Dolce Technica

of work - not counting today. I took this picture this morning when I arrived at work: I really like how the sun turned out.  I shot this with my 50 mm f/1.8 lens, using a technique I learned from the manual of setting the exposure when I wasn't...

AKA reading the manual. I panicked for a moment - actually make that several moments - because I couldn't and still can't find my manual. I've always kept it in my camera bag, but when I looked this afternoon, it wasn't there. Fortunately...

Peter came home yesterday! I'm so happy to have him back. Driving to BWI was easy until I realized how dark the sky was getting with the impending rain - now that normally wouldn't be a problem, except I was wearing my sunglasses. My prescription...

-giving my blog a makeover- First, I thought it was high time for a new blog header. Last time I needed the hubby's help to change it, but I figured it out this time - go me! I chose this picture for three reasons: #1. Peter and I are always taking...

Isn't my Mom beautiful?

After being home for less than two days, Peter was off again today to Nashville for a work conference. I'm totally going to miss him. We are rarely apart, so that makes it even harder when we are. Since it's Wednesday, that means it's "Starbucks...

His birthday dinner started off with some baked beans... continued with some hot dogs, buns, and condiments... ...and finished up with some cake ( Cold Stone Creamery's "A Cheesecake Named Desire" ) And no, I wasn't slacking in the cooking...

29 years ago today, my husband, Peter, was born. Peter, although I rarely call him that because we have so many nicknames for each other, is the sweetest, kindest, most intelligent, and handsomest man I have ever met. I always hoped that I would find...

So my big gift for Peter this year was a trip to San Diego, or more specifically to Carlsbad, to visit Legoland! I'll write a longer post tomorrow, but wanted to post some of my favorite pictures, all goofy self-portraits. 1. In our matching Rock...

The cutest cups my hubby found me at Anthropologie last Friday. The surprise I found in the freezer tonight before making dinner - isn't my hubby sweet? Last night's spaghetti with meat sauce - the verdict....it was yummy! Tonight's dinner...

I figure it's time for a post. I haven't been all that busy lately, although Peter and I have been out and about a fair amount lately. Thursday, May 1st, we went out to dinner with my parents for my Mom's Birthday. We ate at the Italian restaurant...

Yesterday, Peter and I took the train up to New York City to attend Comic Con. It was definitely not my idea to go because I've only read one or two comic books in my entire life. Truthfully, I wasn't looking forward to spending the day looking...

I'm so happy that spring finally seems to be here. I'm up so early on a Sunday because Peter and I have two important things to do on our schedule this morning: Go to the Bagel shop - gross bagel with fish spread for him - yummy energy bagel with...

Ok, so my daily updates didn't work out so well. Let's see, what has gone on since I last posted, almost a month ago on March 14? 1. We went to Prague and did some touring Peter with his Dad checking looking off of Charles Bridge Us on Charles...

So my daily dissertation update was actually written yesterday, but I'm going to leave it as written since nothing else has happened with my dissertation... Well I feel as if I am in the home stretch with my dissertation. With the exception of entering...
