Even though I totally could've taken one.<br /><br />It all started a few weeks ago when The Oldest was having a friend over. The friend was going to be here for dinner, and being the cool Mom that I am, I decided we'd have pizza for dinner. (Because it's one of the few things I can make myself, and Hot Husband had to work late that evening.) So I dragged the kids out to the grocery store to pick up the stuff we needed, and I happened to see that Doritos were on sale. 3 for $10. Nothing goes with pizza like Doritos, so we picked out 3 bags. And some Pepsi.<br /><br />About a week later we were looking for football munchies, and I remembered there were still 2 bags of Doritos left in the butler's pantry, so I went and grabbed one. We'd been munching for more than a few minutes when I realized that something had chewed through the bag. Further investigation revealed that the other bag had been chewed through as well. I couldn't decide if I was more angry that I'd been eating out of one of the bags, or that I had to throw away almost $7 worth of my favorite chips. I was <span style="font-style: italic;">not</span> a happy camper.<br /><br />I kid you not, the very next morning I headed into the guest bath and found a dead mouse floating in the toilet! True story. I can't make this stuff up, people! I have no idea how it could've gotten in there, but I was happy to let him know that <span style="font-style: italic;">what goes around, comes around</span>. The whole thing's kind of a mystery. If he could get himself <span style="font-style: italic;">into</span> the toilet, why couldn't he get himself <span style="font-style: italic;">out</span>? Why was he in there in the first place? Was he thirsty after eating all of our chips? Did he just want to go for a swim?<br /><br />The incident was mostly forgotten about until yesterday. I was in the kitchen when Hot Husband went out to the garage to put away empty bottles and can's that need to be returned. I heard "Hon, come and see this." There, lying belly-up in the midst of a bunch of Pepsi cans, was another dead mouse. Once again, I've refrained from taking a picture, lest my reader's start to think I'm some sort of freak. I'm not, but I can tell you it's one of the most hilarious sights I've ever seen. He looks so peaceful, like he's just thankful he had a drink of Pepsi before it was his time to go.<br /><br />It doesn't solve the bigger question, though. Why are our mice suicidal?Lisa Walshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02912709105805379353noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107826338087813529.post-85498434555382505622008-12-06T11:24:00.016-05:002008-12-06T11:57:52.503-05:00Jennifer & JohnWhile most people were dealing with crowds and long lines on Black Friday, I had the pleasure of assisting my Photographer friend <a href="http://sarahpostma.com/blog/?p=252" target="_blank">Sarah</a> at Jennifer and John's wedding in Freehold, N.J.

I mentioned in a recent post that I'd realized months worth of pictures weren't showing up on my blog, and I'd come to the conclusion that the internet had it out for me. I guess we've still got beef, because sometime on either Thanksgiving or Black Friday my blog was hacked. Stupid Hackers.<br /><br />So this morning I had an emergency meeting with myself, and I've created an IT position if anyone would like to apply. I'd be happy to pay you in coffee beans.<br /><br />Can I just say right now THANK GOD FOR BLOGGER!!! I mean, I keep breaking up with it, and yet it takes me back every time. So I'll be posting here yet again until I hire someone to un-hack my hacked Wordpress blog. I simply don't have time for this right now.<br /><br />In other recent news, I'd like to say Happy Belated Thanksgiving. (My Happy Thanksgiving post was on my Wordpress blog. Did I mention that one was hacked?) Anyway, we're thankful that we still had a house to come home to. Getting a phone call from ADT while you're away for Thanksgiving, telling you that the smoke detector is going off in your attic and they've sent the Fire Department over, is not how I'd like to spend future Thanksgiving's. We're (obviously) also thankful for the Fire Department, and Hot Husband had fun meeting them last night when they were here again around dinner time. (I guess I should add that nothing was on fire either time.) It seems the attic smoke detector is working a little overtime this season. I hope you all had a less eventful holiday!Lisa Walshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02912709105805379353noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107826338087813529.post-17207226779209012822008-10-25T10:11:00.017-05:002008-10-26T09:54:13.810-05:00NYC Boat TourMy clients can affirm that when they purchase their images from me on DVD, I let them know that the best place for them to print the images is <a href="http://mpix.com/">Mpix</a>. Mpix is a division of Millers (a pro lab) that is designed to serve consumers. Their products are top-notch, the turnaround is super-quick, and the customer service is wonderful. Even better is that, since the images on the DVD are already color corrected, my client's can upload images to Mpix and get small sized prints for only $0.19. I've invested tons of time and money into my photography, and I want my images to look their absolute best. My reputation is on the line every time those prints are shown to friends and family, and I simply don't want my client's local 1 hour labs in charge of my reputation.