I love these pictures.

 Petunias are always so photogenic and are a summer staple.  I love the shades of purple here.

One of my favorite Columbus buildings.  Plus the attention to detail along the doorframes.

 These pictures are just about to only good things that came out of Pride weekend.  Haha.

Summer bucket list.

I plan on documenting each one with a picture.  At the end of this summer I'll write a post and share all of the pictures.  If I can't get them all done than I will add them to my LIFE bucket list.

1. Ride the giant yellow slide at the Fair.
2. Sip homemade lemonade out of a mason jar with a red and white spiral straw on a porch somewhere.
3. Brainstorm ideas for bulletin boards and make all of my floors door decorations before August.
4. Watch an outdoor movie.
5. Make 15 new pieces of jewelry and gift them to people.
6. Bake cupcakes.  Pass out cupcakes and hugs to strangers.
7. Document 5 Columbus restaurants with pictures.  Set it up with management. Write a blog post about each one.
8. Go on a road trip.

Slight changes.

Hello!
Just a quick post to catch you up.  This coming week is finals week and it will pure insanity.  Not only do I have finals to study for (which I should be doing right at this very moment) but we have to close our building.  Somehow these 600+ students have to all pack up their belongings and leave before Friday at 2pm.  It will be a miracle if it all works out.

I also start my Ohio State Fair internship next Monday and I am very excited for that.  I'm sure it will keep me on my toes but I love a new experience.



I've made a few changes to my layout:
I've added the links to different pages above this post.  Go ahead and look.  Do you like what you see?  Some of them are still under construction.  I'm hoping to add more as I get the hang of things.

I eliminated the background.  Still sourcing other ideas for this.  For now I like the solid color.

I'm looking to add some sort of widget to the "photography" tab above so the pictures scroll through.  If you have ideas of a good one I'd love to know.

I'm looking into Google AdSense.  Trying to increase my traffic here.  I think that will come as I continue to post and grow a base.  I'd love for you to share with your friends.

I must away now to buy cookies for a floor program. 

Thanks for reading with me,
Logan

My weekend in pictures 5.4.2012-5.6.2012

So... I haven't done this in quite a while!  I figured I wanted to get back in the swing of posting my weekend in pictures.  For posterity's sake, of course.  I had a stellar weekend, and spent a good chunk of it sleeping.  

Current song obsession? 

Daughter- Youth
(When I just searched this on YouTube I put in "Family- Son" but nothing came up. Haha.)

Current guilty pleasure song?

Click to listen while you explore this weekends pictures!

 I needed a good escape on Thursday.  So, even though it isn't technically part of my weekend, I wanted to include it here.  I got sucked into the $1 section at Michaels.  And I had to call my Mom just to will myself out of it.  I spent so much time in the dollar section that I didn't leave myself enough time to explore the rest of the store.  I made a few really great purchases, though.  

So exciting.

 I've also been looking for shorts.  Since I'm a tall guy and this seasons shorts are cut to fit short on guys already (it's the yacht look?) it's been hard to find anything that doesn't ride up on me when I sit down.  I finally found a pair (these aren't them) at Old Navy.  Success!  Except I wore them once and got tooth paste on them.  They'll have to wait for the next wash cycle.

 How does a person design window displays?  Who do you call?  Because I feel like I'd be really good at it.  I loved this one.

 Most likely the best .40 cents I have ever spent.  It's a jumbo eraser that is designed like a robot.  It EVEN has a heart.  I'll need to go back and get some more.  Because once you use it...

 I bought new BRIGHT yellow shoes. 

 I generally get a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch.  Well, I'm starting to rethink my order because no one can make a PB& J that is up to my standards.  No one.  This guy got jelly all on the outside of the bread.  How? I have no idea.

 Positive graffiti on the white board in Thompson Library.  I'm not sure what the drawing there is, but I didn't want to erase it.

 It started raining as I was walking across campus.  Beautiful moment.

 I have a new obsession...

 It's hand lettering. 

 I love it.  It's a good release.

 I've already done this.  It was in a book called "Do something everyday."

Plus, I love my family tree.

 I also bought some new stamps!  They're clear and just stick onto that acryclic block you see there.  I used this one to make the card you see below...

I wanted to use both words, but I didn't want them to be so close together (one inside the cut out and one below it) so I only stamped ink onto one word at a time.  Perfect!  I love these clear stamps, you can see EXACTLY where you are going to place it.

 I added some dots around the "Hello" and some accents on the "Darling" part.  

It's simple. Classy.  I love it.

 I spent a few hours nestled in the Union today working on a paper.  I took this picture because it seemed like a perfect moment... how could I pass up that big block O?  No way Jose.

That's all for this week.

Thanks for stopping by!

Easter.

So, it's been a long Thursday.  I've been up since 8am. I've been all over the place, I've talked to so many different people.  I'm wore out.  So I've closed my door.  I've hit the play button on some Adele.  I rummaged through my Easter basket and found some chocolate.
This blog for me is therapeutic.  There is so much I want to do and I think about posting here, but the time for all of that alludes me.  I have some of my favorite blogs that I go to and those people get paid to blog on a daily basis.  Isn't that amazing?  Seriously.
Easter for me was outstanding.  I love that I am only a short drive from home. From my family. It was hard to spend Easter away from my family, and even though the Antonaccis always made me feel comfortable and welcome in their home, it just wasn't the same.
I asked my Mom and Aunt Robin this year while everyone was getting food in the kitchen if they ever looked ahead into their lives and expected to be right here, eating Easter dinner in the same house they were raised in so many years before.  They both just looked at me puzzled... my Mom simply said: "I always knew that we would be here. In this house."
There is something to be said for that insurance police life has given me.  I can always go back home.  I've had a weird life, this is true.  I've been down in some really low lows, and I've witnessed what it's like to be up in the highest of highs.  When I look back on my life I am so proud of what I have accomplished and I am so excited for all of the things that lie ahead.
