Spilt milk…

Seriously, we can’t get a simple email reply to one question but the younger sibling gets hour long skype calls on a regular basis. The feelings of love are soooo emence!

I’m excited that my friends are at Disney for their Honeymoon but Disney Greenhorns just make me shake my head and grimace.  I’M SORRY!

Two of our friends got married last night and just arrived at Disney World an hour ago to start their Honeymoon.  Half of me is over the top excited for them to be there and to get daily pictures from them (she’s feeding my addiction by taking and sending me pictures of my favorite Disney things), but then the other half is absolutely home sick for the place and makes me depressed to know I won’t be able to go there for over a year.  I seriously can’t think of a place that makes me more happy than Disney does.  And I’m okay with that!

I made these for my work potluck today.  They turned out pretty good!
Recipe is from some Cookie Magazine:
Raspberry Truffle Tassies
In a microwave-safe bowl combine 6 ounces milk chocolate pieces (I used semi-sweet), 1/3 c. whipping cream, and 1 tablespoon seedless raspberry jam.  Microwave, uncovered, on full power for 1 minute, stirring every 30 seconds.  Stir until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth.  Stir in 1 tablespoon raspberry-flavored liqueur.  Let stand until thickened.  Spoon into 30 baked miniature phyllo dough shells and top each one with a raspberry. 
I can see why they would want you to use milk chocolate because the liqueur makes it pretty bitter, but if you’re a dark chocolate fan, stick with the semi-sweet.  Also, I thought they tasted better after they sat overnight….the liqueur wasn’t as overpowering the next day.  Enjoy!

I wish I could be perfect so my in-law family would love like me.

Self Portrait using only a LED pen light and one of those glow-cubes you can get in fancy drinks at Disney.  Trying to get a little creative!

I challenged myself to one self portrait a month this year and I’ve pretty much failed at it since I seem to only get to it every 2-3 months.  I find self portraits really challenging as I can’t look through the viewfinder to set up the shot and I make really stupid faces to boot.  None-the-less, here’s October’s photo!

A girl I work with, who loooves posing (she’s even tried out for America’s Next Top Model), and I decided to have a just-for-fun photo shoot.  Photographing people who can pose so naturally is soooo fun!

A definite new rule is only becoming friends with people who are already married.  I’ve known too many people that have turned into someone totally different after they get married.  Don’t like.

Some Tom Felton afternoon delight.  I’m definitely on an English kick lately!

Did a Senior Session for my long time friend’s daughter this week (we’re doing another one this weekend).  She’s grown up to become such a beautiful young lady!  She seriously didn’t have a single bad photo out of 300.  Picking the best is really hard!
