It’s just been one of those stressful mornings. There were projects to do as soon as I walked into the office, and I’ve been stressing about a looming decision I have to make concerning grad school (a good problem, but stressful, nonetheless). So, when my boyfriend asked me this morning if I’d seen the Peeps Show winners yet, my first thought was, I didn’t even know they were up! Followed quickly by, but I don’t have the time!
But I took the time. Because sometimes you just need to remember to breathe and to appreciate creativity and imagination. It might not help me get my project done any faster, or make my decision any easier, but it will put me in a better mood as I work and contemplate. And that’s a start.
Ed. note: As pointed out, my stress level is showing. Apparently I can’t distinguish between 2009 and 2010 anymore. So, the following photos are actually from last year. A day late and a dollar short – story of my life. (But the old ones are now followed by this year’s winner and finalists. I’m pretty sure. Just scroll all the way down.)
So, in case you haven’t seen them yet either, here’s the winner last year’s winner:
NightPeeps by Melissa Harvey, Arlington
Followed by a few of my favorite Peeps Shows this last year:
M.C. Escher's "RelativiPeep" by Mark Rivetti, Silver Spring
Charm City Roller Peeps vs. D.C. Roller Peeps by Hilary Christian, Baltimore
Sweet Revenge by Tim Reagan and Tessa Reagan of Silver Spring
Of course, now I’m craving marshmallow, but I’ll survive.
And now, the real winners and favorites from this year. I think. Maybe. I hope.
Winner:
EEP by Michael Chirlin and Veronica Ettle of Arlington
And a couple other favorites:
Peepocalypse 2010: Dupont Circle Snowball Fight, by Dennis Chong of the District and Carolyn Prince Racich of McLean
Super Peepio Brothers, by Mark Rivetti of Silver Spring
So there you go. Did I get the year right this time?
I need a nap.
