Happy Friday! A little illustration I made for a friend – I FINALLY started making progress on the custom illustrations and will start shipping them out over the next few weeks. Note to self: learn how to under-promise and over-deliver instead of the other way around.<\/p>\n

This illo reminded me of how, late last night, our neighbor texted me for help. A bird mysteriously appeared in her house and was flapping wildly around in her bedroom. The odd part is that nothing was open — no doors, no windows, no vents. I sent M over to settle the matter, and though they weren’t able to identify the fowl, it\u00a0looked a little like a crow (but with brownish-orange markings) and was big<\/em>! M maneuvered the enigmatic bird out the front door with a broom and all was well.<\/p>\n

********************<\/p>\n

Friends, I have to share this\u00a0adorable Powerpoint that K made (I wanted to keep the voiceover, but the file got too big so screen shots only):<\/p>\n

\"Slide1\"<\/a> \"Slide2\"<\/a> \"Slide3\"<\/a> \"Slide4\"<\/a> \"Slide5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It may not be riveting content for those of you not passionate about frogs as K is, and I wish you could hear her voice because it really makes the presentation.\u00a0And that last slide! Killed me. She made the whole thing herself, including figuring out how to do the voiceover. It wasn’t even a school assignment – she did it purely for fun.<\/p>\n

********************<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful, wonderful weekend!<\/p>\n

February’s done<\/em>
\nI better be careful or<\/em>
\nthe year will fly by*<\/em><\/p>\n

*What??? It can’t be March already! One of my big goals for 2015 is to be more present (even though it makes me squirmy to type those words — I have weird issues with a lot of words\/phrases) and I clearly have my work cut out for me. Speaking of being present, I checked this book<\/a>\"\" out from the library as an afterthought since K wanted to stay longer to read, and I ended up loving it. I finished it last night and parts of it made me cry.\u00a0I hope to\u00a0be a wise American one day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
