Headed Out of Town...

... to San Francisco for my cuz's wedding.  But when I get back and get the kids in school, I have loads and loads to post.

I'm going to miss these little boogers.

A Very Bad Blogger

Whooooaaaa, its been a long time since I blogged. Long for me anyway.  I have a good excuse and its The Floor Refinishing Project From Hell which was followed by the Ongoing Clean Up Job From Hell.  What was supposed to be a 2.5 day refinishing job has turned into 11 days of going back and forth between our house and Grammie's house as the floors are stained, sanded, restained, resanded, re-re-stained, re-re-sanded and on and on and on... and who knew so much dust could stick to your walls?  I think we are finally back in the house for good now, although the couches in the garage, the coffee table in the kitchen and the dining room set in Emily's room will have to remain for a few more days until the floors totally cure.  Morale of the story... if anyone tells you refinishing hardwood floors is a quick and easy job- they probably have not done it before.

BUT... they look BEAUTIFUL now so I will quit the moaning and groaning... Yippeeee!!!!!!

Add that to one husband going back to work after a blissful summer off, four kids NOT in school, and some out of town trips and you have one photographer getting seriously behind!

Stay with me cause I have loads of sessions to post, plus some stuff from an AMAZING workshop I attended from the seriously talented and totally magical Barb Uil of Jinky Art!

Here's my boy. I pried the tie shirt off of him long enough to get some pictures. Actually he is doing well with the whole tie shirt issue... he is down to wearing it only 4-5 times a week and not 7. Yay!

5 Random Things About Yours Truly

1) I have a really big head.  When we were measured for our caps at graduation, mine was THE largest size they offered.  A little bit bigger and I would have had to go without...

2) I challenge you to find someone with a worse sense of direction than me. When Jesse was in graduate school, he had to practice administering IQ tests, so I was the guinea pig. He was practicing a test made for a pre-teen, so I was scoring pretty high in all of the categories (keep in mind I was a graduate student as well... this was before I lost 40 IQ points - ten after each kid), except my visual-spacial reasoning which was below average- for a PRE TEEN. Sad.

3) At this very moment in time, I'm crazy addicted to Words with Friends (i.e. Scrabble) on my iPhone. I hope it passes soon, because waking up and feeling the need to play at 3 a.m. is a little silly.  Reminds me of my Tetris addiction in high school...

4) I like my beer out of a can, my sodas out of the fountain and my milk straight from the udder (kidding on that last one, hahahahah!).  Jesse is flabbergasted by my love of fountain drinks and dislike of beer from a glass bottle.

5) I feel sad for men because they will never get to experience pregnancy or childbirth. They may be able to pee standing up (me=jealous), but they have no idea what they are missing.

And what's a post without a picture?
