The Bedroom!

OK, it's not 100% done, but it's looking good!  I'm loving the room so much more now that we painted it- it makes a HUGE difference.

We have to hang a lot of things to hang back up still, but I'm very happy with how much a coat of paint helped this room :)

The man chair :)

I *love* this print!  Can't wait to hang it up!

Hey Hon! :)

Hey Hon! See ya in Hampden! :)

I had so much fun today hanging out in Baltimore with a few of my best friends!  Jaime, Jesse, Quinn and Natalie were all at Hon Fest rocking it out!

Jaime is the official photog of Hon Fest and has a booth.  We all took turns taking photos at the booth with the FABULOUS life-sized Hon that Quinn doodled!  I didn't stay all day, but I did snap a few photos of my own enjoy!

Quinn and her awesome doodle!

A Little Hon!

Lotsa Hons!

Jaime! :)

I loved her shirt- Quinn also designed these

Jessi!

All the girls!  :)

Gordon's First Birthday

The other man in my life.

Oh, Gordon.

You are hyper and crazy. Silly and hilarious. Sweet and cuddly. You chew up the mail. You eat our dinner when we turn our backs for one second. You sleep just like us, with your head on the pillow and the rest of your little body under the sheets. You bark whenever a doorbell rings, even if it's on TV. You love to snuggle. You love treats. You love getting a bath and going on long walks.

You have been such a joy to have around since we adopted you in November. We love your puppy antics and your love for us.

And now you're a year old!

Happy birthday, Gordon! We love you!

Sunday

Yesterday was so nice. I worked most of the morning and afternoon, then Kate came over to grill out- she's taking the LSAT today at a nearby college and stayed here. She brought with her some yummy stuff to grill and it was very tasty!

We took photos on Joe's camera, but I'll let him post those when he feels up to it :)  These are from my iPhone.

More stuff later, maybe.  I need to pack for my next road trip- Charlottesville, VA tomorrow till Wednesday!  Next week I don't have any traveling, but the next week we'll be home in Indiana for a few days then off to Michigan!  :)

Kate chatting with Nic in Cairo and laughing at the e-mail he sent- it was too cute!

Joe grilling out- he will hate this photo, but I don't care :)

this is from Today- Gordon on his way to the vet this morning

Golfing!

This morning we went an played 9 holes of golf.  I haven't played since my last match in high school in 2001... goodness.  But I did OK, and I ended up beating Joe!  Woo hoo!

Here are a few pics I took with my iPhone!

me winning :)

Tweetup!

Last night was fun!

I met up with some fellow Frederick Twitter folk at one of my fave places, Brewer's Alley. Most of the people run their own businesses and we had a lot in common. I so very enjoyed being able to talk nerdy with others who also live in my community. One of the guys there actually went to college (a very small, private college) with my high school chemistry partner- it's a small world!

Anyway, so fun.  Today is another beautiful day here, and I'm calling it "design" day.  I have three books to design and an album!  Eeek!  Tomorrow is an edit day.

Sunday

Yesterday was lovely :)

I did some work, took a nap, cleaned the house, did a bit more work, and made a very yummy dinner... baked lemon pasta... oh man, so tasty :)  I splurged on getting a nice block of parmesan (it was like, 8 bucks!) so I could grate it myself- always tastes better!  Man, this was so good.  Just had it for lunch today, too :) 

And just for fun, our living room... when it's clean! :)

I shouldn't even be on here because I need to get ready for my meeting and the headshots I'm doing in DC this afternoon.  I won't be back to later tonight, but hey, not complaining :)