<br /><br />Yesterday, compliments of Mpix, I was one of 60 very lucky photographer's who were given VIP passes to go on a NYC boat tour.<br /><br />The trip started Thursday night, as we'd realized earlier in the week that the boys didn't have school that day and Hot Husband was going to have to take the day off to keep them occupied. So Thursday afternoon we made the 3 hour drive to his sister's house, who lives about an hour outside of the city.<br /><br />Friday morning we were up at 4 am to prepare for our drive. Although it was about an hour to Sarah's house in N.J. (Sarah is another photographer I met online, who was going on the tour and graciously offered to be our tour guide), we were concerned about traffic, getting lost, and whether or not we'd have time for my customary trip to Dunkin' Donuts for coffee. Hot Husband and I decided it was better to be safe than sorry, so we left my Sister-In-Law's house around 5:15 PC. (Pre-Coffee).<br /><br />I was certain there would be an opportunity for coffee in the near future, but it didn't present itself until we met Sarah in N.J. After breaking every traffic law in the books between 5 and 6:30 am, we finally arrived at her house safe and sound, with enough time to stop at the Dunkin' Donuts down the block from her and still catch the train.<br /><br />Since Hot Husband, The Oldest and The Youngest are not photographers, their plan was to ride the train with us and then head over to the Central Park Zoo. The Youngest made the best of every moment he had with Sarah, though, and by the time we left her I'd nicknamed her "Aunt Sarah." We may be naming her as his guardian if anything should happen to Hot Husband and I.<br /><br />The boat tour was amazing. I got to meet and hang out with a handful of photographer's I've met online, as well as a couple of the Mpix guys and <a href="http://www.ricksammon.com/Home.html">Rick Sammon</a>. Sarah, I want to thank you for being such a wonderful tour guide, a great "Aunt" to The Youngest, and for letting me play with your iPhone. I can't wait to hang out with you again!

So although it's been a little less than a year since we met, I feel like I've known them forever, and it seemed like their wedding day would <span style="font-style: italic;">never</span> get here.<br /><br />Now I can't believe it's come and gone.<br /><br />Thelma & I met Lindsay and the girls bright and early at New Wave Salon in Endicott for some pictures of them getting their hair done, and then headed over to <a href="http://www.traditionsresort.com/?_oskwdid=4426883">Traditions</a> so Lindsay could get her makeup done and the girls could get dressed upstairs. Thelma and I had the pleasure of riding with the bridal party in the <a href="http://www.superiorlimos.com/main1.htm">Limo bus</a> on the way to the ceremony at the beautiful St. Ambrose in Endicott, and back to the reception at Traditions.<br /><br />It was evident from the moment I met her that Lindsay has impeccable taste, and it was reflected in the details she made, the venue she chose, and the vendors she selected. Entertainment was provided by Brotherhood, the bouquets were arranged by Scot MacLennan, and <a href="http://www.purpleawningpastries.com/">Purple Awning Pastries</a> made the gorgeous cake. The venue itself was simply amazing, and I look forward to working there again.<br /><br />I can't say enough about how awesome Lindsay, Pat and their families and friends are. Everyone was so much fun to be around that it was almost impossible not to have a smile on your face, and they had one of the most friendly and cooperative bridal parties I've ever met.

It's been awesome getting to know you both over the last 11 months, and I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness. I can't wait to see what comes next for the two of you! Have fun on your honeymoon, and I'll talk to you when you get back.<br /><br />And thank you both, again, for that beautiful <a href="http://www.coach.com/default.aspx">Coach</a> bag!<br /><br />P.S. I'm posting this at the bottom so I don't move their post farther down the page! Lindsay & Pat's gallery images will be up Thursday evening 10/23, so that they can view them before they leave on their honeymoon. You can see them by going to my website and clicking "Clients". I'll let Lindsay send you all the password. The $4.99 digital download sale is in effect until 11/15.

