Not Surprised

I just bought these boxes last night to help me in my quest to be organized (the $.97 plastic shoebox size seems to meet my needs very well).  It also apparently ”fits” Yummy’s needs, as well. I really wasn’t very surprised at how quickly she claimed these as her own. Whatever the diva wants, the diva gets.

Soft, Steady Snowfall

 This is the same bush as in this picture, but I took it tonight during another snowfall.  After all of the snow we have received in this area since December 1, 2007, it is very easy to get lost in how inconvenienced I am by the mess it inevitably leaves behind.  Yet, I just looked out [...]

Congrats!

About two months ago, Brad and I saw a movie called Once and although the dialogue was somewhat difficult to understand because of the thick Irish dialect, the music was awesome. We ended up buying the soundtrack and even made a copy so we could each have one in our vehicle.  Tonight they won the Academy Award for Achievement [...]

Recipe for an Ultimate Birthday Party

Two weeks ago, my friend Emily was in town with her two kids, as she and her family currently live in North Carolina.  We tried to schedule a time to get together, all four of us — Jill, Emily, Amy, and myself — and it just so happened that we were all available February 8, which [...]

Winter Wonderland

(This picture is actually in antique finish, but it’s really hard to tell. I’m still trying to learn how to use my new camera and create the best effect with my photos.)

 (This picture is in black and white. Also hard to tell because of the stark conditions today.  These trees are in our backyard.)

(I desperately [...]

White out

I was trying to think of how to categorize this post, because it’s rather vague, but also somewhat of a hot button issue.  I am entirely disgusted that the agency at which I work did not close due to the winter weather storm we have had since last night at 6pm.  Here is a picture [...]

It’s been a week, but here they are.

This is going to be a very brief post — mostly pictures — regarding my trip to Boise, Idaho, last week.  I was able to take some photos of the mountains from afar, and then zoomed in on them with my photo editor.  I was also able to spend quality time with the kiddos, and posted [...]

Are you ready for this?

I can tell by Brad’s nervous behavior and uneasiness that he is on edge not quite knowing what to expect from me in the very near future after learning this information today.  All I can say is that I am squealing with delight on the inside (okay, maybe a little on the outside, too, which is what [...]
