[life] work day

Merrik has been asking to go to work with Jim for months now and yesterday he finally gave in. Merrik was bouncing off the walls all morning. About 8:30am they were off. I checked in later and all was going well even though Jim wasn’t getting any work done. Now he knows how I feel! [...]
just one of those days
Today was just one of those days. I forgot my phone at home so when I ended up stranded in Orange when the Metrolink was stopped from the freight train derailment and hazardous waste spill, I had to borrow a phone to call Jim. That doesn’t sound so bad but I get constant flack from [...]
new name
I have been thinking about renaming my portrait photography business. I have considered a unique name that is only for the portrait side of my business, keeping all workshops, photography services and design under Thought Gap like my original vision. However, after talking to Jim about a unique name, I am seriously considering using Kristianne [...]
exasperation
I received the most upsetting email from one of my CSUF students yesterday. He threatened to complain about my harsh, demanding and unsympathetic teaching style to the Department Chair. I am still so taken aback I don’t know what to think. It seems he just wanted to get a B instead of a B- (his [...]
a long time coming
I finally rebuilt my office. I’ve been thinking about moving it to the other side of the house and getting new cabinets and desks for about 3 years now. I did it right before Christmas which was a huge undertaking and not such a bright idea but it’s done and I’m thrilled. With a little [...]
thought: first day of school
I went back to teaching today. Of course it was a long night last night as both Merrik and Maliea were restless. It always seems to work out that way on the night before an early or busy day. I took the 7:11am Metrolink out of San Juan Capistrano and returned on the Amtrak. The [...]
thought: chaos
I am in the process of redoing the office, art room AND playroom all at once. It is going to be chaos around here to say the least. I am switching rooms for the playroom and office so the “kids” area is on one side of the house and the “adult” area is on the [...]
thought: work
I have been so busy putting materials together for my business I am actually amazed at how much I’ve been able to get done. Maybe it’s because Maliea is so easy! I recently created a new photo website. See it here @. It’s a division of my Thought Gap Creative site. This is where I [...]
thought: time to kill
What do you do when you are sitting around waiting for the cable guy to come? Bake cookies! What should you be doing while you are sitting around waiting for the cable guy to come? Go through old clothes and cloth diapers to sell, install the last of the drip irrigation, dust, vacuum, organize recipes, [...]
