my return from nowhere

it's been a while since i have posted...{ as i am sure you noticed}

i should have a grand story about where i have been, but i haven't been doing much of anything to be honest {i know. boring}

i spent my spring break in manhattan getting some things done with a few small day trips thrown in to topeka and kc

i did a little shopping: i got new running shoes and a few odds and ends for europe {yay}

i went for a few really great runs: loving trails these days, but it needs to dry up and warm up!

i researched and read: a little for my thesis and a little reading for class {wish i could start a new book for fun}

i did some cooking: mostly grilling with lots of veggies

all in all i had an enjoyable week and avoided spending {too much} money ... now i am looking forward to the weeks to come: i am ready to get busy with school and finish projects and for the weather to go back to the beautiful way it was last week {i am over winter}

page turning + creative yearning

"i bend the pages

of yet another book"

here i am surrounded by papers and books {and ironically listening to the books}

working on the last few assignments of semester two in graduate school...

i have been in a creative mode for the last few weeks and while i've been working on my {not so creative} papers i find myself doodling and sketching on the side...

i am getting excited for christmas break so i can channel some of that creativity. . .into something more than a few sketches...

i will try to share some of what i have been working on {hopefully soon}

well back to work i go. bye bye for now.

conversations with {coffee}

Today as I thought of all the work I have ahead of me in the weeks to come I looked at my warm frothy latte and felt as though I could do anything.

{perhaps I can}
