One of my hubster's favorite eats in Tucson. Black Cherry drink was delish. Reminded me of Kool-Aid.

Love him. He's learning about Native Americans who still live in an isolated canyon.

Went to the mission outside of Tucson. The glow of candles is always enchanting.

Olallieberry shrub is starting to sprout leaves. Clearly, all this warmth is confusing the plants and the kiddos!

Used to be an avid scrapbooker. Now, I'm too lazy and too far behind. My friend Nic gave me the idea to do a vacation memory jar. Here's our Costa Rica jar.

Our umpteenth visit to the Getty Center. Seriously, lost count of our visits.  Inspired by Jamie Beck's Met post. 
Post processing: grayscale and vignetting.

 Had my belated FOBulous birthday party with my a-mazing friends. I adore them.

Went to see the Monarchs this evening. When it's sunny, they drink water from the nearby puddles/standing waters. A fun fact told by the docent.

Taken during a much needed 10 minute walk after school before I went to my 3-hour seminar for beginning teachers. Arch from the time of Junipero Sierra.

I'm 26 years old. My mom still sends me care packages ever so often. This time, I got literary artist and Sunday funnies stamps, Katy Perry's CD, and a thoughtful card. Yes, I still love stamps and CDs. I'm old school like that.

 I love collecting sea glass. It's sad to think that it comes from a discarded bottle like this one.

Had a very random day. Went to the coffee shop to wrap up work, roamed my favorite bookstore, and found a hidden nursery.

    We love our market where we can grind our own fresh peanut butter and flour.

   Kept busy taking photos while we circled around and around in the Land Shark.

   I adore trees. They calm my soul even when they're bare in the winter.

Greetings from my craft room. I felt so inspired after a dull day at work. Then, I saw my cute mug from Anthropologie and my action figures for a Slinkachu inspired photo project. Instant smile.

Another sky photo. My hubster and I love to look at the stars together when we have free time.

A beautiful start to my day. I often forget how amazing it is to have a little cloud cover in the morning.

I love anything pickled (minus okra and pigs' feet). I'll eat them until I get a stomachache. Not  healthy, but they're so delicious.

A sweet gift from a student for Christmas. Delicious homemade peach jam.

Our Tabatha keeps our life spicy like habanero spicy. Good thing, she's gorgeous.

   Home before dark. Had to leave work before 3:30. Herbs are looking good.

Started to think that this project might be the end of my creative confidence. I haven't really liked any of my shots, but I'm honestly too busy or too tired to make more of an effort during this transitional week being at school. Hopefully, it'll get better.

So, I'm cheating. I took this photo awhile ago, and it's been on my desktop for awhile. I love graffiti, especially stencil graffiti. What does this one mean? I'm not quite sure.

   From Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris. Very dark (the prose and my photo).

   Fuzzy crocheted booties from Jove. So cozy after a looong first day back to school.

First day of the new year. First step to getting beach ready. Whole wheat pasta with fresh tomato sauce and roasted winter veggies. Hubster approved.
