For some reason my iPhone restored a backup from early April. Bittersweet to see texts from the 1st weeks we dated, on the week we split.
Tonight’s time w/ my best girlfriend ever, @DrAmanda, was exactly the healing I needed. Her & I are so kindred spirits. I love her so much!
Re: 911 (this is what I heard) true, you get sent to a random call center that’s possibly not even in the city you’re in (via @jenniffurr)
Dammit. I haven’t been hungry all day & of course now lying in bed & 2am my body finally wants food. Sorry! I won’t sleep well if I eat now.
Whoa. I just heard that 911 doesn’t work if you’re calling from a cell phone. Seriously, could that possibly be true? If so, that’s insane.
What did you learn this past week? →
We’re trying out a new thing at Bamboozled where we have a question of the week. So as soon as we get to the meeting, we break out the paper & pens and free write for a bit. This week’s question…
RT @bamboozledyouth: Our question of the night is “What did you learn this past week?” Here’s mine: http://tr.im/ruTW (new post on the blog)
Ug. Today has been such a wash. Off to BAM (@bamboozledyouth), which will lift my spirits, I’m sure. Can’t wait to see @DrAmanda later, too.
For all of you who’ve asked who, when, what, where & how… I wrote a blog post about it: http://tr.im/rtf3 Thanks again for being here.

The weekend before though JD took me up to Napa. Total surprise, and such a…
Finally back online and making calls to cancel cards & such. Thank you sooo much for your incredibly thoughtful & caring replies. <3
I think I’m in shock. The police took a report, but honestly it’s just insane I was literally inches from a gun…& everything is gone.
got robbed by gunpoint tonight. :( lost my entire purse full of stuff, wallet, iphone, etc. :( intense.
FYI I don’t have my phone anymore. I’ll be back on my computer some time tomorrow. (at my friend’s now)
seriously you wouldn’t think it’d be so hard to find recycled kraft gift boxes with a window! amazing how many hours I’ve spent researching.
Looking forward to meeting a new friend for a drink & then heading to a fun #entrepreneur dinner arranged by @danmartell! #thefutureisbright
NY/Brooklyn Trip →
After going to Colorado at the end of May for my little sister’s HS Graduation, I hopped straight from there to NY, where I spent a week staying at my friend Karrie & Wayne’s in Brooklyn - we…
The alley where I park downtown is seedier than ever today. Must be a new shipment of crack in town. Tons of wasted/passed out bums. #sad
Which, ftr, I love a lot better. I also love knowing my client trusts me. I know this is a design we’ll both be more excited about! yay.
Sweet, the diecut samples for my new WilloToons Baby box gift sets (not up on the site yet) got here. Fun to finally see them & pick a fav!
Didn’t like how the first design turned out (it was tricky w/ gradients & I didn’t like the halftone dots), so moving on to Plan B design!
RT @spangley: (via @jjtoothman) Want to design web sites for music clubs? Opportunity for in-house contract web design work @ticketfly.

I think I forgot to tell ya’ll, I was commissioned by @Microsoft to do a custom t-shirt for them! Headed to the East Bay for a press check.
Slightly amazed at how fantastic I feel today. I feel sexy, alive & free. And, it’s TUESDAY!
RT @ryanchris: More intriguing than the answers I don’t know are the questions I never even thought to ask. (indeed)

RT @kimlaama: why am i still here? and by here, i mean at work. time to stop being nice and start saying no. (here, here, sister!!)
Awesome fluke that I turned on live TV: Guess who’s on @JimmyFallon tonight? Andy Samberg + Lonely Island performing “I’m On a Boat” - YES!!
So many things I want to tweet. So many eyes that should not read said tweets. So many ways I need a private twitter feed. #censored
so happy to have found my pumpkin pie lip stuff, from @bathinginluxury, in the pocket of these pants today… it’s my fav! http://tr.im/r9Mb
a big thanks to sweet @cbooties for the amazing massage this morning! if any of you are in need, I cannot recommend her highly enough. xo
For those wondering, Kazoo was indeed meeping at the gate in eager anticipation of my arrival. :) Now for a comforting hot shower & Zzzz’s.
I wish I could text my kitty to tell him I’m on my way home & he better get his fuzzy ass inside by the time I get there. :p
Traffic jammed to a complete stop on 101 S, just north of the Cesar Chavez exit (mine). Probably an accident. Hoping everyone’s ok.
Oof. Finally home. That trip should have taken me < 8 mins, but it must have been bad. They shut down 101 completely & had everyone exiting!
