@ 22 and 23

last night i taught yoga and a whopping six people showed up to practice!  now, six may not seem like many to most, but at the North Park Y it is a big number indeed.  five returning regulars, and one sweet new lady.  it felt good to feel the energy in the room, and teaching was the easiest and most natural it has ever been.  love....

brrrrrrr!  it's been cold in the morning over the past few weeks.  there was ice on my windshield this morning, so while i waited for it to defrost, i snapped a few pics of frosty kale in the garden.  the sun was just starting to peek  over the treeline - so lovely!  if you shop/eat at Wheatsville, Daily Juice, Casa de Luz, etc..., you might have enjoyed kale from PSF courtesy of Resolution Gardens.  nice!

the sky was particularly pretty on this Monday morning, with every shade of blue imaginable.  i tried to get a decent photo to share, but it just didn't turn out as i had hoped.  (and they are the only pics i took today!)  oh well - i played around a bit with the photo editor, and this is what i settled on. Manor Road, 7:45 am.

at dinner with A & W at Tree House Italian Grill.  no wait on an Friday night makes it a winner in my book!  add good food and wonderful company, and you've got a recipe for good times!  this is point and case on why i would like (i held off on using the word NEED!) a new camera.  awful results in dim lighting at 1600 iso.  *sigh*

they need tickets.... i think there was a UT basketball game happening downtown.  i snapped these two fellas while waiting in traffic on my way to yoga practice at Castle Hill.

i think it might be time to share this site - even though i am pretty sure it is a bit of a snore, and no one, aside from maybe my mom, dad and grandma, will be much interested in my amateur photos and ramblings of daily life. 

it turns out snapping a quick photo as i head out the door in the mornings is a great way to make sure i am not stuck inside at 10:30 pm taking pics of Arlo's paw or nail polish bottles!  so here you have two morning shots taken in the front yard of PSF (Pecan Springs Farm for those who don't know!)

what i see every morning as i head off to work.  (for everyone kept up at night wondering....) ;o)

off the wagon... and back on again

oops!  i already fell off the wagon....  dang.  

Tyson and i made our way to Dallas this past weekend to hang out with our parents and exchange Christmas presents with my folks, and wouldn't ya know..., i didn't take a single picture while we were there!  oops!  well, in my slack off time, i enjoyed late night talks with my parents and slept in late Saturday and Sunday.  Saturday evening the two family halves joined together to share a meal at Macaroni Grill in Lewisville.  scoff if you must, my foodie friends, but Macaroni Grill has some delish herb foccacia bread, and build your own pasta bowls.  i love "build your own" menus, cause, for a vegetarian, i can be awfully picky about what i eat!

i am now back ON the wagon!

here are the photos left over from last week.

this is what happens when you are not mindful and decide to run down concrete steps.  ouch!  slow it down, sister!

guess what i did this evening? 

pearls of love

i arrived home on Friday afternoon to discover a suspicious package in the mail from an unknown address.  seriously - for some reason i was totally weirded out that i didn't know the address, even though it was from northern Virginia (where most of my family lives), which should have been a BIG clue as to who it came from.  anyhow - so i finally cut through the package to find my cutie niece and nephew staring back at me from their yearly photo session (love!), and a sweet little gold box with the necklace pictured below inside. it's a single pearl knotted on a leather rope: simple and laid back.  love it!  all us cousins have one from our Aunt Pam.  nice.  thank you, Pam!! i'll keep it forever. xo

photo #10 has been temporarily removed per request.  if you were lucky enough to get a glimpse, you would have seen my beautiful best friend contemplating her reflection as we tried to determine if the dress she was wearing was THE dress.  you know..., that once in a lifetime dress!  in white!   alas, it was not THE one, but i still took it off this site, cause if her sweetie saw he might be tempted to elope right then and there - she looks THAT gorgeous!  so..., you must use your imaginations until the big day comes. *sigh*

last minute photo...

project365

last year a friend (that's you, Jessie Lathorum) shared that she was taking on Project365: a photo a day - and now i am going to (try hard to!) do the same for 2011.  that's take at least one photo a day for 365 consecutive days.  wish me luck!!
