<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got hired on at FamilySearch and have been working with metadata since my last post. I've learned a great deal about the daily in and out of a white-collar job. I'm still learning, to put it simply. I'm learning how to be myself despite the dress code restrictions and living in a sea of cubes.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
I feel like I have more freedom with my free time than ever before, but less free with my "9-5". Don't get me wrong; I'm profoundly grateful to have a job-- it's just an adjustment from college life (more so than I expected). I'm still in that floaty place of not being sure of what I'm doing or if what I AM doing is fulfilling to me. Considering a Master's again, in light of such reflections. I'm also trying to scrape in a few more responsibilities here and there to stay on my toes and keep learning something.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One aspect of a corporate job downtown that I really enjoy is experiencing the wonders of commuting on the tram every day with people from all walks of life. There are some days when I feel like a ghost, among the masses, and other days I've had meaningful interactions with other people. There's something deeply spiritual about observing people and being a part of a snippit of their lives. During my 90 minute combined trek to and from work, I've read lots of books that I've wanted to read forever. Therefore I've gone to numerous other worlds and held the whispers & memories of many characters-- human beings and the like.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm reading my first biography and so far I'm very pleased. It is incredibly special to hear the thoughts, struggles, and dreams of another person, that they were brave enough to put it all on paper and send it out to the world; and then for me to find many of this person's thoughts, struggles, and dreams are similar to my own. Reading books has always brought me new friends, and this time, they're actually breathing oxygen on this planet Right Now. That's an interesting thought. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That's enough for now. </div>
<div>
Till later then.</div>

I went to Helper, Utah yesterday just for a drive and a look around. There was a cute little clothing shop that interested us right away. The sign on the front door kindly said "Come On In", but the door itself had other plans- it was locked. A bit confused and disappointed, my friends and I leaned towards the glass to peer inside to find no one there, and we turned to continue down the street. As soon as we turned to go a kindly gal called to us from her car. She happened to be the owner of the little shop and was on her way to run an errand. She promised to return so that we could look around her shop to our hearts' content. In another shop I scored a sheet of newspaper from 1922 with a report on a couple of women who were wanted for running a silk robbery ring in Boston, and a few beautiful ads. After looking in a few more shops, rummaging through antiques, and taking tons of pictures with some train cars and an old bus that were displayed on the side of the street, we made our way back to the little shop. Again, no one was there but as we turned to go after waiting, we were again stopped by a voice calling from a car. It was a man this time, who identified us as the 3 gals who wanted to see the shop. After a few laughs he let us into the shop and phoned the owner. When she arrived she laughed with us and chatted as we looked through the racks of vintage and hand sewn clothes. The one thing, she said, about living in a tiny town was that she didn't have to keep regular store hours. We each left with a treasure and thanked her for coming back to let us look. I sometimes miss living in a small town where people know one-another and look after each other, where the sleepiness of the town draws in visitors from the city on weekends, and how the streets awaken during festivals. I don't think I would live in such a town again in my life, but I surely want to live near one so that I can enjoy quiet days like yesterday whenever I liked.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05910764919466228887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226042809742607263.post-63972075458899749262012-06-03T12:06:00.000-07:002013-09-23T13:01:40.576-07:00How could you resist?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So we went adventuring a few days ago and discovered a sweet toy store in the Riverwoods shops! Like all toy stores should, <a href="http://blickenstaffs.com/">Blickenstaff's </a>came equipped with old fashioned candies and throwback graphics on lot of their toy and game packaging. The overhead train and airplanes were my favorite part for sure. I love when little shops like this make an effort to create an environment to experience when you go inside. And as you are selecting the bobbin or adventure guide of choice (we were after Bananagrams), those who tend to the toys that live in the shop may offer to teach you a new game or ask for a quick round of <a href="http://blickenstaffs.com/toys/games-puzzles/family-games/spot-it.html">Spot It</a>.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"> I read this little article today and it really touched me. I hope all the sweet little girls I know (myself included), will see what really makes them beautiful.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">We should not be afraid to address these issues and share our stories with one another. It helps so much to come together and help each other to overcome the stigmas of modern society.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">I still battle the occasional rain cloud above my head that tries to bully the unique and special person that I am. The exquisite childlike curiosity that I've worked so hard to cultivate, cowers in the corner when the blackness of "what if it's true" covers the truth of things. Well what if this <i>huge </i>negative thing (whether it is about being overweight, lazy, selfish, irresponsible, etc.) <i>is </i>true? </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">All the negative things that creep into a self-confident mind <i>could </i>be true, but I have a choice- I can approach it however I like! Does it change who I was 5 minutes ago, now that it's been brought to my attention? I'm still me. I do have the power to change things if I want to, but I want it to be for me and what I believe, not for the satisfaction of societal conformity, "correctness", or norms. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">I see the world in shapes, colors, and textures. I delight in good stories. I'm a hunter of cool sounds. I'm a collector of curious things and ideas. T</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">hose are some of the things that make me beautiful and </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">radiant</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">.

