I almost literally slept through this week. Coming down with some kind of sickness, I was expecting that after 2 weekends of wind, sun, and mead. I just didn’t quite expect it to hit so hard. Wednesday morning, I woke up with a sore throat and zero energy. I called my boss and went back to sleep. I woke up for breakfast, made echinacea defense tea, and went back to sleep. I woke up to snack and shambled out to my cooking class with Aurora. (Link up soon.) I came home, watched LOST, took Tylenol PM and went to sleep....

A lot has happened since last weekend. But most of them captured in photos. First, last Saturday we had the photography meet up in Lancaster with #Phototwop (@captures) for the Poppy Reserve hike and the Poppy festival. Unfortunately, we were much too late for the poppies except for a few patches on the side of the road. We still had a great picnic and a maniacal hike up a VERY windy hill. The next day, Brandon and I and his friends hit the Renaissance Faire as civilians. Armed with our cameras, we got our Ren Faire photo bugs out of...

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNU0KoBIIdE] The show hasn’t even started yet but I have Glee on my brains. Talentless little outcast who just wants to sing. My life story? Yep, pretty much. Also, once a choir geek, always a choir geek. Since I saw the clip a couple of days ago, I have music–just random songs–playing in my head all day and caught myself walking around singing or humming. Not that I’ve been extraordinary happy or anything. I just feel like singing. I mean, I was waiting for the bus today. Looking around the people around me, I imagined myself breaking into a song....

I have been submitting “Action Shots” to ThinkGeek.com for a while now. C.H.I.M.P. Bunny here and Expendable there. So when the final purchase of my shirt-tastic shopping spree came in (I mean, Rock – Paper – Scissors – Lizard – Spock!? How could you NOT buy?), it took all of 5 minutes for us to set up this shot Brandon took, and for me to submit with suggested caption of “You Spocking to me?” Ladies and gentlemen, you are now looking at the winning portrait of ThinkGeek.com’s Action Shot of April 2009. It didn’t take ThinkGeek team long to approve...

I went to my local cupcake shop, Charmed Cupcakes, to buy some for the office birthday party tomorrow. “I would like to get 3 cupcakes, please. And can you please put them in one box?” “Actually, I can’t.” “Excuse me?” “I can’t put 3 cupcakes in one box. But I can do two of them in one and one of them by itself.” Odd. I’ve gotten cake in bigger boxes before. “Oh, I guess that’s okay. Now, I would like 4 more cupcakes, please.” “Do you want them in one box?” “Can you do that?” “Yes.” She put 4 cupcakes–eventually...
