no, officer, i haven't been drinking

that's what i thought when i was snapping these shots tonight.

i don't know if i've ever told you about my bottlecap collection. probably have, and you are at your screen shaking your head, thinking/saying, "there she goes again, talking and raving fantastically about her amazing collections and how she is high on life." okay, so maybe you're not using those exact words, but, hey, it's my blog and i can imagine you're saying whatever amuses me. so there. now, i will rave about my amazing bottle cap collection.

okay, so maybe it's not amazing, but i keep them all in an old milk jug so i happen to think it's pretty cool. whenever i come across a neat bottle cap or try something new, i'll save the cap like a raving lunatic and drop it in the bottle when i get home, admiring the perfect "plunk" sound it makes when it nestles into the glass enclosure. just ask my brother, when we went to europe this summer, how i got all his bottle caps.

i like them. that's all i can say. they have this cool vintage retro thing to them. plus they make me remember good times with friends. and isn't that what makes you laugh in the end?

so, i bring you, my mediocre collection.

day 106: pretty as a picture

july 29.

i like this photo. maybe because i vintaged it out, maybe because i like the tiny clothespins that hold a few of my favorite photos along my wall. i hope you like it, too :)

I LOVE PICTURES!

I've always loved pictures, especially the 1950's vintage era everyone seems to love now. I swear I liked them before they were cool, just like I liked herbal tea before it was cool to like herbal tea. Hey, maybe I'm a trendsetter....well.....I highly doubt that, but I just had to say it, for laughs. Anyways, when I'm bored and looking for a change, I pull out the Rebel and snap a few pictures of myself. I posted a few weeks ago about mirror images, and I have to admit, I am a little addicted to them, just like I'm addicted to the song "Sleepy Tigers," by Her Space Holiday, and a bunch of other foot-tappers and in-the-car concerts, that I replay over and over again (it's a good thing I'm by myself in the car when these singing bants occur. Because I think I would drive everyone but myself crazy).

Anyway. Enjoy today's picture. It's a family picture today.
