Picks + Passes

One of my favorite photographers, Jasmine Star, has inspired me to start adding a more personal touch to my blog as she does. Jasmine has a weekly "Kisses + Disses" post where she lists things she likes and dislikes. After seeing hers I thought, "Wow, what a great way to incorporate more me into my blog!" So, to put a little spin on it and add my own touch I present this week's "Picks + Passes"...


PICKS :

•  Lipton's Orange, Passion Fruit and Jasmine green tea.  I prefer it hot, with a dash (well, that's being modest) of honey. YUM. This is an every night occurrence. Speaking of which... it's about that time. White Mangosteen & Peach is good too!
• An heirloom: My grandmother's vintage diamond cluster ring. After years of loathing over it, my Nanny finally decided I was old enough to have it. I wear it every single day. You can somewhat see the ring in the photo of me at the bottom of this blog.
• Ariston's Wallabees (shoes). I love miniature sized adult items for kids. They are so darn cute! The picture below proves it. Mom and Dad have matching pairs ;) We try to schedule around one another.
• I jumped on the bandwagon- I'm a GLEEKer. It's undeniable.
• Photographing little girls like this one, and this one. I just love them so!
• My new black skinny jeans from 7 For All Mankind. I sneakingly wear them to work because they almost look like dress pants, but they aren't. I'm such a rule breaker, and no one even knows it. Shhh. 
• Scented sachets. What's that you might ask. You can usually find them at little old ladies' houses. Or mine. It's those little paper envelope baggy things that have smell good stuff inside. I currently have a Christmas scented one out. Now, the house not only looks like Christmas but smells like it too. It makes me happy. 

PASSES :

• Getting tickets. Notice ticket is used in plural tense. And no, I'm not talking about concert tickets. I'm talking about speeding and traffic signal tickets. Obtaining 2 tickets in one month that are both complete and total malarkey would be on anyones list. ARG. They make me type growling words. I'm fighting both!
• Not that you'd want to, but I do NOT recommend buying the Verizon Voyager. I've had the phone a little over a year and it died today. The touch screen stopped working a while back and it won't even charge anymore. At least this leads to something newer and better.
• Mercer Law School, will you give me my husband back now? Thanks.   -I'm predicting this will move to the Picks list in a year in a half. 
• People who pull out in front of me when there isn't a single car behind me. Really? You can't wait one millionth of a millisecond longer until I pass? Yeah, I didn't think so. Stupid. (Is it obvious I spend a lot of time on the road- most of my frustrations in life are commute associated.)
• Curry. I think it's one of the only edible things I really don't have a tolerance for. YUCK.

(I end noting I publish this post while finishing up my hot green tea. Ahhh. Life is good)
