35

  1. Our wedding anniversary is tomorrow, 18 years. 
  2. I loved our wedding. I loved the venue, (a carriage house in the West Village), I loved the flowers and the music, and I loved that we spent our wedding night at The Plaza Hotel.
  3. We don't have much planned this year, (sort of like my birthday). Not in a downer way, more low-key and understated.
  4. We've invited the neighbors over for cocktails, my choice will be Moscow Mules
  5. Moscow Mules have become so popular around these parts that we have had a hard time finding a proper ginger beer as it has been sold out.
  6. If that's still the case I will use ginger ale and have Dark and Stormy's instead.
  7. A proper Dark and Stormy is also made with ginger beer, but I started this bevvie long ago with ginger ale and it tastes good to me. 
  8. Vodka + ginger ale is vodka and ginger ale, not a Moscow Mule, at least in my opinion.
  9. This appetizer looks amazing and would likely be a crowd pleaser. 
  10. This salad also looks amazing and now that I have a spiralizer, will be on our table for dinner very soon.
  11. We have very few days left of summer vacation and I will miss having no schedule. Homework, making lunches...boo.
  12. Not that I mind so much, (the lunch making), I just wish that school started a bit later. 
  13. 9-4 would be much more civilized than 8-3, especially during the teen years when sleep is imperative.
  14. I have another photography show coming up in about one month. I'm showing digital work this time, and I feel a little intimidated as I'm showing just one, big piece. 
  15. The gallery is more salon style for hanging purposes.  
  16. Since space is a premium, (both on the walls and as a viewer), I felt one large piece would be easier to see in a crowded room. 
  17. But now I'm feeling pressure, (self-imposed of course), with just one. 
  18. Will my required artist statement about the work hold up? This question gives me butterflies.
  19. Clearly the answer is: I've chosen correctly.
