{91} And it continues....

Flashcards.

{91} To perm or not to perm?

That was my question today. I did a test run by putting curlers in my hair. The result came out way too floofy...okay so no perm for now. At least until my hair grows out.

{90} Tal-y-Tara Tea

English tea service for 2 for $9! Thank you Townhog.com! Lauren and I had a motorloaf with six types of sandwiches (yum!) and mango bango tea. It was very filling.

{90} Surprise, Surprise!

Can you tell how indecisive I am? 
I can't choose one picture because that means I choose food over someone, gifts over someone, or someone over someone.
Does this make it a festive pictures or a passive move? haha!

{85} Richmond, VA Diary III


Didn't do anything today, so I'll put another VA picture.
I wasn't able to do too much in Philadelphia.
All my Philly pictures were of the grand buildings, so I'll post up a more active VA picture instead. 

We went to a shooting range.
This was when a bullet's shell flew into my eyewear and burned my brow.
This is my sister, not me, if it's not obvious.

{85} Being a Chef

Food I made today: Non-red velvet cheesecake, Cod fillet with artichoke hearts and basil, random salad I made up

{84} Richmond, VA Diary II

At Black Sheep for brunch. I know, this doesn't depict Black Sheep's food or what else I did during the day. I ate ice cream at Bev's (flavor coffee oreo- delicious). My sister got a flat tire so that delayed our day. Walked around vintage shops and toy stores. This is as "artistic" as my picture went for the day though. 

{84} Cheesecake

Went grocery shopping today. I have to assume cooking duties, because my mom just had surgery and can't be in the kitchen. I'm trying to make a red velvet cheesecake cake. I just made the cheesecake layer today - cooling it overnight in the kitchen before making the cake layers tomorrow.

{83} Richmond, VA Diary I

MEET BOWSER.
4 months old.
Wheaton Terrier.
Incredibly kind & klutzy.

{83} Slide

My cousins from Fremont came to visit today. We took Cathy to the playground next to my house. I was trying a motion photography technique called "panning". It is a way to show motion, where the subject is clear, but the background is blurred. I didn't completely pull it off (my cousin Cathy is still kinda blurry).

{82} Hazelnut Ice Blended

I met up with Lauren today for Chevy's Happy Hour. We had peach and strawberry margaritas, chips and salsa. When I took my camera out of my bag to take pictures I realized that I forgot my battery in the charger at home, so here is a picture from my Wednesday adventure. This drink reminds me so much of college days.
