the e-zine that i do the design and webmastering for at work won an award at the iabc (international association of business communicators) region 5 conference. still not sure quite yet what we won, but we won something. yay! *pats self on back* :)
i'm glad it's friday. i'm sure people all over the world share this sentiment, but i'm really glad it's friday. :) i think nick and i are going to go see 'my big fat greek wedding' - people keep telling us how good it is. tomorrow, hammered dulcimer fun-ness in houston. sunday i might be helping friends scrapbook three very special books. one of the women has terminal brain cancer and is trying to get scrapbooks set up for her sons. if she feels up to it, we can hopefully get these finished in a day. we can at least get them layed out and sticky-notes stuck in with captions and stories about the pictures - that's the important part. makes me think, really, about what's important in life and about the rich treasure of family stories and the like that my parents and relatives have passed down to me. i guess that's part of the reason i'm working on the family genealogy...aside from the fact that my mom thinks i'm the only one who will really get the job done...well, that and she wants me to write a book about the family too. (dreaming big, she is. a designer? yes. a writer? that's debatable.)
i have to wonder sometimes why i'm always in such a hurry lately. rush here, rush there. got to get this done before...before what? most of this stuff is unimportant. the world won't end in the next second if i don't get it done. i don't have to prove myself to anyone, really. no one is expecting me to be perfect, except for me. (ah, the curse of the perfectionist.) i guess that's why being a "pixel pusher" (haha - a graphic designer) suits me so well. i can eyeball a design to the pixel now. rather scary, i think.
i dropped my car off again at lunch. it's ready for pick up and should be happy now - new brakes and axel boot and air filter. it's an expensive possession, that's for sure, but one that makes a lot of the rest of my life possible.
guess i'll wrap up the day now. have a great weekend!
