I’ve been on vacation for the past 5 days: Park City, UT and Boulder / Denver / Broomfield, CO. My flight was delayed 2 hours last nigh. I got home at 2 AM. So, today’s post is brought to you by the letter “R“.

As in I need to relax.
Reboot.
Rest.

Vacation pix and baller guest post

By chimes On May 21, 2013 · 12 Comments

I’m still in Colorado, but I have a guest post on my friend Laura’s blog today about Intuitive Eating.

Laura is basically my idol. She is such a badass. We met at Blend Retreat last year and bonded over our favorite whiskey drink (Manhattans because we are really just 60-year-old men). She and [...]

Good morning. I’m spending some lovely time in Colorado right now, but I couldn’t wait to share this inspirational story, so I went ahead and scheduled it while I’m on vacation. I noticed that my friend Shelby had lost a ton of weight, and I asked her to write a guest post [...]

By chimes On May 16, 2013 · 5 Comments

Tomorrow morning at 4 AM my friend Alex will be picking me up (or maybe I’ll be stopping by her place — we need to pow wow yet) to drive to Des Moines to get on a plane going to Utah for Blend Retreat.

In case you missed all [...]

PhD, here I come!

By chimes On May 15, 2013 · 14 Comments

Logged in to check my grades today, and I couldn’t wait to share!

My post title is a bit misleading. I’m going towards my MFA in Graphic Design, which is the terminal degree in design in most places. Some places offer a PhD in design but it’s a bit extraneous. My [...]

Marvelous in My Monday: Mother’s Day

By chimes On May 13, 2013 · 11 Comments

 

This was a pretty marvelous weekend. And a busy one to boot! My mom was coming on Sunday for Mother’s Day so we had a lot of cleaning to do. We hadn’t done laundry for at least a month; two grad students + finals + work = no chores getting done. [...]

coffee talk.

By chimes On May 11, 2013 · 10 Comments

Have a seat. grab a cup. we’ll talk. no big whoop.

Too many things have been happening lately (event-wise, and life-wise) for me to sit down and do a legitimate update. so i’m going to do it now while i’m drinking my tea (not coffee) before i get ready to go to our college’s convocation [...]

Graphic Design GEEKGASM.

By chimes On May 8, 2013 · 3 Comments

I’ve been so busy all day that I haven’t even been on Google to notice that the google doodle of the day is an homage to my favorite designer, and probably one of the greatest designers of my time, Saul Bass (thanks for the tip, Kelly!). It would have been his [...]

  • Hi there. I'm Calee (pronounced CAL-e). If that's too hard, just call me Cal. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 28ish, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
