My name is Aris. Aris is pronounced (heiress) and I'm not sure what the meaning is. Several years ago, when I was asked what my name meant, I replied that Aris was a Greek Sexx Goddess (what can I say I'm a romance writer). Unfortunately, my husband happened to be near, he looked over at me, rolled his eyes, and said very loudly "I wish". I've moved on to another story, which happens to be true. I was born in the seventies to a pair of hippies, real hippies. Having said that, I think I got off lucky with the name Aris. It could have been much worse, Fruit Stand or something like that. So, Aris it is.

~Random Pictures~

I have five million (that might be a little excessive) pictures on my camera—I will snap a picture of anything.  So I thought I’d go through them and clean them up. Here are some random pics I forgot I’d taken.
 
Watermelon Message: At the beginning of summer I distinctly remember asking my daughter if she could cut me a piece of watermelon when she was getting some for herself.  When she walked past me nibbling on a juicy wedge I asked her. “Where’s mine?” She replied, “In the kitchen.”
She’s a crafty one ;o)

 
Brave Waves: My daughter and I went to see the movie Brave and we loved Merida’s curls.
 
My daughter found a way to get Merida’s curls with a sock. Here it is on Pinterest. Her curls came out so awesome I just had to take a few pictures!!! Love her red hair…and no it’s not dyed…we get asked that all the time.

Bored While Driving: I traveled a lot this summer—all by myself so I got very lonely. I totally forgot I took these pictures and not even sure why I took them.
When the traffic wasn’t that busy I actually wrote on one of my books. With a pencil and a pad.
This was my fuel…those almonds are my favorite snack.
Not sure why I took this…I believe I was stuck in traffic for a long time and felt like I5 was taking a piece of my soul…

  1. I used to take random pictures all the time until my family did an "intervention."

    The watermelon made me hungry (it's my favorite fruit to eat during the summer), your daughter has beautiful hair, and I feel you on the I5. This freeway gets horrible around the L.A. area (not sure if you're in California).

  2. I take pictures all the time, of everything too! You can probably tell by my blogs. Always a camera in hand.
    Love your daughter's hair! That ts a cool way of making a bun with a sock! So you just do it up while it is damp?
    I swear we are sisters! I love almonds! There is always a pack of them in my cupboard! I like the roasted salted ones.
