photobooth friday

sisters in hampton beach,nh

i wasn't ready!
crackers....
this is the most unflattering photo i've seen of myself in a while
but alas it's a photobooth and thus still fun
along with all the fun i've been having this summer,
i've consumed some fun foods - you know what i'm talkin'
those beach treats
ice cream, fried dough, pizza, delicious greasy french fries
sigh, it's taken it's roll, i mean toll
and the fun consumption must come to a halt
but the boothing, yes that will continue!
this is the first of a series of three, the others are pure cuteness


for more photobooth friday delights visit andrea!

is it really thursday? t.i.l.t

it seems like every where i go these days
i am running into these
fortune tellers
everywhere
on the streets, in the arcades....
i am turning corners and there they are
and you know i can not resist
i have to put the money in and see what she says
because i am a lover of the cards, and there is a history of "the cards" 'round here that no one speaks of - in public anyway
so here she was another "lady of knowledge"
and this time she didn't have much nice to say
but i love her anyway, silly gamer of fortune
wonderings, longings, wishes of what may come


more lovliness here

note-
if you love these fortune tellers as much as i do, check this out
and add to the fun!

fill it up again

i went to a concert
it rocked
i've always loved the indigo girls
when i was a younger i loved that they where two girls that could kick guitar ass and sing
i still love that, but the music means more now
the stories, the philosophies
seeing them play, it was really great
three 5 human opened for them, and they rocked out hard
i wish i could provide a link filled post with other cool things, but it's just not happening today

my sister and i made it to the front for this photo,
which was a lot of feet stepped on and hands pushing us forward
which was all a little scary
it's thursday and my ears have stopped ringing, and i haven't stopped singing
the closing performance with three5 and IG of midnight train to georgia was superb
i don't think i've ever heard it that good. yes, it was that good.

thanks for a super fun night out sista :)

self portrait as boother

wow, i am not going to tell you how long it took to upload this photo or any of the other computer crap that's been going on

i will tell you that i heart photobooths

i frequent the polaroid variety, because it's close

but this weekend i was in hampton, nh (computer issue preventing from linking directly, check this site out people. locate a booth near you and use it)

home of arcade, fried dough, pizza, nacho, and ice cream galore

and yes

oh yes

there is the old school booth

at playland arcade

the kind of booth that flashes right off as it gobbles your money

so that your first picture is off guard, unsuspecting, hilarious

and the swivel stool, the waiting for development, the mirror on the front...

i just love it all

this self portrait was inspired by the photobooth friday originator and another photoboother

every friday, a fresh list of links to other photobooth lovers

and it's only wednesday

so check it out and join the fun

grrrrrrrr.........

why?
blogger is not working for me.
i have things to post about, photos that are fabulous.
things to show.
blogger people : i am asking with pleases, and politeness....fix this shiitake!



added
i am also having problems with the computer
i can't comment on anyone's blog
i tried the handicap alternative, nada, mute
tried typing in random crap, hoping those magic scrambles would appear - zero
i get the white box with dreaded red "X" where there should be annoying slanted letters
ttsssssskkkk

self portrait challenge as.....

disguised

in case you wondered

our dog loves bubbles as much as we do

grammy is rockin' in computer class with her solitaire card playing suaveness

i am a winner

we went to yet another wedding this weekend

and i can't wait for this coming weekend

my little guy is now sleeping in a toddler bed

i love blueberries on my corn flakes (pretty sure i say that every chance i get)

the library is our new favorite hang out - my little guy doesn't tear or eat pages, and my girl is in information/chapter book heaven

holy crap! she will be a second grader. she has taken to perfecting her "cursive signature"

i am becoming a beach mama, and i wish these summer days would go on forever

t.i.l.t.

it's been all about weddings this summer
and there are still more to come
i certainly didn't enjoy going solo to one

but when i'm with the other half, it seems so romantic

there's something about a wedding that makes me gush like a fool
the dresses, the flowers, fancy cars, and the words
oh the words are goose bumpy, heart quickening love
yes, i am one of those when i am with my other
the vows, the rings, the kiss .
he always looks over to me with a smile
and the hand squeeze
which speaks volumes
in that fingers clasped moment
he remembers our day, when we did and said these words that are spoken
we remember all that has happened since, and wonder what is yet to come,
taking comfort in knowing we'll have each other
yes, this is me
a romantic lover of weddings





and of course there's the cake, they are so pretty
so spectacular with flowers of frosting and edible ribbon
i love it all

get your love here

catching up

she was an angel

i am still speechless

when did she grow? how did we get here?

she had sparkles in her hair

she danced with her dad

and cousins,

and anyone who was on the dance floor

she was the life of the party, her excitement so contagious

we twirled our skirts, ate cake, and jumped for what seemed hours

i loved every second

self portrait challenge

self portrait as canvas painting


you've read that i am an artist here
but you haven't seen much of my work
so today i share me with you

more self portraiture here

ahhhhhhhhh

that's my sigh of relief

my girl was the flower girl in a wedding this weekend

it was fun, she looked sweeter than i can say, and she danced like it was her last day

but i am glad it's done

more photos later

t.i.l.t.

it's the 6th of july
i am still loving the sparklers
