The Joy of Photo Booth

I’m not a technology person, but it turns out I love this new MacBook Pro work bought for me. Not only does it make creating things in Illustrator a wonderful experience (hello, productivity!), but it’s got a lot of fun devices to boot.

For instance, Photo Booth is the perfect tool for capturing Jack’s frustration at having to live with two completely unreasonable people.

Poor animal…

Ridiculous

A good friend of Regan’s had to put his dog to sleep last weekend. Knowing what a difficult thing that would be, we decided right away we needed to do something. First we thought to go visit, but then Regan suggested we send something to him first.

Yes.

Care packages are always good. 

Now, what to put in the care package?

Umm, this ridiculous creation is what we came up with.

Regan created the Mr. T inspired belly. He helped me pick out the gold jewelry at the local hardware store, and this week we spent piecing it all together.

I’m glad that we have projects we can work on together. The end results usually make me laugh.

Food

Food is the word that sums up this weekend. 

We ate take out, eat in, and home made. And now I’m questioning if I should continue to refrain from eating meat, I’m ga ga for popcorn and in love with brussel sprouts. Who knew that a weekend of indulgent fooding could open my eating horizons so much?

Now Regan and I are busy spending the last remaining hours of our weekend planning out our summer garden, which we were supposed to start this weekend.  Ugh.  If we can get our act together we’ll have an abundance of good things begin popping up in spring. My hope is by relying on our garden that we can cut our grocery bill down to a reasonable amount of money. It’s gotten slightly out of hand these days with the organic, whole foods kick we’ve been on. I like to think that for our overall health it’s worth it though, spending all this cash on things so easily consumed. 

Other than eating good food I’ve mostly been bundled up inside wishing for spring to come soon. Rumor has it that winter doesn’t last forever, but I’m beginning to doubt the truth in that.  Someone please reassure me that the sun will come out soon.
