Fourth of July 2011, The DSLR Edition

I’m a slacker. Well, not really. But summer has gotten the best of me.  I barely open my laptop, and use my desktop mostly.  I’ve been slow to respond to emails, and editing pictures, well, who has time for that?  In between the pool, the beach, BBQ’s, and everything else….time is flying by.  I finally [...]

Disneyland, From a Five-Foot-Four Viewpoint

We received our tax return at the beginning of the month.  I paid some overdue bills and other things.  We usually renew our Disneyland Season Passes with our tax return.  We’ve done it for the past four years. But this year, I completely forgot. I received paperwork from Disneyland for the pass, but I put [...]

Once upon a time, Angry Kid and I were in a wedding

Last Saturday, one of my lifelong friends finally got hitched.  Angry Kid and I were in the wedding as a ring bearer and a bridesmaid. Obviously, I was the bridesmaid. Angry Kid doesn’t like to wear dresses. On Friday, we drove up to Malibu for the wedding rehearsal.  It was an almost two hour drive.  [...]

Sweet Shot Tuesday: Wolfie

I was chasing Angry Kid around in the front yard over the weekend to try and get some pictures for Valentine’s Day cards. He was not cooperating very well. Meanwhile, our dogs wanted to hang out with me. They were tired of being chased by the kid. Our dog, Wolfie, rolled on her back, as [...]

Sweet Shot Tuesday: Hair Product

Taken with my iPhone4 and edited/posted with the Instagram app. Some people think that it is much easier to have short hair.  You just wash and go, right?  I actually spend more time on my short hair than I did with my long hair.  I used to live with an eternal ponytail.  I got tired [...]

Sweet Shot Tuesday: 50mm/1.8D

I got a new lens for Christmas.  It is the Nikon AF 50mm/1.8D.  I’ve been wanting it for awhile now.  I finally put it on my list for Santa.  I guess my mom was Santa this year because I received a little brownish colored box with my favorite brand on it, Nikon. Angry Kid has [...]

Nectar of the Gods

I gave up my Monster Energy Drinks in May.  It was a hard transition.  Until I focused on the nectar of the gods, Dr. Pepper.  I prefer a fountain Dr. Pepper with crushed pebble ice over the can, but in a jam, the can is beautiful.  Who could say anything bad about this?  Some people [...]

The Fourfecta

I would like to start this post off with a little perfection, or as we would like to call it, the $4.99 martini.  On Saturday night, while I was in New York, I had one of these.  As you can see, there are four of them in this picture.  I had one and the other [...]
