Rob and I are photographing our last wedding of the summer season (and probably our last wedding back in SLO) this weekend. I am really excited because the bride is gorgeous and it should be one of our most photogenic wedding ever. Hopefully, the photos will be a great portfolio piece. The pressure is definitely…

StyleBakery.com has updated today with some great new looks for fall. Their last few updates have been pretty uninspiring but I love almost everything they suggest this time. Yikes! My recent paycheck is already burning a hole in my pocket…

It’s official! There are under 100 days left until Christmas. I don’t know where my sudden obsession with Christmas has come from. Perhaps, it has to do with being in a new city and a new apartment. I can’t wait to put up a tree in my new living room. The obsession also surfaces at…

Jean had the good idea to send out a monthly email newsletter to the members of the Ladies Activity Club. The idea is to include a few “activity” suggestions and maybe a recipe or craft idea to tide us over in between meetings. I’m going to do a little research today. Submit your suggestions in…

Last night we went to the driving range instead of playing bocce ball. Today, my hands are super sore. Who knew that an hour of hitting golf balls would render my hands into useless little claws. Ouch! I have a feeling my typing skills are going to seriously lack today…apologies!

In my continuing effort to get out of swimming, I have convinced the PT Twin to forgot laps tonight in favor of Bocce Ball. Jill is going to join us for this little outdoor activity too. Should be a fun way to get out to the park and hang with some dogs.

I am trying to order some See’s Candy today for my twin brother and sister’s 40th birthday next week. I can’t even look at this stuff without a total Pavlovian drool response. Long live Nuts & Chews, Bordeaux Bars, Scotchmallow and Molasses Chips!

I got lucky last night and the PT Twins invited R. and me to attend the Giant/Padres game last night at PacBell park. (Plus, I got out of swimming!) It was a great game, the second since Barry Bonds’s return. Mmm…hotdogs, peanuts and nachos make for a fine and nutritious dinner. I’ve been to two…

Is this not the greatest thing you have seen in a long time?! It’s an antique French cameo ring depicting Jesus. Plus, it’s HUGE – about an inch and half wide at least. I love it!
