Portsmouth photos

We spent the day in Portsmouth yesterday. Now, to put off lesson planning, I bring you a photo post.

First, I bring you the creepiest Santa photo ever:

(please don't prove me wrong, I don't think I can handle more disturbing Santa imagery - though I'm sure the internet would provide far worse)

Phew. To clear your palate of that, I bring you the soothing, adorable imagery of fairy houses. Portsmouth just happened to be having a "fairy house tour" day, and there were materials for kids and their families to build fairy houses with all over the place. It was so cute, some of the houses were really awesome.

(This one was inside a big tunnel-y trellis covered with morning glories. You looked through one end and OH FAIRIES. :)

( more photos oh boy )

let's get it poppin', shorty

Hello, internet.

I don't know why a single glass of wine makes me want to REACH OUT AND TOUCH SOMEONE online, but it totally does. WHAT'S UP, friendslist?

Today I found a bunch of old photos from my early photos-on-the-internet days. I weighed nothing, and looked about 12. I had a grainy digital camera, did not know how to use photo editing software, thought black-and-white was the best thing ever, and enjoyed being half-naked in my pictures. Good times! But wasn't my hair fun when it was short?


Maybe I could rock that hair better nowadays. What do you think?
