Dastardly Bug and a Possible Side Business

April 1st, 2010 by Patricia

I’m lucky enough (or unlucky, depending on your viewpoint) to only get really sick about twice per year. Usually, I’m fairly good at telling the bad ones, from the just annoying ones. Illnesses, that is. This time? I was not so good at it. In fact, I got a big, fat F for FAILURE.
It all [...]

SXSW and The Greatest Meetup of 2010

March 16th, 2010 by Patricia

Ok, I’m definitely biased. But few people have enriched my life lately in the way some of these folks have. If you don’t know him already, Chris Gillebeau is the guy that keeps the blogosphere buzzing with thoughts and projects for the “nonconformist.” Sounds scary? Dreaming big often is. But Chris has this particularly special [...]

August 30th, 2009 by Patricia

Dear Kimmers,
These past fours years have been nothing short of a big ride! Who would have thought that a stint in crazy town would have bloomed into one amazing friendship! We’ve said it many times, but I can’t help but continue to marvel at the great things this beautiful life has for us if we [...]

The New Painter

May 13th, 2009 by Patricia

After three looong years, Matisse finally has a new buddy. They’re in cahoots already…their mission? To overdose me with their unstoppable cuteness!

Meet Renoir:

Reni, for short.

Amazingly, at just 12 weeks, she’s as good as potty trained.
Hooray!! We feel like we won the lottery…

…except she’s pretty darn good at keeping us up [...]

Gaping Hole

May 4th, 2009 by Patricia

I spent the better part of last week entertaining my cousin who was visiting from Chile. We explored various restaurants around town, gamed it up at D&B, went shopping, visited the Rice campus, saw Mates of State and Sunbears live, visited family, and mostly vegged around the house catching up on the past eight years [...]

Bittersweet Symphony – On the Verge of Being Committed

April 3rd, 2009 by Patricia

So I’m listening to Pandora (more on that later), and one of my very favorite songs comes up: The Verve’s Bittersweet Symphony. I haven’t heard that song in ages!
I can’t help but let the melody sweep me into song at the top of my lungs and at the distress of Matisse’s poor ears. As [...]

M.I.A.

April 2nd, 2009 by Patricia

Whew! It’s been a crrrazy month! I’ve been so very bad about blogging and I’m feeling the pain. On the other hand, I have a lot of cool stuff to put up! Lots of photos, lots of ideas, lots and lots of past and upcoming adventures overall. March was absolutely wonderful…but it was…well, in a [...]

Houston Arbor Day 2009

February 25th, 2009 by Patricia

I’m really excited about a recent partnership between Plum Tree Studios and Trees For Houston. At the end of last year I got to thinking about making a greater effort to work and live green and I came up with the idea to donate trees for every couple that books their wedding photography with me [...]
