Life of a Renaissance Gal
Reading… Daisy Jones & the Six. It took me a while to get into this tell-all about a fictional rock band. It’s told as an ongoing interview with the members of the band. For what it is, it’s a surprisingly slow read. I wouldn’t say that I’m loving it. But I am enjoying it, and…
Reading… Don’t Go There. I love a good travel memoir, so I was excited when my book club decided to read this one. I’m about three quarters through it and was surprised to see that I’ve been to two of the places he writes about: Istanbul and Jerusalem. While we did see some protestors in…
A Zeppelin flying above the more than 4,000 year old pyramids of Giza in Egypt, 1931 via History in Pictures Do you have big weekend plans? It’s been a long week. I’m looking forward to lounging outside and reading my book club book this weekend. Only in Oklahoma. Friends lives on. My dream. I’m intrigued…
Reading… The Girl He Used to Know. This book was a bit more in the romance category than what I usually read. But it was an unconventional romance between a woman on the spectrum and a man she met in college. Their college romance ended but they rekindle things when they run across each other…
Cutting a sunbeam, 1886. Photograph by Adam Diston via History in Pictures I love this so much! Now that we have a Costco, I’m taking notes from posts like this. I don’t think Oklahoma City is populated enough to play patriarchy chicken. Getting really excited about this reboot; so much so that I think I’ll…
Reading… One of Us is Lying. This was another of my library reserves. It was a pretty quick read. While I was not completely surprised by the conclusion of this mystery, I did enjoy the story. This is one where things aren’t what they seem and the characters grow and change. I recommend this one;…
Original Prototype of Mt. Rushmore in 1941 before funding ran out via History in Pictures Oops! A carrot made of meat? Why? Austin Kleon on climbing mountains: I hate lines and nothing would turn me into an angry ghost more than dying while waiting in one. My thoughts exactly. A pair of Wes Anderson colored…
Did you have a good weekend? I’ve been working on a pattern for what seems like forever. It has some gradients and texture in it and I think that keeps crashing Illustrator. It’s been a long and frustrating process. Yesterday was dark and dreary – a perfect day for napping. I took advantage of that….
London, 1900 via History in Pictures I love a good life hack. A good reminder. This may be the best thing on the internet. I would love to stay here someday. This house! This is so cool. Summer camp for adults. Good to know. Oh my. Have a great weekend!
I did not intend to take such a big break from the blog. The last few weeks got away from me – I haven’t been getting a lot of sleep (mostly due to Charlotte’s storm anxiety and the neverending thunderstorms). In addition to that, there have been some changes at the law office and things…
