1.22.10

Whoah there, I almost typed 1.22.09, it's been 21 22 days and I'm still not out of the habit.

This week was a wee bit busy but I really thrive on running on little sleep. It keeps me from wallowing that I'm not at Alt to meet my design bloggin' heroes or hear Heather Armstrong's Tennessee voice.

When I went through my starred items from the week I realized this week's #ff is going to be filled with geekery. Welcome to THAT side of my brain.

• I took a Myers Briggs test and found out I am INTJ. Now I just need to figure out what that is actually is and how I should boost/change my natural tendencies? The year is still young that I will try new stuff.
  
• Even though I can't be there, I am getting my constant #altsummit stream of updates and ideas about bloggin', defining my presence/products via Twitter. Thank you technology.
  
• With the amount of crappy crafts lately, ie, see the growing popularity of Regretsy (book deal too), 2WB's post, and now This) I sure hope this handmade wave of popularity isn't going to die down.
  
• Pretty epic local news: a meteorite fell around here and Luray Caverns showed up on Atlas Obscura!
  
• This week I learned about biomass waste energy generation. Sounds so intelligent doesn't it? In 7^th grade humour terms, it's Poop Power. Elephants are like so hot right now.
  
• I still can't believe no one told me Sam the Koala died last year and there's a huge controversy now because THEY.STUFFED.HER. with her bandaged arms and legs, in a museum. Let me get over her death first, then I'll get riled up about her creepy taxidermy. I'm a little behind.
  
• I can't NOT mention food. Don't even ask me about my food binge after a deadline. (It pretty much involved picking out one item from each category at a drive thru.) How awesome is this crème frache recipe. I can't wait to put this on all the fruits and not think about how much it is for a little bottle.

I am looking forward to some brainstorming for some wedding stationary, finish a paper portrait and saying goodbye to a friend moving back to Hotlanta. Let's hope I don't end up just sleeping in, although it sounds so tempting right now, yawn.
