Kera

I have gone out to find myself. If you see me before I get back, tell me to wait here.

About Me

I am both spontaneous and a bit of a control freak. The spontaneity I came by naturally. The control issues came first from being an oldest child and then from living in a rather out-of-control situation for a few years. I am both a romantic and a cynic. Which I guess means that I believe in love, but also think that people will use that belief to screw me over. When I was in a teenager, I bought I hypnosis tape to help me stop procrastinating. I never got around to listening to it. That is a completely true story. I am a very bad liar so I don’t do it much, except occasionally to myself. ..

My Interests

Laughing, dancing, music, movies, road trips, photography, falling on the ground, swimming, games, theater, hiking, animals, painting, figuring things out.

Abebe

As some of you know, I have sponsored two children, Abebe and Janeth, for a few years now.  I just heard this morning that Abebe passed away last month.  He was taken to the doctor because h...

"armed and famous"

The president gave a speech last night outlining his plan for the war in Iraq.  I watched it on television and I can now definitively say that America is facing a new crisis.  No, I'm not ac...

excuse me, your pants are on fire

I locked my keys in my car last night... as I discovered this morning.  Not the brightest candle in the bunch. Speaking of candles, I was telling some of the new people at work the other day abou...

quick house news

They started "turning the dirt" on my lot today.  The work has begun; the wheels are in motion.  Soon, I'll have a house all my own!    How cool and scary is that?...

... and yet the beating continues.  For the past hour (or the past ten years, it's hard to tell at this point), I have been listening to two people in a cubicle near mine go over the same n...

splat!

Trauma-rama for me today:  I had to drive down to Green Valley to a client's house and all the way down I-19 and back, there were thousands of those bright yellow butterflies.  They're beaut...

in the interest of understanding myself and others...

I've been thinking a lot today about what makes different people tick.  I am a fan of the Jung/Meyers-Briggs personality profiles because they are multi-dimensional.  I would reall...

flush with pride

One of the cool things about being a designer is all of the fabulous sales and promotional materials that flood my mail bin every week.  This is one that just came across my desk a couple of days...
