fortune!

this was the fortune that my mom received after our delicious dinner at my favorite restaurant in the entire world, mai's.

wtf is a 'luck color'?

scrambled letters.

this is my bottle of rose-scented cheek tint. i like to use it because it makes me feel like i am wearing makeup from the 1950's.

without fail, every bottle that i purchase slowly begins to scramble its wording resulting in this beautiful chaos of upside-down letters and slightly tilted numbers.

i look forward to it with each new purchase.



it's clementine season--i am going to enjoy a little cutie right now!

rainy run.

i just came in from a rainy run.

i am enjoying this dreary weather...is that weird?

i would like to wish the happiest of birthdays to one of the most beautiful people that i know...inside & out.

she's creative, she's unique, she's generous, she's hilarious, she's strong, she's smart, she's independent, she's lovely.

ames, here's to you! cheers for your 21 years.



and another happy birthday goes to the most brilliant photographer that i know. his photos share a story, and he has a way with words that translates beautifully in any language.

simple pleasures. (2 of 4)
spring break, 2007

my mom is in a cheerful mood the majority of the time. however, when you combine a game (or puzzle), shiner bock, and the beach--her happiness is magnified ten-fold & radiates from the inside out.
her laughter is genuine & beautiful in this photo.

heartwarming housewarming.
august, 2007

upon our return from europe we had a lively housewarming party in our new home. of course, lei was among the first to welcome us back! the color of this room may have changed, but it still serves as the brightest place in the house.

an inconvenient truce.

the boys end the battle with the girls at staff training with one defining triumph--a cold shower of ice water to cool them off from the sun's rays.

p.s. this morning on my run--i saw someone's sink thrown out with their trash, and i thought that it warranted a mention (you know, cliches & all...)
