We get off work a little early today, which is awesomeness! I will head home to walk the dog, maybe run by the grocery store, and then pack up all the gifts and presents, board games, and whatever else strikes my fancy, and head up to Centralia later this afternoon for the big old family [...]

Resolutions, Review of Past and Future
December 30th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering
Well, so my project of quarterly resolutions might not have turned out as well as I hoped. I did get some stuff done, but I didn’t get all of it done. Stuff I Got Done: The roof is done. The roof is done! The gutters and the skylight were replaced! Woo! I have a good [...]

Holiday Celebrations Galore
December 29th, 2008 · No Comments · Holidays, Mi Familia, Travel, What I Did Last Weekend
This is the first time I’ve waited so long for a family Christmas celebration, and I have to say that I’m disappointed with how quickly the rest of the world dismisses the holiday. Trees are lining the curbs and lots of people have taken down their holiday lights. My family has always left all of [...]

Bethany and Family
December 26th, 2008 · No Comments · Mi Familia, Portraits
We’re making a habit of this! It’s amazing how much you can grow in six months, especially when those six months constitute a full third of your whole life. I did pictures of Bethany and her family back in June, when she had her first birthday, and now here we are, six months later, photos [...]

Christmas Eve
December 24th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering
It’s Christmas Eve! It doesn’t feel like it, though. Sorry. I am all befuddled because of how our plans have been made this year. We are going up to my parents’ house later today for dinner and then we’ll stay on for a little while. Tracy has to work tomorrow, and she’s acting like it’s [...]

Jonathan & Robin’s Family
December 24th, 2008 · No Comments · Mi Familia, My Family, Portraits
I’ve been so busy working on photos from my second session this month that I never got around to posting about the first session! But here they are- better late than never, right? My cousin married my sister’s all-through-college roommate, so I feel kin to both of them! They live in the Chicago area, and [...]

Happy Holiday Weekend
December 22nd, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering
I love having a productive weekend, I admit it. Even if most of the weekend is pretty lazy, I will usually try to accomplish something late on Sunday so that I go to bed with a feeling of productivity. My favorite thing to do on a Sunday is mounds of laundry, especially all the bedding. [...]

HI!!!!!!!!
December 18th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering
I’ve been lazy about posting this week and last week, and actually lots of weeks before that… I actually wrote a big old entry the other day, all about my damn hair, and then came to my senses and didn’t put it online. You should thank me, as no one in their right mind wants [...]

It’s fun to see the whole day put together! This wedding was in Palmyra, and the reception was outside Hannibal. I [...]

Christmas Music, Cards, and Cleaning; Synecdoche
December 10th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Movies, Music
Every year, it seems that I get particularly obsessed with one Christmas carol, and this year that song is The Donkey Carol, as performed by the Clare College choir under John Rutter. I think John Rutter also wrote it, but I can’t really find much information on the song or the lyrics. The embedded video [...]
