Hard to believe it’s almost April; also hard to believe it’s been two weeks since I’ve last posted. And yet, here we are. I’ve spent many, many (non-working) hours during the past few weeks working feverishly on the graphic design for a 48-page program for Gilda’s Club Fashion Show, which was held on this rainy Sunday afternoon at the Hyatt downtown. The image above is from an inside spread of the program (I designed the ad on the right); below is a shot of the front cover.

When it comes to raffles and prizes, I am the complete opposite of Jennie, which is to say, I never win anything. Until today! I was the top bidder on a hand-made purse (yes, yes, I have another purse), and I also won a giant basket of Bath & Body Works products in the raffle at the Fashion Show. Here’s a picture of my winnings (Chavo was very interested in the Easter grass that filled the basket!):

Let’s see… Also in the past few weeks, I’ve been to a Twilight party (ha!) and a jewelry party, seen Jersey Boys with Aunt Tra and Sweeney Todd with Sarah S. (welcome to Roch!), Lindsay, and her sister, Jen (so strange to be back at Geva again–I expected Zerbe to come slouching around the corner at any moment!), done voice over work at EK, written another story, worked on my novel a little, spent time with the family, and purchased a coffee table. It opens up into a bigger table, which is perfect for a girl with a living room that barely fits her giant treadmill, much less, you know, grown-up furniture! Here’s a picture:

I’ll try not to let two weeks pass before the next update. There’s lots to look forward to in April, including a new neighbor (hi, Linds!), the planning of this year’s Gilda’s Gang (let me know if you want to train to walk a half marathon!), a visit from Justin and Mandy, and RENT!

The title of this post is from a quote by Thomas Jefferson:

I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.
