Oh, the Irony
In case you were wondering — because I’m sure you constantly think about me throughout your day — I’ve been very busy painting an office desk this morning. I tried to post a picture on the Domestiphobia Facebook page, but my POS phone hijacked it and now you’re just going to have to take my word for it.
But I will say, this entire furniture painting process has got me thinking that, when it’s not 105-degrees out like it’s been lately, this really isn’t such a bad gig. Much better than painting rooms, in fact. I get to wear my comfy paintin’ clothes, dig into a little of the gloopy stuff, and take satisfaction in the knowledge that I’m making something pretty and useful. On the plus side, my house doesn’t smell and my arms don’t hurt nearly as bad when I’m finished. This just might inspire me to give our hand-me-down bedroom furniture a new look…
Desk photos will come soon, assuming the decently cooler weather holds out long enough to add a coat or two of polyurethane to protect all of my hard work. That only means I need to get up at like 6 tomorrow morning to poly the desk before I head to Raleigh to shoot my pregnant friend.
Photographically speaking, that is.
That said, I will leave you with some more images from Malaga, Spain.
Because I miss it.
And I want to go back.
Cathedral
I could stand to live here… with blue shutters and flowers…
Ice cream and fountains. Does it get any better?
Apparently, it does.
Free tapas with every drink!
Street empanadas
*I decided to do a photo post thinking it would save time so I could get back to painting that desk and about 100 other things I need to do before tonight, but then I got distracted going through Spain pictures and reminiscing and Photoshopping and if anyone has a surefire guide to time management or… I don’t know… a hot poker could you please let me know?
Thanks.
See more Spain photos here, here, here, and here.

Katie! What’s up??! Obviously I havn’t logged into WP in foreverrrrr so its been a while. Hows my favorite titled blog comming along? Nice photographs here, Spain looks pretty sweet.
P.S. that can’t be the true color of the water in the fountain, can it?

Nate! I’m so happy to hear from you — thought the blogging world had lost you for good. It’s just the same ol’ same ol’ around here. :) When are you going to get back on your own blog??
And yes, that was the color of the water — though I’m sure there was some kind of treatment. (All I did was slightly sharpen the image.) But if you really want to see some stunning water color, check out some of my other Spain pics. ;)
What have you been up to?!
I wish I could say I’ve been living with a tribe in the jungles of South America where I had no internet access and therefore could not blog from my treehouse, but unfortunately my recent stories are quite boring and therefore I will save you the pain of reading through a long comment that has little or no interesting details. In truth, I’ve just been working full-time, with no time to do anything but play golf on my day off.
This being said, I’ve finally saved up enough money to make the investment in that SLR camera (go Canon! :P ) that we talked about oh so long ago, and once 3 more months pass I’ll be hitting the road once again, camera and all! Come the end of November I’m heading down to Peru for the 4day/3night trek to Machu Picchu and after that I’ve left myself a good week to explore the surrounding areas and take an epic looking 21 hour bus trip through the jungle for a little extra adventure. I’m super excited to get out there again!
Checking out the rest of your photos from Spain is a must and I certainly will. Good talking to ya again, we’ll be in touch for sure!
Woohoo! (Though still disappointed you’re going Canon. ;) Be sure to get a great wide-angle lens for your trip — I’m so insanely jealous! Machu Picchu has been high on my list for a very long time.
I hope you pick the blog back up when you start your trip — I’m looking forward to following along! :)
Oh I love Spain. Did you go to Seville too?
Unfortunately, not this time. Just Malaga, Formentera, and Ibiza. But I would definitely love to go back!
Very nice photo’s you really did have an amazing trip. Wonders where your going next ….. Sooo how how excited are you to be getting out of bed that early just to paint before your busy day ? lol I bet the results will be worth it though.
I wonder where I’m going next, too. :)
I was not excited at all. And I also didn’t end up getting up that early, lol. I put on a 3rd coat of white this morning, so I still need to do the poly. Ah well, I hope you’re right and it’s worth all the work in the end!
Keep sharing pictures…I love these! Have you set up a Flickr site? Would love to go check them all out. You take such nice pics … doesn’t hurt that Spain is beautiful :)
You know, I actually do have a Flickr site and it has like 6 photos on it. Just seems like one more thing to keep up with… but you’re right — I should probably have them start hosting my images. :)
Love those pics of Spain! Free tapas with drinks? Heaven! Thanks for sharing.
YES! Every restaurant had olives, but this one actually brought out a whole plate of food for the table every time we ordered a drink. It was pretty much Disneyland for me.
beautiful!!!!
ugh. i miss traveling. it’s kinda hard when you don’t have a real job. can’t really go jet-setting when i’m not sure if i can pay my mortgage.
but yea, i suck at time management. i’m supposed to be “working” right now actually
Yeah… THAT’S why you get married — so he can pay for trips to Spain. ;)
