New interview with Heather Armstrong of Dooce.com. If you don’t know her work, you should. Check it out here.
Excerpt:
“Heather lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, is married to Jon, has at least one pet dog and a daughter. But most importantly, she has a troubled intestinal tract along with a hearty sense of humor, which you most certainly need when you have the former. Her daily posts are peppered with bits of what it�s like to be in her world of kids, husbands and people of the faith when you have a slightly off-kilter body and mind. On her FAQ page, you�ll find how to pronounce her name and that in Utah even the Post Office has a changing table to encourage more breeding. Her photo of the day sometimes makes me want to cry for no apparent reason other than that I like the feeling in them.”
Found my way here via Dooce which I read everyday. It’s what I look forward to when I come home from
work. A cold Diet Pepsi and Dooce. Anyway, lovely site and amazing artwork. I don’t have an artistic bone
in my body although I taught art for two years to elementary school kids in an after school program I helped create called “Smart Art.”
I knew a little more than the 2nd graders. We would take an artist, for instance, have a 20 minute lesson
and the do a project in whatever art form the artist was known for. Since it was project oriented I could keep up.
Actually I guess my “artistic” talent (if you were forced to call it that lol) was doing stand-up comedy, writing, etc.
Okay, so “hello,” nice to meet you, enjoyed every minute here and plan to return!
hey terri,
thanx for dropping by! and thanx for all the nice comments. smart art sounds really cool. i love doing art with kids since they aren’t worried so much about how it looks. they are more relaxed which is so much more fun, ya know?
lp
I also found this site via Dooce. Actually I’m suprised I haven’t come across it before! Love the photos and art and found it really inspiring to hang around here for a while. I’ll be doing it again!
Your interview with Dooce, through which I found your site, was cool. Art stuff were cool too.
