Last week was crazy. I spent far too much time at work trying to get everything ready for the conference. I learned a lot about Illustrator in the process, and thankfully the posters are done! Of course, every time I look at them now, I see something that should’ve changed or didn’t print correctly, or… but that’s all right. I just need to smile and nod and let it go.
Anyway, I meant to do this before I left, but here are the pictures of the day from last week. There’s clearly internet access for me available, so I’ll share my Italian adventures with you later, but for now, enjoy last week’s pictures!
Tuesday, 3 June:
I made my own egg rolls on Tuesday night. I had some friends who were in town (more on that another time perhaps), so I didn’t take a lot of pictures of the process, but they look like egg rolls! (And I thought there were pretty tasty too.) Go me!
Wednesday’s picture was already up. I got a new haircut! I needed a trim anyway, and I thought I’d get rid of most of my blonde highlights from last year. I tend to grow out my hair, cut it all off and donate it, rinse and repeat. Locks of Love doesn’t accept bleached hair, so I thought I should cut it off before growing out my hair in earnest again. Besides, short hair is nice for the summer.

It was getting late and I hadn’t yet taken my daily picture, so I started looking around the office for inspiration. I settled on this Einstein action figure my uncle got me a few years ago. He looks mildly frightening like this!
Friday, 6 June
Here you get a glimpse of my poster. The dotted lines printed with the dots spaced too far apart, so I had to fill them in with a fine-tipped marker.
Saturday, 7 June
The day before leaving! I was a bit burned out after working all week, and didn’t really want to do much, even pack. Still, some things needed to be done - like transpanting the tomato plant into a larger container. So we did. And we transplanted the sunflowers into the tomato plant’s old pot.
And now, I leave you. Until next time!
