Juno is a Bad Bad Dog: Penalty: Delay of Game

I've been a big-time slacker on the posting front. I apologize to the many of you that have been refreshing this page daily.

Well, I had a great birthday last weekend. So much better than I could have imagined. It helped that Philip and Malory were here to bring a little bit of Athens soul with them. We jam-packed the two days they were here with lots of touristy things and I had a great time. It was so exciting to see the White House for the first time - even though we've been living in metro DC for over a month. We saw most of the monuments and went to the Smithsonian American Art Museum. It was great, but I was hoping for a little more modern art. I really wanted to see a Jackson Pollack or a Rothko, but not one. I think I'll try the National Gallery of Art next time. We did however see sculpture from my favorite furniture designer/sculptor, Harry Bertoia. It was one of those perfect moments where we were getting to the end and I was feeling a little sad, not seeing any of my favorites and I turned a corner and BAM. There she was.

We also went to the Nationals/Braves game on Sunday. It wasn't the same as Turner Field and it made me miss it a little bit. It didn't help that we got slaughtered (not even one run!) and that everyone around you is cheering for the other team, but I have to say the hotdog was probably one of the best hotdogs ever. You win there too Nats.

I loved getting so many cards and gifts in the mail in the past week! It was fun coming home to surprises and feeling all the love from so far away. I got to go shopping, we're going to the movies (!!!), and I feel so inspired from all my creative peeps. So, thank you EVERYONE for all of the birthday love.

Below are pictures I stole from Malory's facebook, apologies if it's redundant to some of you. :)

Also, keep an eye out for all of my many projects I've been working on lately. I've been a crafting, painting machine. :)
