A Little Piece of Heaven

Saturdays are my mini heaven. I wake in the wee hours of the morning...by 7:30 am I'm opening the store. My morning begins with a quick walk through the waking city, taking in the sights, sounds and smells of a half awake metropolis. Once in the Market I'm slowly greeted and awakened by the sights, sounds and smells of a bustling farmers Market. The cookies are baking in our back kichen, the bakery across the way is putting out the mornings fare...the smells of the coffee shop are floating through the air...the breakfast counter is a whirlwind...I could go on for hours. If the sights, sounds and smells weren't enough...the merchants and their emloyees make it amazing. Although all employees come from all walks of life (amish farmers, students, elderly shop owners, young and old, hip and traditional) it is truly a family atmosphere.

Reading Terminal Market...you should try it...get addicted, I dare you!

Kayaks

Many of you may not know...but this girl has a thing for kayaks. Peculair yes, but they represent so many wonderful things. One: kayaking is fun...we all knew that. Two: kayaks represent a fantasy world / dream world for some very important people in my life. As you age you shouldn't give up that child like sense of awe and excitement when it comes to the world, real and imaginary. Don't get me wrong you can't live in a dream world all the time, but who wants to be the boring adult who has nothing but all the tangible things in life. One day I will get my kayak...we'll all get our kayaks.

Out Like a Lamb

Ok...so in theory this blog has the potential to be really cool. Friday's picture will be amazing I can feel it.

I'm still being a bit introspective at the moment...

Thursday's picture is to pay homage to my favorite people. Chris and Diane have been amazingly supportive and I've been a bit aloof. (sorry guys) So lets move onto them. My 2 favorite people are now my 2.2 favorite people! Congrats on the new baby on the way!!! This, actually is one amazing thing that happened in March. Chris and Diane are two of the most fit people to be parents I can think of. Their love for one another and their core values will produce an amazingly strong family unit. Their life is light years from mine at the moment...but I can only hope to follow in their footsteps someday.

So...2.2 favorite people: I love you and don't know what I would have done without you!!! Also, thank you to everyone else who's been amazingly supportive (including everyone who put up with me throughout an all day/night pub crawl)

So: this is pic one of pregy belly (it's not really a pregy belly...but it'll get there). Keep an eye out for updates!

Cheers to the beaming new mommy!

March Fucking Sucks

You may be saying to yourself...what does this girl have to complain about? She's smart, beautiful, responsible, caring... blah,blah,blah. Well, let me tell you: March fucking sucks. Have you ever felt like the rug has been ripped out from beneath your feet? Or like you've been slammed into from behind by a tractor trailer. That's been my life the past 2 weeks.

So, that brings us to the first picture. The angel ...very innocently sitting, observing...going about its life. The little devil in the background has reared it's head...it's climbing up after our angel...ready to choke the life out of her.
It's changing her life forever... I know there's a very special lady in my life who agrees...March fucking sucks...

I'm not sure what I did to deserve this, but it can only get better from here! Karma is a bitch. I find solace in the notion that this karma will follow interested parties to their grave. It will appear in their lives much later...at a time when it's much harder to recover.

It's time to come up for air.

Photo A Day

My new experiment...

Photo a Day

I'm going to start carrying my camera around. For Photo a Day I'm only allowing myself to take one picture per day (if I find something better later in the day...tough...it'll have to wait until tomorrow). I hope to reflect on the everyday world around me. A glimpse into the urban vs suburban environments I switch between on a daily basis. It'll be a play on opposites...a view of beautiful surroundings...

Let's not walk through the world ignoring beautiful everyday things...
