Denotation Connotation

Well ... 6 long years later, I am in a gallery again. My work from my Semiotics class is being featured with 4 of my classmates in Denotation Connotation. I have thoroughly enjoyed going back to school - especially taking the semiotics course. It's really opened up my eyes to the finer side of graphic design [opposed to the fast-paced corporate driven side].

Friday, December 4, 2009 we will be having a closing reception in which I hope all my friends can come. By the looks of it, I'll only have one friend in town. haha. Excuse me, husband? Please come home now.

Learn what Semiotics is to better understand the art behind it. For those you far away (eh-hem, Bryan) - here is a sampling of what's on display:

You'll be able to see us again in January when we display AMERICAN SEX at the Averitt Center for the Arts.

Mmmmm S'good

Jack took it upon himself to clap while I was feeding him. Spoon goes awry - we were towards the end of his dinner ... so he finished up the meal feeding himself. Post-bath NOT optional.

Georgia Southern Homecoming Game

Saturday was Southern's homecoming game against Furman. We lost - no surprise there. But we had a great day of tailgating. Anna and Maggie came in town from Charleston and Jana from Atlanta + the Sigma Nu crew from all over.

I learned this weekend dresses and boots were all the new rage.

Georgia Southern Homecoming

Georgia Southern's homecoming was this week. Jack celebrated at school with: Monday, Pajama Day; Tuesday, Tacky Day; Wednesday, Bring Your Favorite Book Day; Thursday, Messy Day; Friday, Georgia Southern Day. He had a fun-filled week and is now exhausted. We ended the work week with watching the Homecoming Parade on Sweetheart Circle - and Jack got to meet the biggest horse, ever!

Veteran's Day

Why must our soldiers be thanked? For many reasons people don't even think about. Besides dodging bullets, they miss their children grow and live in conditions that lack latrines and showers for months on end. Our veterans have been through and have seen things that we will never imagine; those things will weigh heavily on the shoulders of our men and women for the rest of their lives. Soldiers protect our country.

We owe our veterans more than just 'thank yous' and sales at their favorite store. We are forever indebted to the sacrifices our soldiers make. Until Jack cures cancer, I will hold Bryan on a pedestal of heroism that no one else I know will ever be able to attain. And I will always be proud to be his wife.

We are home of the free because of brave - the bravest of the brave. I am married to one of the finest.

Oh, Yea...

& VOTE FOR JACK!

Pausing ...

So - I know I still owe many more pictures of Bryan's visit home. However, it's the end of the semester and I am currently prepping for an exhibition. 5 Graduate Graphic Design students (including me) will be exhibiting in Denotation Connotation. It opens Monday, Nov 16 and runs until the 4th. There will be a reception on the 4th for you to come and tell me how wonderful I am. Haha.


Wait, no really - I would like that, boost my ego a bit. :) And, in case you all think I am a total pervert - I am also working on a project called American Sex. Check it out. Feel free to let me know how brilliant we are. But that's only an inkling of what's going on in my life. But no need to bore you here.

(Jack turns NINE months today ... so I might be slipping into a depression while I am at it.)

So - what I am getting at is ... I'll be back as soon as I can.

Tybee with Chauncy & Tracy

Who'd of thought that the 5 of us would be standing by the ocean all together? That's right! Chauncy left Missouri!! :)

Toes in the Water!

Jack's feet hit the ocean for the 1st time and I don't think he'll ever take a dip ever again! We didn't realize it was so cold! We hit up Tybee Island with my cousin Chauncy and Tracy from Missouri while they were in town for a wedding. I missed Tybee all summer long because they were filming a Hannah Montana movie ... boooooo. And the fact that Jack was a itty bitty little man - that's why we got the pool, instead.

Happy Halloween!!

So, Jack and I headed to Atlanta for the Halloween weekend. We visited our dear friends Ann & Matt. They were gracious enough to open their home to full throttle Jack. Jack has so much fun taking their house apart and the three of us are now exhausted from chasing him.

Jack with Auntie Ann & Uncle Matt

We [Ann, Matt, Jack, Ann's mom Jo and myself] went to Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta for Halloween. We even saw a ghost! Swear. A little pink balloon walked itself through the headstones until it stopped. Waited. Raised up a bit. Hovered. Stalled. And then flew into the air - fast. After 10 years, Ann and I learned something new about each other ... we're BOTH closet haunting/ghost fanatics! Who knew?!

We then headed to Six Feet Under - a restaurant across the street from the cemetery. Bryan and I love it and I was so happy to revisit it with some of my favorite people. We headed back to the house to pass out candy - it was a cold, rainy day - so we opted to hand out candy rather than go beg for candy using a lobster prop...

My little lobster ...

We even brought a little friend home with us from the cemetery ... But I left him to play with the Parkers.

Sunday night, A&M babysat baby Jack as I headed out to the Fox Theatre to see Ray LaMontagne with Brooke. We met some friends, John Michael, Katie, Jason & Amy prior to the show for a pint and a plate - Great fun had by all and the show was awesoooooooooome. Brooke and I got the very last two tickets. Who knew there was a back row to the balcony? (Of course there is .... but I've never seen it) But now, we are fans - nearly private bathrooms and such + great acoustics, made for a fantastic night.
