one minute from the holidays

For Christmas John got me a camera. It’s a Canon Rebel T2i. It is absolutely rad. I am completely in love with it. I took THIS and THIS and THIS and THIS with it so far (I have taken roughly 8,564 other photos as well but there is only so much time to edit and [...]

new year’s potential

This was one of John’s Christmas gifts: framed photos of the dogs for his office (THIS one of Mickey (although I re-edited it so it looks less fluorescent and more natural, over editing, what?) and THIS one of Kayloo (changed the crop)). I am in a very contemplative mood this New Years Eve. There is [...]

ready for our close-ups

We were asked to arrive for the 3rd annual Man and his Dog (and some women too) fashion show between 6:15 and 6:30pm on Wednesday night. Much to John’s chagrin I was hopped up on adrenaline and nerves and we arrived at 5:45pm. Or maybe it was 5:40pm. Or 5:36pm. In any case we were the first [...]

the evil eye and grunts

Back when I was traveling for work I would always be sure to pick up a little something for John while I was away. Call it love. Call is sugary sweetness. Call it a friendly little bribe for dealing with the dogs and the house and life solo while I was gone. Last week John was [...]

revenge of the giant pumpkin

It’s just… it’s just not natural. We got our orange ball of wonderfulness from this happy little pile ‘o pumpkins. That one there, right in the front… to the left a little bit… What do you mean, it’s not obvious? Oh, and that bus in the background? That is actually extra seating for the cafe [...]

perfect fit

My parents came to visit a couple weekends ago. Saturday morning involved boot shopping for my dad. We checked out some Viberg’s. We didn’t find any, but I had an excellent time taking shots of their shop. And giving fashion advice to my dad. And teaming up with my mom to give more fashion advice to [...]

chicken little and the fruit feast

There are a few thing I want to tell you about this shot: This is on my counter in the kitchen. I like to keep lots of my fruits and veggies out of the fridge because 1) I think all the colours look pretty all mixing and mingling together, 2) it reminds me to cook with [...]

little somethings

I have a confession to make. I am not sure how or when it happened, but somewhere along the way I started to actually enjoy all this home decorating stuff. It is positively weird. If you walked around my house right now you’d notice that most of the walls are bare. John and I have been here for [...]

Rockstar

For John’s birthday I made him this book with a bunch of pictures and a bunch of reasons why he’s a rockstar. Here are a couple of the pages: I love John and everything, but making this book took for-frickin’-ever. Holy crap. If you want me to make one for you, let me know: It’ll [...]

Freeatarian, Baby

This is a follow up post to two previous posts: one about when I became a vegetarian 15 years ago one about my first date after quitting the whole vegetarian thing 5 years ago So. Guess what. I’VE DECIDED TO BECOME A VEGETARIAN AGAIN. Dun, dun, duunnnnnnnnnn. Bring on the insightful commentary/questions/wisdom my dear non-veggie cronies: [...]
