well, i guess i lied

CLEARLY, I’M IN A SEASON IN LIFE where i just can’t find the time for little things i used to have time for…catching dust bunnies…filing my nails…or paperwork since we’re on the topic…sketching happy ghosts…eating something other than string cheese and coffee…watching giada and ina in the afternoon and cooking one of their masterpieces…blogging. but i do have time for the important things…being a mom, and a wife, and present to friends and family. yes, important, indeed!

until then, i suppose fun little life updates will need to wait. perhaps until this weekend? for now,  a quick shop update {birthday bird stickers!}

update deux

OUR INTERNET IS BACK! i’ve been surviving off my iphone for the past week. which isn’t a bad thing, quite handy, and cute because i have kittycaller, and very nice for my tweets — but typing lengthy email responses, browsing the web, even making updates here has been near impossible. so i’m back. real updates soon!

may i be the first to say…HAPPY VALENTIMES! to you and yours and his and hers…

update

this place may be quiet, but that certainly hasn’t been the case in the sanchez household. i’ve had very little time just to sit at the computer, or to even collect my thoughts, with so many wonderful life happenings blurring by us way too fast. tommy had a birthday (33!), and now our little wren is no longer a baby, but a toddler! she turned ONE on february 3rd. today i’m wrapping up the final details of her big birthday bash for tomorrow. once the party is a completed success – and i’m most positive it will be a smash – i’ll have a free moment to post lots of pictures of the party, the 10 + 11 month updates, home videos, and new illustrations i’ve somehow managed to find the time to create. talk to you soon…

update

WHAT’S GOING ON? well, let’s see…there was a beach retreat {no pictures, sad}, my father-in-law’s 60th birthday party {no pictures, even more sad}, sanchez photo shoot session 1 for christmas cards {photographed by moi, and a hilarious challenge}, fall wedding orders falling from the sky, little baby wren not so little anymore and taking one less nap a day {in need of more mom-time}, threw a pantie party for a friend getting married tomorrow {i was 10 shades of red going into spencer’s with wren just to buy a gag gift for the party}, working on our halloween costumes {can you believe it’s next week!?}…and lastly, found out that i’ll be in my very first craft faire at the end of november! more updates soon…

has it really been a month since i last updated…and christmas is next week? oy! the past month has been a whirlwind. we visited family in iowa for thanksgiving and got our cold weather fix – yeah, the crazy sanchezes love cold weather. our trip did put us back a week in decorating for christmas, a task we take very, very seriously. so serious, that tommy has been in a slump because the christmas lights on the porch are not cooperating {time to buy new lights}. to lift his spirits a little gift was left for him.

misty’s still alive, and so is magnificentbliss

misty: 18 years, magnificentbliss: 8. this site just might be around a little longer than misty though. it’s been rough year for her, hopefully not her last.

friends, magnificentbliss is back. the rest of the site is a work in progress, but at least this is a start.

visit tomorrow for some fun news.

no, seriously…

really, i am working on updating this site — oh it’s so sad here right now, old words, broken links, deleted posts, much like walking into a dirty room and being annoyed with the mess you’ve made but not really having the time or care to do anything about it — uh, yuck.

“tsk, tsk, she’s let herself go”. at least that’s what you would think. oh, not true! just you wait.

a complete change in direction that’s so exciting and hard to contain. i don’t want to share anything just yet though. wait a little longer and you’ll see…

86 the camera, just a side of words.

remember when i had a camera? that was fun. i would take pictures of the most random, mundane, often at the most inappropriate times…occasionally of tommy, usually of food. ahh, yes… food… recipes. those were the days. i promise you that i’m not despairing, but hopeful. working my fingers into nubs, saving for another camera.

i will return when i have a new camera, or maybe a borrowed camera. it might take a few months, but i will return.

this site doesn’t inspire me to write much anymore, or take pictures for that matter (might have something to do with the fact that my camera is dying an awful death – see evidence of the malignant splotches above).

i have few thoughts to share lately. i’d rather talk in person than spend the time writing it on here – it feels forced if i do. maybe that will change and i’ll have more to say, or maybe i’ll be inspired to do something else with magnificentbliss.

for now, i have more traveling to do and holidays to enjoy. updates may or may not be made soon – we shall see!

UPDATE: my camera died today, november 17, 2006 @ 3:10pm. rest in peace my little powershot a70. your 3.2 megapixels documented my life well.

what i did on my summer vacation

090606

1.) unexpected short hair cut + hot summer nights = very tall bedhead in the morning! so sexy hot.

2.) the heat agitated my sweat-susceptible wrists, making computer work painfully uncomfortable (and sticky) against my desk – partial reason why i closed up shop for most of the summer, couldn’t work under those conditions!

3.) summer footwear has taken an awkward and embarrassing toll on my left foot proving once again to be THE SUMMER OF THE BUNION. fortunately, we are only weeks away from IT being tucked safely into a cottony sock until next year.

4.) i discovered pre de provence soap, h&m, the magic of peet’s coffee, alta plaza park, nathan oliveira, and raisin bread – but not all at once – it takes an entire summer to appreciate such a list.
