katydid...or rather was, taking pictures these past few months

It started with a {plane trip} to Chicago for work. My flight got delayed leaving Chicago, so I really had the *entire* Chicago experience! (I also had deep dish pizza while sitting next to 2 Chicago Bulls players!)

Next? Well, to spend a little quality time with the husband we decided, along with the rest of the DC metro area, to check out the {Cherry Blossom Festival}. I used a new technique- Through the Viewfinder (TTV) where you build a contraption & take a picture with your macro lens thru the viewfinder of an old camera. In my case, a Kodak Duaflex. Hence the scratched, slightly dirty, square images. Tres retro, no?

And then, what did I do? I bought a {house}. Well, my husband and I bought a house. Needless to say, that took up much of my time, what with the searching, fretting, packing, cleaning, shopping for curtains/rugs, and ultimately unpacking.

Hmmm...what came next? Oh, yes! Another work trip! This time to {San Francisco} & I was able to combine it with visiting my friend {Sarah}. She really is the hostess with the mostest! Thanks Sarah! I had some seriously fabulous {wine}. Do you Fume? Or para-surf?

Then just 5 short days after arriving back from San Francisco I went to Pittsburgh for the weekend. And forgot my camera at home!

So, as you can see, I've been a mite-bit busy. Forgive me for the long time a-comin' updates. Tomorrow I'll try to update from the photos I took this weekend.
