december 3

oh, hi.

it's monday.

i'm tired.

but i'm on this roll.  

i can't quit.

one still. everyday.

it's 10:39pm and it's cold in my studio.  i'm going to bed now.

the heavy rain woke me up last night a quarter to three...with our original window panels, i literally thought the rain was going to blow through those windows and shatter- broken glass.  good thing that wasn't the case.  

Yea.

I went to this amazing fabric dying workshop last Wednesday held by the girls 

at Kaleidoscope Vision in Capital Hill.  It was fun-  looking forward to more local workshops/activities like these.

28

just turned 28 recently.

it's a rad age, if you haven't tried it.  you should.  I'm 4 days into it and I'm feeling like a superstar.

I FINALLY set up my itty bitty still life studio downstairs-  it's an incredibly small space to be taking pictures, but it works. 

for now, at least.

 Just recently got my haircut.  and dyed darker.  

This is my mom to the right.  Taken in the 70's, somewhere near Queens, New York.

 she is my inspiration for my haircut. 

And, this is me and my guy.

28 really makes you feel like a superstar ..

thanks, willy.

I have this obsession with balloons, balls, rounded, spherical objects and things.  

It's kind of all over my brain right now.  Yours?

I had a great snack today at the one and only, Costco. Pizza. Yum. And with great company. The Elderly! Serious. The cutest old people surrounded me as I ate my $1.99 slice of pizza. I shared my table with this man who was eating a slice of pizza with vegetables and...wait...a...minute...here it goes......Ketchup !! Yes! Ketchup! I thought it was so cute! For some reason, I wasn't disgusted at all, I was rather fascinated how bizarre it was to eat pizza with ketchup on top of it! As you can imagine, Costco was a mad house today and so I had offered up a seat at my table. After he had sat down, he realized he forgot to get a napkin, so I reached into my bag to hand him one that I had, he then smiled gracefully and thanked me. It was so cute as I noticed he wanted to start talking to me, but I was on my way to leave because I got done eating my slice of pizza, but he did get the chance to ask me what country I was from...ha! I told him, "here...America! My dad is Cuban though and my mom is Colombian..." He said, "How lovely. I'm Persian." And that was it! I may never see him again, but oh, how I love just having small talk with the most random people. Especially, the elderly. They have so many stories to tell and share.

so, i made ben wear his "best hubby" award/badge around town for his birthday. ( HA ) i didn't want to make a simple, boring, traditional b-day badge, so i went with the ultimate "best hub" badge, which has been pretty right on lately and of course, ALWAYS. it's pretty amazing. to say the least.

he thought it was cute.

and then i took him to go eat his favorite, Phở
