#33 - Feeling Lucky

Yes. I know, I KNOW! But sometimes... sometimes it lands on the good one. Every once in a while...

Comics

#32 - Waterproof

There is definitely something WRONG with me. I had learned that I no longer had the income I had been relying on - my entire life would have to be re-thunk.. again... yet, I ended up composing this comic in my head. I'm crying, trying to get ready for a

Comics

I thought that email was the most distracting thing when working on my computer. I guess it's my imagination - or maybe wishful thinking? Focus girl!

#25 and #26 The Best Week and The Worst Week

Dinner with a friend, a Swing Dance, dinner with The Fireman at Elixir (a fancy restaurant), and a play ("The Norman Conquests" at Northern Stage) and then a walk on a trail at Montshire Science museum. A pretty good week. In between those great moments... I was working, working, working

Comics

#24 - Hardships

Yep. I have a drafting table and everything set up nicely in my apartment... and yet, I usually end up working on the floor or on the couch. No matter, the cat will sit on me anywhere. And she prefers to drape herself over my right arm despite it's constant

Our school lab has the most incredible, graffiti-ied bathroom. It's absolutely COVERED with drawings and comments - and bathroom humor.

Well. Sometimes, I start to get a clue. Take a break girl! This is Lilah's inking of my sketch. She made a few improvements, took the cat to the play as well, and edited out the "bad words". SaveSave

Comics

Not a good start to the week and a huge project to finish... I never seem to learn my lesson about taking better care of myself!

Comics

Comics

#15 and #16 - MARCH - Cafe Day

Co-parenting... sucks. But sometimes the Universe finds little ways to even things out a bit. Just a bit. An ice storm. School delay. Alex was home from Vassar on break. He, my mom, and I spent the ENTIRE day at Schoodac's, our local cafe. Drawing, talking and laughing. And Lilah

Comics

#14 - Ogunquit - Tangle Fans

I miss my Zentangle Tribe. Ever since I decided to go back to school, I have kind of disappeared from the Zentangle World. I used to host retreats at the Beachmere Inn in Ogunquit, and now, a friend of mine hosts them. It felt really good to "sneak" in and

Comics

New England weather. My friend Debbee joined me for a microwave vacation by the sea.

Comics

#8 - Spring Break - Sunday

Sometimes I just have to get away! As far as I can go. Which is only as far as Bar Harbor, where my sister lives.

Comics

#7 - Kids Are Too Honest

This one needs explanation - I had a lot of surgery and radiation when I was a kid for a giant cell granuloma in my sinus. So my face developed a little wonky. I see it as a jelly bean shape - kind of dipped in on the right side.

Comics

Yes - I have a kid in college. I'm THAT old. He's an amazing kid - science, languages, music... he went to Cuba to sing with a music group from Vassar College.
