Photo Meme Responses!
The things I was asked for in the photo meme were:
1.) iTunes (or whatever) sorted by most plays
2.) Favorite vacation spot (an old pic is ok :)
3.) something pretty
4.) The area in your house where you spend the most time.
5.) Your computer/desk area.
6.) Your bookshelves
7.) Your favourite object in your house (and it can't be a person or animal so no Mrs Elyima or dogs or cats or any other pet you might have!)
8.) Your most embarrassing possession. :-)
9.) Your kitties, 'cuz i miss them. especially my boyfriend.
Sorry this has taken me so long to pull together. My camera is on the blink and hasn't been very reliable so I've been limited to taking pics whenever it decided to cooperate.
Well, sorry to disappoint off the bat, but I don't really use iTunes, I use Grooveshark and it doesn't show me what my "most plays" are but I can tell you what I know I've been listening to and that's been Adele's new album, 21. Like non-stop. I listen to my Callie_Arizona the collection playlist a lot, as well as The Bird and the Bee's album "Interpreting the Masters", Beautiful Small Machines, Sara Bareilles, A Fine Frenzy and a lot of what happens to be on the radio at the moment. I 'm always trying to find/choose new stuff to keep my spinning classes fresh but I love my classics. I almost always fall back on quite a bit of Michael Jackson, Hall and Oates and Fleetwood Mac. I hope that does not having a picture justice :)
The rest are all pictures. Promise! (Click for larger versions)
Favorite vacation spot
That is the rock jetty at Cape Henlopen in Delaware. It's probably the place that we go to for vacation the most. Although it's not the most beautiful location I've ever been to, it's not too shabby and it is my favorite. I chose this vantage point because I love to return to that rock jetty every year on my beach and just think. This is the spot where I think about how my life has changed since the last time I'd been there, and where it's going. I've sat on these rocks and made some of the biggest decisions of my life while literally feeling the winds of change blowing through my hair. This place feels calm and empowering to me. It's my haven and I sit here every year to rejuvenate my mind and recharge my well-being.
Something pretty AND your favourite object in your house
I used to collect witch's balls and hand blown glass like this one from everywhere that I traveled. I had a large collection of it hanging in a big bay window at my old house. When my ex and I separated, she kept all of it and I was a little heartbroken. A while later I was watching a glassmaking demonstration and this was made right in front of me. It reminded me of all the ones that I used to have and all the places that I got them from and how it felt to let that all go. I think this one is by far the prettiest one I've ever seen so I bought it. At the time I thought I might be starting my collection over again but when I hung it up I felt more content with this being the only one. It's a nice reminder of what I once had, but it feels like more of a fresh start and reminder to me that the simple things are more beautiful. Because of that sentiment, it's probably my favorite object in my house.
The area in your house where you spend the most time
MY COUCH! This is where I probably spend the most time when I'm awake. This corner of the couch has a perfect view of my TV, it reclines and I can move the center section of the couch and snuggle a little closer to Mrs. E. I'm usually sitting here with a book, the remote, a glass of wine and my laptop or the wireless keyboard that controls my computer hooked up to the TV. Usually there's a cat somewhere too. If I were a queen, this would be my throne!
Your computer/desk area.
This is my desk at work. I spend A LOT LOT LOT of time sitting there.
Your bookshelves
We have this tiny bookshelf in our office/fangirl guest room but there are TONS of books packed away in our basement because Mrs. E is a bookaholic! Most of what I read nowadays are e-books on my iPad, but this is pretty indicative of our tastes...All over the place!
Your most embarrassing possession.
The Spice Girls - Spiceworld. Uh, yeah...I own it. There's a good explanation for why I still have it, but that's even more embarrassing than the fact that I own it in the first place.
Your kitties, 'cuz i miss them. especially my boyfriend
^^ Maya
^^ Zorro...who was really interested at the reflections that my camera was throwing on the wall from the sunlight
^^ Cashew...and one more of him just cause he's such a snuggly boyfriend ;)
Then one of Toby...cause he's a ham too.
Thanks for checking out my meme!
