The light at the end of the... sidewalk?

Yay! Today was my last full day of work! I may be going in on the weekend to help out {sigh- when people call in sick over the holidays, I really think they should be reprimanded- it screws everyone over!}, but then I am OUT until early January. SQUEEEE!

Consumerist Overload

The holiday season sends everyone into spending overdrive. Even me. And I don't really buy many gifts.

Oh, but I do love to window browser shop. Etsy is a fav right now, even though I seriously don't need to buy ANY of this stuff. I still want so many things for myself and to give to others!

Project 365- Round 2

Sometime in October, my general interest in doing the Project 365 sputtered out. Looking at all those blank calendar spaces made me feel a bit hopeless, so I finally made a pretty obvious groundbreaking decision- I will start over!

I've been able to fill in from Dec 1 through today because, thankfully, I've been taking more pictures lately. Hopefully I'll be able to make it all the way through the end of Nov '11 without missing any more days!

Of course, I have to leave you with a couple recent pictures of the 2 critters who will probably get the most camera time. Enjoy!

Try one of these!

Practical and easy to use! Straight from the streets of New Orleans!

Blinky!

It must be December- bunches of homes in the area have pretty lights up!

Finally- I can listen to TransSiberian Orchestra's non-traditional holiday music again! My favorite is Wizards in Winter, which has a fun light show video on YouTube as well:).

A quiet morning

The morning cup of coffee has exhilaration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce. - Oliver Wendell Holmes

I'm currently reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. If you are at all interested in the history of medical research, this book is pretty amazing {and heartbreaking}. Highly recommended by yours truly.