That's a good thing, but I haven't yet transferred the new blog to it's new domain. So, since I didn't want a link that didn't go anywhere, and since Lindsay & Pat's wedding is tomorrow and will require a blog post next week, probably before I figure out how to move it properly, I thought this one could get some playing time. As soon as I get the other blog moved and working properly, I can just import my posts and it'll be like it never happened!

At some point <a href="http://lisa-walsh.blogspot.com/2007/09/best-weekend-ever.html" target="_blank">Thelma</a> heard the distant sound of a feline in distress, and the next thing you know the four of us were traipsing around the Country Club with flashlights, trying to locate it.<br /><br />Meet Friday. (Who knew it was actually Saturday when Thelma captured her, lol.)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYqa4QWrsGPgqQTJzJHWVkfdgooySzFvJ7gTyqTA5VRtr0EWBYDUxcTATzx-nnx84vuSCX8M8hxXsGR6YCZD912WgF2FwAB__PVMLlA-xZQSDwTyz0ph7waSj0GztkQqHXqZa3YcPY7eoX/s1600-h/IMG_6315db.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYqa4QWrsGPgqQTJzJHWVkfdgooySzFvJ7gTyqTA5VRtr0EWBYDUxcTATzx-nnx84vuSCX8M8hxXsGR6YCZD912WgF2FwAB__PVMLlA-xZQSDwTyz0ph7waSj0GztkQqHXqZa3YcPY7eoX/s800/IMG_6315db.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228045620327830898" border="0" /></a><br />After much discussion about her fate, (The Husband and I are both very allergic to cats) we decided she could hang around outside as long as she'd like, and we'll look after her. Providing, of course, that it was OK with her.<br /><br />Because she was just a baby, seemingly dropped off by the side of the road, she was a bit skittish. (And quite hungry, it turns out.) This was a familiar site for the first couple of days, as she was so scared she hid underneath the deck. (Please excuse the state of the deck, it's a project that hasn't been started yet.) <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijJBi-ZOYihIm3bCstwGpVhmKEhjFGk2qZZohpzlEwImM0J_NCLXcpYIaWvBr36FWeDfDO8WoFCtWVLtFJcckz6cTgH6KgRg-PuPXi68zlm2O2q299L5OvWLDkHSXV5dGzRGsAhporJNYx/s1600-h/IMG_6348db.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijJBi-ZOYihIm3bCstwGpVhmKEhjFGk2qZZohpzlEwImM0J_NCLXcpYIaWvBr36FWeDfDO8WoFCtWVLtFJcckz6cTgH6KgRg-PuPXi68zlm2O2q299L5OvWLDkHSXV5dGzRGsAhporJNYx/s800/IMG_6348db.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228047266665476882" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I explained to The Youngest that it would take some time for her to trust us, and that he just had to be patient.

When I asked her if she realized I was located in NY she said she did, and that she had contacted Photographer's locally who told her they weren't interested in training their competition.<br /><br />That mentality always makes me sad because I firmly believe there is enough business for all of us. On Saturday I had another opportunity to shoot with <a href="http://www.frankdimeo.com/" target="_blank">Frank DiMeo</a>, an amazing Photographer who shares that same philosophy. Frank has a reputation for paying it forward and helping other Photographer's succeed, regardless of where they're located. The knowledge you come away with when you have the opportunity to 2nd shoot with him is priceless.<br /><br />It was my pleasure to meet Kris Kellogg and Julie Stone. Julie owns <a href="http://www.stonesalon.com/" target="_blank">Julie A. Stone Salon</a> in Ithaca, and Kris and her sisters did the makeup for Ariel and her Bridesmaids, along with Ariel and Adam's mothers.<br /><br />I can't begin to tell you how wonderful the entire day was. Ariel, Adam and their families welcomed me into their special day as if they'd known me forever. Their joy was abundant, and you could feel the love all around you.