Land of the Can Cozy

This weekend we're hanging down south. My kite's family goes to the annual Sweetcorn Festival down here. Today was great other than the day being 99+ degrees and everyone walking around with SWASS(swamp+ass). It's pretty cool seeing everyone line up to get free sweet corn that was steamed in a steam engine right on the farm. We usually get out of line and go back in several times. It's pretty much like yummy in a husk! We then commence eating corn covered in butter till we never want to see another piece again. After seating in the heat till you feel like you can move again it's then time to walk around the festival trying to get Delicious Carnival food, lemon shake-ups, kettle corn and ride Carnie rides. It's definitely a summer ender. Of course my favorite part is people watching. I even tried to fit in today by sporting a can cozy!

Here are a few pics, before I put the camera away to use both hands to eat corn with.

UPS is Like Santa

Today all my gadgets arrived all at the same time. Even though I ordered them at separate times. It was such and exciting day opening boxes, then more boxes, and then instructions. Well with no further adieu I want to introduce to you the two most handy dandy tools I will not be able to live with out. My Mac Pro and My Nikon D5100. No applause necessary! I'll come up with cuter pet names to call them soon.
(Please note the pictures you're about to see are taken by yours truly with the most bad-ass camera I've ever laid my finger on) And yes, you'll see a picture of THIS GIRL.

And here is the first picture and certainly not the last taken with the new camera. I've been thinking about this for weeks. I wanted to have a special first picture. And it's dedicated to my love. My best friend. Someone who is very patient with me. Someone who is just so darn adorable. And the guy who set up all these gadgets. My kite. Again no applause necessary. I think I'm going to frame it.

After playing with these fun toys. We decide to have chipotle for dinner. No photos of that, because I gobbled it down.

I did however prep some food for tomorrow. We're going to be gone for the 3-day weekend, so I need to use up what we've got. I seasoned some chicken breasts to bake and more lamp chops to throw in the crock pot.
