  • Ice, Ice Baby

    We had an ice storm yesterday afternoon and last night, and woke up this morning to about a 1/4″ of ice covering everything. I was so bummed that I didn’t have time to grab my camera this morning and take some icicle pictures. Poor Chris had to spend 20 minutes scraping his car. Isn’t he the ultimate gentleman for always letting me have the spot in our single-car garage?

  • Work Hard, Rock Hard

    Chris and I didn’t end up going geocaching this weekend. We actually got on a huge organizing kick, and ended up doing some early spring cleaning. We filled about 6 huge trash bags with clothes and household items to donate, and we organized our storage room by putting things into nice bins and labeling everything.

    And then last night we went to the Angels and Airwaves concert at the 9:30 Club in DC. The show was amazing! Chris and I got there early enough to have our choice of where to stand. We were originally down on the floor about 5 people deep from the stage, but we ended up snagging a spot upstairs against the balcony. I’m so glad Chris suggested that, because the kids on the floor where we were standing were big into moshing and crowd surfing. It was fun to watch them from above at a safe distance. Tom DeLonge’s energy on stage was infectious, so much so that the guy standing next to me was nearly having a spiritual experience. He was so excited. I’ve never seen someone so into a band before – he moved to every single note, and knew every single word to all of the songs.

    No cameras were allowed, but I did take a quick picture with my Blackberry (in the dark, while people were bumping into me, so please don’t hold me accountable for the quality!):

  • Not Quite a Billboard, But It’s a Start

    I just submitted copy for an ad in the Ashburn monthly newsletter (sort of a magazine-style monthly publication). It’s my first official ad and even though it’s just a tiny little classified, I’m pretty excited! I’m hoping that my name will mostly keep getting around by word-of-mouth, but a little word-of-newsletter can’t hurt to stir things up close to home.

    There. I found something in my house I’ve never photographed before.
