Any good Halloween decorating tips out there?

ReDesign Numero Uno

A new look for my Tapestry of Life. Looks better, no?

The photo looks nicer than I expected it to as well… sadly it’s the last photo I took on my camera, back in early August for Dan’s bday. I’ve dug up the digi and plan to snap photos this weekend. Maybe I’ll get lucky and Dan will want to go to Milwaukee for a concert! Or perhaps we’ll retire to his condo with premarital counseling literature to read and college football to watch.

What’s on your plate for the weekend? Relaxation or Exasperation?

I leave you with a couple photos from the archive:

GO HAWKS!

A Good Place to Go: The Modern Wing

By Kristen Prosise, published in TravelHost Magazine September 2009

Enter with an open mind, the Art Institute of Chicago’s new modern wing that is home to over 1,000 works of art ranging from architecture and design to contemporary art, photography and European. Start outside, with easy access to the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, an ensemble might be performing on a lucky day. Take a stroll up the 620-foot bridge and arrive at the extension of the well-known, Art Institute of years past. However, this modern wing is different. New. Sophisticated. Fresh.

A newly drafted poem. Comments welcome, it needs work.

Get on the Wedding Wagon

Dan and I are getting married in 306 days. That seems far away…

It wasn’t until the past couple of months (we’ve been engaged since Christmas) that planning really started to get rolling. I always feel behind, with work and school as main priorities right now. But here’s some links to what we’ve found so far, for those of you who might benefit from local resources =)

The “O”

I will openly admit that I watch too much Oprah – okay, watched too much – I haven’t been home for the morning program since last winter and I’m sleeping by the time it reruns at 11pm.
