I’ve decided to move my blog over to Tumblr because it is going to be easier for me to maintain. It also means I don’t have to deal with hosting it, and that’s a win for me.

Please visit the new home to Little Snortles. Hope you like it!

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking over the last few months. I want to change. A lot. The first step, as I’ve previously stated, is changing my lifestyle and going vegan. And although that may be the biggest change next year, there’s a whole lot more I want to do. So, because it’s one of my favorite things to do, I made a list.

1. Go Vegan – The diet will go into effect as of January 4, and the lifestyle will be a more gradual change.

2. Learn to Cook – I cook now, but only to my standards. And really, that just isn’t good enough. Through practice, I want to become a better cook.

3. Bake More – I love baking, and people say I’m pretty good (which surprises me) so I want to do it more often.

4. Start Doing Yoga – How long have I been anti-exercise? Forever? That needs to change, so I thought I would do slow moving exercise to start off, and try yoga. I know not all yoga is slow moving, but I need to start somewhere.

5. Drink More Tea – As much as I love my carbonated beverage, that’s not how you move forward in a healthy lifestyle. Tea, you will be my new best friend.

6. Draw More!!! – I can’t emphasize this one more. I feel like I’m losing my drive to be creative because I don’t feel I have that outlet at work as much anymore. I need to get in gear!

7. Give Back – There’s nothing that gets to me more than an animal in need, so as a follow up to #6, I want to sell my art and raise money for rescues and animal charities. I already do that now and I’d love to give more.

8. Learn More About Auto Maintenance – I always thought I would never need to know any of this. Man, was I wrong. I really need, and want, to learn more about keeping my car maintained properly on my own.

It’s a valid question. I’ve been so overwhelmed doing 2 peoples jobs, that I just hadn’t made time to write. Well, I’ve finally gotten some help at work, and I’ve got plenty to write about. I’ll post a few of them in the coming days.

I also changed the name of my blog to Little Snortles.  I finally found my nitch in the blogging world so I am changing things to reflect that.

I went to an all day Photoshop seminar on Monday done by Kelby Training for work (I’m sorry I’m just writing about it now). I was a bit skeptical at first, only because I’ve gone to other all-day seminars and they don’t seem to cover more than the basics. That was certainly not true in this case. It was given by Bert Monroy who is so good, he was just inducted into the Photoshop Hall of Fame. No, I didn’t know there was a Photoshop Hall of Fame either. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m so glad that I was able to come back from my spring training trip this year to some nice weather, it sure beats 6 inches of snow in comparison to last year. After having one of the worst winters ever, it seems spring is starting to peak through the cold. My pup, Moley, and I had a ball playing in the yard the last couple days. I haven’t seen her smile so much!

Welcome to my blog! I’ve been meaning to update my personal website to include a blog, and by golly I finally did it. What you are going to find on here is some of my work and a lot of my thoughts.

This is not a design blog, but a blog by a designer. Although I’m not going to limit this blog to any kind of topic, I would venture to guess that there may be an underlying theme of design/art of some sort, but I’m probably wrong. You may also find random topics I feel like blabbering about like music or movies or anything else I find so exciting I just have to share with you.

Let’s hope this is the start of something beautiful!
