The current loves of my life

Sadly I'm the type of person to laugh when I see someone fall or trip.  But luckily the only thing funnier than that, is when I fall.  Last night, after watching DWTS, and becoming overly excited.  I was practicing my sweet ballroom dance moves.  Of course, silly old me, was wearing socks and dancing on wood floors.  So in an epic attempt at a high kick, my other leg completely slips out from under me.  I come crashing to the floor landing right on my hip.  Classic.  I was probably laying on the floor for about three minutes crying from laughing so hard.  Who says I need friends or a significant other for entertainment? Besides making an ass out of myself, these are my other loves of the moment:

• upcoming holidays
• my abstract painting 
• banana bread
• exploring new grains
• fancy scarves
• morning cup of coffee
• the compete ignorance of my bio class
• rehearsal 
• bored to death
• finding my split again
• brussel sprouts
• wonderful fall weather
• playing tag with my sister's kitten
• how many times I have laughed this month due to two very specific people

The Hills are Alive...

Sorry fellow followers, I've been busy, lazy, and uninterested.  I love having a blog, but I never want it to feel forced.  I'll try to get back to my day-to-day blogging but for now here is a little bit of I've been up to:

• Delightful trip to California (pictures soon)
• Lots of homework and projects leftover from while I was in California
• Cast as Liesl in my community theater's production of "The Sound of Music"
• Painting a self portrait
• Enjoying the amazing fall weather
• ...and eating waffles

With our garden in full bloom, I took a few photos around our house. Please enjoy.

And finally...my finished black and white still life.  Its nothing too impressive, but your feedback will be appreciated.

Earl who?

So as most of you know, the east coast was hit by hurricane Earl last Thursday.  While he didn't cause any major damage, he certainly churned up the ocean a bit.  I managed to snap a few photos at the beach before the "storm" hit.  And here are a few of my favorites:
