I recently upgraded my iPhone from my hand-me-down 3GS, to the 4S. Hip Hip Hooray! But that leaves me caseless for the time being and I fear every time I whip it out that I am going to drop this thing of beauty and break it. This one time, I dropped the first generation iPhone from 2 stories down onto concrete... yikes, AND, Yep, my friend who was on the other end was still talking on the phone when I ran down to get it, no joke, she had no clue. But that's neither here nor there. Here are some cases I recently am obsessing between.
A Friend of 'Friends of Type'
I know most of you have probably hear of these guys, especially if you are a fellow creative. While I was browsin' around the inter-webs in search of inspiration, I stumbled on these gems
These were posted by Erik Marinovich. But you can find more fun at Friends of Type.
Happy Halloween
No.22: I'm Off
...with no. 9 of my 30 before 30 list :) This happened last Friday. And now off to Portland in a few hours! Two down, 28 to go!
My 30 before 30 list
It's taken about a month since my 29th birthday and to get my list of things I'd like to accomplish before I turn 30. But with no further ado, here it is (in no particular order):
- get a dog
- learn calligraphy
- read more
- lose 10 lbs (and keep it off)
- PR in a race
- learn to knit
- take voice lessons
- get my 2nd tattoo
- freelance a job that is fun to design
- get new portfolio up
- learn to basic html/css
- minimize the "stuff" in my life (aka clutter)
- bake more
- make Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon
- journal regularly
- take more pictures
- draw/paint more
- make some jewelry
- strength train 2-3 times a week
- do more yoga
- buy less stuff
- travel somewhere I have not been
- do something nice anonymously
- surf
- charity work
- buy something from Lululemon (I know this is contradictory to number 21, but don't care)
- write more handwritten notes
- be more calm and patient
- mediate more
- wake up and watch the sunrise with someone I love
I realized it had been a while since I posted, and my good friend Lauren and I are going to get tattoos tonight after work. I will share pictures next week. Which made me realize I had this list of 30 before 30 that I never posted. So, with this post, number 8 is nearly scratched off the list :)
Reunion weekend
I am heading home to Palm Springs for a huge family reunion, (yes, people actually are FROM Palm Springs). We even have cousins flying in from Australia to attend. It's going to be an interesting weekend to say the least. I heard part of this little ditty on a Kate Spade promo and it reminded me of going away for the weekend. I will make it my anthem.
