Fare thee well, Open Salon!
After a year plus of posting onto my blog and then copying it over to my Open Salon page, I have decided to eliminate the redundancy.

April Photo-a-Day Challenge
So here we are, month two! Maybe you’re bored of this, maybe you don’t care, or maybe you’re like me and want to continue (or start) to take a photo-a-day. The list is below in its entirety. Don’t say I didn’t give you time to prepare.

Self-portrait with special guest-star Baby Love.
Next up: The Month of April!
The list of prompts for the entire month will be posted tomorrow so those

My list of skills I wish I had goes a little like this:
1. Ability to speak a foreign language*
2. Being able to draw
*Also acceptable would be the ability to be good at accents.

Sometimes I laugh so hard it’s as though I have unhinged my jaw. And let’s be honest, those are really the best of times. Here’s a picture of me from a few years ago laughing

Today’s picture warrants a few qualifications. For starters, I tried to think beyond the obvious. Of course I would first grab Baby Love and Winnie. Most likely, I would grab the baby and the

Day 26: Shadows
I do love a good shadow picture. In this case, it’s our family portrait: Baby Love, me, the Mister and Winnie. This is also what it would look like if we ran… Read full post »
Day 25: The Best Part of Your Day
The best part of my day happened to coincide with the worst part of my day. The best being family dinner, as pictured above. The worst was the fact that I took

While I do find sunsets to be beautiful there’s something about a sunrise that I like even more. With a sunrise comes possibility. The start of a new day. Of course, if

If I had to choose a favorite season it would be a toss-up between spring and fall. I love both blooming flowers and turning leaves. And the fact that both seasons have

The general theme of any purse I use is “bags within bags.” This is a rather restrained edition. It includes only the necessities: phone, wallet, sunglasses, water bottle, pencil case, zipper pouch

6:30 PM.
I used to hate springing forward because of the lost hour of sleep. Okay, who am I kidding, I still hate it for that reason. However, I get over it

Nothing chases a spam musubi on a warm Hawaiian day quite like a Hawaiian Sun. Lilikoi Passion is my favorite, but there really isn’t a flavor I would turn down. To this

On March 19, 2011, Jerome became the Mister (and I, the Missus). We ate pie instead of cake. We referred to our friend who married us as “Reverend Good Times.” And we

Being at my sister and brother-in-law’s is sort of like being at a hotel. They have cable and central air/heat. They also have a fireplace and a cat who enjoys laying in front of it.

Day 16: Favorite Accessory
Without a doubt my favorite lifelong accessory will be my wedding band. But my favorite accessory of the moment? My automatic watch. When I first heard the term “automatic watch” I had

Two of my favorite pieces of artwork that we have at home hang in our bathroom. The main image is of a print from artist and Zen Buddhist priest Richard Kirsten Daiensai.

I generally have a love/hate relationship with advancing technology. On the one hand, I love that I have a pocket-sized device that allows me to check email and take photos whenever wherever. But on

Day 12: An Obstacle
I realize this picture makes it appear as though my biggest obstacle is my five-head, but – surprisingly – that’s not it. It is the mind that is housed behind the five-head.

This is the oldest piece of clothing I own that is still in the regular rotation. In fact, it would make up the jacket portion of my “uniform.” I’m going to guess

The Mister. I usually speak to him for the first time around 5:00 AM and because the baby monitor is on his side of the bed, the conversation begins with me asking,
