Travel: Florida, Florida, Far from Florida

February 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · Travel

Wow, we had such a great weekend in Florida. I have to be honest.  I did not have high expectations for Florida.  I’ve met a number of very nice Floridians, and some of them had just been… less than thrilled with their home state.  So it was never at the top of my to-visit list, [...]

Road Thoughts

February 19th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Links, Rants/Raves

After I wrote a post in January talking about how cheap the City of Columbia parking tickets are, and how they are a non-deterrent to me because of said cheapness, I got three parking tickets in one day last week, and I just paid them all.  I totally deserve them, because I just parked and [...]

Leaving Tomorrow for Florida Weekend

February 19th, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Travel

Tracy & I are headed to Orlando for the weekend, leaving tomorrow afternoon.  I have to remember to check in for the flight tonight because we’re going on Southwest and I like window seats. Neither of us have been to Florida since her parents moved there in late December, so this will be fun.  Also [...]

Tuesday Yawns

February 17th, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering

Yawn.  Tuesday. When Tracy leaves in July, I’m going to have to find some new things to do to get me out of the house and start being a little social.  I like the Jeff City Photo Club a lot (meeting tonight!) but I’m at the low end of the age range median by about [...]

Concerted Efforts

February 12th, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering

After weeks and weeks of inactivity, I posted over at my photo blog.   Like I said there, it’s not like I’m not doing photo stuff, but I just haven’t had any actual shoots in the past couple of months.  However, I have been working on photos and spending hours on a better backup system [...]

A New Website, and New-Old Photos from California

February 12th, 2009 · No Comments · From Flickr, Jeff City Photo Club, Nature & Landscapes

Well, a very happy and belated Welcome to 2009! from the Abbie Brown Photo Blog!   I know it’s been awhile since I last posted, but it’s not for lack of work!  I have been busy with photos in 2009, though I have had no new shoots.  I may have a few lined up in [...]

Erugh… No Longer Sick, Just Tired & Cranky

February 10th, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Movies, Television

Ugh, I’m recovering from a cold just now.  It was the fun kind that zaps a whole weekend.  I had to cancel a couple of plans- dinner with my International Center friend, lunch for my grandmother’s 80th birthday- and just sit on the couch with a box of Kleenex. I was disappointed to miss out [...]

I Was Not Ready for the Football

February 2nd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Endless Blathering

Tracy and I went over to my parents’ house last night to ‘watch’ the Super Bowl.  I think Tracy may have actually seen a few plays.  I couldn’t get into it, and read several magazines instead.  Then I combed through some old stuff that my mom kept (because my mom keeps everything!) to find out [...]