<br /><br />Ariel and Adam are both Cornell alumni and chose to have their ceremony at <a href="http://www.dos.cornell.edu/dos/straight/" target="_blank">Willard Straight Hall</a> and the reception at the <a href="http://www.statlerhotel.cornell.edu/" target="_blank">Statler</a>. Their day was meticulously planned out by <a href="http://www.terra-rosa.com/" target="_blank">Tara Reimer</a> and everything came off without a hitch.<br /><br />I want to thank Ariel and Adam for letting me be a part of their special day, and thank you to Frank for the experience and the invitation!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgkfrI7FC9X6acopLUztmuGnTQUWNZ9JA_m1abwVGr06eypWEaY-V1cD3jkLZ4T6qyg78mTkrznu3CdIJ81nr_dK9T4BJpKLJIRkrBfrtKOLP0kRtrkMTPZBXmQ2BI2sGIRRR5E2V2jRfg/s1600-h/IMG_6412db.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I've been her personal photographer since she was 6 months old. It's amazing to watch a child grow up and develop a personality, especially when it's directed at the camera. From the moment I took the first image, she was "on".<br /><br />The Youngest has nicknamed her "Rosebud", I think after some movie they watched together. The name has stuck and when I thought about it on the way home from her session (we did it on location at their house) I decided it couldn't be more fitting. She's such a beautiful girl, inside and out, and so incredibly sweet. How could we NOT call her Rosebud?<br /><br />I absolutely adore these pictures. Thelma, I think our little Rosebud is becoming quite the model!Lisa Walshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02912709105805379353noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107826338087813529.post-41939313624784127232008-07-07T12:19:00.003-05:002008-12-10T00:02:09.687-05:00Images From The 4thI think if I was stranded on a deserted island and could only have one lens with me, it would be my macro. I love that I can get so close to my subject, and yet get longer focal lengths as well. All of these were taken in Watkins Glenn on the 4th. (You weren't expecting pictures of fireworks, were you? You know I like to do the unexpected!)<br /><br />This little guy was hanging out on our picnic table when we got back from our hike.

I was really excited because this is the first time I'd had the chance to do one outside of my stomping grounds. Hot Husband was born in Brooklyn and went to High School not far from where we met up with Joy & Dustin, so it's nothing really new for him. I, on the other hand, had never been to the city until we met, and I relish every chance we get to visit. I could wander around for days doing nothing but people watching, lol.<br /><br />Since it was on their turf, I told Joy & Dustin the location of the session was completely up to them, and they chose Central Park. We had no real plan other than walking around and stopping whenever the mood struck, and it gave me lots of time to chat and get to know them. I'm pretty sure I wore them out...we were going to hop over to Rockefeller Center for a few since Dustin used to work for NBC...but we never made it there.<br /><br />The weather was hot and sticky, made worse by the fact that our first train into the city was late...causing a domino effect of subsequent missed trains and delaying our session time by an hour. Joy & Dustin were troopers, though, completely understanding mass transit woes and braving the hot sun whenever the location called for it.<br /><br />We had a great time hanging out with both of you, and we hope you had as much fun as we did! <br /><br />As always, here are a few of my favorites!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvSZVniZYxj3spNn7FsfAcsrKZUtS-tiKC94-M68j_5NbDWcmeddTr7aNeKLGxQZbEDxLJ3sSzkPa3famR-tyCnzrE2Ye9qzoCbSeYRrV1PXJQicFWrTqIgt2eTXgSHNv7ORiWvF6U73O/s1600-h/IMG_6013db.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvSZVniZYxj3spNn7FsfAcsrKZUtS-tiKC94-M68j_5NbDWcmeddTr7aNeKLGxQZbEDxLJ3sSzkPa3famR-tyCnzrE2Ye9qzoCbSeYRrV1PXJQicFWrTqIgt2eTXgSHNv7ORiWvF6U73O/s800/IMG_6013db.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218150664788460578" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />A happy accident.