I thought I’d share some of the pictures I took this week since I haven’t written much. The one at the top is of the hippos at the zoo. ^_^

Doodle kitties
Today has been a long day and I can’t think of anything interesting to write, except that of everything on my “to do” list, the only thing I accomplished from beginning to end was pulling some cash out of the ATM. Seriously, it was that bad. I’m going to have to try again to do…

Random thoughts on a Wednesday night
I like manatees. I also like lots of other animals. In fact, I’ve noticed that whatever animal I’m observing at a given moment could possibly be my “favorite.” But if I had to pick… big cats are awesome. Tigers. Lions.

Giant Waterslide of Winning
You know how sometimes things seem like a good idea at the time and then in execution just don’t work? And then there are times when the idea works so much better than you could have anticipated.

Friday night zombies

My life in movies
You can learn a lot about a person from the movies on their shelf. For now let’s take a little trip into the movie shelf in my head. Films That Remind Me of Childhood: Back to the Future is still the first movie I can remember seeing in theaters. My “first movie” was Follow That…

Twelve Trivial Traits
I have been challenged to come up with a list of a dozen things that you may not know about me and post them here. This is difficult for me as half of my readers are probably related to me… but I’m going to try. So here you have twelve mostly useless things to know.…

Accidental Debut
A funny thing happened to me the other morning. On Thursday evening a new-to-the-ship friend emailed me to ask if I wanted to join her for “something fun” on Friday morning. As she’s a professional photographer, I thought it must be something along those lines; maybe she needed me to help her carry equipment or…
