MOOOOVING

Alright, so since this site is hating formatting anything correctly I'm fed up with it. I'm off to try another server. There might be some hopping around for a while, but for now you can find me here:

See ya <3

This is not a food blog.

I just had a very hipster housewifey week.  The weekend was actually photo related, but since I got home it's been straight cooking and crafting.

Today: May the fourth be with you.  Yeah, I think the boy is going to be content with his anniversary present.

Tuesday: Minecraft creeper plushie.  RAWR.  First stuffed animal that I've actually completed.  He came out pretty well, and didn't take nearly as long as I expected.  Boyfriend present part 1.

Sidenote: Sushigasm. The best part?  There was enough to have a repeat of this lunch on Wednesday.

Monday:  See why the food blog comment was necessary?  Monday was sort of a nothing day.  Lots of planning, whining over the fact that the weather was crappy; it called for comfort food.  So in the spirit of having time on my hands I concocted some lasagna roll ups with cottage cheese, lots of roasted veggies, spicy-ness, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.  Two types of cheese in one dish = bi-winning.

Sunday: Went out to a neighborhood potluck on Broadwell Hill.  It was kind of epic.  That kid's face basically sums up the awesomeness of the experience.  

And not only were there goats.  There were BABY GOATS.  Four of them to be exact.  I pretty much died of cute overload.

Saturday: Spent the day with Kathy wandering around in the woods.  It was nice to be outside on the one day in the past decade that it hasn't been raining.  Honestly, is it summer yet?

Friday:  I took very few photos but this one (and my amazing capture of falling rice) came out alright.  I'm going to save myself the embarrassment and leave it at that.

Sweet little lies.

Thursday: Burned lots of things. Thank you boyfriend for being my photo-grapher.

Wednesday: Equally depressing.  This photo sucks, and I don't even care cause it took way too much effort to even take it.

Tuesday: I swear I have never been so sore in my life.  Spent the day curled up on the couch staring at the one nice day of the month that I was missing out on.

Monday: This picture is kind of slutty, but tasteful pole dancing photos when you're cramped with seriously lacking equipment and you're acting as both model and photographer are hard to come by.  I was way too hyperactive, I have never worked out and pole danced so much in one day.  Lordy.

Easter, Kittens, and lots of cute.

Sunday: Hoppy Easter! The boy and I decorated eggs before I headed back up to Cleveland in the afternoon.  

Yes, we bought the Spongebob Squarepants egg decorating kit.  We are most definitely very mature 20 and 22 year olds. =)

....annnd another adorable photo of Sasha because quite frankly I can't help myself. I mean really, not only is she the cutest thing ever but she's totally modeling for this shot.  

Saturday:  This is my attempt at roller skating and playing with my iPhone at the same time.  Since I didn't fall while shooting this I consider it a success.   

Yay lots of Sasha!  I can't wait for her meowumentary.  Seriously.  So. Dang. Cute.

Friday:  It was super rainy and I was definitely feeling it.  Got the tire fixed since, you know, I have impeccably bad luck and what-not.  Spent the rest of the day being as lazy as possible and watching lots of Criminal Minds.  Alex made dinner and I made us banana ice cream and a potato experiment.  =)

I am good about taking a photo a day. I am not so good about uploading and editing a photo a day =P

Thursday: Went to Take Back the Night yesterday.  Aside from the really annoying cop cars blasting blue and red light everywhere, it was pretty sweet =)

Wednesday: Aperture clock.  Just need to attach the mechanical parts and it will officially be adorageekyable.

Tuesday: I was trying to get a lightning shot but the clouds were way too thick.  Still got epically creepy light happening though.

I HAVE A COMPUTER AGAIN. AND IT CAN CLICK.

Monday: Back at home, cuddled with this guy last night.

Sunday: View from Adam's hall, I feel a little cliche with all of the sunset shots but it was a nice goodbye to my dorm.

Saturday: High Fest.  This is the first official fest I've gone too, it wasn't thrilling.  Date night was fun though.

Friday: MetalMelon.

Athens.

Back in Athens.

Ha, I'm just putting this up to be annoying.  Love you =P

 So um yeah I'm about ready to murder my computer soooo this might not get updated for a few days.  Blargh >.< Can I be crowned the queen of technology failure yet?

Powdered sugar. Everywhere.

Irish car bomb cupcakes - chocolate guinness cake, whisky ganache, and bailey's frosting. Woot.

Productive day =)

The beauty myth.

I found this prettiness because I was wandering on the phone with my wife.

This is more what my day was like though.  Cloudy and cold but totally worth it to sit and read for a while.

It was another pretty good day =)  I could get way too used to spending the day painting and reading outdoors.  Got to see my grandparents as well, which is sort of a strange situation because although it's good to see them it's also super sad.
I really hope I can keep this up.  Trying to internalize everything that I'm feeling so that I can stick through it because things are bound to get tough again.

Hipster Day.

I almost lost my phone for this photo.

Today was pretty good.  Spent the morning grocery shopping and working out and then went and relaxed in a coffee shop with my face buried in a book and felt like a hipster.  Crafts are slowly being completed!
Okay, I'm too lazy to write anything else because I want to finish painting my recipe box.  Athens in 2 days! (I'm not counting my in-transit time)

Life is an adventure.

Cheetah toes =)

So today was better.  Sunshine always helps, and I'm kind of at the point of just faking it for a while.  Lots of painting, guitaring, drawing, sculpting, writing, reading, photoing, etc, etc.
Three more full days til I'm Athens bound.  I couldn't be more ready to see society again.

I don't even know what to say.

Not okay.

Stuck.

The hardest part of moving forward is not looking back.

Nothing Day

Playing with strobes =P

Today was pretty low key.  Just worked out, got ready, ran some errands, and caught up with Brandon.  It was okay, but I'm excited to have a day to just craft and see family tomorrow.
I need to make some designated thinking time without letting it turn into panic.  I miss Athens.  Home doesn't feel like home.  It sucks knowing that this is where I have to be right now.
I wish things were easy, but I guess that in the long run this is the best thing I could possibly put myself through.  Time to step it up.

Here we go.

Day 01.

I'm at a big turning point in my life, so it seems as good of a time as any to start doing a photo a day sort of documentation.  At the very least I hope it will keep me honest about what I'm doing with my life right now.
I chose to start with a pretty straightforward self portrait.  It sums me up.  I'm vulnerable, I don't really know who I'm becoming, I'm a photographer, and I'm an art nerd.  So, here goes nothing.
