Shake it, shake it, shake it like a Polaroid picture

You may have noticed there’s a different look and feel to the last two photographs I posted. That’s thanks to my new iPhone. Well, specifically, an app that I downloaded for the iPhone called ShakeItPhoto. This is the coolest app, and seeing someone else’s work with it is what really gave me the bug to want this phone. That was a few months ago, but my darling (and wise!) husband said, “Hey, aren’t there rumblings that Apple is doing a major upgrade on the new phone? Why don’t you just wait?” Granted, his reasoning was that with the new phone, I’d be able to pick up the old version for way less. We all know that doesn’t really fly, does it? We told cousins Ryan and Michelle that story and Ryan summed it up. “Dude. You know she’s not gettin’ the old phone.”

Zozo sends her love

The flower headband is from Grandpa Ray and Grandma Judy (purchased at Ballwin Days after my girlie girl spotted a table full of them and turned her big blue eyes on her grandparents and asked for one). The Hollywood sunglasses are courtesy of Grammy and Papa, who brought them back from Florida knowing Zozo would love love love them. The video was shot in the backyard of Grandma and Grandpa-who-live-behind-Zoe’s-house (yes, that’s their name…that’s what she calls them…wordy but accurate) right before we went to dinner and on a search for iPhone 4 cases. Turns out cases for the new iPhone are as hard to come by as the actual iPhone. M’s solution: put it in a sock. Because yeah, that’s protective and stylish.

Bad blogger! No cookie!

I know, I know.  I’ve been a bad blogger.  Actually living my life seems to get in the way of documenting my life.  In all of last weekend, we had approximately 30 minutes where we sat on our butt on the couch and watched part of a movie.  Other than that, we went to a wake and funeral, cleaned up the house and a car (guess which one), did laundry, mowed the grass, entertained M’s colleague from England by taking him to Forest Park and the History Museum, went to the 38 Special/Bret Michaels/Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, gathered our Christmas in June food drive items and ran them up to church, went to mass, ate at The Blue Owl in Kimmswick for the first time, and did a lot of work to put our basement back together for our guests arriving Thursday.  All good stuff, but we were tired at the end of the weekend.
