I’ve had a lot of firsts in the last two days…

November 26, 2009

First time a driver had to drive through Washington, DC to get me to Dulles International Airport.
First time it took 26 hours to get to Copenhagen
First time I was in France
First time I ate at a Parisian cafe (in the airport)
First time I paid for something in Euros (Denmark and Sweden use Krone)
First time I got to use my 5 semesters of French in a real setting
First time my luggage went to San Paulo, Brazil (with no arrival time in sight)
First time I flew Air France
First time I went to a hotel the second time and got the same exact room (yay, Hotel Du Nord)
First time I slept through Dinner on a plane
First time it took THREE planes before they found one working for us to fly on (United Dulles to Paris)

But I’m here, happy and despite dreams of Lady Gaga killing lots of people at Gibbs High School in Washington DC (including that cute guy from Glee!) had a good sleep.  I’m wearing a t-shirt, shorts and sneakers in the cold, rainy weather but as soon as the Fotex opens I’ll have an outfit or two and I can drive to work!  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Rain Forest in Guatamala

We were allowed to swim here on a recent cruise that went to Guatamala. It’s a very slippery area and the water was extremely cold!

Watermarks

March 29, 2009

You might be wondering why there’s a watermark on the picture called “Blossom’s Ear.” I’m working on my photography skills and hope to become a professional photographer/editor at some point so as I’m building up my portfolio I need to protect my work. I have a friend who had a picture taken of her dog (“Can I take a picture of your dog?”) and now that dog is on t-shirts, cups, etc. That simple “Yes” she gave stripped her of all her rights to the image(s) that the photographer took. So I’m just protecting my work. The point of the watermark is to protect my work, not make you stare at it so it’s very light. I might brighten it just the teeniest bit but hopefully it won’t be too intrusive.

Blossom’s Ear

You would not believe how many pictures I have of Blossom and Shiloh. Well maybe you would. I’m always looking to see if they do something new or unusual. Some of them I miss because a camera isn’t close enough. This ear off the couch pose was too good to miss and easy to get since you don’t mess with Blossom’s down time.

My sister’s wedding cake

November 4, 2008

I am still working on processing pictures from the wedding, but for now here is a picture of the wedding cake.  Usually I just put these directly on CreationsBySkip.com, but Skip did such a great job with this cake.  Well he always does a great job.  Here you go.

More Birthday Celebrating

Since we didn’t have enough food at Yasmin’s birthday party, we went to Nakama. Here is Yasmin blowing out her birthday sparkler.

Don’t tell Skip

I have had a crush on Neil Patrick Harris forever and I’m glad to see he’s getting the recognition he deserves. He recently did a great interview in Out magazine worth checking out.

I know you haven’t seen many cake pictures lately but that’s about to change. Skip has 10 orders for cakes and that doesn’t even count the one I “nudged” him into making for his birthday. Today was Owen’s 4th birthday and here is the cake.
