More from the past...

Wow I was going through my friends photos on her myspace and found this old one of me I was probably 15. With my awesome telephoto lens from my Minolta. I think I was at the Greg Noll LongBoard Classic in Crescent City. Had to share this..

Soles from the past

Today I was doing some last minute decorating for this wonderful Fall season. I try to keep decorations so I am not buying stuff every year. I was searching through some old boxes and came across some old school work and there they were. My tap shoes from Kitty College a preschool I went to in Saugus, CA. I came across them one other time when we first moved to Smith River I was 12. My mom was trying to convince me to get rid of them because the box we found them in a rat got into and eat up the right shoe. I refused I was so drawn to these old shoes a part of my past where I felt something special. So I packed them up and that was that I didn't know what I was going to do them and I just put them out of sight and mind.
Until today when I found them again but this time I have someone special to share them with. I showed them to Marley and her face lit up right away she put them on and even with the strap missing on the right shoe it didn't matter. I made hers and my day there was a purpose for them all along. I didn't know it until now but that two minutes I shared with my daughter was a moment in my life where my memories from my past and memories I share with her from the present meet it was truly blissful.

Happy Halloween

Self

I am always taking pictures of the kids and John. There are never to many of myself which I don't really mind to much. I have this whole thing about taking to many pictures of myself like I am being way to self absorbed or Myspacey. You know what I am talking about. They even made a new camera that has an LCD screen on the front so you can take better pictures of yourself.I am all for self documentation but I really need to stop feeling like its a sin when I am doing it. And enjoy it so I have frozen moments of me in time to share.

Every time I am at my moms house I always want to go through the old photo albums I love looking at them. The color of the photos the smell of them the awesome clothes. Not to forget to mention I did get my old Minolta from my mother and she took some really great pictures. And she is gorgeous back then and still to this day. The pictures of her are always my favorite back when she was with my dad ..amazing! I am going to have to "borrow" a few to scan.

So I am 26 I am not getting any younger and still as self conscious as ever. I have been trying to work on myself a little more I go to the gym 2-3 times a week. I have been going for about 3 month. I lost 3 lbs..and gained 2 back ha ha but I do feel much better. I am not going to give up I am going to keep with it. So maybe one of these days I can stop taking a decapitated head photo of myself and do a whole body shot.

Love October

October is such a great month still lots of sunny and warm beach days with not so much of a crowd.

Bebe

Erica and Giorgio's co-ed baby shower was lots of fun Luciana and Marley the two toddlers on the prowl were making everyone laugh. Luciana just had a baby sister born in September baby Valentina so she would see things and yell out "this is for my baby sister" it was to cute. Marley was dragging presents over to Erica and of course helping open them. Both of the girls wide eyed at all the toys and fun stuff Giorgio and Erica were getting for there new baby coming. It's a surprise so we wont know if they are having a boy or girl but I know that Marley and Luciana will be happy to have a new cousin and playmate.
