camera randomness

i have accumulated many different pictures on my phone, most that i don't know why i don't just delete. i guess i thought i would use some of them to show you all, but they never quite made it that far. such a slacker.

i will share them, random as they may be. enjoy.

too much winter

how do you know when you've had too much winter? my personal winter barometer is when i see a snow pile that is a good few feet taller than me and when it has a shopping cart on top.





after two of the biggest snow storms of my lifetime in one month, i'm officially over winter. alas it continues to snow even as i write you this post.

the lack of sun and warmth, along with the desire to be eating from my own garden is making me crazy for summer. i made this market bag dreaming of the days that i'll be filling it with fresh fruits and veggies from the farmer's market.






i made it from those coffee bags i have gotten from a friend and have used in the past.





and if you are wandering, someone had a very good birthday this weekend...

get to know me, please

i saw this post on another blog i was checking out. it seemed like a smart thing to do. you can tell this was not intended for AFTER sunday by question #4.... oh well.


1. How many piercing's do you have?
6. but i only use the standard 2, one in each ear. 
however i would love to get my tragus pierced.... my sister & bf is leaving for africa for 2 years. she has it pierced and i think it would be like our own secret way to still be connected.



2. I love the sound of.....?
billy's laugh. 


but for music- edward sharpe and the magnetic zeroes & camera obscura.

3. Favorite city?
i loved vancover, nassua & camden, me.  
however i have a sweet spot for sellersville, pa that i can't seem to shake.

4. Colts, Saints, or could care less?
i'm obviously a few days behind. i really did hope the saints would win. better uniforms.

5. Frozen yogurt or ice cream?
i know i should say frozen yogurt but i can't. i adore coffee ice cream.

6. Favorite appetizer?
hmmm, this is tough. i would much rather eat a variety of appetizers then have a real dinner. billy has me addicted to hot pepper jelly over cream cheese. obviously with garden of eatin's sesame blues because no other chip can compare.

7. What item in your closet currently makes you the happiest?

 
these shoes.... $5 thrift store find. love love love em.

8.Favorite facial moisturizer?
green street luxuries 'whipped night face cream' its so thick i've been using it all winter long. i met the owners when they started selling at the local farmers market. sweetest people & amazing products!

9. What are most excited for this week? 
cameron's 1st birthday!!! he's so cute, he could've only been born on valentine's day!!



10. Describe the room you are in. 
our cozy lil bedroom... the safest place in the world. there is laundry out that needs to be put away, a white ikea chair that is threatening to capsize because someone has piled it high with their dirty clothes and a pair of boots that i have been debating for 3 weeks over whether to keep them or not. that must mean i shouldn't keep them, right?
