Create Me a Life

I spend about 4 hours every morning with job hunt stuff, and then I'm off to have a life. It's easier said than done. In my mind, another job would relieve all stress, but I'm trying. I know I'll never get this time again. I just don't think I'm that great at teaching myself things. Time management is really challenging without a set schedule.

So any way, this week I downloaded a trial version of Indesign to try and become familiar with it, just in case said job would like me to be. Here is my first project (because I couldn't think of anything else except for my love for Mr Smith).

I then worked on things to add to my Photo page: click here. I wanted something more interactive, but when I use blogger instead of my own website, I don't think I have many options. I would like to create an online portfolio/magazine to include more than just photos, but that sounds like money and nerd smarts.  Any way, do you need a brochure, a card, an ad created? I need some realistic ideas.

  1. Hey! I loved this post. I've only worked with InDesign a few times, but it was a little intimidating. How do you feel about designing Hudson's birthday party invites? Is that something you could maybe do? I would do it, but I have no clue where to even begin. Let me know if you are interested and we can work out the details. E-mail me corbett.abby@gmail.com

    Thanks!

And so it begins, again

At what point do you ... 1. Keep holding on waiting for inspiration to come 2. Try something different 3. Let go & walk away I'd say most of us are usually somewhere in between #1 & #2, but there are occasional moments where I find myself locked into another Jane Austin film with some oreos & milk ignoring reality all together.  Today, I'm trying to rise above some level of complacency & clear my mind at your expense. Mr Smith & I had a good run of it, but since blogs became obsolete in 2017 while Instragram chained us all to algorithms, I had no audience nor desire to write in this world. But times change, after it murders our souls, and alas we are famished for an authentic keyboard with less distractions again. So, let's catch up. They say it comes in threes... Since our job change in 2017, we experienced three more moves, three additional job changes (that don't necessarily align with the moves), and three additional children.  2018-2022 were ver...

Breaking Silence for Religion

I've never been good at being concise. I like words too much. I think outloud. And I haven't had time to blog all these conversations & posts & mental thoughts and it's eating at me to write it all down, to get it out there. These are some words that no one understands anymore: love, tolerance, faith, forgiveness, covenants, judgment, respect, moderation, self-worth, humility, equality...at least if they say they do, I wouldn't believe them. In truth, I think we should be forever understanding what these words mean. Yet I hear people affirming over & over again in their actions & with their voice that they want to be right and they want you to know it & accept the choices they're making. So much for democracy & freedom. They might say "to each his own" but I'm not idealistic anymore, people don't really believe that.  I reference "the world" a lot. Let's clarify what I mean. We can start with Holly...

We're patiently waiting

Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates.  I'm okay with not needing a changing table.  It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too.  Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . .  Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes.  And even a mobile.  Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...
