i saw this on swissmiss’ flickr photostream and couldn’t help but laugh…reminds me of just a few months ago when jennifer and i got stuck in our office elevator - quite the experience!
my heart wanders
i was perusing some random blogs today when i came across this on pia jane bijerk’s blog, “enhance the everyday.” the project is called “my heart wanders: a collection of subtle hearts in special places.” it is a collective book project that involves people taking photos of heart shapes in random/unexpected places. it is open for anyone to enter and the images so far look beautiful…i can’t wait to see the result!

my niece kaitlin at age 1
i love it when i find old stuff i’ve forgotten about…especially film. after the move, i went through all my old camera equipment and came across 4 or 5 rolls of film that were undeveloped. a couple of them were nothing spectacular, and one is still being processed (they said it will take about a week or so). but this one just made me smile. these shots were taken with my Canon AE1 - it was my dad’s and i still love using it. i think some of my best shots ever were taken with this camera.
these were taken with black and white fuji film and are about 2 years old - pretty sure around thanksgiving to christmas of 2005.

weekend review (finally)
so i’m just now getting around to posting my “weekend fun times” from last weekend. here goes…
friday was the wildflower festival in richardson, it was so much fun! we saw loverboy and bat benatar. pat was amazing i really had no expectations, just wanted to have fun, but man she’s still got it! the pics didn’t end up so great, so sorry about not having any.
saturday was definitely an adventure! i went with some girlfriends to the assassination city roller derby. it was in mesquite, tx, at a local skating rink. the first bout was inter-league with the bombshell brigade vs. the lone star assassins. for the second bout, the deadly kennedys beat the central arkansas rockin’ renegade. the halftime (not sure if that’s the right term…) entertainment was fun, first was the “urban glow”

loft-y goals
since stephen and i have moved into our loft, we’ve been doing some “home improvements” here and there. when you live in a place that has mostly brick walls, hanging pictures becomes a huge task. one of the biggest things we needed to do was re-do the closet. i love everything about our place, but the closet was a disaster. it is small, and was equipped with a crappy rack that barely could hold half of my clothes, much less mine and stephen’s together! so for the past month we’ve been dealing with clothes and shoes everywhere while stephen designed a new closet contraption. well, it’s finished!! and i love it, our new closet kicks our old closet’s ass.
old closet (you can imagine the frustration, right?)

weekend fun times III
sorry for the delay in posting, but my internet is down at home so i have to find time before work to post…so here goes!
i made it out to taste addison with a few friends on friday. ran into the beautiful nicole who made sure that we got the extra special treatment in vip…nice to have great friends in good places! it was a really nice vibe; lots of people, delicious food, and good music. i surprisingly liked switchfoot a lot…even though it’s not really my thing, the band was really energetic and put on a good show. i’m sure gavin degraw did a good job, but we left mid-set cause i was so tired (lame, i know).
what’s a festival without a turkey leg?!

rangers big win!
stephen and i went to our first ever rangers game last night! it was so much fun…while i’m an astros fan, i was glad to see the rangers actually win a game! plus, it was dollar dog night, and you can’t beat that!
my jalapeño dog … yum.
it was so exciting, because we were able to see the big grand slam by josh hamilton!

what a gem!
all i can say is wow…these images are from the “gallery of glamore” and are part of the “mobile museum of gem sweaters.”
clockwise from top left are “flight of rejoice,” “genie of the lamp,” “lotion of ocean,” and “neon flash cash.”
i, for one, am so pleased and relieved that they are documenting these great art forms and fashion statements that we once thought were obsolete. to see more of these beauties, please go here. enjoy.
