I work a lot now. A LOT. I am scheduled for 40 hours a week, but I often end up working at least an hour of overtime every shift. I'm grateful for the hours, but it gets super tiring. I forgot how having an inconsistent work schedule changes things ( Read more... )

I was sitting around cruising the internet the other day, when I realized I've been meaning to purchase some camera armor for my XTi. I'd been putting it off for a while under the guise that it's stupidly overpriced ($40-50) and once there are a couple newer models out, it'd get cheaper. Fortunately that was the case. I picked up this bad boy:

Soooo, I've been contemplating posting recipes for entirely too long. I've been printing out random recipes to try, and it's so much easier to just post links here than it is to try to organize the ever-growing stack of recipe printouts in my kitchen.

Creamless creamy tomato soup(^^ I made this a couple months ago, and it was DIVINE. Best tomato ( Read more... )

Oh, ideas. I like the things you do to my outlook. My twenty-fifth year is sure to be an interesting one ( Read more... )

Ahhh, Coheed and Cambria. I love you guys so dang much. There are few things I enjoy more than being shoved around in the tempestuous current known as the floor pit for an hour and a half while I sing my brains out with my fist in the air. I just love it. We were lucky enough to be situated in front of Travis (a slight change from my usual spot in ( Read more... )

We had our apartment warming party on Saturday. It went splendidly. I spent hours decorating cupcakes for the birthday boys, and I was pretty satisfied with the outcome. We got our first noise complaint, as the boys (including our downstairs neighbor) thought it would be a good idea to have a wrestling tournament at 1 AM. Sigh ( Read more... )

Soooo, I've been thinking.

As much as I love (LOVE.) my Crumpler, I'm afraid I've outgrown it. One camera, four lenses, one flash, and the rest of my stuff just... doesn't fit in it anymore without it being HUGE and bulky. The last time I brought it out (to a bar where a friend's dad's band was playing and asked me to take photos), someone took ( Read more... )

A quick brain bath, in which I dump all the things on my mind into one place ( Read more... )

Yay, Hawaii news!
We'll be spending half our time in Hilo, a day or so hiking Mauna Kea, and the other half of our time in this condo right outside Kona. I fully intend to get the "Spend a day doing absolutely nothing on the beach" task from my 101 in 1001 list knocked out while I'm there, amongst a few other things, like finding myself at the top ( Read more... )

You know, I've always considered myself to be a relatively stress-free kind of lady. I'd like to think I take a pretty logical approach to stress, do what I can to improve the situation, and move forward ( Read more... )
