this past month

I realized its been over a month since my last post so I wanted to catch you up a bit…..

Well, first I should explain that the main reason I havent been posting is because my computer is completely full.  It is full of photographs that I am too scared to move over to the external hard drive that I got specifically for this purpose.  And I hate posting without photographs so I am in this catch-22 situation that I need help getting out of.  Chris and I moved some of the photos over to the external a while ago but I almost had a panic attack when I tried to pull them back on my iBook and it wasnt working as smoothly as I thought it would (or should).  He is the computer genius in the relationship and I am scared to do anything without consulting him out of fear that I will permanently ruin everything.  And I also hate that I cant go back through all of my photos on iPhoto because most of them are on the external.  GAH!  Advice anyone?  I would truly appreciate it.

Ok so the past month has been pretty cool and I promise that I will follow up with photos when I get this situation worked out.

1.  I went to Miami with one of my best friends in Savannah, Andrea, to visit her mom on Key Biscayne which included a trip to the Fairchild Gardens, Jaguar (the best ceviche restaurant ever),  and Ikea (cheap frames for my show, yay!)

2.  I registered to vote!!!!!  This is a big deal for me because I am so not into politics and I really dont want to be selected for jury duty, but this upcoming election is huge and I am determined to participate in this historical event (and if it doesnt go my way I will be allowed to bitch and moan all I want).  Go OBAMA!!!!  (Big Chris, arent you proud of me?!)

3.  Ummmm….. what else….

4.  I have ADD/ADHD.  This may or may not be a surprise, but I do.  And I have realized that it is too overwhelming to deal with on my own despite my best efforts, so now I am getting help from my doctor and my school.  I think it is hard to admit that you need help sometimes, so I want to be up front and honest about my struggles in hopes that it will inspire someone else to seek help with their own.  When I started this blog I was determined not to censor myself and to just be me and I found myself hiding from certain things.  I want to be able to share my experiences without restraint, so hopefully you will accept my flaws.

5.  Savannah has a new farmers market and I am one of the Chairs of the Art Committee!  This is extremely exciting for more reasons than I can share right now but if you are in the Savannah area come check it out on Wed, 6 Aug (and wish me a belated happy birthday-5 Aug!) from 4-7pm at the end of East Broughton Street.  Starting in September it will be a weekly event!  We will have fantastic artists showing their earth friendly wears in addition to fantastic organic produce, local restaurants and businesses, so come out and show your support!

6.  My work is in the Pieced Work show at the Grand Bohemian Gallery in Savannah!

So those are just a few things that are going on in my life right now (besides my current obsession with So You Think You Can Dance!).  I’m going on vacation later this week to the Outer Banks, NC with my fam, which will be a super crazy fun time!  Chris and I will get this photo situation worked out so that I can post more frequently.  I hope you are all having a wonderful summer!!