Much has happened as of late. I finished up with finals and went to the <a href="http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/cs/home">NGS </a>(National Genealogical Society) conference in Cincinnati, Ohio. I learned how to <i>spell </i>Cincinnati and that it has 88 counties. Learned what a <a href="http://www.americawriteshome.us/oldhand/thorn.html"><i>thorn</i> </a>was in old English. Ate good food and met lots of fun people while I was there. I got rid of a few things and moved into a new place with high ceilings and lots of quirks. Found some new LPs. Sent off friends and welcomed some back. I picked up twenty more hours of work for the summer. I'm on book 2 of the Barsoom series and have delighted in journeying to far away planets with the Virginian who doesn't know the meaning of the word <i>impossible</i>. And today I vanquished the gym for the first time in weeks. And to make it a perfect moment, I'm writing to you whilst listening to the Pumpkins' Adore album- its narrated many a moments in my life. Talk to you soon.</div>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">I needed a dose of lovely history today. I'm trying to edit the things that I've been harboring in my circle of importance this week to edit my pattern. I am indeed in control and now that I have an empty circle, I'm going to fill it with things that really are important and will add to true happiness and well being. To flourish. As I watched this video, I longed to be in an environment such as the delightful bookstore where the poster was found. I hunger after such a life that the owners seem to have. Now I realize, that I often <i>am </i>in that sort of environment, and have the power to make my heart and mind that kind of environment. I will hold the message of this bygone poster close to my heart and <i>carry on</i> in brighter days. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;">Enjoy this video and article from The History Blog.</span><br />

So I finished my first Coptic binding in my bookbinding class! I think it turned out pretty nice :) At a second-hand store, I bought a history book about dance and tore out some lovely prints to use on my cover.<br />
<br />
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXQb3D75Wr4434aAJGE8dSbeyA5HUnLueIbbQjyet8E0PPIIHg0WAd33z2LIHxTr2tc1MG9zLuHlnSHppmTNzKAFI2TK_ADZ6WawSbmIOYZrZ5Ia_B7WeI3MyCnijHDC9DkyXM4QN3S7p3/s1600/IMAG0059.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXQb3D75Wr4434aAJGE8dSbeyA5HUnLueIbbQjyet8E0PPIIHg0WAd33z2LIHxTr2tc1MG9zLuHlnSHppmTNzKAFI2TK_ADZ6WawSbmIOYZrZ5Ia_B7WeI3MyCnijHDC9DkyXM4QN3S7p3/s320/IMAG0059.jpg" width="320" /></a>The front is a costume concept and the back is an early attempt at dance notation. I had to dye the back cover sheet to make the colors match the front. For the dye, I used water, vanilla extract, and chamomile honey tea. I set it in a plastic container overnight with some parts sticking out of the water for a more aged effect. I then took out the sheet and left it on a towel to dry while I went to classes. When I came home, it was completely dry and I was able to cut and paste it to the back cover-board. The rest of the book was pretty straight-forward. </div>

I did the sewing while I watched the 2009 movie, <a href="http://newvideo.com/secretofkells/">T<i>he Secret of Kells</i></a>. I really enjoyed the movie. The textures that come out through the bright color and line-work of the animation were lovely and pushed the storytelling to a higher plane of aesthetic. PLUS it is all about the making of a beautiful and magical book. How appropriate! You really should watch it!!</div>

My first Wikipedia contribution! Admiral Russell R. Waesche is my Great Great Grandfather's cousin. He was the Admiral of the US Coast Guard for many years. I got to add a few things to his page and I'm pretty excited about it. Check it out <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_R._Waesche">HERE</a>.

