Working. Having some fun. Exercising. Playing Scrabble. Reading. That pretty much sums it up for now!

Happy 28th birthday, Les! Hope you have a fun day!

This is a picture I took over July 4th weekend. I really like this because it gives you a glimpse into life standing still. In an instant of pressing a button, sometimes you’re lucky enough to capture a moment in time, where all that exists in the moment is pure joy, elation, fun, and feeling carefree. Without photos, I think sometimes those things are easy to forget altogether.

Consider this your reminder to have some fun and not take life too seriously!

So, what’s up? Have a good fourth? The above is a photo I took from this weekend. You can see the rest of them on my Flickr site, if you’re interested.

This past weekend was much needed. I got some Bean love, which is always welcome, and of course, my Feesh is as cute as ever. He’s such a smiley boy. Les and I hit up the movie, The Strangers. Lots of suspense and moments where you want to defecate yourself - totally my kind of movie! Les and I are the same, in that we both love movies that are sure to guarantee a heart attack before the age of 35. I would have dragged Garret to the flick, but he’s not into those kinds of movies.

Oh, yeah. I realize that I haven’t been all that forthright on what’s been going on in my life as of late. The lack of posting is mainly feeling like I haven’t had much to write about lately, here. I thought about blowing this place away a few times, but then can’t bring myself to do it. So, rather than have it sit here, dead, collecting dust, why not write? So I’m kinda launching into the middle of whatever’s going on in my life right now, minus the fluff. So, to catch you up to speed: Garret is the boyfriend, from Montreal. Garret, everyone, everyone, Garret. He’s been one of the better things happening lately, even though he kicks my ass practically every time, in Literati. (It’s like Yahoo’s takeoff on Scrabble, in case you didn’t know.)

By the way, who the hell would have thought “ricer” and “riciest” are words? According to dictionary.com? They are. What a load.

The other thing is possible permanency at Symantec. I’ve learned it’s been put on hold temporarily, but will happen hopefully sooner rather than later. This place has probably been one of the better jobs I’ve ever had. The environment’s great, the job’s fairly interesting, and I dig the coworkers. No complaints, really.

Can someone figure out how to magically make five weeks go by quick?

I’ll leave you with one last hilarious photo:

Bean and I were hanging outside, and he informed me he “wanted new ears.” This is what I got. Love it! He’s such a sweetheart. He gave me a flower on our walk back from the parade. He told me that he wanted me to have it because it’s pretty. What do you say to that? All I could do was beam from ear to ear. He’s going to be a heart breaker, that one.

That’s all I got for now. I’m going to try to be better about writing. Make it a daily thing, hopefully. If it’s not a reasonable length of time, feel free to kick my ass.

Happy anniversary (and a week late, because I’m a jerk and forgot) to my gorgeous sister, Leslie and her oh-so handsome husband, Nathan. Here’s to many more years of happiness n’ stuff!

If you would pray for my Uncle Bill and family, I would appreciate it. He’s not doing so well, and needs all the good vibes he can get. Thanks.

Decided to be a little proactive this weekend, and created an online shop for my photography! Swing on by, lemme know what you think.

Or buy. You know. You can do that, too.

Me: Now you have to tell me something in french.
G: Hmm. Ma petite chou.
Me: What’s that mean?
G: My little cabbage.
Me: Your… cabbage?! What is that, like.. ‘Tell me something in french. Oh, okay. Umm.. The pink flamingos fly out at midnight!’ ? BWAHAHAHAHA!
G: It’s a term of endearment in french.
Me: Well, I kinda blew that moment, didn’t I.

Just letting you know I’m back from Montreal, and I wish I wasn’t. Happy soon-to-be Wednesday! More later.
