Kim 365

Back in April, I posted a shot of me painting this cabinet and said I'd show you what it looked like in its place a few days later, which didn't happen. Today was a rainy day and seemed like a good time to finally show you the finished product - I love it! I couldn't find anything that fit this tiny space and my dad lovingly built this for me. My computer finally has a home - thanks Dad!

Clay and I went on a date tonight, and took a drive by the river on our way home, in search of any photo worthy statues for this week's statue theme on the 365 site. Just finished taking these shots, when a couple of guys rode up on bicycles, wondering if we had any dope. It was time to leave.
And no, we didn't have any, in case you're wondering.

I finally sold my D70. Mostly I'm glad. The friend I sold it to is so excited about putting it to use, and here it was just collecting dust on a shelf since we got the new Canon. Still.....it's like saying goodbye to a dear friend. Maybe getting a box filled with a speedlite and new lenses will cheer me up..... :) Stay tune for that, hopefully next week.

...waiting for things and people to change without me having to. Off day. Very off day. By God's grace I hope tomorrow is better.

Benedryl, please make my arms stop itching.
Hydrocortisone cream, please make the swelling on my arms go down.
Heat rash, please go away and never come back.
My white skin was not made to live in extreme heat. It's only May! I sure hope my body acclimatizes soon!

Wyatt insisted on wearing his toque outside in our nearly 30C weather today. Honestly, I didn't pose him like that. He shoved his hands in those pockets all on his own.

Meet the newest member of our family - my niece Reese! She's only three days old, yet it feels like she's always been here - such a perfect fit to her family. Congrats Kel & Sher!

There is nothing terribly stunning about this photo, aside from the fact that our top deck now has railing!!! Much thanks to Clay and Pa, they did such a great job. Oh I am so excited! Now the BBQ can live a few steps closer to the kitchen, and we can get some deck furniture for the lower deck. Can't wait! Now all our deck needs is for us to close off the space between the two levels, and some lower steps - we are making due with other things. It is coming together so nicely!

I took this with Clay's iPhone, and am pretty impressed with the quality of it - far better than I would have gotten from my phone! We got free tickets to the Daughtry concert tonight, and a friend was kind enough to come babysit, so off we went to our first concert together in nearly 3 years. Wow, that's a long time.
The first opening band was Cavo, never heard of them, but they were really good. Then Lifehouse, and even though I have not kept up with them since their first album I really enjoyed them. Finally Daughtry, who made my night by covering Phil Collins' 'In The Air Tonight' (I am a closet Phil Collins fan thanks to my big sister Jean!), and by inviting Jason Wade of Lifehouse on stage with him during the encore to sing 'Home' together - what a great gesture. Wonderful night. We need to get out together more often!

It's not very often that I capture a genuine smile from this guy - usually when he is co-operating with having his picture taken it is accompanied by a scary face. He made a game of running from the camera today, and I managed to get a smile!
