Diana mini...get one

the critters... 2 of 3!

TGIF. Straight up. Even though I don't have any exciting plans, simply not having to be anywhere, nor rushing to get anywhere, and being able to sleep in makes today a fine day indeed. However, this does not mean I haven't a thing to do, because that I have tons of which I plan to tackle one at a time and like a bull. List includes, developing some film (some lomo shots I took with my DIANA mini), laundry, painting, mowing the lawn, cleaning the office, finishing DIY projects, and spending some good quality home time with the critters. Some new recipes I've been dying to try will be added to the list(both food and cocktail ones). If this seems boring, well... maybe it is for a conventional weekend roster, but for me this all sounds divine. It's dream-boat quality as I have not had a spare moment to enjoy the home front activities for some time. Call me mundane, I call this nesting!

hooray, it's friday!

With the sun being out and the warmth of the weather I couldn't be happier...and it's friday! So go on and be happy for no good reason, I say. I'll be mowing my lawn, drinking ginger lemonade and enjoying the sunshine.

p.s. I do believe spring is officially here.

hooray, it's friday!

It's friday. It's cold and raining but my spirits are up thanks to some good company, exciting home improvement projects, and a couple of drinks. Wish I could transport myself and the house to a much warmer, sunnier place. Much like birds do, their flocks take off when the weather and conditions are full of gloom and have nothing to offer. To be like a bird and fly...oh, what a feeling that would be! Have a great weekend whoever you are, avian lover or not and may you find the release you are looking for. For now I stay where I am and keep warm with my internal "contour feathers" as I'm missing the necessary "flight feathers" that help me take off (it's all bird talk).

hooray, it's friday!

It's here, the day that brings joy and delight to our week! The infamous friday, otherwise known as party time, weekend, anything goes. We all seem to hail "TGIF" in different ways, cocktails after a long week, quality time with friends/lovers and family, shopping, catching-up, listening to records at home, and so on.

For me it's a rather simple day, my biggest task is to sit for a portrait later this afternoon and I'm feeling a bit nervous and excited. A swarm of thoughts blast through my head when I think of it, mostly consisting of the obvious "what to wear", "how to sit" as I have never been part of such an experience. It's quite a thing to have a talented artist do a portrait of you, and it's quite a big thing to one day be able to see a captured image of oneself on canvas, it's beautiful yet haunting.

I've received advice from friends mostly to enjoy myself others advice me to "look regal" that was the funniest one, "eat something light, and relax" said another, "bring a prop!" said my sister, and "make sure you brush your hair" is what I hear my mother saying in my mind. We'll see how this all unfolds, I'll make sure to keep everyone's advice in mind and have a good time. After all, it is friday.
