I have moved...

Ok, well, I haven't moved, but my blog has!

You now can find me at http://oneofthelovebugs.wordpress.com/.

I had to change blog hosts because of the problems I have been having with Blogger.  I hate to leave and change things up, but I hope you will all come along.

Much Love,

JB

Goodbye Weekend...

*Sigh* Another weekend is over.  I know, I know, I'm still in transition, so I don't have all of the stresses of a career, but the weekends are sweet.  During the week, I fill each day with many housewife tasks, keep busy organizing, building, and creating, and run errands.  I'm a pretty busy girl. :)

This weekend was pretty fabulous.  The hubby planned a date day on Saturday, and it was terrific.  We took a little road trip to Gettysburg.  We didn't go there to do "touristy things" - we did "us" things.  We went to the outlets, where I had an awesome time trying on clothes.  I picked out some treasures at the Gap for our beach trip later in the month.  :-) 

After we got our fill of shopping, we hit up the mini-golf course - our first game of the season.  We were both really out of practice, but it was fun to laugh and see how many puts it took to get the ball in.  The course we went to is gorgeous. 

Mini golf was followed by Supermelts and Sundaes at Friendlys.  Excellent day.

Today was relaxing.  I went out and took some photos that I will share tomorrow.  As for tonight, I'm kicking back with a rasp-strawberry non fat shake I made.  Hope you all had a terrific weekend!

I dream in color...

My birthday is in 10 days.  Now, now, I’m not telling you so you’ll get me something, instead I’m telling you because on my birthday I’m going to start a big task.  I am going to do a photo a day for the entire year.  That's right.... 365 photographs.  :-D  I’m excited that I’m starting on my birthday because it’s like giving birth to a brand new project on the day that my parents celebrate the birth of the biggest “project” of their lives.

Each day I am challenging myself to take at least one photograph that is print worthy – so maybe at the end, it can be compiled for a calendar or something to that effect.  Hey… they say if you’re gonna dream, then you should “dream big!”.  

I’m always dreaming.  In fact, I dream in color, or shall I say, colors.  Aqua, yellow, orange, hot pink, sky blue, bright red, neon green (I could go on and on).  Life and everything in it is so vibrant to me.  I very rarely do black and white photos because I love the way the bright color prints jump out at you.  When I want my photograph to be mystic or reveal that deeper darker part of emotion, that's when I go B&W.  But even when I do that, I'm often tempted to let one color stay and POP! - and sometimes that's good and sometimes it defeats the emotion.  The next couple of shots are full color feeling, and they POP!

This flower makes me want to stand out in a crowd...

This piece of sky mesmerizes me....

This ladybug reminds me of love....

This rose makes me wanna dance...

And this sunset takes my breath away.

I hope you will take the time to enjoy the moment and let something take your breath away.  Life is vibrant!
