5 senses friday
(via abbytriesagain )

i recently discovered abby's blog, which is so inspiring! i thought this a great idea.

tasting:

whole wheat bagel with egg, cheese, and avocado

smelling:

lavender and wild flowers shea butter

seeing:

going to the park and watching the orange purple sunset with sofie everyday

hearing:

every time i go outside for a walk i play this song,
j'suis pas d'ici by thomas dutronc

feeling:

soft soaped

This weekend seemed pretty eventful and by that I mean we got to do laundry Friday night and Sofia spent the night at her grandma's. Saturday morning I had to wait for a guy to come re-grout our bathroom tiles. It took him all day, even though he made it seem as if he was going to be done in 3 hours. Anyway I took advantage of it and cooked a couple of dishes, listened to records and watched most of 'Louie CK' on netflix. He's hilarious!

On the other hand Sofia had a fever that day, but I couldn't leave to pick her up because the guy grouting the bathroom was taking forever. I felt bad. Thankfully it lasted only for one day. She had the chills but her temperature was between 100 - 103F, so I wrapped her up and she went to bed early. She was able to sweat it out that night. The following morning she woke me up all giggling and shouting my name. We even went to the carnival and ate zeppoles.

(update on my camera issue: it's not a light leak, the marks are stretch marks from when i rewound the film all haphazardly and forced it too much. i'll be gentle from now on.)

butternut squash soup with gorgonzola croutons
adapted from smitten kitchen

warm butternut and chickpea salad with tahini
from orangette

i actually didn't like it very much with the chickpea and onions.
but i did love the squash by itself.
however, andrew turned it into hummus. lol

morning commute.

so i'm not going to pretend that i haven't been obsessing over this first world problem of mine with this camera. but i have come to a conclusion that i should at least change the battery and purchase myself a seal kit on ebay.

so i found a spotmatic on craigslist for $35, but i paid $25. i'm quite proud of this. the first roll i took mostly outside (see previous posts). but this second roll i developed, i noticed these lines, or lightleaks. i am still in denial and blaming cvs for frockin up my pictures. but my heart feels heavy when i see these images because i know that the camera is most likely leaking light. please tell me it ain't so.
