now THAT'S a steady hand.

Metalsmithing has trained me to have a pretty steady hand... but the precision and detail in these eggs are seriously impressive.  I can see the eggs just crumbling in my hands.

just a second to breathe

On Saturday morning my brother and I hopped in the car and headed up I-95 to go visit our grandparents in New Jersey.  We picked the perfect weekend to go because the leaves are beginning to change color (YEAH!) and the drive was beautiful.

Our grandparents live on a lake, in a quiet old town, nestled in the farms of Southern Jersey.  (A perfect place to relax.)

I spent a little time in one of these chairs...

with a book on my lap...

enjoying the view and taking a second to breathe.

why oh why???

Why is it that the songs that get stuck in your head are:

1. songs that you haven't heard in years

2. songs that you can't stand

3.  songs that you haven't heard in years and also can't stand

WELCOME to my world.

In my head is usually something like this.

And now...

GO FISH.

I've always been pretty indifferent when it comes to Halloween.  But thanks to my good friend Laurel, I've actually been looking forward to dressing up this year.  (Wait, did I just say that?)  

What I mean, is that I've been forced to get excited about Halloween.  (just kidding!)

Anyway... I've been researching the art of face painting and I found these AMAZINGLY animated fish faces.

Monday's musicfest

Last night I saw one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Two of the most entertaining musicians out there... Common and Pharrell with N.E.R.D. 

Highlights of the night... Pharrell's sick dance moves, and Common's 10 minute freestyle.  

The evening was a perfect way to start off the week.  

Lots of dancing, fist pumping, and preaching about this guy...  (which is always okay in my book)

The scary thing is that I think this broad may live down the street from me in good old Charm City.

my toast looks like jesus

It's been a pretty LONG week, and I'm starting to catch a little cold... so I decided to turn in early tonight.  I'm lying here in bed, just checking up on what's going on in blogland and I found this sweet image.

A happy accident from ladies and gentleman home blog.

It's NO Jesus on toast or Virgin Mary on a cinnamon roll,  but it brought a smile to my face (and this mug).  HA!
