A bit early, but it IS Texas, after all. I don’t mind, I love this time of year…
It means… buying new clothes (short/no sleeves!) in my favorite colors:
Flowers…
Of all different colors…
It also means rain, which is what is happening right now. But that’s okay too. I think even the rain can be beautiful..
Unless you’re trying to [...]

“And it’s been a long December and there’s reason to believe maybe this year will be better than the last.” -Counting Crows, ‘A Long December’
Happy twenty-ten!! I’m very superstitious about certain things, and a new year is one of them. I blame my mother, I think she passed along some of her superstitions about the [...]

Ah Christmas. I’m 27 years old and I still have trouble sleeping on Christmas Eve. Something about PRESENTS gets me excited.
When I went downstairs this morning, the stockings had been hung placed by the fireside with care.

Today was just one of those days where I was content to lounge around, reading. Not playing on the internet, not playing with the camera… I got sucked back into reading the Sookie books. If you’ve read them, I’m sure you may agree that they are quite addicting.
Anyway, I wasn’t in the mood to take [...]

I had been wanting to do a shot with Bay and her Santa hat for a while now, and today was the perfect day. She did not appreciate me getting all up in her face with my camera and the bell kept getting in her face or falling off her head… but a few treats [...]

First things first… I’m officially on winter break!!! No work for the next 2 weeks… ahhh! Not sure what I’m going to do though. I’m still debating if I want to go to San Antonio on Monday. I’m kind of not in the mood to spend money or drive all that way (3 hours each [...]

Four days of this week down, one more to go. The hard part is over – I’ve survived the last week of school with all its crazy chaos, the winter party has come and gone, I’ve packed up my little students and sent them off on their own for the next two weeks. Tomorrow is [...]

Wow, I just realized that yesterday was my 200th post. Time flies. That and I may blog too often. Hmmm…
Oh, big news for my camera today… Lola got a new strap!
Isn’t it pretty? I got it from My Funky Camera, I was stalking the website for a week because I fell in love with [...]

Been a while since I posted my 24 Days of Christmas pictures on here… I have a few that I’m proud of and a few that… well, ugh. Isn’t that always how it goes? Anyway, after today there are only 9 more days in this project and I’m starting to run out of ideas so [...]
