Where I landed a job doing interactive + online marketing - so excited!!! I'll be moving to Tulsa after graduation and starting the job after Kelly's wedding. I'm thrilled for the next chapter to begin!
However, I'll definitely miss ATX...this city has a big chunk of my heart and I'll look forward to many visits and weekend getaways. More to come later.
On other news, I finished my portfolio Thursday, had critique Friday and am officially done with my graduate school work. So, now I'm a Master. Yes. Master Grober. Graduation is this coming Saturday - the whole family is coming down, so I'm ready to celebrate the finale of my college career. My website will be updated soon with my new work - I'm really proud of my portfolio - like, really proud. :)
And I've been sleeping a TON lately! I'm completely loving it! Now, all I need is a 4 hour long massage and I'll be set. Love you all!

Momma.
Happy mother's day to a wonderful woman who has really put up with me.
First, I was 2 weeks late being born - due on New Year's. I guess I liked it all snuggly in there. Then, I shoved random things up my nose and had to go to the doctor to get them removed. Then I pouted like no one's business, with home videos to prove it. My bottom lip was basically dragging the ground. Sigh. Then I went through my JNCO/chains/thrift store shirt/silver Dr. Marten phase. That was interesting. I crowd surfed at a concert + my mom got upset. I rebelled, I got into trouble + I'm sure I helped put a few grey hairs on my folk's heads.
So, thank you momma - you let me figure things out for myself + you encouraged my creativity all through my life. Whether that meant pink and/or purple hair or silver sequins on my mustard yellow backpack straps, I appreciate it. You're a wonderful woman + I hope to someday learn how to choose my battles as well as you did. I look up to you so much + I'm so glad you raised me the way you did. I love you so much, you are the world to me. Happy momma's day - iloveyoumommy.

Update.
No, I don't have a job.
Yes, I'm looking.
I graduate in 16 days!!!
My critique is going to be GREAT!
I'm enjoying my final days as a college kid.
I wish I had saved money to travel after I graduate, especially with this economy crap.
I'm really proud + happy with my campaigns.
I've been a little stressed, so my cuticles are destroyed.
My dog is in Oklahoma with Jeff + I miss her. I miss Jeff too.
I've started writing my 9 + 4s differently.
I'm starting to be OK with the fact of taking a little break after graduation. (21 years of school will do that.)
I started Twittering. My thoughts? Eh.
Today was my final class of my college career.
I'm tired.
Time to get back to work on a Wolf Chili campaign. Love you, miss you.

A poster.
There's a conference this Friday at UT all about the future of advertising and what exactly that entails (or what we think it entails.) It's called AdWakening and it has some big names coming to speak. Greg Andersen is the managing director from BBH NYC, Liz Ross is an agency CEO in-waiting from Chicago, and Bob Garfield is a columnist for Advertising Age and a co-host for NPR's "On the Media." The list goes on and on. So, needless to say, this conference is a pretty big deal!
I'm on the creative team for this and was in charge with a partner to come up with a poster design. Here she is. I'm happy with it! And if you're around Austin this Friday, come on over to AdWakening - it'll be quite an interesting day!

TV Excellence.
So, in case you missed it, tonight was the premier of The Cougar on TV Land. Yes. An older woman in a sea of twenty-something boys...I mean, "men." Take a look below to read some of the most memorable quotes from tonight's episode. And yes, I'm a little ashamed I watched this.
"Ladies, feast your eyes on Stacey, the cougar!"
"This is actually my first cougar experience."
"You look way too old to be a cougar. Whoa, whoa, whoa, way to young to be a cougar."
"I'm a pool boy, but at the end of this I want to be your pool man."
"Hi, I'm Brad aka 'The Bear.' See? Cougars and bears getting along great?"
"Excuse me. Are you the cougar I'm looking for?"
"I wore as much color as possible so I can stand out in this jungle."
"Even though she is a cougar, she has a kitten side to her."
"I'm after some intimate knowledge of the cougar."
"I feel like eve in a garden of forbidden fruit."
"I am the first guy to see the cougar den."
And my personal favorite...
"You're under arrest. You stole my heart and you have the right to remain delicious."

And another.
This one's for Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears. My favorite song of theirs? Sugarfoot. Go listen and enjoy.
