Many times, Zoe’s “babies” have the same ailments as she. Hoot has thrown up (as you all know) and had sore feet and knees (owls have knees?) and tummy aches. A few weeks ago, he got his finger caught in the tire swing s-hook just like Zoe did. So it’s not a surprise when she announces that one of them isn’t feeling well and then elaborates.

Yup. That’s our Christmas tree. We purchased a base for the tree this year that rotates the entire tree, slowly, allowing you to see all sides. For the first time, we put all our ornaments on the tree, and even bought an extra strand of C9 LED lights. Since my brain is now unencumbered by terms like “market capitalization,” I can think of things like, “Hey, wouldn’t it be sweet to slow the shutter waaaaaay down and get some wicked blur with those lights?” And since I don’t have to spend my evenings typing term papers, I could take the camera and tripod in the library and set up long-ass shutter speeds and play. Yes, boys and girls, this is what we call photographic fun.

Well, this is a most inauspicious start to our new-found freedom.

Tonight, after I picked up Zozer from school and drove us home, and pulled into the garage and shut off the car and reached around to unbuckle her from the car seat amidst her hat, gloves, Hootie, HeartSaysKissMe, and a book, we had this conversation:

I woke up at 5:45 this morning and smiled. Because the only thing I have to do tonight is laundry.

Well, given that he’s apparently had LASIK, it’s not like he can claim that he had misplaced his glasses and accidentally had “relations” with women who weren’t his wife.
Received this in the mail last night and cracked up laughing. I hate it when I spend gobs of money on a beautiful four-color-with-bleeds marketing piece and mail it out to a gajillion people, only to have my star endorsement (whom I’ve also paid gobs of money for) making headlines for not being able to keep his fly zipped.Question: Do you think the “friends” who told Tiger about TLC were his Vegas “friends?” Maybe a New York “friend?” Possibly a Florida “friend.” I’m going with the Vegas friend theory, as those showgirls are more likely to have had LASIK since glasses would totally mess up the line of their fancy costume headpieces.

I am working on the first of four rounds for my final project. Each round, in addition to a crapload of other work, contains a series of 10 Board Queries, or questions regarding the industry, financial statements, etc.

One of the best weekends I’ve had in a long time! A few highlights: getting to see people we haven’t seen in a loooong time, ditching homework for the entire weekend, riding our bikes and walking on the new stretch of Highway 40, fireworks (!) as part of this year’s Grand Lighting. I imagine that this is how great much of life will be in two short weeks when we are done with school.

It’s really quite sad when the extent of my photography has come to drinking my coffee from a mug emblazoned with the Nikon logo. Not quite the same as holding an actual Nikon, but at this point I will take whatever I can get.
