Rocky Mountain Christmas

We're off to Colorado. This is what happened last time we were there for Christmas: Tom Dixon dug a snow fort and we all watched. And speaking of Colorado, I have been totally converted to Christmas music by Michael's annual playing of John Denver...

Haircut

I don't get my hair cut nearly often enough. There's always just other stuff that needs doing more. I can't replicate what John does, so I took photos for you all to see because it won't look like this until next time. I'm angling my head around ...

Smelly Presents

The teachers in my program exchange gifts. The first year took me unawares. Last year I forgot. But this year I was on the ball. In return, I got a haul of candles. Don't get me wrong, I love candles. I usually light one when I'm having a bath....

Interim Pants

You have to be crazy or desperate to go clothes shopping at the mall the week before Christmas, but that's where I'm headed shortly. I'm currently well over my maximum allowable weight, and since I hate shopping and tend to do it only as a treat w...

Go Tidy Your Room

Much as this mess isn't ideal, there are many more pressing things to get done. Homework, music practise, karate, eat dinner, read, play. Plus it's not like the rest of the house is especially orderly. So I guess this is a battle I'm just not goi...

Forty

Last Thursday was Michael's birthday. He's been whiskey-curious for a while, so I got him a bottle of 12 year-old scotch. It was a speyside, which I've been told is a good "beginners scotch." It sure was tastier than the blended Canadian whiskey ...

Weaponized

nobody@vox.com(My name isn't really Sandy) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 09:37:52 -0800

I found the computer-camera cord in my desk at work. Now that I am the highest level of color belt in Tang So Do karate, I'm finally considered coordinated enough to handle a weapon. (Tang So Do is an open hand style, and not big on weapons gene...

Technical Difficulties

Does anyone know where I put the cord to connect my camera to the computer? Seems I'll have to go to the archives to give you all something to look at while I search for it. So, here are two pictures from Colorado, Easter 2006. Oh, and in the ...

Halloween

Ella was Cleopatra for Halloween. I had to talk her out of the French maid costume. I took this while she was getting ready for the parade at school. Maybe not the best photo for showing off her outfit, but I was fascinated by those vocabulary wor...

Reading

nobody@vox.com(My name isn't really Sandy) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:46:46 -0700

OK, so where am I at with the reading thing? It feels like I slowed right down over the summer, thanks to a couple of books I had trouble getting through. A while back I read the first Percy Jackson and the Olympians book, and declared it ok, bu...
