day 10: animal

[I didn't take this today, but it was too good not to use! And, I did take it recently and edit it for today's post.]

gerda weissmann klein

Kat, Julie and I went to the Holocaust Museum this weekend while Kat and I were visiting. We watched this clip at the end of the tour about how Gerda Weissmann Klein met her husband Kurt Klein, an American soldier, on liberation day. This museum was both incredibly overwhelming and moving, something everyone should go visit at least once.



[I got this video from Katherine's blog, thanks Kat!]

I returned a few hours ago from a glorious weekend south of the Mason Dixon Line!

Katherine, Michelle and I took a quick trip down for the weekend to our nation's capital to visit friends. This was my fifth time to visit DC, and I have come to the conclusion that I will forever be enamored with this city. Its old southern charm, summers that feel like Alabama, and wonderful, accessible history of our nation made me (for only a second) wonder if I should just skip my bus back to NYC...

More pictures to come from our quick 42-hour rendezvous in DC!

a day in the life

If you're wondering what my job is like, take a look at this video. This pretty much describes my daily routine...

day 6: books

look who's famous!

Check out this picture from the Tuscaloosa News! Tate got his very own picture in the newspaper on Tuesday from his participation in the Tuscaloosa 4th of July celebrations! He looks like one smitten kid.

rainbow city

Believe it or not, there was actually a place in New York City called Rainbow City! It was an art exhibit at the end of the newest addition to the Highline, and of course I had to see it. I went last Friday (the exhibit ended on Tuesday) with a coworker and we had a blast. We both agreed we could have stayed in Rainbow City forever, even though there wasn't much too it. Then we walked partially down the Highline which provided some great views. Rainbow City got two thumbs up from me!

day 5: breakfast today

(confession: I eat donuts. And I really like them. But! I don't eat them every day. I splurged for breakfast this morning because I wanted to have something pretty to photograph. That's the truth.)

day 4: hands, part 2

This photo is an added bonus from a kind contributor. It was too good not to include. Thanks for thinking of my project, Katherine!

day 4: hands

day 3: clouds

happy 4th of july!!!

I wish this was me on the 4th of July...but alas, it is not and I swiped it from here. Happy Independence Day, anyway!! I'm off for a day trip to Cold Spring to hike Breakneck Ridge, and will hopefully find a nice place to perch and watch the fireworks tonight. If not, I guess I'll be back in the mob trying my hand at fighting the crowds along the river. Either way, I've got a fun day in store!

4th of july craft

Design*Sponge posted this photo with a link to the tutorial on how to make this cute little 4th of July DIY craft with paint chips. It's so cute & easy... and free (which is the best part)! If I was having a party this independence day, I certainly would be adorning my walls with this. So maybe next year... but in the meantime, check it out!

day 2: self portrait

(this one is slightly uncomfortable... but in the spirit of playing by the rules of the game, I decided to go ahead and follow through with today's photo requirement as well.)

day 1: your favorite shoes

30 day photo project

I found the inspiration here to start this little project for the next 30 days! I started it today, and hopefully it will help me keep track of what I'm doing during the month of July... here goes...

modern spin art

Not quite, but it reminds me a lot of spin art. Thanks LA for the introduction to this new artist: Yago Hortal! I could stare at this all day.