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTgchERTAo_kszW88bwmks78S-p-bxXmRpBqeNKq9f7PiAT7F_NxYNwTsJ9C8HVATWk0kAKYrJ4zEez1s7OuR2r8RT_HWXGJIqBaZd2H4hySMP4_diCWDqblD5LSSfJ2k9E3TDEwRApOHZ/s1600-h/IMG_5831db.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTgchERTAo_kszW88bwmks78S-p-bxXmRpBqeNKq9f7PiAT7F_NxYNwTsJ9C8HVATWk0kAKYrJ4zEez1s7OuR2r8RT_HWXGJIqBaZd2H4hySMP4_diCWDqblD5LSSfJ2k9E3TDEwRApOHZ/s800/IMG_5831db.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218150655248520802" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This one is Hot Husband's creation.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj00aPe-Ux-F2sOp56PbPe2PrcXNJQG2nWEvLfOfUGn5wmXGbGPcKf4azfVp-QmrPhoWcrves5y7ym1o_tLgftQirARx0m1rxpTydnX6lWB9W20vD0mideGJrbTIKQDJgWU3kc3Tr4KCoi4/s1600-h/D6CS6016db.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj00aPe-Ux-F2sOp56PbPe2PrcXNJQG2nWEvLfOfUGn5wmXGbGPcKf4azfVp-QmrPhoWcrves5y7ym1o_tLgftQirARx0m1rxpTydnX6lWB9W20vD0mideGJrbTIKQDJgWU3kc3Tr4KCoi4/s800/D6CS6016db.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218150651393148594" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrr-h4tuuiJQbUgqxRWB-bni-uDvdYFD-cGihVJbTfQqXvkuzhClQUpsUErNUwSE_cKrlLcb8m3vod-ojK8qoW1lAuObP_Hj4rd3xJS4H84uTDuhDUTc3kROtsr-SM_fRxpe3NoTsFNLds/s1600-h/IMG_5996db.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrr-h4tuuiJQbUgqxRWB-bni-uDvdYFD-cGihVJbTfQqXvkuzhClQUpsUErNUwSE_cKrlLcb8m3vod-ojK8qoW1lAuObP_Hj4rd3xJS4H84uTDuhDUTc3kROtsr-SM_fRxpe3NoTsFNLds/s800/IMG_5996db.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218151231516738290" border="0" /></a>Lisa Walshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02912709105805379353noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107826338087813529.post-25256701236851531562008-06-28T08:36:00.001-05:002008-12-10T00:02:10.570-05:00I Do!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Cyw95Dad5p3ituxBEJouf80RpbyIDtV5Y83aoIPdxmVhMwf_Z8MX_GK9bL0mX8K-tY253I7iS-izp-O0CoZfUj78mvxR1J1bBYo8_egHlgS0_xtdEX-Kyd8EaLMoxQkUCk_csL3SHWkf/s1600-h/IMG_5713-Editb.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Cyw95Dad5p3ituxBEJouf80RpbyIDtV5Y83aoIPdxmVhMwf_Z8MX_GK9bL0mX8K-tY253I7iS-izp-O0CoZfUj78mvxR1J1bBYo8_egHlgS0_xtdEX-Kyd8EaLMoxQkUCk_csL3SHWkf/s800/IMG_5713-Editb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216926114339396594" border="0" /></a>Lisa Walshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02912709105805379353noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107826338087813529.post-86336577842588121022008-06-27T07:27:00.002-05:002008-06-27T07:27:59.232-05:00Happy Weddingversary!Honey, it's been the best 7 years of my life, and I wouldn't change a thing.

I wore a white bikini, and Hot Husband wore a white shirt and his swimming trunks, lol. (It seemed like a good idea at the time.)(Thank God our photographer shot film and I don't have a scanner, or I'd feel obligated to post a picture, lol.)<br /><br />Anyway, we'd always planned to renew our vows in front of friends and family, but we lost Hot Husband's parents within 18 months of our wedding, and for a while I don't think we <span style="font-style: italic;">wanted</span> to do it without them there. We also couldn't make any decisions as far as planning went...we never wanted it to be a "big" thing, but I did feel that I wanted to wear a dress this time. That brought up more questions...should Hot Husband wear a tux? Should the boys? Should we have a cake? Where will this all take place? How many people do we invite? Who will take pictures?<br /><br />Rather than answer all of those questions, we've kept putting it off. That is, until, we bought the Charger.