The Anticlimactic Return

I've finally edited my blog photos from the past 21 days now that I'm home in Ohio, so here they are. Note, I was without both of my cameras for three separate days, so I do not have photos for those days. On the other hand, there are far more than 21 photos here, so I hope you don't get as tired of looking at them as I am! Lol.

July 3 and 4:
was at my mother's house, so I photographed some of her products. she loves working with glass

Unfinished mosaic table

Candy dish

July 5:
my first ever Railcats game with my awesome friend Liz!

Obviously used the crappy lil Cybershot. lol

July 6 and 7:
went to my uncle and aunt's lakehouse in Michigan. it was amazing.

July 8: forgot silver camera at the lakehouse, forgot nikon in my aunt's car. :(

July 9:
got the nikon back from my aunt, and then we visited a couple of the babies in the family.

July 10:

took some last-minute family portraits of my cousins. shoot seriously only lasted a few minutes, but they were so great. Love those cousins of mine.

July 11:

happy birthday, Aunt Linda and cousin Geri! otherwise, had a beach shoot with the Best family (no, i'm not playing favorites. their name is Best. :D).

July 12 and 13:

generic flower photo days. I'm fairly certain I went to Deep River Water Park one of those days, but I didn't take my cams there for fear of being robbed lol

July 14:

went to my cousin Geri's house with... well, more of my cousins (i'm latin. you'll get used to the million cousin thing LOL) to swim. such lazy little ones!

Ziggy lounging under the table

Juliana doing the same

Gabriella taking a break

Anissa taking a tan.

Obviously, I've started to get bored with plain old editing. Luckily Geri had these lawn ornaments to fulfill my need to play.

July 15:

photoshoot with a new girl named Brandy. she was such a sweetie. :)

July 16:

my cousin Travis's open house. cheers, TJ!

Admiring this boy's freckles while he watched the other children splash about in the pool.

July 17:

left Gary that afternoon.

Thanks for the fun, Aunty Angie.

July 18 and 19:

both cams were packed away while we were exploring Lafayette (namely, while we were looking at homes and finding the good restaurants lol). didn't want anything happening to them while we were at the hotels. no pics for these two days

July 20:

home sweet home! creepy little statues greeted us.

July 21:

very sleepy day. didn't feel like being fancy so snapped the butterflies and went back to my lounging. lol

Yesterday and today:

apartment hunting in Athens. turned out only to discourage me more than i even expected, and now I'm pretty much just at a loss. no idea what i'm doing anymore. on the plus side, i found a really creepy plant to take a pic of, and came across a little statue that's just like one Geri has. it was rather exciting to see.

Pardon my blowouts. Exposing for the shadow doesn't do the highlights any good!

Now that we're all caught up on 21 days (3 of which I will tack on to the end of the year, I assure you), I'm heading to bed. Goodnight, sweethearts!

Just a week away

This week was the last week of classes, which I've probably mentioned plenty. It was surprisingly busy, but then the weekend hit and things just got surprisingly bad instead. In any case, pictures were taken and now they are to be posted.

Wednesday:
I attended an Honors Luncheon and then went to the sleep specialist to get a prescription for my narcolepsy. Spent that entire evening shopping for much-needed things we'd run out of, and pretty much just crashed once I got home. Snapped this photo as I rushed to the luncheon.

Barking up the wrong tree

Thursday:
Started my new medication and had my final drawing class that day, so I finished up any work I had left. Then went to yet another doctor's appointment and more shopping. Took this during a quick stint at home.

Friday:
My aunt Julie came to visit for the weekend. That day, our water heater exploded (just before she got here, too), but it didn't stop us from having a little fun.

All hail King Apulu Pulu!

Saturday:
Spent the day cleaning and then we went to one of our favorite restaurants. The minute we stepped out, a terrible thunderstorm began. Two of us gals were wearing white shirts... LOL  Anyhow, took this one during a break from cleaning. You know, when the weather SEEMED wonderful.

My fire pit.

This photo made me realize that if we were to ever have a draught and that fire ring got out of control, we'd be screwwwwed...

Finally, Sunday:
I couldn't sleep, so I hung out in my poolhouse until after 3 AM and sang my heart out like I typically do on nights like that. I was horrified to find a little present in my half-empty pool. (I apologize if you have a weak stomach.)

Needless to say, the pool that was already out of order is going to stay that way until it can be thoroughly scrubbed. -gag- Poor baby mouse.

On to finals week!

Poolhouse Paparazza

It started out with my noticing this...

But once I took the shot, I looked to my right and saw this...

Then, I looked to my left and saw this.

So I climbed out of the empty pool and took these.

But I'm feeling too tired to give them the edits that they deserve-- I didn't even put my stamp on them--, so you get to see them with basic crop and contrast adjustments. Goodnight!
