Weekend Moments #3

Posted on February 6th, 2012

Hello again! Here’s another quick weekend video. Details: On Friday, I snuggled with Roux. Then my friend E. and I went window shopping at West Elm, Nest, and Threshold. I didn’t buy anything. That night, we met our friends B. and C. at Sagra for drinks and dinner. After that, we took our friend J. for drinks at Fino (where we saw a very tired Josh), then at Highball (I’m too old for that place). On Saturday, we did a whole lot of nothing. We watched the cats play, and I worked on my NYC scrapbook. On Sunday, I had toast. I always eat it the same way – one with butter and one with butter and jam, and then I take a bite…

Day in my life #2

Posted on January 23rd, 2012

Hi guys! I decided to do another day-in-my-life post today. It felt like such a busy day! 8:30a Justin is up. I am not. It’s cold outside of the bed, and the kitties are swarming me to keep me warm. I stay snuggled in and read blogs on my phone. 10:00a Justin comes in to check on me. I tell him it’s way too cold to get out of bed. He hands me my warm pajama pants and waits until I’m up and in them. He spoils me. 10:15a Hot cocoa! 10:20a Downstairs to work on the book. Answer emails, convert recipes, organize chapters. It takes me an hour to write up one recipe, because the ingredients are so foreign, it’s poorly organized, and…

Weekend Moments

Posted on January 22nd, 2012

Hi guys! I made another video of tiny moments of my weekend. I tried to keep each clip really short, so it would just be a kind of glimpse at things. Details: On Friday we met friends at Nubian Queen Lola’s for dinner. We shared gumbo with cornbread. I had the best fried catfish and shrimp with cabbage and yams, and Justin had the most awesome pork chop sandwich ever. Lola cooks and serves every dish herself. She sat down at our table to take our order, and each time we chose something, (“I’d like the cabbage, please”), she’d say, “Ooooh, you’re gonna love that.” She’s amazing. After dinner we hopped over to the Volstead for drinks. Justin (the bartender) whipped up some lovely…

Oh, hi!

Posted on January 22nd, 2012

Internets! I’ve been away. There’s been a lot of this going on (see above), but I think I have finally come ’round the bend, and am feeling better. It’s been a rough winter, but thanks to help from lots of friends and family and docs, I believe the worst of it is over. I’m still having trouble getting motivated to carry my camera around. I’m not sure why – I think I’m wanting to do something differently. I’ve thought of shooting mostly film, or Polaroids, or iPhone photos, or videos – but I think my favorite daily images come from my digital camera. I just have to pick it up again, because I miss taking photos, and oddly enough, I miss editing photos. I…
