Here are pictures from filming on Saturday, courtesy of Nate Walker. Today I polished the editing to a final cut. It needs widescreen bars, credits, and music slapped on and it will be done!

Ben worked from home today. It was lovely seeing him for breakfast and lunch. I made sausage, eggs, and toast to get us going. Then when we were both done at 4:00 pm we took Jem to Crown Hill together. It was cold today! I made hummus, falafels, and dill yogurt sauce for dinner. Last night we watched Waitress (good movie!) and so of course Ben asked me to bake a pie today. I made a tart apple and cranberry pie. It was quite good! We shared it with Nate and Miranda (one week overdue now) and Brian and then watched Arrested Development while our dogs played together. What a fun Tuesday!

Between editing I went home to watch some superbowl commercials and eat buffalo chicken pizza with my buds. Then we watched some Arrested Development. Because we CAN’T STOP! Then I went back to Brian’s with him and tweaked all the transitions to smooth out the cut. He needs to go over it tomorrow to work audio magic with evening out background noises. I came home at 11:30 to a filthy house. Now my kitchen floor is swept, dishes are humming in the washer, and all the dog toys and dog toy fuzz have been picked up. only 12:30 am. not bad.

What a week! I’ve been running around for three days on very little sleep and the remnants of a cold. So I felt like the dead when Ben woke me up this morning.

We shot a new short movie yesterday! It’s a script that Brian and I wrote a few weeks ago. Amazingly, we had a large crew and a great cast all by asking friends of friends to help out. We had a Friday night meeting and rehearsal and did all the shooting Saturday from 10 am to 7:30 pm. We worked on post production until 11:30 last night and we’ll pick it up after church today. I got the play the female lead and be editor.

I gotta split for church now. I promise that someday I’ll post all the great photos I’ve been collecting of craft projects and cooking and such.

Stuck at home today with a cold. Well, I would be stuck at home anyway, but today had the distinction of including a headache. I tried to do my reading for class but didn’t get through it all and not much stuck to my brain. I didn’t even try to do some dictation. Too bad really, because this week I might actually be busy. Wednesday I want to bake and assemble treats for Movie Club at our house. Thursday I’ll be helping film interviews for my old job. Saturday we’ll be filming a good old Movie Saturday (fingers crossed!). I hope all my resting today will help this cold blow over quickly.

One thing I can still do is ogle pretty shirts from Anthropologie. I love the feminine details! Even if these are several times the cost of what I would ever pay for a shirt.

For the first time we went to the National Western Stock Show on Friday with the Walkers. It was fun to go as a cultural excursion. Everything was new to me. Everything was familiar to Ben and reminded him of his younger years. We saw cows and chickens and bunnies and sheeps and dogs. The dog agility show was pretty fun, but they took far too long to set up their courses, especially since it was just a demonstration, not a contest. I had a giant hot dog with kraut for dinner. There are more pictures on Ben’s flickr site.

Man, I was really hoping for Doogie. I made some dumb assumptions.

Taking a cue from Oh Happy Day (a blog Miranda turned me onto), instead of buying some clothes I’ll post pictures of them.

These are from Forever 21. I cleaned out my closet this week and made a huge donation pile. I realized I have very few blouses. Many button ups (I hate wearing them but felt compelled to buy them for work) and MANY t -shirts. I like the ruffles and poufy short sleeves.

Welcome to my redesigned site! If you check my blog on a feed reader you should click through to see my new decor. My html skills are totally 1337 😉 Seriously though, this took much twiddling to get out all the little kinks, all the strange roundies, the wide margins with short borders, the residual side bars.

Yes, that’s me in the header. The colors are kind of weird so my eyes don’t look blue. Those are flowers Ben gave me for May Day when I was living in my closet, I mean, dorm sophomore year. I’ll probably change the picture from time to time. Maybe I can come up with some iconography. What other new features are there?

• Wide window for viewing two photos on a single line
• Larger font for easier reading
• Colors that are easier to read
• Updated profile

What do you think?

If you’ve logged on tonight you might have noticed the site looking all sorts of different. I’m trying out new templates and trying to customize them to my liking. Still working . . .

You are beautiful, originally uploaded by advice to sink in slowly.
