New Lens/What Happens When You're a Mom

So Will gave me a new portrait camera lens for our Canon. It's a 50mm fixed lens and I do love it so. The first night we had it Will's parents were in town and we thought we'd introduce them to Nancy G's. It's a great neighborhood kid friendly southern cooking kind of place. As an added bonus we had a Scout Mob coupon to the restaurant for 50% off our bill so we hit the place up. They have a great patio with live music and dog bowls for the canines. They even have a dog menu that you can order off of for your doggies.

Here is my very first photo with my new lens and it's of hubs of course... You can see how awesome the lens is at blending the background. None of the background was retouched - this is straight off the camera.

Of course I had to snag one of BEAUTIFUL.

and Gaga...

...and Tom Tom

If you all have ever used Scout Mob on your iphone you know there is a stache camera which we particularly love so I snapped a few of our stache cam takes.

So now to the second part of my title: "What Happens When You're A Mom." Well apart from saggy boobs, stretch marks, wider hips and frizzy hair...

After my mom died I went through thousands of family photos only to find that she wasn't in but a small few of them. I realized quickly the reason was because she was the one taking them all. I told Will at one point to be sure and take some pictures of me along the way because if I ever die I don't want him to wish he had some for him and Nora (morbid I know...but anyhow) So this was his portrait of me.

Thanks a lot man... Apparently when you become a mom you no longer qualify to have pictures taken of you - or at least not very flattering ones.

...and now ending on a pretty note! I could just eat her up!

0129: Halfway to a Career in Hip-Hop (Plus Free Ice Cream)

As fate would have it, I have already begun my foray into hip-hop dance. Well, that's a slight exaggeration. What that really means is I played with a Kinect for the first time on Saturday and attempted to learn two dances from a cool-kid avatar that said things like, "that's tight!" and "yeahhhh that one's tricky, we'll come back to that." (I'll let you guess which phrase I heard more frequently.) Craig and I went over to my friend Nicole's boyfriend JL's house and danced the night away. Well, dance-tutorial'd our night away. Dance terms I learned: the "boop boop" the "torch" aka the fist pump. (I mastered this one.) the "chill" (basically just snapping with one hand while looking cool) the "nudgie" among many, many more. I'm pretty sure these are all fictional terms and not actually used in the hip-hop community, but really, how would I know? (Please enlighten me in the comments if you are more in-tune with this terminology.) Playing on the easiest difficulty means that the aforementioned cool-kid avatar will lazily do the side-step for 8 bars while you try to figure out which foot to move first, all the while staring at you with what I could only assume was a bored, patronizing expression on his face. Though to be fair, I couldn't really tell due to the fact that his hoodie was obstructing most of his vision (see below.).

Though my favorite part was probably watching Nicole do Soulja Boy. All the way through. Also this weekend Craig and I got free ice cream at Pied Piper Creamery in East Nash. Being newlyweds on a budget, we more than welcomed this deal from ScoutMob. If you don't have this app on your phone and you live in Nashville (or any other semi-large city), get it. It has restaurants and stores actual locals want to go to instead of the plethora of laser-hair removal services Groupon throws at you daily. Flavor I got: Mocha Chocolatta Ya Ya. (Yes, they went there.) Coffee ice cream with brownies and chocolate ribbon. (drool.)

It was so delicious. And even though it was free, they definitely did not skimp on the 1 scoop. If you haven't been to Pied Piper, go try it. (There's also one in Berry Hill about .5 miles from our house but they aren't open very late. Know that the East Nash location is actually open later than the website says.) Done with the Pied Piper/ScoutMob plug. Off to practice the "nudgie."

Scout Mob

I've come to the unfortunate realization that most of my friends aren't familiar with Scout Mob and their glorious, glorious deals. They offer 50% off restaurants (up to a certain amount). They currently have this deal for a few other places: a spa, a book store and an art supply store.  Guess what, you get this discount for FREE. You don't spend $10 for $20 worth of food, services, or merchandise. It is FREE. What are you waiting for? 

The Skinny: Sign up for their daily deals! They will send you an email about their offer for the day. You have one day to sign up for that deal. Sign up and the 50% off is yours.  Congrats, you are now a few dollars richer.

The Loophole: If you have an iPhone or Droid download the app. This gives you access to all of the deals. You don't have to sign up every time you see something you like! Also, some places offer return perks. Once you use the 50% off deal on your phone, you will have 25% off for next time.

The Victory: You are now the coolest in your group of friends.
