when bad things happen to good people

Two of the nicest people I know were robbed. Why do things like this happen? My thoughts are indeed with you.

Hey look at me, I'm being social...

When I was in my early twenties I took my Polaroid everywhere. Most shots were of friends and the dumb things you do together when you are young. Later in life I became newly fascinated with the camera, picking up an SX-70, a Holga back for peel apart film, a One 600, and a One Step. There were a few others but the butter fingers that I am let them slip away into shattered pieces.
I captured pattern and color wherever I could find it, and never could pass up a ridiculous wall mural. Those little squares of magic make me damn giddy. In total I probably have amassed hundreds, if not thousands, of photos. I really only slowed down when the film wasn't as readily available.
This week is #PolaroidWeek and with the resurgence in popularity and through Polaroid Original's efforts I'm getting that urge to go out and chase the instant 🌈. #polaroid #polaroidweek #polaroidfilm

That time Edie unknowingly gave a nod to one of my favorite hoards, Pez! Also, costume idea...Pleeze dispenser anyone? No? Other, non Pez related options: Iris Apfel (because she is all about bracelets right now) or Edie Knievel (because she is also all about being a little risk taker). Last year she was Little Edie so perhaps I stick with the eccentric lady theme 🤷‍♀️. P.S. Most awesome onesie ever by @hugolovestiki. I'm going to have to get one in every size so she never outgrows it.

I have at times been independent to a fault. And technically it’s my skin and bones that keep me together (and my sort of muscles play a part). But it’s the love and support of those that are closest that do the real work. I don’t know what I’d do without you. Thanks for being my emotional guerrilla glue. #deepbullshit #seasonalreflection

That time I found instructions for a baby dance party in the shower and thought surely there is a better place for this

The devastation along the Texas coast will leave a lasting impact, affecting lives and livelihoods. Whether it’s your time, your money, or your compassion if you can help please do. There are countless organizations, but one good place to start is http://charitynavigator.org if you’re unsure how best to contribute. #helphouston #hurricaneharvey

It's hard not to make this about myself simply because of how I feel when I'm with him and how my life has changed for the better since our paths crossed (again)— but any focus on me is a disservice to him, because even without me he is kind, has the sharpest aim when it comes to launching a pun, thinks fast, is both introspective and effortlessly extroverted, game for anything, hard working, and has the patience of a saint. Happy birthday to my forever mate!
