Tea #2 from Thyme for Tea/Tearific Spices, a vanilla chai black tea blend. A nice blend with just the right amount of vanilla and spice to make it interesting.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing our local running store’s weekly fun run. This is my own dear runner. Although he might disagree with me, I think He’s fast. I know zippedy-squat about lap times, but 6:17 for a mile sounds pretty fast to me.
If you’re in the Miami area and have any desire at all to either run, walk, or support a great local business, check out iRun. Everyone that works there is really passionate about what they do and has tons of knowledge on the subject. iRun sells anything you could possibly want for running, walking, etc. Need new running shoes? Have no idea what you need in an athletic shoe and what the different types of shoes are supposed to do? Go see the guys at iRun. They have knowledge and are more than willing to share!
More run pics coming soon.

Today, I finally at long last finished my #2 batch of baby preparedness bundles for the two upcoming girls in my life. Included: diaper bag with 1 large, 1 medium and 2 small exterior and 1 interior zipper pockets; changing pad with zipper pouch; wipes case; and baby sling. This batch was much harder to get through than last early fall’s bundles for boys. I’m thinking it was a combo of knowing just how much work was ahead, finding time to wedge sewing into my busier schedule, and my sewing machine acting up pretty much continually throughout the project.

The B2 tea blend from my best friend’s favorite local (to NC) tea shop, Thyme for Tea. Although the tea took 4 months to arrive (due to a business model shift & customs problems), it’s a nice little blend of black tea & botanicals and I might just order more when this batch runs out.
I’ve been missing her a fair amount lately, and this is a good little daily reminder that she’s out there in the world carrying on.

I’ve been abandoned. My sewing machine decided to completely crap out today while working on some fairly time-sensitive projects.

When all else fails, there’s always the sunset. Not the most exciting sunset shot ever, but certainly better than no picture at all 🙂

This is what we do in Miami (and all urban centers, really) when space is limited: rooftop gardens and/or lounge spaces. Now if only someone would start a mass movement for rooftop vegetable gardens…. I see some unused space on the roof of my building 🙂

Bwahaha! I did it!
This is after chasing him around the house again; only this time with the “real” camera. Mr. no-fun in question spent a time running from me, and doing the usual turning his head away from the camera. Then, he decided that if he was going to submit to having his picture taken, it might as well be a badass one. So he viciously shook the empty beaver carcass (no shots were usable from that display of manly, vicious, studliness) and jumped on the bed. I think he’s thinking if he closes his eyes, I’ll go away because I can’t see him and therefore can’t take his picture. This is only the best of a string of shots I got off with his eyes closed.
And there he is with his eyes open and he’s even deigned to grace me with a smile. A smile and weird ears. D’ar is there because D’ar likes having his picture (narcissistic little despot that he is).
Nembu’s patience with picture taking is wearing thin; still with the weird, crooked ears. What’s wrong with this dog? Oh yeah, a lot.

After following him around the house and harassing him to no end, this is the best shot I could get of my big old man.
