Things that I’ve been up to this past week…
Since, you know, I forgot to blog and all.
Ticketmaster is AWESOME.
So Many Books... So Little Time.
One should always stock up on the necessities...
Gossip Girl + iPod means never having to pay attention to ANYONE, ANYWHERE
How long does it take Valentine roses to die anyhow?
Little Man turned TEN on the 22nd... I am officially OLD.
For pics that are undoubtedly more awesome and interesting than these, be sure to check out the other Weekly Winner-ers (totally a word) hanging out at chez Lotus.

Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 12:58Weren’t they bright? Of course, the stupid icing stained EVERYTHING. :) Thanks for stopping by!

SECRET AGENT MAMA
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 8:15You are brilliant (even if you can’t blog for shit, yo) and I love, love, love me some JS! ;)
Judith Shakespeare
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 13:18Sigh. I’m a terrible blogger, I know…. But as long as I have your love, the world is a beautiful place.

Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 8:17Great set. The cupcakes were my favorite.
Judith Shakespeare

SPOILED MOMMY
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 9:07Those cupcakes looks delicious! Happy birthday to the lil man!
So THATS your beauty secret, I was trying to read them all so I could steal it!!
Judith Shakespeare
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 13:26The whole Wexler line is AWESOME, honey! Although a little expensive. My favorite is her acne serum ($20- 30), though, and I slap it on after scrubbing my face with the Aveeno pads (BEST $7 ever spent). I follow-up with a Clinique moisturizer. Three steps morning and night, and I’m good to go.
(Oh! And the MAC foundation doesn’t hurt either. LOL)
Judith Shakespeare
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 13:35Oops! P just informed me that I spend like $45 on the Wexler serum not $20. I obviously make him go shopping for me A LOT, huh?

Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 9:56The cupcakes are beautiful and I love the first shot too
Judith Shakespeare
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 13:29Thanks so much!

Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 10:49LOVE these this week – btw – what is the antiance creme – I’m ALWAYS looking for something!
Judith Shakespeare
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 13:36Patricia Wexler’s Acnescription™ MMPi.20™ Anti-Aging Acne Serum. AWESOME. :)
amy
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 10:57love the pics. Um- talk to me about wexler stuff? I was thinking of buying some. Love it?
Judith Shakespeare
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 13:40Adore it. The first couple of weeks that I used it, my face went way wacky… But once it all settled down, I fell in love. Like more than chocolate and coffee love.

Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 12:34Ray is coming here, too. Mr Sir is going, but the damn kids are keeping me home.
Judith Shakespeare
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 13:46Ray. Sigh.
(Get thee a babysitter, love. Get thee a babysitter.)

Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 12:34Fabulous, I love the rose and the cupcake, yummmm! They’re all good!
Judith Shakespeare
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 13:46Thanks, honey!!!
Maria
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 13:35These are GORGEOUS. Do you use actions on your photos when you retouch them? The colors are so lovely.
Judith Shakespeare
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 13:51Thanks, honey! I used the “All in the Details” set from MCP actions in some of these (the rose and the products, for sure). Plus, I shoot in RAW, so that helps a lot in the processing.
Jeanette
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 14:00LOVE the bright cupcakes! Happy birthday to the little man!
Judith Shakespeare
Tuesday, 3 March, 2009 at 12:27Thank you, honey!
Colleen - Mommy Always Wins
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 14:23LOVE the iPod shot and the pic of the cupcakes. NOM!
Judith Shakespeare
Tuesday, 3 March, 2009 at 12:30They weren’t as appetizing as they looked, unfortunately. But, oh well, at least they looked pretty! Thanks!
cady
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 14:34i love the shots of the books and the cupcakes!
Judith Shakespeare
Tuesday, 3 March, 2009 at 12:37Thanks, cady!
merrymishaps
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 15:09Great shots. Those cupcakes look amazing! Yum!
I also love the iPod photo. After all these years using Creative mp3 players, I finally broke down and got a 3rd gen nano … about two months before the 4th gen came out. D’oh! (mine is aqua)
Judith Shakespeare
Tuesday, 3 March, 2009 at 12:38LOL. Your buying luck sounds like mine… Thankfully, I won this one on a blog contest last year. :) Had I not won it, I’d still be using a REALLY REALLY old one, I promise.
Smoochiefrog
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 15:29Double digits eh? Well I hope he had a very happy day!
But you can talk to me about feeling old when your oldest hits 17 like mine will in May. ACK!
Judith Shakespeare
Tuesday, 3 March, 2009 at 12:40Oh my… I can’t even imagine 17! :)

Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 16:14AWWW Happy Birthday to HIM and Happy Birth Day to you momma.
You do suck as a blogger (heh) But I love ya and I’ll take what I can get ;-)
Awesome shots, I love the rose and the cupcakes look like a card or an advertisement. I bet they were a PITA to clean up after, but totally worth it.
MWAH
Judith Shakespeare
Tuesday, 3 March, 2009 at 12:43Ugh. I can’t decide which was worse… the blue or the green icing. Both were a major pain in the butt to scrub off of the countertops. :)
suchlovelyfreckles
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 16:14Ugh, the rose! Love the rose. Very nice pictures. All of them… but the rose, totally gorgeous.
Judith Shakespeare
Tuesday, 3 March, 2009 at 12:44Thanks, honey! I loved how it reflected off of my table.
Vicky
Sunday, 1 March, 2009 at 20:24You may be an AWOL blogger, but you are totally there with the framing of these shots. They are wonderful. My favorites are the first one (It’s the Starbucks cup that really sells it for me) and the iPod (it’s the color contrast I love).
Judith Shakespeare
Tuesday, 3 March, 2009 at 12:45Thanks, Vicky!
Qweenie
Monday, 2 March, 2009 at 9:50WOW! Great photos…
Happy Belated Birthday B!!
As far as you being ‘old’ because your eldest turned 10, um no…..talk to me when all 3 are double digits! LOL
Judith Shakespeare
Tuesday, 3 March, 2009 at 12:47Well, dude, we already KNEW you were old. LOL.
And longtime no talk… why does it seem like forever since we’ve chatted. Calling you tonight (which you totally know means, “Please call me, K, because I’m a flighty ditz.” right?).
