Yes, that’s her handprint. Yes, it appears she has only three fingers and a thumb. Judging from the other turkeys I saw, the pinky was supposed to be brown. Maybe she didn’t like brown. Maybe she was being proper and had her pinky raised. Maybe she knows the aesthetic rule that odd numbers are more visually pleasing than even, so she decided her turkey would have only three feathers instead of four.

Zoe informed me today, with a very serious demeanor, that her big toes are toes, while all the other ones are piggies.

Shot some gourds today. Way back before Halloween, when we took Zozer to the pumpkin patch, I purchased four interesting gourds to photograph. They’ve pulled double duty by serving as fall decorations on our buffet in the dining room, and finally today they migrated to the darkroom.

So as I was not drifting to sleep last night (I seem to be battling insomnia again these days), I was thinking about the blog and what I’ve posted lately, and I’ve decided I’ve become one of the most boring bloggers on the planet, due mainly to our having started grad school.

We had a conference call tonight with our professor, where we were put at ease over several homework problems and the pending mid-term. I must say that I’m damn tired of shelling out hundreds of dollars for graduate level text books and finding errors in them. “Oh, they forgot to update the answer key when they updated the edition. So sorry. Hey, look at that! Turns out you did it right after all. Wish you had some hair left. Tough luck, eh?” Um, yeah. How the hell am I supposed to learn when it appears that the authors are pulling numbers out of thin air for the answers?

I am so hungry. Starving, really. This despite having a nice bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios, a few cups of coffee, and a “breakfast cookie” made by my aunt.

Today I had the singular pleasure of participating in an e-mail exchange with a client who has, apparently, no concept of what is really important in the world.

This is my husband (on the left) and my brother-in-law (on the right) and their neighbor’s dog (in the middle) many, many moons ago. Aren’t they cute?

The weekend was a whirlwind of activity, namely, the wedding of my cousin Michelle. Zozer was the flower girl, and did a phenomenal job of refusing to walk down the aisle (to the point of planting her behind firmly on the floor) and was therefore carried by her father. Who looked quite handsome as usual in his black suit. The big joke was that his name wasn’t in the program.
