dear g,

you are one of my few friends that will get this. i love this photo. and you know why you will get this? shot thru the blublockers. yep. the multi-facetness (is that a word?) that is the blublockers. they made boring blah arkansas look amazing. they made this boring blah gas station in new mexico that we tagged ahh-mazing. can't wait to see you in the next few days. xo.

your friend,
a.

i feel alive when.....

*i spend an hour in the art supply store.

*i'm sitting at the beach.

*i love someone and they love me back.

*random things happen that put a smile on my face.

*i'm inspiring people. especially kids.

*i hang out with other creative people.

*i hear eddie vedder sing.

my sweet sydney is a beach girl like her aunt.

not many times in life does someone come around that you feel such an indescribable comfort and love around.

sad.

i miss my old phone.
i love my blackberry, but it's lacking a camera. how am i supposed to take random pics and send them to people? grrr.

la inspires me. maybe i should re-phrase that......
california inspires me. and parts of la too. there is so much for me to take crazy photos of. nashville had little bits of greatness, but wow, there are lots of bits of greatness to be captured.

i'm buying a bad ass slr nikon pronto. merry early christmas to me.

xo.

love. this.

i'm back.

i'm settled.

i'm pretty happy.

the last 3 weeks have been full of stress, anxiety, confusion, questions and just go go go. glad that is over. it all fell into place though from start to finish and i'm thankful for the things that came into my life. the first day was overwhelming. the building is ridiculously intimidating and confusing. add that to meeting a bizzillion new faces. trying to remember names, floors (and which department is on which floor), waking up with a bad head cold wednesday and jeez, the challenge began. by friday though i was good.

buying a large canvas today and starting a painting for my bedroom. brown and turquiose maybe. we'll see. definitely a chill vibe for the room of relaxing.

hung out with jill yesterday, who moved to nyc after college and is now back in w. hollywood. love her. we had a blast like old times. both photographers. was taken out for a nice late dinner and then went home and crashed. today i'm hoping for some sunshine to either get some pool time in, or go run at the beach. love ca.

xo.
