around atlanta: chihuly nights
Back in August, I stopped in at the Atlanta Botanical Garden to renew our family membership so I would be all set to buy tickets for Chihuly in the Garden. First, we put off going due to the heat. Then we couldn’t find the time with Camille’s play. And then it got to the last

Who doesn’t love Grand Central? Even when we are not headed off on a train, we make a point of stopping in the station for the architecture, the vibe, the food, and the stores!

I love the variety of transportation options in San Francisco!
around atlanta: star provisions
Next stop on goal of learning more about Atlanta was Westside Provisions District and Star Provisions. We first tried to eat breakfast at West Egg, but the wait was ano hour long, so we passed on it. Instead, we wandered through the shops and got to Star Provisions, which turned out to be a perfect
photo friday: times square
Overcrowded, crazy. Some people avoid it altogether. I hate crowds too, but I always get a thrill out of seeing all the lights and the energy.

photo friday: shopping in nyc (camille style)

I had so much fun taking photos at my sister’s baby shower!
glassblowing.
Another new experience for me. I’ve really been stepping out of my comfort zone lately and pushing myself to try all sorts of new things. The TEDx conference, a Python meetup, guitar lessons. And now glassblowing. I’ve driven by the studio in Decatur for years now, but I have never actually been in. When I
photo friday: off (and on) broadway
When Camille and I planned our trip to NYC in June, our biggest reason for going was to see “Hadestown”! Camille was so thrilled to get to see the play in its short workshop run. And I was enthralled. Good choice. After we made plans to see “Hadestown”. we shopped around for other plays we
happiness project: travel (oct) + misc
Create, Project 45, and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects! In reality, they are all facets of the same project, guiding me to finish or give up old projects and move forward on the ones that are most important to me. September’s main theme was Learning. Unfortunately, I was working
going home again.
It never fails. Driving down Rockbridge, turning left onto Spring. I’m home. I felt it the very first time I found my way to Pine Lake. And I felt it on Saturday, FIVE years after moving away (even though I only lived there for four years). It is my heart’s home. I love my Pine

I do so love the beach….
TEDx Peachtree
As part of my “figuring out what comes next” project, I signed myself up to attend TEDxPeachtree. Easy to sign up, but when the time approached, I got more and more nervous. How was I going to make it through the whole day? What could I possibly have to say to strangers when we met?
