"December has been pretty awesome! I feel like my art has been taking a new turn, maybe ‘cause I’ve been actually making some money. I showed off my stuff last night at the bar where it’s been hanging. Great night and turn out! I am happy for the friends I’ve made in Chicago. My boyfriend is spectacular and more patient than anyone I know. My day job sucks balls, but it doesn’t have to be forever. I am looking forward to 2012. I think school is certainly in my future and I hope sooner rather than later. Rugby conditioning should begin again and I really need that. And i totally hope I can manage getting to Manchester for the Bingham Cup.. Happy New Year All!!"
