Life, Contests, and Goodies!

Survey Time

I won a contest      Activity Book

I’ve been busy lately  working on client projects, but have had a few hours lately left in my days to finally start on redesigning my portfolio site, which is in dire need of a major overhaul. Plus I’ve had some extra time to enter contests like this one that was being hosted  at Planet Photoshop last week. The contest was pretty simple since all you had to do was just redesign your twitter profile. I entered it to find out later that I won 3rd place which was nice, since I would be getting a years worth of Layers Magazine, which is a very trendy design magazine that has tutorials for all the Adobe software. Plus I’m also getting the Photoshop CS3 Hot Tips booklet which will be a welcomed addition to my design library as well.

Then last week I also got Veer’s Summer activity booklet, which they send out each year,and also got a Brightkite sticker from a fellow twitter friend too. I always enjoy getting buttons, stickers,  and other tech logo items like tee shirts or mugs too.  I hope to get some more stickers to put on my new macbook I just

got last month too. So far this week I took the yearly survey for A List Apart.   and just working on client work as well as my portfolio redesign.

Thinking about places to go…

Just the other day I was talking with a friend about places to go for vacation or day trips. The most places I thought that I would enjoy going is from hiking/trail, mountain biking, white water rafting, museums, art galleries, aquariums, and landmarks like to the outer bank to see the Light houses. I know what most people would say about going to those places, since most would think it would be so boring, but personally I think those would be fun places to go, since I rather go on trips to learn things than just to go shopping or  spend the time away wasted.

Sandy Ocean Waves

Had a short vacation spending time with family and friends, this past week at the beach. The weather was nice, but too hot. although it rained pretty much all day yesterday.

I was on the go pretty much the whole entire time and did not get to take any pictures I like I had plan. Anyhow, I did see the movie “Dark Knight” while away, which I thought it was a good movie and a great sequel to Batman Begins. 

 

All in all I had a great trip and feel refreshed to start the next week…..
