So, here is my life in a nutshell. I work for a major Minnesota arts non-profit in a very entry-level, foot-in-the-door capacity. I love it. One of my coworkers is the actress who is on the box of Marie Callendar's (seriously!). The office printer is named Stravinsky. And people discuss composers and politics around the water cooler, not TV. How refreshing!
I’m also doing 2 fall internships with smaller arts organizations here in the Twin Cities.

They bring art into the classroom, and also into healthcare facilities to positively impact populations who may be art-deprived. Art deprivation is a preventable condition!

I was never much of a wedding fantasizer, so now that it’s upon us I’m starting to realize that I don’t really know what I want. It’s not even what I want, because I don’t care about most of the minutae – it’s just supposed to be a party, right? A really good party. So imagine the shocked expression on my face when the wedding coordinator at our venue told us just how many decisions we will be required to make – down to which way our napkins are to be folded (really?). It reminded me of this interesting research on decision fatigue – I bet betrothed couples the world over suffer from it. But seriously, I know it’s a nice problem to have, and it’s already been fun to get all girly and think about flowers and ribbons and color palettes, oh my...
