my kind of week

(a.k.a. this week's happy list...)

1. Monday: moving around my monitors and workplace set-up - it's that thing like moving your same old living room furniture around: feels like a whole new place

2. Tuesday: after a rough month for Cookie, seeing her return to her feisty, cuddly self

3. Wednesday: starting new painting classes!

4. Thursday: celebrating my dad's birthday at John Lithgow show then Black & Blue with family

5. Friday: touring Wendell Castle's studio! - So inspiring to see a team of highly skilled men & women creating wonderful pieces representing Wendell's vision. As always happens: through learning about their process, I gained better appreciation for the final pieces. I can't find good photos online (especially of the specific pieces we saw, his newest works) that quite convey how inviting the pieces felt in person - you just wanted to lay all over them. And at age 80, they say his studio is busier than it's ever been!

Bonuses, all week: catching up with Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Weeks around the globe... last week: NYC; this week: London + Milan! blah blah blah run around barefoot while the weather still allows!
