What does it look like I'm running here? Monkey business? Good, because I AM.

I just finished a project for a baby shower. It was the perfect excuse to finally learn some of the ropes of Adobe Illustrator CS4. I usually avoid it like the plague and stick to Adobe PhotoShop CS4. I know, bananas, right?

It's come to my attention that a few people want to subscribe to my blogs but don't know how. Wonder no longer! Here's my guide to RSS (I hope you have a salt shaker near because this guide should be taken with at least one or two grains.)

What is RSS? RSS stands for Read Some Stuff. Or Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary. Choose your own adventure here.

My Dwight bobblehead followed me almost two years ago from Waco, Texas, to Denver, Colo. And I brought it home from work last week as I made the transition from employed to self-employed.

Dwight encourages me, nodding his head in agreement as I type. That's especially appreciated today, as I breach the gap between "I want to write full-time someday" to "I'm a freelance writer."
