my life

I'm a professional blogger!

Recently I was contacted by GreenOptions.com a new web site on "greening the good life." They are just forming and wanted me to be a part of the blogging team. I was a little surprised that my name had gotten out as a "green blogger" but apparently people do actually read my blogs, especially Our Volksvegan Adventure and unplug, which both have an environmental bent. I guess having a blog addiction can pay off!

Anyway, I will now be writing a weekly post on the Green Options blog about green/sustainable design, art, and culture. My weekly columns should appear on Friday, starting this week, so be sure to check out GreenOptions.com then! My first post is going to discuss the Greenpeace 'Green My Apple' campaign. There are quite a few talented writers on the team and the blog has been very interesting so far, and they're not even out of beta testing yet! The company looks very promising and I'm glad to be a part of it. I never imagined I could get paid for my tree-hugger opinions!

Other than that exciting news, I have been chugging along working on wrapping up a current project, the T & D Landscaping Web Site. It's still in testing and we're adding content constantly. I'm hoping to finish the site up by the end of February. It's been a long time coming since I've been so busy, but it would be nice to finish up some projects before I go to Spain this spring. I've been working on an identity system and marketing materials for the Moscow CommUNITY Walk, a walk celebrating unity and diversity here in Moscow, which will take place in late April. I'm also working on my cousin Joan's wedding invitations. I finished the Save the Date cards, which have been sent out, and now I'm working on the invitation part. Who knew wedding invitations could be so complicated?!? Joan and Jake are getting married in June, and my cousin Emily and her fiance Wes are getting married in October. Thankfully I am not doing both sets of invitations, but hopefully I can go to both weddings.

I have been practicing my Spanish lately in preparation for a family trip there for "Santa Semana" (Holy Week) at the beginning of April. My sister is studying in Granada this semester and my dad, mom, and I are flying out to visit. She's going to play tour guide (since she can actually speak the language!) and we're visiting Barcelona, Madrid, Grenada, Sevilla, and Cordoba. There are so many other places in Europe that I want to see, but one can only get so much time off of work... I'm looking forward to the trip and to visiting a new country. Now if only I could finish up some projects before then so I can have a stress-free vacation!

Well, time to get to work. Check out GreenOptions.com and my T & D Landscaping Web Site, and stay tuned. Hopefully I will have these recent projects up in my portfolio before too long! :)
