Eric the Artist

Eric has decided to explore his artistic side and take up painting. Look for it-- coming soon to a living room near you!

Spring into Action

Eric and I ventured out last weekend to one of the sculpture gardens in DC. Everything is starting to bloom and I can definitely tell it's spring--- ALLERGIES! It's a good thing that the weather is improving.

It's Better in the Bahamas

I won a trip at the end of last year to the beautiful Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. Here is just a snapshot of our trip. We loved all of the fish tanks and had a blast going down the water slides into the shark tank. The fish were great and the weather was amazing.

This was Eric's favorite sea creature. It must be some type of sting ray. It was enormous!

And then we came home to this.

Thoroughly Modern

While I was home a couple weeks ago, my sweet grandma took me out for a show. We went to the play "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and it inspired me. I decided to bob my hair! I loved having long hair, but I do love short hair.

"Good bye, good goody girl. I'm changing and how. So beat the drum cuz here comes thoroughly modern Millie now!"

Freeze Frame

So I've been playing with the shutter speed on my camera and I'm a little proud of myself that I was able to take some decent photos. This last one of the tree is my favorite. I love the intricacies of the branches and believe it or not, it was a pitch black sky. I guess the longer you leave your shutter open, the more blue your sky becomes. I love it. I'm no professional, but I like what I'm seeing.

For Lydia

Months and Months ago, my friend Lydia tagged me on her blog. I was supposed to write 6 things about myself that were non-important facts. Of course I have been going crazy thinking about what to say. So here goes nothing:

1- I'm totally weirded out by things that creep, crawl, squirm, scutter, and slither---to the extent that I have nightmares about having them all over me! I always jump when I see them on tv or if I catch a shadow out of the corner of my eye.

2-I don't like getting my hair cut because I don't like it when the stylist brushes the hair in my face and I have to leave it there while she cuts. It drives me mad!! It tickles my face and I hate having it there. I often move it to the side just to have the stylist move it back.

3-I'm weird about what tip my pen is. Depending on the surface and the space I am writing in, I choose how fine I would like my tip to be. I know this is a common one, but I often will rewrite or fill out another form to change my pen point so that I like the way my hand writing looks. OCD?

4-The pink key chain. I bought this super cute key chain when I was working at Banana Republic. I think I even bought it before I was married. I bought it and wanted to save it until I bought myself my first car. Five years later, I still haven't purchased myself a car and the key chain still sits in my jewelry box.

5-I prefer to eat muffins with a fork.'

6-So unfortunately there is no 6. I've taken this long to come up with 5 quirky things about myself and I think that's enough.

Lydia, I hope this satisfies your curiosity.
