Evidently I like photographing my shoes on the dashboard. Maybe because I’m slightly obsessed with shoes?

Especially these – now that I’m not in an office-business-dress environment daily, I can wear more casual stuff, which I love. These are my new Simple shoes…

And my lovely Bensimons.

Of course, I still want these. And these. And these. So there’s that.

I saw the greatest bumper sticker a few days ago: 4 OUT OF 3 PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE WITH FRACTIONS

We’re on an apéritif kick: Lillet Blanc, Cocchi Americano, Cardamaro, Perucchi, Vergano Americano… one of these with a bit of soda is the perfect end-of-summer drink.

I just finished Beaneaters & Bread Soup. It is officially my second-favorite book. My absolute favorite is The Kitchen Diaries. There is a theme here.

Justin’s birthday is tomorrow. All he wants for his birthday is a new pair of running shoes. He asks for so little.

I’ve started writing poetry again. If you’re lucky, you’ll never have to see it on this blog, ha ha.

I’ve been thinking a lot about “enjoying the process.” I realized that while I have grown tired of lugging my camera(s) around, I really enjoy editing and posting photos. So I want to figure out a way to enjoy the process of taking photos, as a source of re-inspiration. I keep thinking I want to carry my film camera around, but it’s so hard not to get that instant gratification of digital photos. Perhaps that’s what I need, though… a longer process to enjoy.

It’s New York Fashion Week. If you need me, you will likely find me glued to my computer screen, drooling over the shows and Jamie’s cinemagraphs.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
