Early Christmas shopping

Every now and then, you stumble upon the perfect gift for that special person in your life that is incredibly hard to buy for.
I have found a gift that fits the bill for more than a few folks I know.
Where’s my credit card…I need to get a jump on my Christmas shopping for next year!

Just a day in the life

I have not been a good blogger.
I know that.
I know that you all sit there, with astute anticipation, waiting for my next blog entry.
I know that I have failed you.
But there is this little thing called life.
And it happens.
Daily.
And mine?
Well…it’s a tad crazy at times.
most of the time actually.
So, I’ll just bore you with a [...]

Playing with the new lens.

I have really been having a good time playing with my new lens.
I love how it works so well in low light conditions and now that I’m learning to focus it correctly…I think it’s working out!

That was….awkward.

He asked me: “Mom, [...]

All is right with the world.

Our sonic has started selling pickle-o’s.
That is all.

Birthday presents?

But enough about the king.
Uh-huh.  Thankyaverymuch.

Tomorrow morning I will wake up a strapping (isn’t that the word they use for fat boys?) [...]

The young and the weirdness.

So, I was making my daily rounds of the intrawebs today and I ventured over to the Pioneer Woman’s site, like I always do.
And I was reading this post about the photo shoots she had done.
She was talking about the, well…odd faces her baby makes when she takes his picture.
I can sympathize.
For some reason, possibly [...]
