This song was stuck in my head today so I decided to make a lil picture for it :)

Hello, folks!
I apologize for the long spacing between posts... my weekends have been a little crazy lately and I'm trying to balance schoolwork and social life, along with the fact that I just have so many fantastic books to read lately!

So, all that said, I apologize, my dear readers.

This past weekend I spent with a dear friend of mine... she was celebrating her eighteenth birthday, so we went and saw Megamind and afterwards lured her to her surprise party :) Then I spent the night and visited their church, which I must say was a great church. Many nice people and a great mission statement. It's all about love, which is kind of my life mission statement... but that's a topic for another post.

I have also come across Martha Stewart's Cooking School which is fantastic for anyone (like me) who only knows the most basic of basics about cooking and wants to learn how to prepare pretty much anything and everything imagineable.

And since I got my itouch I have been quite enjoying the how stuff works podcast... I'm learning quite a bit. :)

It's November?

Sorry this is late... :P

1. This is the pumpkin I carved Saturday in the crazy beautiful weather! In my Sunny Southern State we had a beautiful, cloudless and crisp Halloween weekend! :)
2. I have recieved oh so many (ok, five. But for me that's a lot.) lovely comments this week! I must tell you all, I am quite fond of your encouraging words and intruiging inquiries. (good grief, I'm in an annunciative - is that even a word? - mood today)
So in response, I must say: My friendship bracelet means love and the faithfulness of and to dear friends. and familiarity. My wrists feel a bit naked without them, they look much better with the bracelets on them, so I suppose they also symbolize how friends have a way of enhancing your good qualities.

There are definitely som regrets I have about my past, but I wouldn't take any of it back. The misfortunes and bad decisions I've made ultimately caused me to mature and learn as a person.

And... really? you think? d'awww... thanks :) I've thought about selling my stuff before, but I always hesitate because I think, well shoot. There are so many amazing photographers out there. But maybe I'll look into it.

3. Slam Dunk has been keeping up with my blog for awhile now... He always has something interesting and/or encouraging to say. Check him out!
4. My friend introduced me to this magazine last night... ohhhhh beautiful artsy magic.
5. I'm finally doing it. Tomorrow I am getting an Ipod touch 4th generation. That'll be my first ipod ever. Hehe, I'm excited :)
6. The Harry Potter movie comes out this month!!! AAAAH!!! I plan on going to the midnight showing.
7. Blending into Technique Tuesday, here's water photography. I like. Plus, there's incentive, although to tell the truth I don't buy that global warming environmental balogna.

1. I so want to try making a souffle.
2. taking a virtual stroll through the Stonehenge on Google Maps is lovely.
3. experimented with this this week. the test wasn't amazing, but I think in the future I could have some fun with it. (By the way, DIYphotography.net is cool beans) I think my next eperiment will be delving into the world of long exposures and light painting... ooh lala!
4. Snow Patrol is good fall music. So is "You" By Switchfoot.
5. learned how to fishbone braid this week. I love the simple elegance of it, but I'm not sure if I can really pull off braids... Oh well. Maybe if I have a little girl someday I'll be able to fishbone braid her hair.
6. I do believe red/mauve/cranberry is becoming one of my favorite colors. Rather unlike me, considering I've always stuck with neutrals, blue, and green.

and number 7:
