Day one "Joy"
Tuesday, July 7, 2009
Being city free is pleasant. I am not missing the whole hustle and bustle of commuting and getting to where I need to be after exiting the subway, but I do kinda miss the little girl I take care of. I am sure when they get back she will be walking, and then I will be in for it. The 4Th of July proved to be a fun one. We went out to my sister's for the day. I traded in my old laptop for a new one, and I settled on a pretty white and black HP, which I love. We sang some Karaoke, had some margaritas, burnt some corn(no, not on purpose)
Skyped a favorite Canadian, and watched some of "My Bloody Valentine" by the way, its super bloody. On Sunday we headed on back to the homestead and that ended our 4Th of 2009.
Monday started my 3 week vacation so yesterday we finally made it to the beach.
After many weeks of rain here in NY, we finally are getting some sunshine, and I mean not a cloud in the sky sort of sunshine. Of course we only lasted an hour and a half because the sun was so strong, but we did it. Finally I am not so Casper white anymore. I am also aiming to make something new everyday on these days off. That is my plan, we will see what happens with that.
But so far I came up with a little something for the OLW # 55 which was the word "Joy". Well I have found a new found joy in vintage photos that aren't mine. While in Greenpoint Brooklyn last month, I came across a great shop with all things vintage. They had a box full of old photos, and I found one of two boys who are on a lake in their tubes, swimming around. Totally screams Summertime, so very nostalgic and of course it brings to mind the word "Joy" Now I am on the lookout for some more vintage photos to make some layouts with, there is just so much you can do with them, so much story exudes from them. I just don't know what it is.
There you have it. Be back later or tomorrow. Have a great day:)
