February 2009

A couple of things…
1. Last week I blogged about the daffodils that are springing up everywhere in our area, a sure sign of spring. The next day, I got an e-mail from someone who had seen the photo on my Flickr photostream and wanted to put the photo on his blog that focuses First Daffodils [...]

Between the craziness of December (which has nothing to do with the holidays for me), my company’s annual conference in January, the dreariness of the winter landscape and a good old-fashioned case of the Winter Blues/depression, the camera’s barely gotten any use in months.

So I’ve been at Blissdom the last couple of days. I’ve had a wonderful time and met a ton of cool people. I’m bringing home about 35 business cards of other bloggers, which seems like a pretty good number for someone who is (believe it or not) a bit shy about going up to people [...]

Because I like to start posts with a photo whenever possible and because my husband tells me no one needs to see a photo of my miserably raw nose, we’ll start with the dog’s health update.
The photo was taken late this afternoon. At a vet appointment, the vet confirmed what we’d been suspecting for quite [...]

Over at MckMama’s blog is Not me! Monday, where we share with each other all the things we DIDN’T do over the last week.
For instance, I did NOT go to Chicago for work. My first night there, I did NOT hurt my foot while walking on level ground. Two nights [...]
