Snow

A look at the snow falling outside.. still..

Yum.

If you click on these photos you can actually smell how good it was!

So every month or two we get the super treat at work of having Chefs from the Whole Foods store come in and feed us very amazingly good food, and this time they actually shared the recipe! They fed us what you see above, a butternut squash quiche. Only I actually made that tasty quiche in the photo myself for our dinner tonight! It tastes every bit as good as it looks too, even without bacon. (haha)
It was relatively easy with exception to skinning and chopping the squash. That is the huge pile of squash skin after I finally finished peeling in the top photo. Of course the onions were the most painful part. I still haven't put my glasses back on, but the vinegar trick seemed to help out a lot, I should have tried it much earlier into the chopping.

Roaming Photos

Our latest assignment was to roam around the campus and take photos for a collage. I went for the old rusty stuff since there is always plenty of that kind of thing around. I have some really interesting shots, but they might gross out the average viewer. (and its only rust!) Above is the top of a fire hydrant, I don't know if they painted them such a blah yellow, or they have faded that much over the years.

What is happenin?

Busy as always trying to balance work and school. This weekend is the MS Bike Ride, which I plan on doing half of - 80 miles. We will be riding from Peculiar To Sedalia, and stopping for lunch halfway in Warrensburg MO. Our cycling team from work has dwindled to two people, so we are going to try to ride with the Cerner group, which should be huge. There were over 1700 riders pre-registered for the event, it should be a lot of fun!

Here is another GD project, combining two or more images.

Well Hello!

I haven't been blogging, because it usually relies upon me having a camera and running around taking photos of things. Well, the camera has gotten a probably deserved vacation this summer, and nothing really exciting has happened yet. I have started my newest year of college with a change of scenery at Park University, in quaint little Parkville MO. I hopefully will have one more year after this one, with my Graphic Design degree, and possibly an English Minor.
Here are some fun little projects from my intro to graphic design software class.

Bored & Jobless

I never did like not having a job, and I still don't. Even when I had paid severance from Grapevine I still preferred to go out and get a job. So it stinks that the only job I have is looking for a job! Between job hunting I've decided to enter some Graphic Design contests for everything from kayaks to post/invitation cards. Above is a miniature of my kayak design, except I do not know if the kayak name is appropriate, it is a new watercraft for surfing river rapids. The actual design in Illustrator is over 7ft long and takes up about 44MB of memory.
I hope I get a job before my free trial of Illustrator/Photoshop/Dreamweaver runs out..

Happy Moms, Grandmas, Aunties etc!

The one & only Grandma Irving!
