Tweet.

I have twitter now, and have no clue how to use it. I am also aware that I am indeed the last person on the face of the earth to get it (even though there was MUCH insistent persuasion from select friends). Feel free to drop some pointers my way!

Valini: Everyday

Fabulousness just follows her around. I mean really, I wish the stuff came in pill form; I’d get a lifetime supply. Drop dead gorgeous, check. Smarty pants, check. And one of the best friends you could ever have, check. Valini just graduated from Howard University and in honor, we decided to do her senior portraits the only way she knows how…uber fab! Congrats girl!

Yes, even her drink matched her outfit. That’s just how she rolls.

Ran into some familiar faces along the way.

I think someone knew we were coming and painted the wall to coordinate with her shirt. Yes…I’m sure that’s what happened.

Valini is so much fun to be around. I do believe here, she was laughing at her atrocious phenomenal dance moves. I should have shown her the ropes ;)

These two have to be my favorite from the session. The golden delicious sun makes me swoon all over. Plus the super smoking hot girl in the pic…killer combo.

Valini: Sneak Peek

Hoola Hoop.

Although I don’t like when people continuously post videos on their blogs. I had to. Pot. Kettle. Black.

I think you will enjoy this one. A friend told me to check it out, and ended up with laughing tears streaming down my face.

Video Monday!

Today, in lieu of photos I will show videos. No, they aren’t of me, but they are just too amazing not to share. Happy Monday!

And last, but not least…Bizkit.

Kerry- Sneak Peek

Just thought I’d show you a sneak peek of the shoot I had this weekend with my awesome cousin Kerry. Although I was born in West Virginia, and both my parents went to WVU…I will always be a Terp.

Umm, yea, I thought it went nicely with my outfit. I look like the Gladiator…except tougher, of course.

Johns Hopkins

Today I received an email from a friend who also has a family member receiving care from Johns Hopkins. She wanted to know what my thoughts were on the hospital, and seeing I was about to do a post on my experience at Hopkins, I thought I would just share with you an excerpt from my email.

“My dad has a very rare disease called Spinal Cerebral Ataxia 5, which is technically degeneration of the cerebellum. Although it is not fatal (most people die from the brutal beating they take from the falls) it has turned his world upside down. His speech is severely slurred, motor skills diminished, and his balance non-existent. The effects of the disease mimic a person who is severely impaired by alcohol. He has finally come to terms with using a walker, and living his life labeled as handicapped.

I cannot even begin to tell you how highly I think of Hopkins. Since my dad started to get sick about three years ago, I have been with him to many neurology appointments. Most of them I have been completely and utterly disappointed with. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come home from his appointments (at UMD) and cried my eyes out, for their lack of interest, compassion and sensitivity for my dad’s illness. I understand it’s rare. I understand there isn’t that much research. I understand there is no treatment, but that doesn’t dismiss the fact that he is a person, with a illness that has completely altered his life.

He was at Hopkins yesterday for a spinal tap, to try and get some more information on my dad’s current progression of the illness and hopefully to spark research of the disease in general. The moment we walked in yesterday, I was taken aback. They were amazing…they wanted to know what my dad did for fun, if he had a boat, they wanted to know my name, what I did, etc, etc. And it wasn’t just one person who was genuinely concerned, it was everyone we came across. It is what I had been wishing for my dad since this whole thing started, someone who cared, and realized what this illness is doing to my dad. From the receptionist lady who called our number in about 1.5 minutes, to the nurse who took his blood…amazing. The facility is beautiful, the people are so kind, and you know your loved ones are getting top-notch care.”

Although I am not a big fan of hospitals, Johns Hopkins is one of a kind. They have set the bar high. I hope none of you ever have to experience a day in a hospital, but if you do, know that Hopkins is internationally ranked and has the best of the best, top-notch care that you can get.

Horsing around.

Ok…so I guess this blog went on vacation when turkey day got near. Thanksgiving was so much fun, and I promise there will be an abundance of pictures to come. But for now, I will share my new friends. As Dad and I were checking out wee streets in Severna Park…we came across these guys…in SP! Who would have thought? They didn’t really want their pictures taken and were more interested in biting my hair. But after much negotiating, we worked out a deal. Let just say next time I will bring out the Krispy Kremes earlier.
