!!! and Summer Hours

June 23, 2010

I realize this post is a day early, but tomorrow is jam-packed with activity and I’ll be away from the computer pretty much all day (eek! The horror!)  So please forgive my prematurity!

The super-big !!! in my week hasn’t happened yet; true awesomeness begins Thursday and will carry on into next week. Here’s a taste of what !!! is coming up:

!!!–a six day visit from a dear friend; I’ll be picking her up Thursday afternoon.

!!!–benefitting from her expertise where my new toy is concerned:

!!!–celebrating a triple threat on Thursday–the birthdays of Mama, Dani and Ale! June 24 sure is blessed with births of amazing women!

!!!–getting ready to attend this awesome class on Monday and Tuesday. I hope to learn some new tricks.

That’s a lot of upcoming goodness, don’t you think?

Still we did have a few tidbits of early woo-hoo! this week:

!!!–realizing that this kid is almost an independent swimmer.

!!!–the Father’s Day picture Miss M. drew her daddy, where she signed her own name for the first time without help. We have mastered that pesky “r”!

!!!–watching Harryboy careen around, drunk on this stuff:

!!!–finding a treasured drawing of Miss D’s that I’d thought was lost forever.

With all of the Intentional Happiness** going on late in this week and into the next, please forgive the “summer hours” I’m going to be keeping. TKW has some skills to learn and some people to enjoy. I hope you have the same kind of !!! in your future.

Your !!! moments put a big smile on my face. I’m glad you have so much awesomeness coming your way. You deserve every moment of it!

(I love this series, by the way; why can I never seem to get my act together in order to play along? The world may never know…)

Whee! More !!! Excited for you and that new toy and the class :)

I keep telling myself, “When I have time, I will get on this !!! wagon,” but time is thumbing her nose at me. Screw it, time to get a marker and paper … or maybe Post-Its. Yes.

Why can’t MD and CO be closer so that I could do fun things like the food and light class? Know who else has a 6.24 b’day? That would be me.

Enjoy your visit with Phoo-D.

OK, how cool would it be to be a food photographer??? That’s right up there with a food critic, a dream job indeed.

Great !!!, Kitch!

That is some great goodness going on!!! Good for you, kitch. I have that same camera and a few classes came with the purchase. That was 2 Christmases ago. Still have not found the time to take the classes. Sigh. Your class sounds oh so awesome. I am jealous over here. Have a great time and report back to us!

Oh, TKW…your third daughter is just gorgeous. She has the most beautiful lens. And you’re getting a class AND a friend to teach you how to parent her correctly? So very !!!

Be good to her. Something tells me she’ll be easy to live with, and will fill your life with instant, one-sided gratification.

I saw this the other day before I got sucked into a 4-hour long meeting offsite. I meant to say how goreous your independent swimmer is and how I can’t wait to see pictures of your concoctions with the new camera.

Thanks for for sharing your !!! and making me smile.

Catnip! I love watching cats high on that stuff. Growing up we had lots of cats and would grow catnip outside for them. If we didn’t put cages around the catnip, the poor plants would never survive.

Can’t wait to see how your fantastic pictures improve with the new camera and awesome class you are taking. Have fun and learn lots.

Maria June 25, 2010 at 3:51 pm

That is one sweet looking camera, and lessons to boot? That is some serious !!!, friend.

Independent swimmers rock, don’t they? And that self portrait is too much !!!

Enjoy your weekend, unplugged, Kitch!

I’m trying to be nice. I’m struggling. A new camera AND a visit from Phoo-D royalty? I’m jealous. No, I’m not. Yes, I am. OK, I’m not, but I expect some dynamic blow-by-blows from you two on your adventures. That is, if you can post it without getting into too much trouble.
