a smattering

After all these crazy goings-on I'm really excited to be getting back into my old schedule of Making and Doing Things. The past few days have been a rather messy blur of walks, feedings, and LOTS of cleaning up... I used to make fun of young married couples who introduced their first dog as their "child," but now I am officially humbled. There are happy times too, of course, but I think it'll all be tremendously happier on Friday, when Winnie gets her very own crate! 

Winnie + home alone = lots of havoc and mayhem to my belongings and house = I don't leave house as much and start to feel resentful = I spend hours cleaning and deodorizing

but

Winnie + crate + home alone = no more surprises when I return = happier me and Winnie!

As Michael from The Office puts it, "It's a win-win-win situation!"

So I'm not really there yet, but one of the projects I'm most excited about beginning is my next animation.

Of course, it's still in the pre-production phases (the er.... "storyboard-in-your-head" phase, to be precise...) but I've already got a happy soundtrack picked out!

So in the meantime, here's a VERY delightful animation about animation and why it's so magical in the first place. 

Enjoy!

(P.S.- All that stuff that happens in the beginning really does happen.)
