I’m So TeLLing nAnA on yOu

Daily imperfections occur and I have to say make me laugh! This week I had some shining moments:

1. I was giving my self a bang trim.  It turned out pretty good and I was proud of my handy work until I realized I was hovering the whole time over my wine glass.  Ooops.

2.  After a long run I ran to the kitchen to make a smoothie.  I whipped out our new blender.  I say “NEW” because last week our old one started smoking and the plastic melted and BLEW off.  Yes- exploded! Our nifty new one pulses and I’m not used to that yet.  SO- when I thought it was done I pulled the top off.  BIG mistake.  You’ll never guess…it wasn’t done!  Purple goodness shot EVERYWHERE.  My mom was on the phone and turned to look at me in shock.  It was on the ceiling, the cabinets, the floor, and yes people, in my hair!!!!  My mom has now put me on a “blender restriction”.

3.  For those of you who don’t know- I temporarily live with my parents {which explains #2}.  I’m house hunting which can be tricky so I’m lucky enough to have a great family to lean on!  The mini-me loves this and on multiple occasions this week I heard the ever wonderful phrases “OOH-I’m so telling Nana on you“! Or even better “your mom is going to be so mad” .  So what prompts these responses from my little 6 year old, if I eat in the den or even if I let the dogs eat the crumbs off the floor. Over all it’s kinda funny! Not many 28+3 year olds can say this {yea- thats how I refer to my age}

4.One last thing..this morning I forgot the uber-min’s lunch box.  So in true multitasking form I combined the lunch delivery with my morning run.  So- if you happen to be driving through little 5 points and saw a girl hauling bootie proudly dawning a bright green smily faced froggy lunch box- it was me! It was quite the fashion statment:)

Enough nonsense and on to business…wedding post time!!! Carlie + Justin’s wedding was one that we will always remember.  We got to know Carlie pretty well during the planing process and did a few sessions with her and her boy! {click HERE to see their e-sesh }By the time her wedding rolled around it was like going to a new friends celebration! We had heard roomers of her hay bale seating, quilts galore, little piggies, pumpkins, tree swings, and smores! This chick did  ALL of this her self {with a bit of help from family}.  The wedding took place on her grandparents farm on White Western Lake.  She had a vision and tossed all of her creative energy into one sweet, heart felt event!!!! We LOVED capturing every second!!!!!

Hope y’all enjoy!!!

G to G LoVE

Please excuse this interruption from our normally scheduled Wednesday Airwaves. Instead I’ll be informing you of Friday nights upcoming TuneFEST! What’s this? Who am I seeing? The one and only G LOVE at the Variety Playhouse! Hands down the G is one of my favorite all time artist.  He’s no flavor of the week {but if he was he’d be peanut butter chocolate, only because it’s the tops in my book}! A little history for ya:

Picture a 15 year old me, a basement, and Chad Weyrich. Face it- basements and teenagers usually mean trouble.  But not this time! My good buddy Chad lived up the street and not only was he a great pal to have at the bus stop but he introduced me to G LOVE.  Speakers up loud, “Baby’s Got Sauce” blared- and I was hooked.  {Believe me- this was a treat considering he usually plagued my ears with the screaming sensations of metallica}

Years later I’m still a junkie.  The countdown has begun and Friday night I’ll be standing in my momma’s spot at the Variety! The V. Playhouse is  just a block from our home and one of her favorite venues.  Live music and mom just go together.  In fact she used to frequent so much, my stepdad would walk her there, drop her off with a few bucks for a beverage, let her find her knitch in the crowd, enjoy, and then walk to pick her up.  Maybe it’s in our blood:)  For years I lived in an area where good live music was nil, nada, zilch.  Now being back in home sweet home Hot-lanta, the addiction has been revived!

So…..

Friday night or BUST!!!!!!

cherish fiedler - LOL! you are to funny, ! still remember the day you played
“Baby’s Got Sauce” for me :) …Have a great time!

genya - Thanks Lady!!!!!

Kristen Lemley-Entrekin - Okay, so I should totally be making the final updates to my photo book on this rainy day….but for some reason I don’t want the experience to end! The gals at Vue are so incredibly, amazing, flexible &patient to work with! And since I grew up in Philly, I am also a huge G Love fan! So bummed I missed the concert! Watch out though, you have some competition for the biggest fan in Hotlanta , ha ha!

“August in January” sounds pretty good to me…I’ve been freezing my butt off on a daily basis. The daydream of sweltering sun, long sweaty runs through the city, splashing in the pool, and popsicles galore sounds FANTASTIC! However- I know for a fact that the phrase “August in January”  has a whole different appeal to my pal and fellow photog Kristy Dickerson.  Her once family of three has now become four!
