I’m around

I’ve received a few emails asking where I’ve been and why I have become so quiet in the last little while. The quick answer is “I’ve been busy” but really that is more or less a cop out statement. So instead of just saying “I’ve been busy” I’ll tell you a little bit about what I’ve been doing this past month: London is calling A few weekends ago we headed down to London to celebrate Gary’s mom’s birthday.

My first snowflake of the season

This morning I woke up early so that I would get to work before 10:00 am. Mind you I can start at 10:00 but we have plans tonight and I wanted to leave at 5:30.

Nice and relaxing weekend

This is the first weekend in a long time that I haven’t worked. I’ve been tempted but I’ve held strong and have reminded myself that I need some downtime. I had big plans this weekend…doing some stuff on Gary’s site, my site, processing photos from the Festival of Fear and I’ve done none of it. Sitting in front of the computer this weekend was not something I wanted to do. Instead I’ve been watching episodes of Big Love and Neverwhere. I’ve...
