I’ve wanted to get in the habit of shooting every [...]

iPhone Color splash fun!

Have I mentioned that I love my iPhone? Love. And I really like that I have a camera on me at all times now — because as much as I love my beautiful, awesome, swoony Nikon D50, sometimes I don’t want to have a big camera with me. Having the built-in camera gives me a [...]

B is working on fulfilling one of his lifelong dreams this weekend, learning how to become a scuba diver (which means we will get to do lots of dives on our honeymoon!). He had the car all day yesterday and today, so I’ve had the house all to myself. Add to that, it has been [...]

My wreck journal, under the glass surface of my coffee table
Mission: Write one word over and over. I chose love.

B went out to play in a poker tournament, and I had a lovely evening at home. I made pizza for myself, watched some of Notting Hill while I ate, then had American Idol on while I painted and played in my Wreck journal. Felt good to get covered in paint and glue!
The tags say [...]

I am currently reading Gods Behaving Badly, courtesy of a great review from Library Girl Reads (Thanks Angela!) A fun, entertaining read, and makes me remember how much I was fascinated by Greek mythology.
I am also halfway through The Riddle, the second book in the Pellinor series. I put it down to read Gods Behaving [...]

Truly was born at 11:11 on November 11. She was born Truly Amber Devine, but she didn’t tell many people that. She figured Truly Devine was bad enough. The Devine came from her father, not The Father. She didn’t have much to say about that, as she had never met him. Or them, as she [...]
Spring springs

Spring begins to step out of her shell early here
but still reluctantly
Trees, dipped in cotton candy pink paint, have begun to pop up here and there
Buds and morning dew are artfully arranged on trees like christmas lights
Birds chatter happily to each other in the mornings
while geese fly about sounding bossy
But Spring is still timid, too [...]
