I haven’t updated much lately because I’ve got way too much going on!
Quick updates:
The other designer I work with is leaving next Thursday, so we’ll be down yet another person at work. I pride myself in saying that we hardly ever HAVE to stay late and when I do it’s of my own [...]
In light of recent developments and lack of blogging about exercise and running, I probably should change the masthead to something else. I really should blog about those recent developments. I just haven’t had a chance. I tend to blog when I’ve got something I want to show off…not when I’ve got something sucky that [...]
as you can see, i’m having a hard time adjusting to our yearly “spring forward” one hour.
it’s still dark. it’s 7:30 a.m. not a fan. a week ago I was all, “sweet. it’s light out early in the morning. i can get up at 7 and run 3-4 miles in the a.m.” THEN i [...]
My coworker posted a note on facebook about this, so I checked it out. Rules are:
1 – Go to Wikipedia and hit “random”
or simply click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 – Go to “Random quotations”
or [...]
Today was a very exciting day for a few reasons.
1) I finally got internet/cable. I’ll be damned if I can figure out how to hook up the cable with all my gadgets (Wii and DVD player). I’m sure I could figure it out…except I’d have to be able to see what was going on [...]
I filed my taxes early this year and was expecting my refund 2 weeks ago. Every time I would check the “Where’s My Refund?” tab on the IRS website it would tell me that I’d be receiving my refund a week later than the last time I’d checked.
Well, I checked again today, and [...]
I had a really long week this week for some reason. Stupid mistake after stupid mistake…definitely a BLONDE week.
Wednesday I managed to send an invitation to the printer without designing the envelope that goes with it. I get a call from the vendor asking, “Um, is there an envelope to go with this invitation?” [...]
Since I’m too lazy to walk over and run on a treadmill in this below 0° weather… I’m taking a 10 minute break to blog it up over lunch.
Nothing too exciting is going on this week other than the fact that it’s ridiculously cold out. Temperature in Anchorage, Alaska is 41° today. Temperature here: [...]
We’re doing InDesign training at work… we’re FINALLY switching. Needless to say I’m thrilled.
Anyway, building test files to learn how to do everything… and here’s my fancy schmancy awesome design:
Hey, they made us use gradients…so I figured, let’s make it “fun” or badly designed.
EDIT: Here’s some more fun from day 2.
[...]
But still can’t manage to break 19 miles a week. Grr.
I started running over my lunch every other day this week. I never did that before because I didn’t think running for 25 minutes would be worth it. Now that I run faster I can get 3-3.5 miles in during that time, so it’s [...]

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, 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.
