What’s Making Me Happy This Week
Walking to Dinner
When we lived in Laguna, we were smack dab in downtown and could walk to everything. It was amazing and we loved it, but it was a lot of moolah for a small place. Last October, we moved two beach towns south into a bigger, less expensive apartment. It’s not nearly as walkable, but what matters is that we are close to one of the best new restaurants in Orange County! Our new favorite thing is walking to Riders and watching the sunset over excellent microbrews and a burger (cut in half).

Learning New Things
I’ve mentioned before that I’ve started listening to a lot of podcasts since taking up knitting. Well, I’ve kind of gotten addicted to The Big Web Show. I’ve been listening to all the back episodes when I’m cleaning, going for walks, drawing, doing laundry, and, of course, knitting my mother huge blanket. It’s gotten me all inspired to learn new things. For instance:
- I ordered a book on CSS so I can get better (I’m self-taught, but aren’t we all?)
- I implemented Typekit on my website.
- Speaking of my website, it now exists though in a rough form (and will be getting significantly tweaked).
- I’m learning responsive web design and HTML5.
- I’m trying to learn Ruby since everyone says it’s the balls.
New Business Cards
I changed them from what I posted a couple weeks ago. I think they’re cute.
