I got a haircut: Sorry about my inability to master the look-at-the-camera-through-the-mirror-so-you-don’t-look-like-you’re-looking-at-yourself-through-the-viewfinder magic in the “after” shot, but it turned out that I had a bra hanging on the door knob behind me and this was the only shot where it wasn’t visible. Such is life. I don’t get my hair cut very often. Usually I [...]

And, being so hot you have to stick your tongue out constantly is pretty much the bees knees… But there is something eerily beautiful about standing next to quiet water on the cusp of winter. Everything with life burrows [...]

Back when I was traveling for work I would always be sure to pick up a little something for John while I was away. Call it love. Call is sugary sweetness. Call it a friendly little bribe for dealing with the dogs and the house and life solo while I was gone. Last week John was [...]

I think I am screwing my dogs up. I was about 1 inch away from Mickey’s face when I took this. He just laid there. He’s given up trying to get away from my when I’m in Crazy Picture Mode, I guess. I’m pretty sure dogs aren’t supposed to like it when you’re all up in [...]

We’ve already discussed what I think about Daylight Savings… But this time around it means I get to sleep MORE if I want to so feel free to scratch all that irate ranting from before. That was just crazy talk. I’ll still take the free coffee though.
