Mom & Snipper

The other week blazey tried to put me on the spot for not heading down to see the family in Springfield. So just incase he tries to front on me again I want to show some photos from the other day - Dinner with mom and my step-pops, Snipper aka Loren F. Browder Jr. I racked my brain trying to find a place for dinner. Mom doesn't eat red meat, pork or sea food and snip doesn't eat Chicken or seafood – yes, chicken! Once i met up with them at the Book Loft they told me the local Max & Ermas was just fine.

Snip: (I'm not sure how he got the name) Loren is going to look just like him in 35 years.

The place mom insist i bring "teeny book girl". The one on the right is Max and Erma's original location in German Village

Big Snip's tat from way back.

They were getting ideas for their back yard from the B&B I stay at (German Village Guesthouse)

Mom's hair is fly

It Ain't No Joke

I kinda hurt my back yesterday and I figured i needed to see the doctor since i can barely get out of bed. The video shows me walking pretty well (hunched and slow but still okay) but that wasn't the case 95% of the time today. Yeah i rode ella which was probably was a mistake. While I was sitting waiting for some lame advil prescription I got bored and walked creeped around the store looking for magazines

Escape from NY (again)

This weekend Blazey, Sonya and I are in Tucson Arizon for Comron's wedding. He and Blazey have been kinda like bffs for since way back when they were youngins. The photos here are from this morning at rehearsal. (yeah, i'm the wedding photographer if you couldn't have guessed already. No, I don't do weddings*)

Put On - Jeezy ft. Yeezy: Hit play this then look at the photos. If i could wear headphones while i shoot tomorrow i would have this on repeat.

* unless your wedding is somewhere I haven't been yet and I can party with you after the first dance.

journey to the eiffel

Yesterday i saw the Eiffel tower for the first time since the last ime i was at Kings Island in Cincinnati, Ohio. I'm sorry but as grand as it may be, all the year visiting the amusment park and or driving to cincinnati via i71 numbed me a bit. I've not seen it lit up at night yet and maybe that is when I will be truly awe inspired. Or maybe in a situation that marcia discribed on her wonderfully written blog:

"The couples made it more beautiful. 

I know its a cliche, but lest we forget, I am a girl and I do have a great big heart.  Seeing these two couples standing in front of the Eiffel Tower, one young, one older about twenty feet apart from one another standing  on the great big lawn/garden. They were both embraced, the younger couple just staring out across the at Paris, taking everything in, the older couple alternately kissing and looking up at the tower, whispering to one another in that secret language that two people in love share. "

We also took a little stroll through the Luxembourg gardens.

Where I sleep: french edition

I was having quite a hard time finding a place to stay. I really felt the need to find a hip, boutique hotel for at least the final 3 nights. I found a place called the Five Hotel that seemed to fit my style perfectly but i was still without a place for the first 4 nights. Sonya and her sister visited Paris last year and i remember her saying how great it was to have rented an apartment for the week. So i started looking for a little apartment in the Latin Quarter / St. Germain area of town. After several days of not finding anything and having a hard time contacting a few that were avaible Marcia (who has been in paris for a week already) discovered this great little place. I was going to only stay for 4 nights and then switch off to the hotel for the final two. Well, once i got to the area, walked up the 4 flights of stairs and saw how perfectly french this place was, i immediately wanted to stay all 6 nights here. Instead of the 450 euro she was asking, i paid the full 650 for the week and that was that. No boutique french hotel this time.

The place has two rooms, a great bathroom, a full size and a half size bed, kitchen, free wi-fi (pronounced wee-fee by my french folks) and unlimited calling to the U.S.