Waesche lamented that so much of our stories are lost over time, but she rejoiced in the belief that we would meet again.<br />

It is such a comfort in knowing where those we love are and what they're up to. This scripture was one of the greatest comforts to me after my father died:<br />

This caught my eye as I was going through my Google Reader this morning. Think its an accurate interpretation of the draft? </div>

Material history, if you haven't noticed, is a passion of mine. How wonderful for designers to have had access to the drawing, so that they could bring this design through the centuries. I wonder how often old designs and plans will see the light of day in this century for the first time. This really tickles my fancy; perhaps I'll keep my eyes open for sleeping dreams such as this in my wanderings. </div>

Such a tender mercy, as it turns out, the professor works in the Special Collections of the Library doing preservation etc! Can you believe it!? My teacher has my dream job and I didn't even know it! He said he decided to let me add the class because he felt like its where I belong :) He also said that I should come down to the preservation lab and spend some time down there :D Wow, this is going to be a wonderful semester! Get ready for adventures in bookbinding land... I'm sure there is some kind of <i>Monster Book of Monsters</i> that's creeping around in my head just waiting to be made.</span><br />

I'm sitting in my Computers for Historical Research class, and we're talking Blogs! I get to start one based on the research that I did last semester. So, when that begins I'm going to put a link on my sidebar for you to easily find and subscribe to it. I'll try not to forget you here on Antiquarian Eyes though, have no fear! The research that I'm going to hi-light will eventually be connected to a google webpage that will be connected to all of the research. I'm excited!<br />
<br />
Here's my professor's blog for an example if you're looking to start a genealogical blog of your own and some fun readings:<br />

Well I survived the end of the semester with little sleep but a lot of confidence. There are classes that one may dread, not because of the course load or content, but because of the professor. So with that particular class, I did my best under the circumstance, and hopefully when grades come out I'll be somewhat satisfied with her assessment.<br />
Anywho, Christmas has been wonderful. Good company here with the family. My first few days were full of unpacking boxes and helping them get settled in better. We got a little Christmas tree and made our own decorations- popcorn garland and paper chains :) My brother came to visit with his little family from MD. That was a blast because I haven't seen them for a few years. The rest of the family is doing great! My little sister and I have had a lot of time to chill and goof around too, it's been a lot of fun. And I found out that my sister's husband is going to receive a bronze star for his service in Afghanistan later this year too. So nothing but good news!<br />
Our two little pugs went on an adventure- they escaped for a whole day and sent us on a goose-chase after them~ that was a little nerve racking, but they're back safe and sound now :)<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
So the goals for the rest of the break are: to get the rest of the new house un-packed, have a fun birthday, and help my family to relax!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Merry Christmas</div>

I started to really look through my Waesche Family History book written by Margaret B. Waesche. Her entry on Charles Albert Waesche mentions all the places he lived and land he farmed- there are going to be a lot of land records for this fellow. It also mentions that he worked the small store that was separated from his father's farm after the settlement of the <i>estate</i> - bingo- probate records to go find too! I'm also finding that his father, George Henry Waesche, was a prominent figure in the community of Frederick County, MD in the later 1800s. It seems that the elder generation (Charles Albert's siblings, etc) are well talked about and there will be lots of records to find for them. Here's a link to that great book- I wonder if vol. 2 has any mention of the Waesche family as well...<br />

Its often the case, that when something good is coming your way, there's a monster under the bridge that wants to eat it and it seems there's no way you'll ever see that goodness except in tiny little shredded pieces...<br />
But then I remember all the times in the past that such times always work out in the end and the loots from the monster battle are glorious. Suck it up and give 'em heck!<br />
Sorry about all the music videos, but sometimes its necessary... speaking of <i>necessary</i>, I think that was the first time - ever - that I spelled that word correctly on my first go. wow. this is quite the day.<br />

The essence of all that is childhood should never leave us. Its that curiosity and joy of learning that gives life to the day-to-day. It increases appreciation for the small joys and beauties of this world. It keeps me breathing. I can't let that inner child go to Neverland forever; I make sure she visits as often as possible to play. There is too much to be said and a lifetime of learning on this subject that I am so intimate with. I love when others capture small snippits of how I feel. Thanks to Gotye and Ari Gibsonfor this beautiful story. Enjoy.</div>

<div>
I'm pretty sure that Autumn is my favorite season. When I step outside at dusk, in my charcoal grey zip-hoodie, and the smell of the decaying leaves in the cool air reaches my nose... I have to sigh and whisper a prayer of thanks. The summer is gone and the snow has not yet come.</div>
<div>
I'm going through a phase in my life where I feel that, like the turning and falling leaves, I'm changing. It feels like I'm on the brink of something grand, like I'm stepping into a new world, or about to uncover a lost treasure. Perhaps think of it as the moment Alice opened the door to Wonderland, or when Peter takes Wendy's hand and she flies for the first time. </div>
<div>
The change comes as I find myself wanting to refine myself, evolve, and become something more exquisite- and yet, something more simplistic. Content and happy, but hungry for that metamorphosis. Content, because I know it is attainable. Confident.</div>
<div>
Take a deep breath and open your eyes.</div>
