It’s a Shrink-a-versary Extravaganza

We interrupt this computer hiatus for a very important announcement:
WE’VE BEEN SHRINKING FOR A YEAR!

I seriously cannot believe it’s been a year since I’ve joined up with this amazing group of people.  They’ve been encouraged me during my up times and supported me during my down times.  They are truly, TRULY amazing.
To celebrate our 1 [...]

Better late than never?

That crazy internet addiction is rearing it’s ugly head again!
I had every intention of participating in TV Turnoff Week in September by turning off my computer for a whole week, but I guess I was too busy playing online solitaire to actually put it on my blogging calendar.
So, except for businessy type stuff,  I’m stepping [...]

Stained Glass

Yesterday, I had a day.
I was grumpy literally from the moment I rolled out of bed and pretty much stayed that way until late into the evening.  We were busy all day long and I felt like I never really had a chance to catch my breath. I was short with Dave, yelled at Jacob, [...]

A few choice comments…a few things learned

This past weekend, we made the 11+ hour trip from Home Sweet Home to Dave’s folks in Illinois.  Round trip, we are looking at nearly 24 hours of the 4 of us either in a car, in a rest stop, or in a restaurant.
That’s nearly 24 hours of blog fodder, folks.  Here are the highlights.

You Capture – Still Life

Despite Beth’s advice, I stressed about this one.
Then I was taking pictures for a recipe I was making. Still life.
And then we went to the pumpkin patch. Still life.
Really, still life is everywhere.  You just have to open your eyes and see it!

Another first!

Tomorrow, we are headed to Illinois.
While this isn’t the first time we’ve been to Illinois since we’ve moved to Maryland, it IS the first time we’ve driven straight there without breaking up the trip.
We usually stop in Ohio…6 hours from Maryland to Ohio…7 hours from Ohio to Illinois.
This time, we’re barreling through.
It should be about [...]