<br /><br />See, when we returned from Jamaica I tried to get a new driver's license, but they wouldn't accept our Jamaican marriage certificate as a form of ID. I was able to change my social security card, and with that purchase 3 houses, file tax returns, open bank accounts, etc., but my driver's license still does not say Lisa Walsh. Now the DMV is on my case and won't let me register the car in my married name. After 7 years I'm finally tired of it, so yesterday Hot Husband and I went down to the courthouse and got a home-grown, USA marriage license.<br /><br />Tomorrow, on our 7 year anniversary, I will marry Hot Husband all over again. It's going to be slightly bigger than our last ceremony, but it will just be the boys and Thelma's family in attendance. Her father is a minister and will be performing the ceremony in her Mother's garden. I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to wear...Thelma and I are going shopping tonight.<br /><br />I don't have a photographer on such short notice, so I'm going to do the best I can. I'll be sure to post up pictures as soon as I can!Lisa Walshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02912709105805379353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107826338087813529.post-85377743388341809132008-06-17T08:57:00.003-05:002008-12-10T00:02:11.212-05:00The Glenn<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid0TZEaeeKG_Wo_GHoYsduviIyTnHbl3PjewTB-8dPOMVtWAzNH4ZIbdyXao21xwrWN2YJo68HfokTUPh1QHXguy_amC66zpEOCMyFSXZEGLtXw3zl8utGze-BncqegcdqhQma7LTuA9Ig/s1600-h/Watkins+Glenn++2db.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid0TZEaeeKG_Wo_GHoYsduviIyTnHbl3PjewTB-8dPOMVtWAzNH4ZIbdyXao21xwrWN2YJo68HfokTUPh1QHXguy_amC66zpEOCMyFSXZEGLtXw3zl8utGze-BncqegcdqhQma7LTuA9Ig/s800/Watkins+Glenn++2db.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212854760386207890" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH94tInuXDw-RQuUylfnkeBkgmIXFYAJ-440pT2nbQJCfhW5X90ZUcQosHDDwY0ga7BM1Gch0GWPdZb4hDDtJ4u_O2YbxRdNPaW4HE17yYLt6WuFMYjHk7rz1vNutZxmNNevUyRHMkbIcs/s1600-h/Watkins+Glenn+5db.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH94tInuXDw-RQuUylfnkeBkgmIXFYAJ-440pT2nbQJCfhW5X90ZUcQosHDDwY0ga7BM1Gch0GWPdZb4hDDtJ4u_O2YbxRdNPaW4HE17yYLt6WuFMYjHk7rz1vNutZxmNNevUyRHMkbIcs/s800/Watkins+Glenn+5db.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212854761026764578" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg6cjvGgPFwRXyvMQhvramBfX-_iE37SU5S6hhLaad1YSSBnrXky0WL4gb9nJh2jk6QG0cUTCrHrMvPlL5JVgzwBV_9fKhEe43sY7G4MLo1zMvwea3TNWMWEcQvbBbBYay537e9u732uLv/s1600-h/Watkins+Glenn+db.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg6cjvGgPFwRXyvMQhvramBfX-_iE37SU5S6hhLaad1YSSBnrXky0WL4gb9nJh2jk6QG0cUTCrHrMvPlL5JVgzwBV_9fKhEe43sY7G4MLo1zMvwea3TNWMWEcQvbBbBYay537e9u732uLv/s800/Watkins+Glenn+db.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212854766226889954" border="0" /></a><br />Hot Husband had a list of things he wanted to do for Father's Day, and it included sleeping in, having a yummy breakfast, going hiking/fishing/canoing, a possible nap, and a yummy dinner. So while he was sleeping in Sunday morning, The Youngest and I decided we were going to take him to <a href="http://nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/info.asp?parkID=105">Watkins Glenn State Park</a> for a hike.<br /><br />We woke him up at 8 am so we could head out (Sleeping in. Check.) and we stopped at Dunkin' Donuts along the way. (Yummy breakfast. Check.)<br /><br />The Youngest hadn't been to the Glenn before, and Hot Husband and I realized we hadn't been there since before we got married, which also means I hadn't shot there before.<br /><br />I didn't expect to get anything spectacular since it's always so crowded, and I don't have some tools I need for landscape shots with mixed lighting conditions, but I did the best I could and ended up with a few keepers. I can't wait to go back in the evening when I can get some silky waterfall pictures!<br /><br />Hot Husband had prepped some short ribs the night before, so I threw them in the oven when we got home, whipped up some mashed potatoes and baked beans, and opened up the last bottle of beer for him. (Yummy dinner. Check.)