practice

I recently bought a Canon Powershot SX10IS for hella cheap off Amazon. I know it's not an slr or anything too fancy, but I love it. I splurged on it for our upcoming road trip and have been testing it out in the meantime.

a fair warning

Warning: I am the typical cat owner in that I think my kitties are absolutely adorable. further, I believe that all of the world agrees and wants to see pictures!

Adorable, no?

Admittedly, this one is not so adorable. She is cross-eyed and silly looking.
But everytime I see this, I can't help but lulz.

one week

Adam and I leave in one week for our roadtrip. I've taken a month and a half off of work, and we've been trying our damndest to save money.

Our plans, like the road, are open.

I intend on updating frequently with pictures and stories.

i hardly feel i can claim these

While cleaning/packing I found an old folder from 10th Grade English stuff with a poetry portfolio.

Solid Ground. Mother Earth. Heart and Soul.
Millions of memories intertwined.
We won't let our elders forget
The lamentation on their faces tell us what we are
the crescent moon
the sweeping rain
childhood memories
We are all of these things
Each and every one of us, the same
the same home
the same Mother
body and soul

Oxygen Reminder
Should I scream at the toop of my lungs?
Or settle for what is given to me?
"She just goes on and on,
never stopping to inhale."
