So! The gift bags for the Federated Media cocktail party in New York were kind of jaw dropping thanks to a couple of good friends. Maile from Epiphanie Bags, the woman who did our family photoshoot, offered to give us a bunch of her camera bags:

Then our friends downstairs at Photojojo said they could get us some Fuji Instax Minis and film:

Are these gift bags ludicrous? Yes they are. Do you want one?
Leave a comment telling us something on your life list by Monday, August 30 at noon PST. Your comment enters you for a chance to win the Lola Epiphanie camerabag and Photojojo’s Fuji Instax Mini 25 Instant Camera. I hope you win, because I like you very much. Thanks for reading.
Now for the fine print: Please only leave one comment, because it’s the nice thing to do, and also because multiple entries will be disqualified. I’ll use random.org to select the winner, and I’ll announce who won at the top of this post and in a separate post on Monday.

As for my life list: getting home from vacation. (We’re currently broken down 5 hours from home. We had to stay in a hotel overnight. My husband is devastated and feels responsible, though it was bad gas that ended up frying our fuel pump. I’m equally devastated, mostly because this will eat my entire paycheck. Boo.) So, yes, getting home would be great. 😦

I’ve been ignoring my life list and my blog. My father died this summer and it has influenced the way I look at my life list. It’s changed some things and added others. Right now, No. 1 is to record the ordinary. I wish I had recorded my father’s voice more. I know it is on some recordings, but his voice was so strong, so booming…. I want more. My plan is to record my boys reading books, my mom talking about her quilt making (which I never slow down enough to actually listen to, but I’m going to), my husband describing his childhood summers in Florida, my brothers talking about golf or a card game or whatever….

i’m continually adding to my life list, but one of the big items on it is to live alone. i just moved into a studio apartment at the end of may and it’s just as wonderful as i thought it would be. aside from the perks of having total aesthetic control over my own space (and being able to give into my love of lime green), it’s let me relax and look at other items on my list and realize that i can totally make them happen.
