Today I am thankful for...

Welcome to my gratitude blog, which was formerly my 365 project (posts 5/30/10 - 5/30/11). I will continue posting 10 things for which I am grateful to help me (and maybe you too) stay positive.

Here's to optimism, gratitude, and all the simple pleasures of life :)

Getting creative

Recording in my makeshift studio in Sissy’s closet:

Me: *strums loudly with headphones on* …going well so far…

-Halfway through the song-

Ma: “CATHY. CATHY. CATHY. CATHY!! I BROUGHT YOU SOME FRUIT!!” *Barges into the room with a plate of fruit*

Me: “I DON’T WANT ANY FRUIT, MOM.”

Ma: “HOW CAN YOU NOT WANT FRUIT? EAT THE FRUIT. IT’S GOOD FOR YOU.”

Me: “FINE, MOM.”

Aaaaaand the recording is ruined.

…I do have to admit that I really love Asian pears… so that made it okay.

Recording has been a flop lately, but I’m happy to report good news in the photography department. My best friend has graciously (and patiently) offered her time to be a model for a photo shoot in Santana Row!
