I'm in Love....

So I'm sure you already knew that, but I love these pictures. I have an obsession of sorts with beautiful photography, it just makes me happy!  These pics were taken by the talented seattle photographer, Desiree Swanson, see her work here: www.desireeswansonphotography.com
She is a friend of my sister-in-laws, who consequently now has beautiful pics of her girls all the time, and came blueberry picking with us when we were in Issaquah, she brings her camera just about everywhere and paused to take these pics of my girls. LOVE IT!!!

Augh, Augh, Augh,

Okay, So who knows how to spell it to give it the right sound, but when you read the title of this post, just picture Tim Allen from the old show Home Improvement, and you'll get what I was going for.  I have to say, I now understand that male sound, and felt like making it myself when I did this........
Yes, that is a picture of my garbage disposal. It broke and I, yes me, fixed it. I flipped the switch the other morning and there was no sound, nothing but silence, not a good sign for a machine that supposed to sound like a monster. Hmmm, visions of horrifying plumbers cracks glaring out from under my sink and a bill that could really put a dent in the monthly budget sent me to the internet, my saving grace!!! I found this link http://www.ehow.com/video_112319_fix-jammed-garbage.html where a cute woman (easier to look at than the plumber I had envisioned) demonstrated how to fix my disposal.  Feeling empowered I went downstairs found my tools and went to work. 5 minutes later.... a fixed disposal, and great satisfaction that has me saying I did it..... argh, argh, aurgh, well you get it!!!
