throughout the day

This is what I do.

I look at my computer. At photos. At colors. At hues. At levels of exposure.

All day.

Every day.

This is what I do, now.

But holy freakin’ shit, it is SO NOT WHAT I USED TO DO.

And that is just fine by me!

Happy as a clam.

Happy, yes, I am.

teeny tiny cottage

Wednesday July 28, 2010

Oh my goodness! One of my favorite blogs, Door Sixteen, just posted a story about this tiny cottage and I had to share it as well!

I want to escape to this place — simply amazing! Read the whole story on the NY Time website.

I like that I have an iPhone AND a backyard garden.

Because a few moments ago I took this photo of our garden, converted it to a vintage polaroid with my .99 cent ShakeItPhoto app, emailed it to myself from my phone, came inside, downloaded it to my desktop, and uploaded it to this blog post.

I like that I have an iPhone AND a backyard garden — because they both respond to my touch.

things are heating up

If you ask me summer is officially here. We had a few ridiculously humid days a week ago that just about did me in.  I had to keep heading to the basement to cool myself down.

But today, well, today is gorgeous. It is hot – but not humid – with just the right amount of breeze to cool me off.

I have been keeping busy with the house and with work.  Here are a few photos of the new living room (new paint, a few pillows, a new rug, and switched up lighting).  Photos of the bathroom (new paint) will be up soon. The house needed some tweaks to keep it fresh and the minor changes I have been making have really made a big difference.  Feels great!

Also, I have been meeting with couples and booking weddings for this season and for 2011!  It is so fun meeting new people, seriously, best part of the job for me.

Our garden was planted a few weeks ago and is already popping — the heat with a few days of rain was just the magic it needed — I can’t wait for summer basil and cherry tomatoes…yum!

Even more photos and videos to come soon — I have been playing around with my 5D Mark ll HD video — and I am realizing more and more that I have a very cool camera!

Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!

thursday is cleaning day

Thursday May 6, 2010

If I’m being honest….the 10 boxes my parents dropped them off a few weeks ago are still in the porch waiting to be gone through (9th grade..10th grade, etc. yikes!)….the dishes haven’t been washed since I made cookies two days ago….and there are numerous dust bunnies behind the doors.

Thursday definitely needs to be cleaning day!
