Hi. It's been a really long time - I know. I wish I could express to you how dire my computer situation is. Hm. Put it this way:

a. my wrists often almost burn from resting on the hot keyboard console
b. my desk is in the far corner of my room, which is adjacent to the kitchen. while standing in the kitchen talking to my roommate with water running, we can clearly hear the my laptop fan whirring like a freaking engine
c. if i have more than 2 or 3 programs open simultaneously, switching between programs can take up to 60 seconds

Luckily, I appealed to my parents and explained the situation, as well as the fact that I am hoping to launch pink pomelo design soon and thus will need a faster computer that will allow me to do a lot of website and design stuff, and they graciously agreed to help me out with a loan. I have some money saved up, but not enough to get a new computer on my own right now, but I'm hoping that through getting said new computer I will be able to bring in some more dough on the side to help pay back the loan more quickly.

SO! I will soon be joining the Mac brigade with my very own Macbook. I'm nervous and excited and very much looking forward to naming her!

In terms of life updates, I went to my older brother's grad school graduation last weekend and spent a good deal of quality time with my family. I also started to feel like maybe I need to rethink my life and career trajectory. I don't know. My life and my priorities have changed so much in 2007 that I'm now just trying to catch up with my thoughts.

(My wrists! Burning! Agh I'll type faster)

I also sat down and worked out the main design for pink pomelo tonight - want a preview? I knew you would.

I'm not sure when it will launch - hopefully within the next couple of weeks.

And finally - here are some pictures from the craft fair as well as last weekend with the fam. Hopefully you're friends with me on Facebook or at least in the New York network so you can see them ;)

Good night!
