Life Things
Well, I’ve made it another year around the sun, and one year closer to my age 42 deadline. I am 37 years old. (How did that happen?!) So I’ve got five years left. That sounds like so much time, but I know I can’t expect to cram in all the Things in the last two…
Ok, I know I missed a week, but I was on a really good roll there for a while so I’m going to try to keep going. As long as I end up with 22 posts in six months, I’ll feel like the Blog Regularly Thing is a success. It was a rough week. Fig…
In pursuit of my Thing to blog every week for six months, I am writing a post today. (Technically two days late, but whatevs) I have to admit my heart isn’t in it. I’m still feeling very discouraged by the state of the world. And there have been some changes in my personal world lately…
One of my New Year’s resolutions was to do one fun family/kid thing every month. January’s nearly over so this Saturday, we headed down to Galveston. This trip had three purposes: first, to be a fun thing to do with Fig; second, to take pictures for my photography class homework; and third, to celebrate my…
I’ve been through two weeks of photography class and I love it! I thought I’d share the photos that I’ve taken for weekly assignments so far. Week One’s assignment was to learn about depth of field and aperture. So we were to line up three objects and take three photos. In the first one, just…
Something exciting happened this week — I started a four-week photography course at the Houston Center for Photography! I’ve been wanting to do one for my job for a while, and I finally gave up on the place where I usually take my classes ever doing a digital photo class again so I found this one…
I haven’t blogged in so long…I’m not sure where to start. I guess I’ll just catch you up on the Things I’ve been doing. I’ve made a few more Smitten Kitchen recipes — a slaw, alfredo shells and peas, and leek fritters with a sour cream lemon garlic sauce. All of them have been delicious…
Well, here I go again with the very irregular posting. See why blog consistently for 6 months is one of my Things? It will take some real effort. Granted, I do have a few good reasons for not being on top of my Things lately. I picked up some side work and it’s been gratifying…
It took me two weeks of thinking and reaching for ideas, but I finally completed the list of 42 things I like about my body. Forty-two is a LOT of things to like about yourself without digging into personality traits and accomplishments. Don’t worry, I won’t subject you to the full list, but I will…
I’ve been busy with Things and life and work and chasing my awesome baby all over the house. In the midst of that, I made another Smitten Kitchen recipe: Brownie Roll Out Cookies. They were fun to make. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a lot of pictures. A picture from the cookbook, the dry ingredients, and…
