Tidbit Tuesday #34

There are two things in this life I’ve never quite understood. The Discovery Channel‘s Shark Week, and HD television. Until, of course, the two came together. Then HOLY MOLY, I’m hooked like a bull shark on a tuna chomp. (Ha! Look at me all “I know what I’m talking about.”) I’m not sure if I love sharks, or absolutely hate them. But I DO love Shark Week!

I miss Dylan. Is that lame? Oh, but I do. I miss him in advance, really. We’ll spend our first three days apart this weekend. CRAZY. What’s crazier is that we’ve spent the last 51 days together. We still let out the occasional and mind-blowing “We’re MARRIED!!” every once in a while.

One of my favorite parts of living down south? The legit Cajan-style jambalaya baby!! Some other things I’m noticing that aren’t so pleasant? Three-inch-long dragon flies that travel in swarms. Random, I know, but it’s Tidbit Tuesday.

Newhouse taught me to analyze camera angles and lens filters and filming techniques. Running a business taught me, well, business and branding. So when I see a print ad or commercial I like, I get a little overly excited. Who of you have seen the new commercials for the iPhone 4? Absolutely brilliant. Of course, I don’t think I would opt to tell my husband we’re having a baby over video chat, but the whole concept behind the ads is spot on.

Disses to UPS and UPS.com this Tuesday. You’ve been caught red-handed. There is no one by the name of “Toledo” who could have possibly signed for my package. Get with it, UPS, get with it.

Barnes and Noble is my little piece of heaven. Where else can you sip your green tea frap, people watch uninterrupted (yes, it’s my guilty pleasure), and read only the good chapters in thousands of books? Which brings me to my new read, full of good chapters. Stuff Christians Like by Jonathan Acuff. Based on his blog, this book is absolutely hysterical and soberingly convicting all in one. I pleaded with Dylan to buy it for me.. For my half birthday and two days celebration. And he did. And it’s mine. And I love it. :)

I kid you not, I experience hiccups after every meal. And still, I never learn to slow down when I eat.

Photog inspiration of the week: Stephanie Fay based out of Scottsdale, AZ. This girl is genuine, sweet, beautiful, and holds about 1,743 sq. grams of talent in her left elbow. I am continually astounded by her eye for light and color and texture. If you haven’t gotten to know her through her blog or website, consider this my virtual shove.

Apparently, it’s that time again. Because you see, just about once a day, I realize I haven’t thought about writing out wedding thank-you’s since, well, the day before. They’re coming people, they’re coming. Tomorrow.. No, really. In the meantime, know that we are thankful. :)

I leave you with a sneak peek of Thursday. And my new favorite image. I’m thinking canvas gallery wrap for my office wall, no?

Happy Tuesday!!
