Summer flowers
I'm playing some serious catch up here. I've decided to post pictures from my recent trip to DC and northern Virginia to get me caught up. This one is from the toll booth on the Ohio turnpike.
ew gross, yay baltimore!

We went out in search of a laundromat today... It's a pretty hip place, with free wifi, a coffee shop, and tanning beds!

I actually was surprised to find Surprise Lillies in my backyard!
Organized my pantry today!
I slept all day today. Didn't really leave the house. So here's a picture of me with a cow! This is from my trip home. I grew up raising these (Guernseys) and showing them at the county fairs as part of 4-H and FFA. I miss my cows!!

OK.  Serious lack of inspiration so iPhone QuadCamera application photo of my tea flask.
<br>  Charging iphone at work.  It bugs me that you can only download stuff to your iphone from one computer.  I am sure there are ways to do it, I just haven't figured it out yet.  That old printer just behind the phone is like 10 years old and it keeps spitting out printed paper.  I did ask for a new printer and hopefully it will be in the budget for next year.  My scrapbook friends will notice the paper storage even at work.<br><br>

About 30 of these old cars came into town today they were awesome!

369 - <b>Ugh</b><br><i>Chesterton, IN</i><br><br>
While taking some time to rest during our drive across the country, I got sick again... Only puked once though. I think it was more because I hadn't really eaten anything in two days, so my stomach was tearing itself apart...
Bleh it was hot out this weekend.
tubing at Stacy's cabin

August 8

Yesterday I had dinner with Sunny & Taylor at a local sushi place.  The food was great, and I couldn't get over how ADORABLE our waiter was!  He was so cute, even had freckles on his nose <3
We had crab at Carolyn's for Robert's birthday.  Yummo!!

After visiting mum in the hospital Emily and I headed off to Acer Arena at Homebush to see David Copperfield. What a show. We had dinner, enjoyed the show, each others company and much needed girly night.

I'd forgotten how oddly satisfying it is to watch the Gilmore girls.

Today I saw my babyyyyyyy. : )
Rofl, I went to the mall and splurged all my money on these gloves I've wanted for a while at Hot Topic.
I had my first practice with Nikki Warner and her band tonight.  I packed up my bass and an acoustic and headed over but I didn't take any pictures there.  I was pretty nervous but it went ok and now I just need to start practicing all her songs so I can get them down.

August 11

Some days you just can't do enough before you fry. Is it Friday yet? :D
My 'fortune' today from a fortune cookie I had. I think all my loved ones are of utmost importance...
The last bit of cleaning up to do since the construction of my new computer.
Irony: a 'green' company, from which I bought recycled products, sent me two shipments (on two different days). The one that arrived today was a box with a catalog on it. *shaking my head*
I'm enjoying the last few days of no traffic before school begins again. Soon this will be a parking lot every morning...

She likes to roll around in the bathtub :)
Crazy spider web.
The sorting is finally wrapping up! I've been resorting these three sets for the past two and a half years... Ever since I moved to Boston. I'm looking forward to having them built again.
lets make love
Lesson of the day: Even my internet wants me to go to bed.
This is my kitchen window, currently home to a dozen or so glass jars and other similar objects. We have the cliched white lace curtains, too *lol*

Day 226 of Project 365 = work, errands, a completely wierd fascination with my sweet potato that has started to sprout (it reminds me of Dr. Suess), puppy-cuddling, movie, bed.
me
This is my husband Shaun - the love of my life. High school sweethearts and beyond! Considering the fact that I he is part of myself and my being, he is sure to be in future self portraits. He is always hiding around in the background somewhere anyways.

Went out to a bar called Mugshots tonight to meet some very good friends of ours Joe and Jamie (which are getting married soon YAY LOVE!) for a few drinks. The night ended up with the 4 of us cramping inside a photobooth and it was amazing.

I love things like that. Small strips of photos can really sum up your life, emotions and how you feel at any given time.

Well, here you go! Thought I would share...

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!

BWAHAHAHHAHA!
“What is it that love does to a woman? Without, she only sleeps; with it alone, she lives.”

Our new apartment is starting to come together (even if the screws only screw half way)
Super Girl. After almost an hour of shooting the Jammin The Net team this morning my bosses daughter wanted me to capture her sweet trick... which was 1. running, 2. jumping, and finally 3. landing that jump. It was a lot of fun to capture her in her jump.
After church we have been finding ourselves picking up Taco Bell.  We all love it though I think Gabriel enjoys it more than the rest of us. lol
idk what this is either.. but it grows all over the place at the beach..

