Bits Of My Weekend
From the looks of these photos it probably seems like all I did was enjoy a pretty sunset and the satisfaction of cacti growing well, which is partially true because I’m so behind with work right now I have an indent from my computer chair on my back. BUT we did try to get out this weekend before getting out to do things is a rare occurrence around here. We saw Drive (Will loved it and I mostly loved it but have a hard time handling that much violence so if Ryan Dreamboat Gosling hadn’t been in it, I don’t know if I would have loved it), celebrated my birthday a little early with my uncle in Burbank, and had a disappointing trip to the Melrose Trading Post (forgot my camera, natch). But mostly, I was glued to my computer with the worst case of a creative block that I cannot shake. Probably due to the fact that I have not taken a full day off to relax in weeks, but what are you going to do? I’m so behind. Lately I’m grateful to be freelance so I can be home for Will, but it also comes with the downside of having to make up for all this time off for doctors appointments and such – there are no personal days in freelance, just schedule re-arranging. I just need someone to pay me a bajillion dollars to change the colors of their logo or something, is that too much to ask for?? :)
In other news, there is no new news, but our spirits are high and we’re plugging away slowly at getting prints made, so, soon!

I loooooved Drive! I agree, it was pretty violent, which I wasn’t prepared for at all, but thought it was just so well acted and had a super duper soundtrack!
Plus, you know… Gosling.

I love all the photos from your weekend. The sunsets have been really pretty in LA, hot pink and lavender with scattered puffy clouds. I know what you mean about work piling up. I got sick in July and took off a bunch of days for doctors visits (ick) and rest but couldn’t get my mind off of how much everything was piling. Anyway, sending warm thoughts to you and Will. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

The Drive soundtrack was sooo good! I was totally unprepared for the violence, but I still enjoyed the movie.

Heeey, I am quite often simply THRILLED at the sight of beautiful plants and sunsets and moments and sometime that’s all there is to be happy about in a lame day. But isn’t that great that you have an eye for beautiful things many miss? Tiny treasures of everyday – they bring magic to life. =)

prints = excitement! :) i can’t wait to see what they’re going to look like…
and i really want to see drive, but can’t seem to convince my boyfriend that it’s not only for ryan gosling (because maybe he’s right…). i will keep trying, because we need to get out of the house more, even if it’s just to go somewhere else+sit in a dark place and get visually+auditorily assaulted for an hour. and pay for it. heh.
happy early birthday! i hope your day is wonderful. <3

Kate, you may already know of this place, but next time you visit Seattle there is an amazing succulent store on Ballard Avenue called The Palm Room. The first time that I saw it I was stopping in my tracks ,drawn in and “forced” to buy a new plant friend.

Your plants are thriving, what a beautiful photo. Happy you had a chance to see Drive. I really love authentic violence (like Drive) and seeing my Goslingbear made it even better, but I can understand how it could be a bit much.
