I did not know that key limes aren’t the same as regular limes. I thought Key Lime Pie was just the name for a kind of pie, like German chocolate cake. It turns out that it’s a pie made specifically out of a fruit called a key lime. A key lime is also known as a Christmas Swingle. What [...]

I’m Screaming Obscenities In My Head Right Now
August 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment · News
AUGHHH. I am so angry about the Palin VP nod that I actually had to stop reading blogs and newspapers just now, turn off the CNN video feed, and do some real work for awhile. Sure, Obama doesn’t have that much national experience, other than four years as a Senator and six years as a [...]

Metaphorically Speaking
August 28th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering
Some weeks drag on for so long that by the middle of the week, you actually believe it might be Monday already, and you start a whole new week in your head, and then you’re surprised when it’s actually Friday. Better yet, the Friday before Labor Day weekend, so you have three whole days of [...]

Visit to Adam-ondi-Ahman
August 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Travel
A couple of weeks ago, my parents and I toured through Daviess County on our way west to meet family, and we visited Adam-ondi-Ahman and Far West. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention it, since I have been blabbing about wanting to go there for months and months. (Almost a year.) I have [...]

Checking Off My List of “Things To Do This Summer”
August 25th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering
I had such a productive, awesome weekend, especially since it was my first weekend without any photo responsibilities. On Friday, I went grocery shopping and to Target and even poked around some clothes stores, because I seem to be hyper about seeing new fall styles. I don’t know what my problem is. But it was [...]

Why I Smell My Wrist All The Time These Days
August 25th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering
Up until recently, I had not worn perfume with any regularity since I was about 13. (Love’s Baby Soft, of course: the smell of every pre-teen female in the 80s and early 90s). But lately I am in love with this scent from Pacifica, Waikiki Pikake, and I just can’t get enough of it. It is so [...]

August 18th, 2008 · No Comments · Photography, Weddings
It has been quite a summer for me. I have had a lot of work to do- lots of events, lots of post-processing, a and a lot of things going on in my personal life. I am surprised that it is still summer, but then- it’s not! Everyone is going back to school this week [...]

August 18th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Movies/TV, Photography
For the first time since April or May, I don’t owe anyone any photos and I don’t have anything coming up in the next few weeks. I am FREE!!! Well, not entirely true. I owe family photos from the Fourth of July that I will probably do tonight. And I have plenty of my own [...]

Mostly About the Olympics
August 15th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Movies/TV
A few things are bothering me about the Olympics this year. The schedule bothers me, for instance. I am not going to stay up all night to watch the results, which means that I inevitably find out what happened by seeing it in the headlines the next day, which means there’s no suspense when I [...]
