Just got back from dropping it off. Here’s today’s update. Apparently, Wayne said the radiator fan is just bad timing, not part of the problem with the A/C. (Though I guess the reverse is possible? You can burn out a compressor fan from a bad radiator or something as the system tries to stay cooled…

Post Hysterectomy – 8 Months Post Op
I haven’t updated in awhile so I thought I’d post another photo of the healing progress. June 5th was eight months post op from my Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) and my incisions are looking really good. The main scar on my left (viewer right) is fading nicely and is much less red then it was….
More Fun With Flowers
Following the flower macro photos from the other day, I had a request from my Mom (hi, mom!) to try some water in the shots. Hrm, sounds like a good idea! So last night, I played around a bit with adding drops of water onto the petals and also floating the flower in water. Here’s…
Fun with Flowers
So I’m still learning my camera. Going to a DSLR definitely means some changes in how I approach shooting pics. And I’m still trying to wrangle out the shots I want, but I’m getting better. Last night, I picked up a small thing of flowers when I was at Target to give myself something to…
PhoenixFire Designs Shop Updates
Sorry no entries since the weekend. I’ve been busy mainly with shop orders and updates the past few days. Since it’s what’s been occupying my time, I thought I’d take a moment and show off some of what’s been keeping me busy. 🙂 First off, I’ve completed my full moon “trilogy” as it were. Now,…

Holiday Weekend
Been quiet around here the past few days because it was a 3-day, holiday weekend. Today (Monday, May 28th) is Memorial Day and a Federal holiday so most companies are closed, including Love’s. (Plus things like banks, post office, etc.) It’s also considered the “unofficial” start of summer here in the US. People BBQ and…
Learning to Shoot
I know how to take pictures in that I have a good eye for shots. Up until now, I’ve used a standard point-and-shoot digital camera with decent, but limited, results. What I don’t know (yet!) is how to fully control the taking of those shots when you can change as much or as little of…
Busy Birthday
I have totally meant to make a post-birthday post for several days now but have been too busy to get to it. So here is a very brief (but photo-heavy) recap. More details to follow. Wednesday 16th My actual birthday. Love came home and surprised me by knocking on the door and when I answered,…
This, That and The Other
Love & the Neurologist Yesterday (Monday the 14th) Love had his follow-up with the neurologist. Turns out the CT scan he had done a few weeks ago was perfectly normal. See, Love has this “whooshing” which kinda pulses in his right ear. Had it for years. But, when the whole vertigo-turned-out-to-be-migraines attacks started a year…
