New shoes, whoo whoo.

My drama teacher freshman and sophomore year of high school used to say, "new shoes whoo whoo, old undies, p-u".  This is something I say to this day.  So thank you, Mr. Bromley.  Moving on, I got bit by the pre-spring bug just like everyone else seemed to this weekend and I went ahead and bought me some shoes to celebrate.  I got these guys and I really enjoy all these shoes.  Check them out for yourself.  These are now my official 2nd pair of shoes for the upcoming season.  I added these to my collection a couple weeks back.

sometimes we like to take a picture of ourselves in the reflection of a mirror. 

Friends with Cameras: February 2010

Here are the results of Friends with Cameras for the month of February 2010.  Interestingly, I took 4 shots of Deuce this month and again 4 shots of Mark.  They keep ending up in a tie for my attention.  Still taking pictures of my own belly too, I mean, it's HUGE, how could I not?  March will be an interesting month to pay attention to... I may have a new muse.

Keep up with our photos every day, here.
Mine are also kept here.

Nerd alert!

I always knew that Jake from this season of The Bachelor was a tool, but the look he's sporting here in this photograph really seals the deal.  Nice dude.  Nice.  The white shoes, leather jacket, and is that seriously a mock-neck shirt?  Oh man.  What a loser.

Happy birthday, Pops!

My old man's birthday is today. Happy birthday to Pops.

Adorable sandwiches.

How cute are these graphical representations of common sandwiches? Very cute is the response you should give. Makes me want to order a bunch of the paintings and put them up in a kitchen or dining nook. Oh to dream about a house with a dining nook. Wouldn't that be cool?

Dogs rule!

I've said it before and I'll say it again... dogs really do rule. Here's a Pedigree commercial shot with one of the Phantom cameras.

DJB Radio: New Order - Perfect Kiss

This song rules. Perfect song to turn my crabby mood around.

Umm... Adorable.

I don't really know what it is, but I love it.  Apparently these images are from a Duracell commercial.  Mark sent it to me and I want all of these little birdie things.  All of them.

Bing Bang by Anna Sheffield

Sometimes you have a shopping experience so awesomely wonderful that you have to share it with your friends.  Sometimes you write about it on the internet.  So, my wonderful sister in law, Annie, got me a pair of earrings for Christmas.

These earrings turned out to be WAY bigger than we realized in person.  She bought them from Steven Alan on Christmas Eve and didn't receive them until a couple weeks later.  She came to visit me, earrings in hand, a couple weeks after that.  By the time I got around to investigating a possible exchange, Steven Alan had posted a "no returns on items bought before Christmas 2009" message on their website.  Damn!

My plan B was to contact the jewelry maker herself, with a plan C of selling them on eBay.  To my surprise, Anna Sheffield has an amazing staff who are both super responsive and helpful!  I wrote about my predicament and they said to just send them the earrings and once they could prove they were unworn they would gladly exchange for anything.  Whhaaaa?  But I didn't even buy directly from them?  They didn't seem to care.  Flash forward to them receiving the earrings, and within minutes sending out my replacement pairs in the mail.  I've got to pay it forward and give them a little shout out on here.  So, I'll be receiving my new earrings in the mail tonight.  Huzzah!

*The second pair is also in rose gold, but the website didn't have them pictured.

Us. Dinner. Pizza.

Look how coordinated our outfits were last night. We rule.

Play or be played.
Game is as real as it gets.
Except when it's not.
