lpc

it was soooo weird to go back to school last night. The last time i was there was 6 years ago!! so many memories flooded over me! pammy, christian, dan, jules, tara, daniel, (thats where we became friends!) adam, tommy, brandon, bean, anna,...wow! and i was still driving my big blazer..i remember running it into a poll in the parking lot, getting lots of parking tickets, killing my car battery, flying kites in the field, alpha gamma sigma honor society, the burritos on the roach coach, getting arrested after music class,ms hannah, being vegan, bakers square, yoga class, ms cole (ha ha!! OOOOH toby!!) it was always so much fun! too bad i never ended up doing anything with my whopping 79 units!!(couldnt pass math!!!).
It was funny..i got to class, and then i had to run to the bookstore to get a pen and paper cause i wasnt even thinking!!! dude..its school..i need a goddamned pen and paper!!!
anyways....my digital class is gonna be rad!!! i love it!!
and i realized how much i havent changed..when i STILL couldnt sit still and pay attention in class! and how i left my memory card plugged into the computer. I hope i get it back!! arrrggg.
hah aaaa..welll.some things just never change...

water logged

i went swimming ALL day today. we just got home. hot hot hot
im feeling rather pooped.
must pry self away from mindless web wandering...
and fold laundry and do water changes in the fish tanks.
looking forward to a nice ice cold gin n tonic when my hubby love gets home.

video maddness...bella's first steps

did you know that you can directly link videos from photobucket to blogger?? cool.
dude...i sound so annoying. sorry..the mic is just closer to my big fat mouth..setting that aside...the rest is cute..This is the day after b's bday party (holy hangover) that was supposed to be a monday night "get together" not a monday night drunk fest till 4. dont get me wrong. what a pleasant surprise!! fuck yes!!! anyways...this is bella's first walk...

cat n dog

my first baby

cleaned out some old shit..and found these pics, pre digital revolution
(isnt it weird to not have random pictures lying around anymore?)
....im getting my little bathroom back in working order..
.new kitchen faucet going in soon(found a leak and a shitload of mold on my cleaning mission yesterday)..drip drip, fuck, but a new one only cost $45 (we got the cheapest to save money). pretty stoked., plus, it made for a fun outing to home depot on brandons day off...got some stuff for the garden, which,ended up being more money than the sink, which led me to think...should we just get a really nice sink instead? ??
but i went with the plants, slug killer, garden border, shovel, and some nice vines to climb around the front window; because i just dont give a shit about having a nice sink.
its hotter than shit out again. i thouroughly enjoyed that mild summer streak. but its nice to sit around during the day and drink pacifico with lime and watch animal planet by the fan.
hmmm.. i have just been informed by brandon that our new houseplant is poisonous (shit), ha ha..hes totally reading my Real Simple magazine right now. ok...back to wedding album making.

go local!

i spent $38 on the new harry potter because i love my little bookstore downtown. (its $19 at costco!) Theres just some things from my passionate youth i must not lose sight of...

Bella Lily Huneke

happy birthday brandon part two

happy bday brandon part one

Happy Birthday Chloe Valentina!

today sucked

and im going to vent now...

at this very moment i am supposed to be at Laspositas taking a digital photography class,but brandon is working late and..well...scheduling just didnt work out, as usual.

Im sending my broken camera in for repair tomorrow and have canceled all my portrait appointments...that have lately become more hassle than their worth.

Just a bit ago i soiled my white dress with blood (from junipers bloody nose) and poo (from averys...well..butt.) within a five minute time span.

and thats just the tip of the iceberg...

bla. im tired. im going to go make a cocktail now.

af!

illusional thinking

Where did the summer go? I guess this is how its going to be..a flurry of birthday parties and swim lessons for the next ten years or so.
ON days when Im feeling a little nutty from doing kids stuff all day, i just think about how weird its going to feel someday without them around all the time. So, i wake up everyday and relish every moment of it the best i can. but Its hard to consciously soak in the moments while actually living them at the same time. i guess thats why i take so many pictures.


Its funny..when i look back at my blog, i think...wow! THat looks fun..and it is, dont get me wrong, but man...it hardly depicts the reality of my life in any way. For the most part, its pure insanity around here. anyone planning on having their children close in age so they will be friends...rethink that theory. ok ok, they are still little, and starting to play together a little now,im sure things will be different soon, but the last two years have been a complete blur of junipers jealousy, time management, nap/dance scheduling, my own guilt for not having enough energy for them both, madness, and tears.

however, when they do hug and kiss each other ... its like the BEST THING IN THE WORLD! and a piece of me just...i cant explain the feeling, but its awesome.

and despite all the madness, were thinking of getting a dog..man..

I had recently been informed a friend of ours got his girlfriend a Himalayan persian kitten. I couldnt help but reflect on a time when it was just me and brandon. its such a distant memory now, its almost like it never happened. It feels like we have always been a family. which is so bazaar, but then again..im strange for thinking this way, but in the words of my mother (oh goodness...here i go) "just wait till you have kids".

and this is how it all began...

another day
