Well, I wanted to do an outfit post today, but it is wet and gloomy and cold out, so instead I'm stealing this 48 Questions thing from Liz's blog. ๐ I'm also guest blogging today over at The Streeters Unlimited, with 5 Tips for a More User-Friendly Blog. Check it...
Fun Camera News!
So, this morning I won an auction on Ebay for a Nikon D5000 camera. !!!! I've worked with Nikon DSLRs before (most particularly when I was a photography intern at a newspaper way back when) but have never myself owned one. I've been getting by with my Nikon Coolpix...
Trends I Love & Dislike
Trends I Love with Abandon Skinny jeans/pants. I never thought I'd jump on the skinny jean bandwagon, but I'm definitely a convert. They do amazing things for my posterior, and are easy to pair with different shoe types. Colorful tights and thigh-highs. I haven't...
Friday Favorites: Mmmchiladas
Today's recipe brought to you by my Mexican-food-loving boyfriend, Ian, who has gotten me addicted to it as well (probably a good thing, since we are in Texas and all). He's the stud you'll see assembling things in the pics below. These are simple and delicious. And I...

My lil' sis is coming to visit this weekend! She's been a mere 2 hours away since August, but since her life has been signed over to the USAF, her free time has generally not been her own, and so I've only seen her twice here in Texas. But this weekend she has a 3-day...
Thought for Thursday: Split Personalities?
via I'm not sure if many of you know this, but Dragonflight Dreams is actually the 3rd blog I own (and the @DragonflightGal account is my 3rd twitter account, correspondingly). I have a LOT of different interests in life, and they don't always blend or overlap neatly....

Right Now (#2)
Right now, I am... still in my pajamas, because I'm doing laundry. wishing that more people would sign up for the Be My Valentine Gift Swap. *hint hint* relieved that apparently it's good to have a big rain right after you plant bulbs in the garden, as I just planted...
