adding stuff to vox + qotd

I finally got around to adding a few of my recent photos off my camera.  For some reason, my camera sat here for several weeks w/o being touched, and I finally got a chance to move them to my computer, title them in iPhoto, export them to flickr (to keep my titles, descriptions, and resize them) and then pull them into Vox.  Phew!

I have some 4th of july ones together in a collection, as well as just some random ones from last weekend's trip to Vancouver.  We just decided to go wandering around, and ended up looking through some shops: a used book store where E found a ton of things to get and I got one children's book I remember laughing hysterically at, several Art Galleries with local art, wandering down the street and back up over again to the car, and finally stopping at a cafe for lunch and gelato.  We headed for a cool kid's toystore next door for a bit, looking at games and always skimming for potential gifts for miss leah.  Our goal was to go to Farmers market, but by the time we walked that direction, it was closed.  Oops, we'll try for that another day.

It was a delightful day, even though my legs were sore after walking so much.  I definitely want to go and do that again, and maybe even sit in the park downtown.  There was a big thing going on when we walked back that way, too, and I'm not sure we would have fit in at the pride event :)  But we did sit and listen to the music for a few minutes and it was nice.

So yeah, back to my title of the post... I added other stuff to vox too.  I've been trying to keep up on all of my movies and books too.  With our now-regular trips to the library and the Netflix movies coming in a few times a week, it's quite exciting to be able to track them here. :)  No new music, but I do have a gift card on my desk and hope to get some new stuff soon. Cori gave me some great ideas of Ani DiFranco songs I should check out, at the very least!

This weekend was much lighter - we spent quite a bit of the weekend resting and I took several naps.  We ended up going to Leonard and Sarah's and having dinner with them and Mom and Dad (steak on the grill, corn on the cob, bread, and salad, AND blackberry/blueberry cobbler, SO goood).  We hung out with Leah and I read books with her and we played in her little pool (just a kiddy pool with 6-9" of water).  Then today, we played a bit, watched a movie, and ate leftovers.  A few interesting work things in between, but mainly tried to rest and relax and get ready for another week. :)
