Fith letter of the Latin alphabet.

Exercise - I'm becoming a little bit more conscious of calories. I love watching the little calorie counter on the treadmill go up up up. I think "ok, I know i ate X amount of calories because i read the packaging, i just burned off that one item." I don't recommend looking over at the girl's treadmill next to you to see her intensity and how many she's burned. One girl burned about 100 calories just running for 12 minutes with the treadmill flat. I was jealous but I don't enjoy running - I enjoy speed walking up hill but it takes me about 20 minutes to burn around 100 calories. I just have to remind my self it's ok to take a little longer to get to the same end. Plus, last night The Biggest Looser was on and i'm completely hooked on that show. It's very inspirational to be plotting along at the gym while watching other people dramatically change their life. Tonight is Pilates.

Engrave Your Book - This site will engrave your Moleskin journal/sketchpad/lifeline lazer engraved wtih a design of your choosing or you can pick one premade. What's really cool is you can also have the spine engraved with a title. What a great idea! I've never used a Moleskin but i might have to order one just for this reason. For those of you that love Moleskin do you find that they'll lay relatively flat w/o breaking the spine? Also, is it easy to scan any sketches you might put in there?

Death - The grieving processes is an odd one. Trying to remember that I do not have to absorb M.'s moods, that i can be calm and understanding. I'm having a bit of a hard time as well. It is more dealing with the realization that my grandparents wont be around for forever either. I really miss my family.

Dogs - Nitro was so bad yesterday, he kept going in the house! I don't think he's over his bladder infection even if he did finish his medication. He and Z kept getting into it as well. It's so annoying to try to break up their dog fights. I'm not really afraid of them anymore but still don't want to get bit. Not really sure what causes them to go off on each other either.

Dance - this will get its own post.

Collaboration - Some how I have now involved my self with 3 collaborative projects.

• Book illustration - hardly started
• Zine book - only have to design 1 page but print 45 pgs.
• Vision Illustration - one thing led to another and i got contacted by a woman who has a number of written visions from God that she would like illustrated. Normally i would feel really intimidated to try something like this but I just have the impression i should work on it. Also, i have the delusion it will go quickly.

Car - For a long time i have been wanting to put some kind of decal design on my car. I think i finally found the place to buy it from: Blik. They say they're removable which is what i like to hear. I like the circles and the lines. The custom is an interesting idea as well....
I would also like to purchase some decals for my living room wall - maybe a geometric pattern. I'm pretty sure something cool could be done with the Undersea.

Blink Prose - Type in a word, a poem, a quote, a phrase and they'll quote you on how much it would cost for you to have a decal for your wall.

April Letters - A

National Blog Posting Month has gone monthly, no longer a November only group. It has also started themes for you to post about if you so desire. I desire to post about April's theme which is letters. I'm following the theme loosely. Sure, I might post literal "dear so&so" letter but I'll be focused more on each individual letter of the alphabet. There are 26 letters which leaves me 4 days to talk about misc. things. Of course, i'm positive i'll throw in random tid bits of life.

***
A - the first letter of the Latin alphabet. It is subcatagorized as a vowel.

Words for the day:

• April - Can you believe we're already to April?!


• Alphabet - What i'll be focusing on this month


• Airport - 30 days till i leave for Texas on American Airlines

• Art - the art group that i'm part of us is going through a sudden change. The leader of the group suddenly resigned stating she had too much going on to lead the group successfully. Which is understandable given some things but it could have been handled so much better than a group email. There was an emergency meeting of sorts called 2 weeks ago to further discuss her choice and what the group was going to do. The complication was aroused when the church we were associated with chose to disband the group instead of see about appointing a new leader. Tonight is a meeting about where we'd like the group to go and who do we want to lead us there. I'm sure it will be interesting but intense time tonight.


• Artist Way - I've been reading through the book chapters at a time and marking anything that strikes my fancy. My plan is to finish the last chapter this week. Then officially go through the exercises and do my daily pages.
