How it really went

What I love about weekends is that (for me) they are usually open. I had "plans" listed in the previous post, but the day didn't turn out much like that. No movie, no BBQ (though my MIL did have some awesome casserole I sampled), did fit in a trip to the fabric/craft store with Indy, took a few pics - though not as many as I hoped (my back is still healing), and created this layout to commemorate the day.

Journaling reads: Rented a Nikon 16mm f/2.8 fisheye lens from rentglass.com and today, Aug. 3, 2007, was the first day I could take it out. Because my Sciatica is still healing, I couldn’t do much, or for very long. I spent about 15 minutes in Grandma Judy’s backyard and a few minutes watching Indy paint a birdhouse. These 5 photos (including the background) are my favorite in that limited time.

Oh so serious agenda

This is what my day looks like today:

Flickr, scrapbook, Flickr, eat peanut butter toast, shower, find donuts in town somewhere (craving one), BBQ at inlaws (bring camera), try to get MIL to watch 8 yo so we can go see the Bourne Ultimatum, hopefully watch Bourne Ultimatum, process pics, Flickr, sleep.

What do you have going on?

Panda

She (we) made one! Meet Panda, as yet unnamed (and already sporting a spiffy red dress/shirt (not in this pic tho'). SO happy with herself!

Made using this book.

Melissa

I have to show you this photo. My friend Melissa is an amazing photographer, and one of her photos is probably in the top 10 photos I have ever seen. I didn't see a direct link, so this will go to her blog and if you see the post titled "Ava Adore", look at the second photo. They are ALL great, but that one is amazing. I can only imagine how thrilled the parents are to have such a gem.

edited: I put a small version here so you know which one I mean:

Book

Bought this book "for Indy" tonight (so I could have it too.) How CUTE is it? SO CUTE it's called The Cute Book. It's how-to for all these adorable creatures. I think I'm going to fall in love with each of the little friends she/we make(s). I notice the same author has one called The Bad Book. May have to get that too. You know, just to be fair and all. Yin/Yang.
