The ReEmergence.

Welcome back to life, kids. I've had such a crazy past month that if I haven't talked to you, my entire life is upside-down. The thesis exhibition and defense are complete- all that is left is turning in the book with a year's worth of research. In other news, Mom and Dad's house in NoVA sold after 3 days on the market- still waiting on something to happen with the Chesapeake house. Seriously, if you want to buy it, I'll let you. Mom and Dad put the down payment on the RV, and traveling life will commence when I am in Ireland. And between now and graduation, but after the book turning-in, I will be moving my life to a storage unit in Texas. Plans after Ireland are tbd, but it's looking more and more like I will be traveling with Mom and Dad in the RV for a couple months. So- the highly anticipated and exhaustipating thesis exhibition- here are some pics. So excited that it's over, and staggering at the amount of work that was put into it.


These first two are pictures of my exhibition space: The top is a photo of the entire thing, and the bottom is a closer shot.


My thesis model... This is what I got stitches for back at the end of the Fall semester...
Farris' tape art! Amazing, huh?

Hibernation...

I'm considering moving out of my hibernation mode. Possibly. Sometimes, it's just best to take some time off from it all and regroup. So in the meantime, here's a picture.

Vacation House

With two contracts on the house in NoVA, I'm one step closer to my vacation home.

stress test

Here is a very quick test to determine your stress level. Read the following description completely before looking at the picture.

The picture below was used in a case study on stress levels at St. Mary's Hospital. Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are identical. A closely monitored, scientific study revealed that, in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical, a person under stress would find differences between the two dolphins. The more differences a person finds between the dolphins, the more stress that person is experiencing.

Look at the photograph, and if you find more than one or two differences, you may want to take a vacation, or at least get a massage.

2nd house on the market...

And here is the highly anticipated second house on the market!! This one is in Northern Virginia, and has it's own website- check it out here: 4111minstrelllane.com

Furniture.

It's crunch time for the Thesis. Postings will be sparse, at best. In my quest for the perfect furniture for my retreat center, I came across these from propertyfurniture.com... and I fell in love. Enjoy.
