slow blogging

My office blog is suffering - people on vacation, people busybusybusy with launches of top secret blahblahblah.
My home blog is floundering as well. (I never know the difference between Fluke and Flounder, fyi.)

BlogHer has me in for three pieces this month (which, believe me, I'm not complaining about) and I've been writing away! And the conference is in just a few short weeks.

And my home-life is fraught! Fraught, I tell you, as Middle is contemplating his future and it IS NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED. (Okay, maybe we did. A little.)

Youngest, in the meantime, is completely enthralled with his pre-college classes in town this month. He's been hither and yon with a camera and has been bent over a sketch book during the wee hours doing homework (this pleases me). He texts me during the day to tell me where he is and how beautiful his surroundings are. I've missed his enthusiasm over the past year or so as he was busy being VERY 16.

So, how about I toss some photos at you?



I need this on a sign. To hang over my desk. Or maybe over my sink.



A new book! By my idol.
I corresponded with Ms. Kalman a few months ago regarding sponges and buckets and ladders and am looking forward to her exhibit next spring.



Nice tee.

Anyhoo/how/hee, I'm off.
