Month: August 2011

Someone I love.

This man. <3 I could write 1000 words and it wouldn't do him justice.

Favorite color.

This was an intersting dilemma for me because my favorite color really depends on what you’re asking me about.

Clothes? I love black and gray, then accessorizing with bright pops of color. I want either muted, or LOUD. So I either have a on a black top or HOT PINK or NEON YELLOW.

For the home? I love green or yellow walls because they are neutral and easy to accessorize. But my dream house would have neutral walls with LOUD, BRIGHT, OBNOXIOUS accent walls. Ben and I have COMPLETELY conflicting opinions on this though.

Cars? White. I never thought I liked white cars but when we started shopping for an M3 for me, I fell in love with my Alpine white M3 and now I really love white cars.

But, if you ask my husband or daughter, the clear winner in the favorite color category for me is: PINK!

I remember getting REALLY EXCITED when electronics manufactures realized that there were actually GIRL GEEKS out there and started catering to our wants too. I still remember seeing my first pink digital camera and laptop. SMITTEN.

This is the stuff I carry around on a daily basis.

Clouds.

I think this picture is actually pretty horrible but there were NO CLOUDS IN THE SKY! I was in the car heading away from work and when I came over the hill to hit 280 I saw the marine layer trying to creep over the hills that separate Palo Alto from the Pacific ocean and screamed CLOUDS! It was either this or get creative somehow (there hasn’t been a cloud in the sky in two days) so I picked up the camera off the passenger seat, pointed it in the general direction of the mountains, pressed the shutter button and hoped it turned out well because it was all I was going to get.

What I wore.

We have a new “business casual” policy at work and I HATE dress pants so I’ve been wearing a lot of really comfy cotton dresses and skirts. My face is red because I had just gotten done chasing the dogs around the back yard in boots. They are my daily welcome home committee. 😉

Dress: Target (This one, actually I love it because you can easily dress it up or down depending on the shoes and accessories.)
Shrug: Target
Necklace: Kohls
Shoes: Madden Girl (I LOVE Steve Madden shoes. LOVE. I can’t find the exact pair but these are similar and cute! And $30 cheaper! And now I want them! 😉 )

After work I changed into a pair of Mudd Jeans, a black tank top from Target and a REALLY OLD pair of flip flops.

Wore them to the dog park, then to run errands and now off to dinner with friends. 🙂

Also, I’m pretty sure my neighbors are CONVINCED that I’m crazy now. I had to jump off the arm of the couch about 8 times to get that shot right and the next door neighbors were watching me from their front yard. heh

Self Portrait: Because I can’t ever take anything seriously.

I’ve decided to do the August 30 Day Photo Challenge. And I don’t mean to be nitpicky but there are 31 days in August so it just feels so unbalanced to me! Like, what about the 31st? It’s just going to be left out, cold and alone and sad.

So I’m going to start on the second instead so that all month long my numbers will be off. Like today yesterday is was the 2nd and I’m posting picture #1 which actually makes my brain shudder. And it’s only the first day. By the 31st I’m going to be having all out cold sweats and talking in strange run on sentences.

So technically you won’t notice anything different.

OH! And also, I’m back dating this blog post to yesterday, the 1st, so that it makes some kind of sense. Order wise.

So I’m cheating already.

BECAUSE THAT’S HOW I ROLL.
