So, this is the story all about how I went from being a cat person, to a verified dog mama. Once upon a time in Florida there was a dog named Levi. He lived with my sister, Marisa. He had personality to spare, was well-behaved, and easy to train. He was also pretty...
So, along with my new camera (which got here yesterday but I haven't had a chance to play with much because I had to charge the battery first and was feeling crappy yesterday), I also picked up this beauty this past weekend: Yup. I can haz sewing machine! You may...
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. 🙂 I'm also guest blogging today over at The Streeters Unlimited, with 5 Tips for a More User-Friendly Blog. Check it...
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 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...
I had to drop my sister off at Lackland AFB yesterday afternoon, which we were both sad about. The weekend was a ton of fun! We ate tons of good food around Austin, went to karaoke, went thirft/boutique shopping on South Congress, played with doggies (mine, and a...
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...
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, 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...
Music can be very powerful to me, but it seems like most of this last year I kind of let slide my appreciation and exploration of it. So the last few weeks I've tried to focus on discovering a lot of new music/bands, and re-discovering some old goodies that I hadn't...