<br /><br />He never did get his nap, but all in all I think it was a great Father's Day.Lisa Walshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02912709105805379353noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107826338087813529.post-75627823503676610762008-06-16T12:25:00.004-05:002008-12-10T00:02:11.675-05:00A Blustery DayThe weather man has warned us that we may incur some damaging winds this afternoon, which doesn't seem too out-of-the-ordinary lately. It also seems to be par for the course in <a href="http://lisa-walsh.blogspot.com/2007/06/storm.html" target="_blank">June</a>. (Get it?) Last Tuesday we had a huge storm while I was working at the gym (which I missed, because the gym is in the building's basement).<br /><br />So you can imagine my surprise when I returned home to see this. That's our 12x10 (or so) gazebo in the pool. See those chairs? They normally sit in front of a bar. You can see the glass top of said bar on the concrete in front of the chairs.<br /><br />I'll give you one guess as to where the bar itself was.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie22wVwcSQLv44HLT3MtBcI_CO12IlQyDpgv18JJq4rw5mNP8Nk8sK47xRANIRP_byOELAXpq5x0TS7XbUIcOK6-6y7pL0TKHBQkMuFwQDSMFgTnXW4xMWZqKbYWHLldq59poq1vx_NgHc/s1600-h/IMG_5461db.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie22wVwcSQLv44HLT3MtBcI_CO12IlQyDpgv18JJq4rw5mNP8Nk8sK47xRANIRP_byOELAXpq5x0TS7XbUIcOK6-6y7pL0TKHBQkMuFwQDSMFgTnXW4xMWZqKbYWHLldq59poq1vx_NgHc/s800/IMG_5461db.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212532003820252226" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFUG142yWlwQsYOjQ_9yazTDF7FoC311gyXvZ1a1suL6SDIKrU3EuuT9f6EgKYeuk3fB7I4H8jS01LxFpuM7cKEbNrLySuKmMULEkelg33JwyMMVeaNxZvaDtIZc6L-wTNMpTSfQGjF0Fj/s1600-h/IMG_5466db.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFUG142yWlwQsYOjQ_9yazTDF7FoC311gyXvZ1a1suL6SDIKrU3EuuT9f6EgKYeuk3fB7I4H8jS01LxFpuM7cKEbNrLySuKmMULEkelg33JwyMMVeaNxZvaDtIZc6L-wTNMpTSfQGjF0Fj/s800/IMG_5466db.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212532006631366306" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Of course, this was also the day my peony's started to open, lol.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxsnmrMfhDkTtqEoRXzvG4SW3xKOVkH4g5JRj1ia31iq4oFbOQTgAB_kMS3Pc3eygxYsb-MVBPWlL8ZKNkW_BrWjNO6zokfAhyS6QrvSpFQI_w3LUYv5_-MxriDfoNxSNnHLaMLOTGKYL7/s1600-h/IMG_5469db.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxsnmrMfhDkTtqEoRXzvG4SW3xKOVkH4g5JRj1ia31iq4oFbOQTgAB_kMS3Pc3eygxYsb-MVBPWlL8ZKNkW_BrWjNO6zokfAhyS6QrvSpFQI_w3LUYv5_-MxriDfoNxSNnHLaMLOTGKYL7/s800/IMG_5469db.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212532011827418674" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Please pardon the awful state of our yard, I had no intention of showing it to the world until we had it cleaned up!Lisa Walshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02912709105805379353noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107826338087813529.post-14040598372685592932008-06-14T18:37:00.003-05:002008-12-10T00:02:11.863-05:00Yum!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNYqJnMnyC5bKrsj-epsjE3uW4wfXjwcThfjqW8pQZvjSjjfpOoctKEwbGHBLPl7WrP1UM6kJqEkVLsocfM1wbsT7GtiGUoebMWb6yiLwv8r81NEznfQWsIxpA_itwgSA5TZU-7TmYs7Cj/s1600-h/IMG_5442b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNYqJnMnyC5bKrsj-epsjE3uW4wfXjwcThfjqW8pQZvjSjjfpOoctKEwbGHBLPl7WrP1UM6kJqEkVLsocfM1wbsT7GtiGUoebMWb6yiLwv8r81NEznfQWsIxpA_itwgSA5TZU-7TmYs7Cj/s800/IMG_5442b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211885532750871714" border="0" /></a><br />Even though my weight-loss challenges are done, I've still been trying to get in shape. One of my friends and personal trainers, Marissa, asked me if I wanted to join her when she works out with Ozzy, another personal trainer at the gym. With our hectic schedules we're only able to work out together on Tuesdays.