francisco!

0 comments
meet francisco. he's my new toy. i'm quite happy with him. we were made for each other. well, technically, he was made to my order specifications. but made for each other is way more romantic sounding. it's been a long time coming. placed my order in july and finally picked it up this weekend. the neon didn't go down without a fight. this past week it decided it needed to squeeze almost $200 out of me before picking up francisco. 


it's been a blessed few months since i made the move to kansas city. so many things have come into my life and made me happier than i've been in a very, very long time. thank you to all of my friends and family for the tremendous support throughout this crazy year. you all mean the world to me.

students + technology

0 comments
how does your technology usage measure up? i agree with some of the statistics. i haven't used twitter as a learning tool in a classroom (aside from social media strategies) and know better than to contact a professor via facebook about classroom work. wonder if these statistics included campuses like northwest where students are provided laptops...

use your photoshop powers for good, not evil. ok...so this example isn't "evil." but the big question is why did apple eff up a beautiful image to roll out with lion? before and after pictures via this gizmodo article: why did apple obliterate a galazy form the lion wallpaper?





what exactly did they take out? see this animated gif from boing boing:

peanut

little peanut came back to my house with me for the week! he slept in my lap in the car all the way home and is already tuckered out in a nest here at the house. hopefully he's less fearful of his new environment tomorrow. for now, he's content chillin on the couch.



this last one is a shot of chuck on my new bed...for size comparison.

so...i decided to share some new phone pics adventures.

sangria + margarita swirl + happy hour = not so wonderful drink that I didn't even finish
because it tasted awful. but it looks beautiful!


pretty new cardigan! thanks to @melissawatson88 for providing moral support while shopping.


new bed! so excited to get back home and get a good night's sleep on it. 


periodic table of typefaces at my desk at work = looking like a cool kid.


sunset somewhere in iowa (who knew they got those?) on my way home. what a long freaking drive home friday. totally ready to be able to come home via I-29.


made my family go to big fred's this weekend. AMAZING. in the middle of a conversation my dad stops and looks at my mom "come here...come here. look.....boobs." tweeted this with #classydaddy


juice box for adults! was pretty excited when i found this while mom and i were shopping today. even better when her and i had the same light bulb moment when we saw it.  


 had this custom made for my birthday buddy, Stevi's baby shower. baby bean is going to look so cute in this! want one? check out the business here.
