Good idea from my friend-- 10 Goals for 2010! Some of these are big goals, mind you-- like "Get a job." That's not like a single-step process as I'm sure you all know. Ha!
1. Get a new job with the renewed focus in project management in creative services.
2. Get myself on a normal sleep schedule of 12 am- 8 am.
3. Go to the gym at least three times a week. Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are the possibilities while avoiding rush-hour times.
4. Actually follow the Atkins lifestyle into the next phase by finding my maximum carbohydrate index--aka how many carbs I can eat in a day that my body will actually burn, so that I can add more diverse foods to my repertoire.
5. Drink 64 ounces of water a day. Diet Coke is not water, Lucy.
6. Talk to my Grandfather more, at least twice a month, just to catch up. And to e-mail him more too.
7. Read. Something. Anything... more than WSJ online. Just got the collected works of Poe.. that might be a good place to start.
8. Continue to find age and profession-appropriate clothing. As much as I love my Black Sabbath and Aerosmith tee shirts, I know there is a way to feel like ME and still look at least slightly sophisticated.
9. Update my website with new work on a regular basis, at least once a month. However: BLOG cool stuff more often than that.
10. Get crafty and start my tote bag project. Village Discount and my sewing machine need to be my best friends in 2010.
That's what I'm thinking thus far.

what is going on here?
hi everyone,
sorry i have been so lame with the blog. now that holiday retail is letting up some...
done some interesting things and have seen some cool stuff.
1. went to One of a Kind, huge craft show at the Merchandise Mart. saw stuff that-- for sure-- i can make or that i have made. if those people are making money, then i can, too. just need more time. but, def. did research and saw what works and what doesn't, at least in that venue!
2. grace-- see this woman's work: http://www.designspongeonline.com/; she also has a blog and an etsy site. she is trinidadian, canadian, dutch. yah, she is hot. but the point is, she makes felt stuff that you would like! (thanks for the felted pom pom! i am going to make it into a necklace tonight!) everyone, grace finished up the semester at SAIC with a couple of installations and a performance piece! she also got more money so she can stay!!!!
3. went to studio with friend, nancy. (f-ing COLD. never heard of HEAT, i guess. shit!) but worked on some jewelry. have a line in mind- why is gold so f-ing much right now? maybe i can make it plated.
4. lucy- websites and t-shirts just not happening. we're too tied-up in alessi! need a game plan. everyone, lucy has been getting her work apps and informational interviews together which is good for her and bad for me! her website is up with portfolio. it is www.lucretiabrower.com. lucy, i like the layout, the portfolio and the resume section! the "x marks the spot" is a freaky piece. you SHOULD do your blog on that site; i believe i did post a comment to you in response to your question.
5. desmond- need your help to write some apps/proposals. just don't have the time. can regroup and discuss if we want to pursue a joint venture. working on writing, but maybe hit a snag? in book-writing.
6. got into that canadian show, toronto, i think. will find out on the 5th if any of my pieces sold. potential for some bucks if they did.
7. paul has TWO big shows in NY. nuff said. but is also apartment hunting.
8. em has successfully negotiated a work/work-home schedule with her office. fingers crossed that she'll make it through another round of cuts at MIT.
9. christine has finished her first round of advanced, indep. studies with a whole group of students. is also applying for some gigs that she will be able to interview with at CAA (college art association) in chicago in feb. (SOOOOO out of my league at this point.) Chrissy, do you know that both shannon and matt left SAIC. now they are hiring full-time in ceramics again. CALL KITTY!
10. rob has been commissioned to do three paintings. cool! at least one has been completed. pretty awesome. making money on your work. congrats.
hope you all had a good holiday. happy new year to you all. you know where to find me...
