This sunrise surprised me when I was working yesterday - yes I was on site at 06:00 already! I promised someone a sunrise - this one's for you, Mr Famous! :)
* Technically I suppose that sun is too hot (I know, Mr T! LOL) but I just love the look of this. I hope you do too.
Halloween is almost here, what do you think of this beautiful lip color?

Two weeks today and we will be in the air on our way for another trip to South Africa. Time has flown so fast since we first began booking our trip and it is now so close. We will be visiting a couple of new places this time - Motswari Private Game Reserve and the Kgalagardi Transfrontier Park (so exciting) as well as Pilanesberg Game Park and Kruger National Park.
I made Mummy Giraffe a while back and decided to make a baby giraffe to take with me as a gift for a friend.

I was off work today and I got a ton of stuff done. If I had a day off every week, I might be able to get and stay organized. Probably not. I'd spend that day doing something fun instead.
Anyway, I did get a boatload of things accomplished today. And in my organizing, I found a book on CD in my old car that was a loaner from the library. I decided to go over there and turn myself in. The woman at the library scanned the code, but nothing was coming up, she tried again. She tried typing in the numbers. Nothing. Not recognized at all. I told her that maybe there was a warrant out because I'd had it so long. She laughed and said that perhaps they charged my library card for the book. She checked that and my card was clean. No charges and no holds. She told me that maybe I should go play lotto. And she told me not to forget who suggested that. So, when I left the library I went and bought a lotto ticket for tonight. I probably won't check it for a couple months though.

I would like to thank everyone who have made donations already. I really appreciate it. I think everyone has been touched personally by breast cancer. I am walking in memory of five women who have touched me over the course of my life, and in honor of friends currently fighting.

Added to Monthly Scavenger Hunt (MSH) July 2102 19. Medal
This is the same medal Pat showed us in handsome detail, the one on display at the British Museum.
Her great capture is here: www.flickr.com/photos/33929747@N07/7131779871/
Recognize the background? Pat got a lot cosier with it than I did, with beautiful results
Baby is considered full term now and is 6 1/3 lbs and a bit over 19 inches.
We're so excited to take our next picture with the baby :)
Julia Roberts, sunset drawing by Chris Girsch and Jimmy O'neil, Carissa Young, lyrics to "Almost Here" by Delta Goodrem and Brian McFadden, a pirate mask, me as a flower girl in my uncle's wedding when I was 5, Sierra, sheet music to "The Happy Song", "Love" in Chinese, written by Danna Lu, 8 different photo-booth pictures, the Christmas card that Tyler gave me, my lime green lamp, my even lime-r green shag carpets that my grandma gave me, my Hawk Nelson hat, my lifeguard whistle, an assortment of headbands and keychains, an outlet, and a door stopper.
In other words, getting distracted by things other than the task at hand. Like documenting my newly-magenta toenails.
Out on a morning walk and ran into this gorgeous creature. Add a little sunlight and mix together for my shot of the day.

Pretty soon this will be my back yard - yippee! A fun jump shot on the pedestrian bridge in Santa Monica.
Day 75 of 365: a year in songs and photos
Song: Atmosphere, Trying To Find A Balance
I'm finally packing. I like to save everything for the last minute. In less than 48 hours, I will be in California.
This is my first 'real' vacation. Well, my first vacation that won't include having breakfast with Winnie the Pooh. I know, I've lived a sheltered life. Hell, this is my first time going anywhere off the east coast!
Travel wasn't always on my agenda because I hate flying. But your fears are easier to face when you have someone holding your hand through them.
A couple of people here and there asked why the hell I am going to Sacramento. Mostly, because Todd's parents are there and the main point of this trip is to see them.
While Todd spent a lot of his younger years in Fresno, he considers Sacramento his home town. It's where he lived during his teenage years (when he lived at home), where he played in a local punk band, where he came home to after months on the road, and where he ended up after he left those days behind and tried to move on with his life.
It's also where he was living when we first met ("met" in internet terms). Our relationship was long distance for a long time (there's only so many trips you can make to NY while trying to save money to move to NY) and as such, we spent an awful lot of time on the phone. We navigated the time difference in clumsy fashion; while I was wrapping my night up, he was going out to get some dinner. So I'd be on the phone with him while he drove through Sacramento, going to various fast food places, running errands, going to meetings, meeting up with friends. I "rode" with him from place to place as talked and he mentioned landmarks and favorite places and I made a mental map of his Sacramento, knowing that I'd be there some day. So when I get there, it won't be just some capital city of a huge state I'll be visiting; I'll be looking at places I came to know through our phone rides - Del Taco and Safeway, Fair Oaks Blvd and Howe Avenue and US50 - they are sentimental landmarks to me, odd as that may be to you. I'm sure no one visits California with the intention of sight seeing a Del Taco. No one but me. My sentimentality is my undoing sometimes.
I'm also looking forward to visiting all his old haunts in Sacramento and San Francisco; for every story he has from his wild days, there's a dot on the map that corresponds with it. Places like Lil Joe's and the Round Corner and Gilman....all places I'll just stop and take a shot of and move on, marking them in my little mental scrapbook of Todd's life so I have a visual to go with the audio when we sit in a diner on Long Island on a Saturday morning and he tells me more California stories.
That's why Sacramento is interesting to me. And just a small part of why I'm looking so forward to this trip. The personal sight seeing, the picture taking...those are awesome things. But they pale in comparison to actually getting away from everything - work, cooking, cleaning, the kids (anyone who has teenagers will understand that), the day to day humdrum of life, of being in a place I've ALWAYS been in, a place I've barely left in my 45 years...to just be far away in what seems like another world to someone so landlocked in their hometown, and to do it with my best friend....yea, I'm looking forward to this.

Bill & Trav's Bogus Journey Tour.
Jannus Landing, St. Petersburg, Florida.
They had to do an acoustic set because it rained for three hours straight, one of the amps blew up during We The Kings, so everything had to go acoustic. Really cozy and intimate :)
You're only missing one band member here, Andy "the Butcher" Mrotek, whom I was unable to photograph due to ... location issues.
Something I like about this picture, this picture and all of its ordinariness, is Mike Carden (farthest right) being half hidden behind the screen. I sort of wish I would have been able to snag one of him completely behind it. A portrait, maybe.
Also pictured is lead guitarist Michael Guy Chislett (farthest left) and bassist Adam T. "Sisky Business" Siska (left of Carden).

This is a rare but pesky Needle-nosed Mugwump. Some people get roaches, some get mice or rats, some get bedbugs. We got Needle-nosed Mugwumps.
Hiding shyly behind frontman William Beckett is Adam T. "Sisky Business" Siska. Adam came on during the Cobra Starship set to replace Gym Class Heroes' Travis McCoy's rap in the song "Snakes On a Plane." I was only able to get one shot of that moment, because it's a quick rap, but it turned out much too blurry to be edited.
That's what you have memories for.
