Cheers to FRIDAY!
I've got a new blog banner up if you want to click through... I love updating the photos each season. It's such a quick and easy facelift for the site and it gives me a chance to look back through recent posts to see what I've been sharing here. If you were just visiting for the first time today and looked at the banner you'd be like, "hmm, I guess this girl likes gardens, succulents, pizza dough, photos, family, highchairs that don't look terrible, ampersands, holding things up against the sky and coffee." And I'd be like "Nailed it! Welcome, weary Internet traveler! Can I interest you in some archives?"
(Speaking of archives, I am committed to getting them resorted and much more functional this summer.)
Speaking of blogging, I have a post in my head that I want to write called "anatomy of a blog post." It's a post about what goes into writing posts here. (I'm not sure exactly what "meta" means but I think this is it?) Churning out content is more of a science than an art for me. There is going to be a matrix to help explain how I develop posts. I might be discussing some basic math concepts. I'm excited. (And the coffee post is coming! Look for it next Tuesday - had to push it back because it was feeling like an infomerical around here!)
And speaking of the opposite of blogging, tomorrow we start to RELAX (on an airplane with an 11-month-old? Impossible!) NOT WORK. Last fall Paul requested a week of leave at the end of May. Back then, the future felt like a mirage (meaning awesome looking but totally unreal) and it was hard to imagine we'd get here. But we did! TIME OFF. TOGETHER. I have a few posts planned and there will be a podcast as usual but if I do everything correctly, my email response time will be slower. Most likely my Instagramming will be frequent (but that's nothing new).
We're headed out bright and early tomorrow. But right now? Bright and early today? I'm packing up your posters. Thank you, THANK YOU, for another successful launch of a MAKE29 edition. There are about 100 posters left and if you place an order by noon today, it will ship out before the weekend. (Otherwise it will ship out next week.)
Have a good one.
