2015 In Review

LazyLady-2015-Review

I was looking back at old posts, Instagrams, and photos from the year and I was surprised by how much I did this past year! When I started going through my personal archives, I began with the mindset of "man, I don't know what I'm going post in my review...I didn't really do anything". Boy was I wrong!


Lazy-Lady

First, I re-launched my blog! I designed and built a webpage, bought a domain and haven't looked back since!

I've worked on new content, updating how I do old content, tried my hand at webcomics and podcasting on here. I think I know how I want to work on this blog moving forward, but 2015 was definitely a year of figuring it all out!


Bigby-Puppy

We got this monster in January 2015 as well! He's a mess, but I love this crazy mutt! Bigby has been a fun addition to our little family, even if he does:
• Terrorize the cats
• Eats anything he can find...
• ...including cat poop
• Refuses to let anyone cuddle without him
lineI still love this monster.


My friend Missy and I started a local blogger group get together. You can read about it here.

Mr. LL and I took a mini-vaca to New Roads, LA.

LazyLady-Octavia-Books-Allen-The-Alligator-Signing

The children's book I illustrated released and I got to do a book signing! (Now for sale here!)


LazyLady-Moving

Mr. LL and I moved to a new house. Still renting, of course.

I tried my hand at freezer cooking, so I can check that off my bucket list!

LazyLady-Purple-Hair

Another check off the ol' bucket list: I dyed my hair purple!


I launched LV Book Design!

And all of this happened too:

  • Gay marriage became legal in Louisiana!
  • I went to the first Venture POP! conference
  • I got promoted to Assistant Director at work

I hope you had a great 2015, and here's to looking ahead to 2016!


I'm still here...

I'm alive.

There, that's out of the way.

I'm sorry that I've let Lazy Lady fall by the wayside. Life has just gotten in the way. Mr. LL and I have been on-and-off sick since early November, and my day job has taken up a lot of my time.

I was promoted in November to Assistant Director in my design department at work and we lost a designer. So between my work duties and helping my Director find a new hire, and still helping to train our new designer on top of short work weeks for the holidays, it has been draining to say the least. But I'm still here and so is Lazy Lady.

To keep some sanity, I'm going to be cutting way back on my frequency in 2016. I'm also only going to have a couple of posts go up as we wrap up 2015.

I'm really trying to focus on quality and not quantity now. I think that doing a year of "seeing what sticks" and what I stick with has taught me a lot about how I want to use this blog and what kind of content I want to share with you (and the type of content you want to see!).

So I'm here, and I'm working on some fun things for 2016 on the blog. Just wanted to let you know!