<br /><br />It's been 3 or 4 weeks, and it's been an eye-opening experience! I had him do my body fat percentage the first week, (it's lower than I thought) which explained why I was having such a hard time getting to my goal weight. It's really helped me re-evaluate my priorities and decide what's more important...achieving a specific weight or just plain looking good. (It's also taught me that doing jumping jacks for 2 minutes straight is rough, lol!)<br /><br />Anyway, Ozzy recommended these homemade fruit parfaits to me one week when I was hungry, and I've been hooked on them ever since. They're soooo yummy and good for you! (Plus they look decadent in the huge glasses Thelma bought me last year.) :)<br /><br />All you need to make one is low fat vanilla yogurt, berries of your choice (I think blueberry is my favorite), and some crunchy healthy cereal. Layer the yogurt and the berries, and sprinkle some cereal on top. (I use Kashi.) That's it, and you have a low fat, chock full of protein, sweet and crunchy meal that will fill you up for hours!<br /><br />Enjoy!Lisa Walshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02912709105805379353noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107826338087813529.post-86461460982866207482008-06-12T12:56:00.006-05:002008-12-10T00:02:13.846-05:00Jillian & Nate's E-SessionJillian and Nate are getting married on August 2nd, and will be kicking off my (much anticipated) wedding season. Last night we finally had a chance to get together for their engagement session. Ithaca is a great place for a session...there's no shortage of waterfalls, gorges, and parks. It's also home to numerous artists, and we decided to make use of many of the interesting murals that are painted on walls all over the city.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTQDRUsgX5XOP_adoBaTERio2W-F49qCoPY3iqwiSLmjEINoMNdPFVwFJ6fjRKS6oj26VCtkVqnFd7XqpBO8hOuZXSo-i38PvnGn1dC2MJMjTl-qtsjzlDhZtv8OFZzq7nQWTirYmmWnO3/s1600-h/Jillian+%26+Nate-4db.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTQDRUsgX5XOP_adoBaTERio2W-F49qCoPY3iqwiSLmjEINoMNdPFVwFJ6fjRKS6oj26VCtkVqnFd7XqpBO8hOuZXSo-i38PvnGn1dC2MJMjTl-qtsjzlDhZtv8OFZzq7nQWTirYmmWnO3/s800/Jillian+%26+Nate-4db.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211057153617781074" border="0" /></a><br />Nate suggested we head over to the inlet, and when we got there we found a beautiful pool of light.

I had the pleasure of meeting him and letting him know how much it meant to us that he was there for our child when I came to help serve refreshments after the performance. <br /><br />Thank you Mr. Manyano for being The Youngest's Grandparent that day!Lisa Walshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02912709105805379353noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107826338087813529.post-11683884657696211262008-06-10T07:18:00.002-05:002008-12-10T00:02:15.051-05:00It's A Charger<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvSoL6Z_5b81PxRh8dUhprgHReXaVcNvcZ14-f94lgrsGeV9NHPusbtq5B-2wyX42pepZ3g2xYiUdsT8ScRhiybBsJyrI3AcW23sTAby56OHHS-CTSWn4WtbxOWHPWPLxwVT0mS9zZ-FPV/s1600-h/IMG_5459_1b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvSoL6Z_5b81PxRh8dUhprgHReXaVcNvcZ14-f94lgrsGeV9NHPusbtq5B-2wyX42pepZ3g2xYiUdsT8ScRhiybBsJyrI3AcW23sTAby56OHHS-CTSWn4WtbxOWHPWPLxwVT0mS9zZ-FPV/s800/IMG_5459_1b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210227339511702450" border="0" /></a><br />It was brought to my attention that I'd never mentioned the model of my new ride for those "non-car" people reading my blog, lol. I guess I was so excited I figured everyone would know what it was.<br /><br />Anyway, the votes have been counted and it appears The Husband has named the new ride "Halle". Honey, I promise I won't steal your gift card and use it to buy myself coffee!<br /><br />Thanks again to all who participated, and I promise the contest wasn't rigged!Lisa Walshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02912709105805379353noreply@blogger.com0
