Cool Stuff

Smog

April 13, 2009

I woke up wishing I had stayed behind in my dream.  There was a fire.  I saw a staircase. But the rest of the people were running past it for a second staircase, a more crowded staircase – almost impassable. I chose the empty staircase. There was someone else ahead of me. A man. But [...]

Shoot.

March 29, 2009

On Friday I took the morning off so I could get ready for my 11:00 a.m. photo shoot.  After Mia (she’s so awesome) took Benjamin to daycare my friend Del (just as awesome) came over at 9:00 a.m. to do my make up. And in less than two minutes my kitchen table looked like a [...]

My Camera (and My Aprons).

March 27, 2009

You’re all asking about the camera.  I thought you might but I didn’t want to shock you with the sticker price of my newest toy in my last post. To me, $679.00 is a hell of a lot of money but I splurged on this puppy anyway. Why? Because life is too damn short not [...]

His first and his last.

March 18, 2009

Because today was Benjamin’s first and his last third birthday and because I didn’t buy him a single present in Austin I spent my lunch break on a mission. My mission was to buy everything I would need to transform his room from a nursery/toddler room…  [Click to continue, although, be warned - there are [...]

Austin

March 17, 2009

On Saturday morning I slipped away in the middle of the night to jump on another plane. This time Benjamin had to stay behind. I let him fall asleep in my bed so I could watch him drift while I packed. He spent his last few moments awake begging me to stay, “Mommy, take me [...]

Neither here, nor there.

February 26, 2009

I’m not sure where this little vacation will take us. But our much needed reprieve from life will be just in time to catch the Joshua trees blooming. Spring hits early there. The Joshua Tree National Park lies directly in the path of two merging deserts. One more lush and green, where the Joshua trees [...]

Old habits.

February 22, 2009

They die hard. Still haven’t had a cigarette. Went through some major withdrawal attacks this weekend but Morgan was there to cheer me on… and I made it. This is hard though. I miss them already. Those evil little cancer sticks. I’m not sure if I can do this. I’m just not. But I know [...]

No place like home.

February 7, 2009

Okay. I know. I can’t click these heels and be delivered from evil, but… they make me feel like I could. They’re amazing. My dream flats. And they were only $17.99 at Target. This picture doesn’t do them justice, just wanted you to know they’re on sale this week — because they won’t last. And [...]

Shadows & Light

February 1, 2009

This weekend I took off for Nashville to meet that Matt guy up for a concert in a cave.  Yep. A concert in a cave. (That’s me before the show started.)  Needless to say, it was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever experienced. I’m sure Matt will give the concert, the band, and [...]