August 18

I actually only took two shots this day, one before this and then this one... I just loved how it turned out. Sometimes it is hard to get a good shot of Harpo since he rarely stays still unless sleeping... but he is looking right into the camera on this one... and it even kinda looks like I'm using a fisheye lens (which I'm not), isn't he cute?
Continuing Red theme: Hubby's co-worker gave us these China gifts from when she visited her homeland China. From top to bottom, left to right: bookmarks that have painted masks, green tea cookie, mixed spice chestnut & a good luck charm.
My fav. And my new hair!
Look at the drool...lol.

We're REAL pirates now. Morgan added this flag to our living room. Yay!
for a change of scenery, today Carter and I went to the playground at his school. We had the place to ourselves and he had lots of fun climbing and playing on 'his playground' all by himself. I let Carter choose today's picture out of the handful that I took and this was his pick. I may need to bribe the oldest for a similar shot now since Connor and Carter both have pictures like this. :)

The hidden treasure of Grove Court, in the Greenwich Village. <a href='http://www.forgotten-ny.com/Alleys/GREENWICH%20VILLAGE/green.html'>Read more about it (link)</a>.
Went out to get protect pictures of my chain maille. I'm loving the more natural look.
Walked around the farmer's market today and discovered these strange beans. Really cool, but strange. At the same booth were some purple bell peppers too which I also took a pic of. I decided to go with this one as my pic though.
My staff did the ROPES course today.  It was raining, but they all had a lot of fun.
Nicole's 1st time playing catcher.  Brandon pitching.  The girls in the treehouse at Mallory's birthday party.  Nicole is on the top platform way above the treehouse with Ms. Monica.  I was too chicken to go up there.

ugh, unpacking.
Look at me. I'm teething.
Like the way this one turned out for some reason.
Sunset Junction.
This is my dog's favourite toy. She had it for almost a year, until last night she tragically decided to kill her best friend, Carrot.
Yummy~ steaks and corn on the cob.  Jim's pool team had a cookout today with their scratch money.  Everytime one of them scratch's while shooting they put a quarter in.  There sure has been a lot of scratching going on.

August 24

MGM Grand ~ Los Bay-Haas compliments of the Bernardo's
This morning Mr. Dragonfly was laying on our lawn.  I touched him and he moved his legs.  He must be too cold.  I bet he's waiting for the sun to warm him.
386 - <b>Wild Side</b><br><i>Warren, RI</i><br><br>
Jam time
Finally, Fish and Chips!  We'd wanted to treat the Kong family out for a F&C dinner, but as it turned out, Desmond had to pay for the dinner 'cos we didn't have enough cash!!  What an embarrassement!  The lady's studying to be a boring accountant...in her own words...:)

August 25

No, I didn't punch him!  He was working on a car!
Morning dew makes spider traps in the grass highly visible!
LUNCH! The yummy baked beans I made last weekend. Such an interesting mix of flavors and textures...
The first one of the summer!
This is probably my worst room ever. Round objects are my nemesis when it comes to playdoh. But it was the best I could do. Not saying I'll never try a bathroom again, but yeah, this is what we have for the day.

Sitting, enjoying the nice weather at the park, where we went for dinner
'Once I spoke the language of the flowers, once I understood each word the caterpillar said, once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings, and shared a conversation with the housefly in my bed. Once I heard and answered all the questions of the crickets, and joined the crying of each falling dying flake of snow, once I spoke the language of the flowers...How did it go? How did it go?'
current reading material.

71 CUDA. ORANGE.

Day 61
late night pizza with the roomies
Back on US soil...this was taken after landing in Portland, Oregon.  I flew from Bangkok to Tokyo which was about a 6 hour flight and then from Tokyo to Portland which was over 9 hours...and here in Portland I was facing another 5 hour flight.  By the time I landed in Atlanta my knees were permanantly frozen in the seated position!

Let's Play a Game! Joanna and I went to see our church family while we were back in our old college town. Neil and Norma picked us up and took us and then they also took us to the Airport. They're amazing. They had the service at a park this Sunday which they do every year. One lady came around and had us all play this game where we tried to drop clothes pins from our nose into the jar. As you can see... Neil made it in!

Not a bad day. Hung out with a good friend and then tagged along to a party where I got to play around taking pictures of this gazebo. :)
