I would post a photo of my little Superman enjoying the candy-coated festivities tonight, but I’m too tired and time-crunched to even get the pics off of my CF card right now. So, instead, please enjoy a lovely view of the Chicago skyline that I took last Saturday. Right before […]
Tired, tired, tired, tired, tired
I’m getting older. My recent birthday was proof of that. So are the multiplying, although not earth-shattering as of yet, wrinkles that appear when I smile. And when I don’t. So is the fact that it used to be quite easy for me to keep my weight in check and […]
What she wanted was for me to get that big flash out of her face
Still, she cooperated grandly. Unlike the cats who, after about ten shots, got tired of the flash lighting up the room and skedaddled.
Leftovers with a happy ending
On Thursday I had what I thought were going to be a couple of hot projects I had to rush home for. You know, the kind where someone calls today and wants it tomorrow. So I shagged out of my on-site gig right at noon and rushed home. I knew […]
All of a sudden I’m popular
I jest. Actually, I’m just amazed at the power of Flickr sometimes. I’m not a super-duper photographer. I’m a person who snaps photos. Some of which I have to admit I’m pretty proud of. But I’m in no way trying to earn money or recognition for my photos. So the […]

Lordy, lordy, looks who’s almost 40!
I’ve decided that ponytails really aren’t the most flattering hairstyle for me. But whatever. This is me at 39. I’m a bit tired. I’ve had a couple of stressed-out weeks. I’ve decided that none of it is worth my time. So I’m trying my darndest to be positive. Even about […]
I could hug her
Do you know what I love? When I’m thinking to myself that I’m having a not-so-great hair day and someone says to me, in all earnestness, “You’re hair looks very nice.”
Ahhhh…breakfast!
Toasted oatmeal with raisins and apples…and a Halloween napkin This was soooo easy to make. And soooo good. I used to hate oatmeal. When I was at Camp Merrie Wood, they had a rule in the caf. You had to take three bites of everything before you could leave the […]
