roasted tomatoes, originally uploaded by shutterbean.

yes yes… the simple pleasures of a sunday. the sweet smell of roasted tomatoes fills the house. the pit of laundry disappears into dozens of neatly-stacked-fresh-smelling piles. the sound my camera snapping away pictures is muffled by the birds chirping in the backyard mixed with an over-zealous cat who WANTS to be let outside…(only to roll around in the dusty leaves that still sit on the porch). Toes are painted, touch panels are being tested in the living-room-turned lab, coffee is downed, cats are squeezed, and chores are slowly getting taken care of- It’s almost 2:30 and I think what I’ve been putting off since I woke up is NEXT… a shower. Happy Sunday. Happy lazy-ass day.

after watching the show WORK OUT, I was aching to try the protein shake that Jackie Warner recommended for her clients. I thought was totally nasty the first time I had it (i guess i used too much liquid aminos)- but then suddenly i was sitting at my cubicle at work CRAVING it. I’ve made it the past 4 days for breakfast. This is my latest food fad. When am I not in the market for a new food fad?

maker faire explodes on my desk, originally uploaded by shutterbean.

today we went to the maker faire! Talk about sensory overload. We were standing in line to get food and someone commented “this place is like burning man for nerds”

so many fun things…so many business cards…so many crafty people and buckets and buckets of inspiration!

i almost bought a checkbook cover that had little birds on it…but decided I should really motivate and make my own. The only question is - how long it will take?

this weekend was filled with gardening (new hydrangeas & a meyer lemon tree), deep kitchen cleaning, cappucino drinking, laundry, cat snuggling, and preparing/eating a vietnamese chicken slaw.

time to watch sopranos!
