Ramblings

I pass a beautiful church every day on my way home from work. Yesterday, I gasped when I saw how amazingly gorgeous the light was with the fall leaves. So, today I grabbed my camera and stopped by. I was thrilled with what I captured.

And this? This is my favorite.

Here are a few more.

Toby sleeps on my side of the bed. Between his wiggling and snoring, I usually spend a lot of time maneuvering around him and pretending Toby’s one big white-noise machine.
So imagine my surprise when Toby started off the night sleeping on Ed’s pillow…

…and was still there about 10 hours later when we got up.
I’ve known [...]

I am an editor. While much of my work is done on the computer, each month during the three or four days before we send the publication to the printer, I do a fair amount of editing with pen and paper.
I use green pens for my editing. Today, however, I had to dust off the [...]

In addition to not blogging much (at all), I’ve not been taking many photos. Last Saturday, however, I was suddenly all sorts of inspired at the Atlanta Botanical Garden.
When I finally got around to uploading them today, I realized that apart from one photo I uploaded to Flickr when Toby passed his Canine Good Citizen [...]

On this day in 2005, I e-mailed Ed for the first time. Basically, the e-mail said, “Do you ‘like me, like me?’” It also said, “It’s o.k. if you don’t, but I wanted to ask.”
I don’t have his response — or any of the e-mail from the time we were dating. But I’m sure you [...]

Ed is a HUGE fan of “Lost.” Me, not so much, though I did live blog the season finale two years ago.
Needless to say, Ed is camped out in front of the t.v. watching all seventeen four-and-a-half hours of the finale-night festivities. However, because of a DVR quirk, the t.v. changed briefly when the season [...]

Running all the way…

Well, it’s been awhile.
The big news is that I’ve taken up running. I KNOW! It surprised me, too. :)
On March 21, when I was horribly sick with a sinus infection and double ear infection (but didn’t know it yet), I was apparently also delirious and decided to sign up for the Peachtree Road Race on [...]

Today is my 35th birthday. This colored page from my 5-year-old nephew Francis arrived in Monday’s mail — the best birthday greeting EVER!

The phone rings at work. The name of the restaurant where Ed and I ate dinner on his birthday last May 30 pops up in the caller ID.
Me (answering phone, but thinking the call must be intended for another department, which sometimes orders food for meetings): This is Rebecca.
Caller: Hello. Is this Rebecca [last [...]

Remember that cruise I told you I wanted to take? Well, we got back from that 3-day cruise to the Bahamas yesterday.
It was fairly cold. I had goosebumps. A LOT.

But we had a GREAT time.

We went snorkeling in the Bahamas.

It was WINDY and cloudy on the trip back, which is why we’re wrapped up in [...]
