what i'm gonna take with my minolta

who knew that domino's could be so creative..

at our local bar

i never get over how some of these pictures come out. since i've been using my parents Minolta from '86, i'm continually surprised at how the pictures look after i get them developed. the modern man of today would hate the non-instant satisfaction of being able to see the pictures that were just snapped, but i kind of really like not knowing how they turn out, until i drop them off at CVS, wait an hour or two, go pick them up, and upload them onto my computer. it's not a process for a highly anxious person! in fact, i dropped a roll of film (with some pictures from my 21st on it!) at CVS two weeks ago, and when i went to go pick them up, they told me that my pictures were missing, then a few days later were declared lost. what a bummer. oh well, someone out there is enjoying my pictures...kinda funny if you think about it.

birthday party(ies) festivities, occurring dec 17th, 18th (my actual birthday), all throughout the following week, and basically for the rest of my life, i will be celebrating my twentyfirst birthday. gina & i split these Sam Edelman Zoe booties, so our girl Zoe has more than one home. we've calculated a visitation schedule and i got to wear them for my twentyfirst birthday debut. the other two alcohol-infused pictures were birthday gifts given to me by my friends. safe to say we had a good time...before heading to the bars ;)

high on my fryes

theeeeseee are my 21st birthday boots. that i will forever have, love, and cherish. after hearing three of my girlfriend's moms say that they still had their Frye boots from college, i knew it was not only an awesome boot, but an investment piece. my wonderful parents worked their magic and hooked me up with these 12R Harness Fryes in tan on the morning of my 21st birthday. i screamed when i ripped the box from the wrapping paper. slipped my feet into each boot, pranced around my kitchen, and screamed again. i've worn them in and they fit like a glove (i usually wear a size 8.5, but in these an 8 is a good fit, i even have wiggle room for bulky socks heh)! i highly suggest investing in a pair, you'll love 'em, and if you're anything like all my friend's moms, you'll still have them well into your 50s ;)
