A couple of music videos and some info from one of my favorite artists. This week’s feature is Andrew WK.
I’ve been on vacation for the past 5 days: Park City, UT and Boulder / Denver / Broomfield, CO. My flight was delayed 2 hours last nigh. I got home at 2 AM. So, today’s post is brought to you by the letter “R“.
As in I need to relax.
Reboot.
Rest.

I’m still in Colorado, but I have a guest post on my friend Laura’s blog today about Intuitive Eating.
Laura is basically my idol. She is such a badass. We met at Blend Retreat last year and bonded over our favorite whiskey drink (Manhattans because we are really just 60-year-old men). She and [...]
Good morning. I’m spending some lovely time in Colorado right now, but I couldn’t wait to share this inspirational story, so I went ahead and scheduled it while I’m on vacation. I noticed that my friend Shelby had lost a ton of weight, and I asked her to write a guest post [...]
Tomorrow morning at 4 AM my friend Alex will be picking me up (or maybe I’ll be stopping by her place — we need to pow wow yet) to drive to Des Moines to get on a plane going to Utah for Blend Retreat.

This was a pretty marvelous weekend. And a busy one to boot! My mom was coming on Sunday for Mother’s Day so we had a lot of cleaning to do. We hadn’t done laundry for at least a month; two grad students + finals + work = no chores getting done. [...]

Too many things have been happening lately (event-wise, and life-wise) for me to sit down and do a legitimate update. so i’m going to do it now while i’m drinking my tea (not coffee) before i get ready to go to our college’s convocation [...]
I’ve been so busy all day that I haven’t even been on Google to notice that the google doodle of the day is an homage to my favorite designer, and probably one of the greatest designers of my time, Saul Bass (thanks for the tip, Kelly!). It would have been his [...]
I’d love to plant a tree, or two, or three. Maybe have an orchard. But alas, I rent. So that’s not happening anytime soon.
The only time I ever planted a tree was when I was about 8 years old. I helped my dad plant some trees in our front yard. We moved away [...]

Hi there. I'm Calee (pronounced CAL-e). If that's too hard, just call me Cal. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 28ish, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
