Salton Sea, CA - Nikon D60

To celebrate the New Year of 2009, Nate and I drove out to the Salton Sea 1/1/2009. A place that had come up in conversation quite a bit. We did not find the ruins and urban decay of the once flourishing town, after all, that would've required driving around the sea and we just wanted to get some photos of the sea itself. We found the nature reserve area and proceeded on our photographic excursion. These are a few of my favorite shots!

This will get framed!

I love the natural blend of colors in this one.

BFC Ink Doll Collection Complete!!

Well, if it isn't obvious, I got into doll collection, but I suppose I always was a doll collector, just not really by choice as my mom would buy me a porcelain doll every year for my birthday until I moved away for college, but even then I still got porcelain dolls as gifts from her and other members of my family. Over the years of course I have collected dolls from the 80's like the Kimberly doll by Tommy, and of course Barbie... then I got into repainting Bratz dolls the past couple of years and added Monster High to the list of dolls to look for at flea markets etc... But one day, by chance I came across the now out of production MGA Entertainment 18" BFC Ink (Best Friends Club Ink) dolls. These dolls are way cuter, in my opinion, than American Girl Dolls (which I really do not like at all actually) or Journey Girls etc... They have a hard body all the way and were made in two types. The first productions were just all vinyl bodies, much like the Wellie W...

Day 18: Gotta get ready for the February Show with Finding THETIS

I have been getting up late. This is getting out of hand... and I really need to go back to the Kaiser clinic to get my blood-work done. I've lost the morning, but I can at least go out and earn money. I get dressed, my butterfly print top, and khaki pants... I opt to wear my slipper boots... who do I have to impress? This is not my best outfit. I don't care. I get to work but it is already 1:30. After a couple of rides I remember it is Thursday. Wasn't I going to carpool with Bryce from Finding THETIS? I send a text message. "We carpooling?" "I was just thinking about you" he replies. We joke about food before hand and decide to grab pizza on the way to practice, thus we should meet up at 4. Itis now about 2:30 and I become self aware to what I am wearing... yeah, no one cares, but suddenly I don't want to be this frumpy around my band. I stop by Ross and buy some dressy pants, a dressier blue shirt, and some shoes, I ...

Divorce is a hell of an experience.

It's really difficult to shine your inner light and love when you are overwhelmed with gloomy circumstances. I am for the most part doing okay. But my soon to be officially ex-husband is so cheery and happy to be rid of me until I try to talk to him and figure things out. He thinks staying out of my way is better, but if I don't see him but know he is here, it hurts, and if I see him, as happy as I am to see him, I remember the reality of things and it hurts... I want him here and I want him out. He'll survive this and thrive, and I will survive this and struggle... but it is a struggle that will lead to growth. I know that. All I want is my home... I don't want to lose my home. It's all financial for him but it is more than that to me. This is where my mom will ultimately come live, with my brother too. This is where I want to raise kids which I hope to adopt since life threw me this situation. This is where my animals are happy and can ...
