, take me with you next time!). Instead of regaling you with accounts of his national park travels, you can watch the fun 3-minute … Continue reading National Park Adventures

Wild Story Idea from Life

August 11, 2017August 11, 20175 Comments

SUBJECT: The Man in the Attic      We moved into a new house toward the conclusion of my high school career. One difference I noticed between our former 1-story home and new 2-story house -- the sounds. Only In Real Life...    Let's get you oriented: If you sat on the main couch to … Continue reading Wild Story Idea from Life

Which Aunt/Uncle Are You?

November 8, 2016November 9, 20166 Comments

My college history professor once said "among every set of siblings there's at least one who, if had power, would try to take over the world" (not sure if she was serious). My siblings and I don't fall under this category (95% sure) but we certainly aren't lacking for loud personalities. I can only imagine how we look to … Continue reading Which Aunt/Uncle Are You?
