Spiraling Life

Been a bit since I posted anything life related; here's update and sundry.

Tidbits:

Married 7 months now, still twitterpated. I have a fantastic husband. He brought a dozen red roses to me at work recently - just because. Now if I can just keep him from leaving screwdrivers and spare parts in random places. (Came home to a clutch on the stove once...)

Working as the Design and Copy/Print manager for the Office Depot in AU and really enjoying the creative side of it - I'm seriously considering going back to school for a degree in Graphic Design because of how intrigued I am by the field.

Jack, the world's perfect ferret, died peacefully at an ancient 9 years old. We're missing him. All the other critters are well, even if every one is insane. 4 cats - Mara, Pixel, Luna, and Gizmo; 2 bettas - Kibble and Tidbit (i.e. Bits). There is a distinct possibility of needing to shave Pixel for the summer because of hair overgrowth and matting. I promise to share photos.

Trying to journey, travelling in a spiral.

As to why I vanished...

Projects in progress:

Lots.

• Working on my New Year's resolution of cataloging the hoard I call a book collection. It can be browsed here. I'm nowhere near finished.
• Spring cleaning and rearranging; the military brat in me wants to move, the bank account says no. Chris is putting up with lots of furniture shuffling right now as a compromise to my demanding id.
• Idle craft projects of cross-stitch, knitting, and painting.
• The ever-present video games: Mario Galaxy and FFTactics mainly, with some Go and indie goodies on the side.
• New Song of Ice & Fire book soon (George R.R. Martin), so doing a full reread. By the by, HBO doing a mini-series and it's promising.
• Exploring graphic design techniques; recently created a frame-less collage of a few of our engagement photos.
• Related to the organizing; sorting/filing the plethora of papers and notes scattered throughout the house. Fiction, verse, articles... it's another archive.

Hopefully I'll be posting more on here. Not sure as of yet in what vein.

Ja ne!
