The death of summer.

November 29

We put up our Christmas decorations today as a family. It was fun to sit back and enjoy them... and I found a few cool angles to show off the new lighting! :)

The Ghost of Christmas past. ...A rare moment in my photography... don't expect more like this. ;)

After Thanksgiving dinner I was amused for quite a while with my grandma's kaleidoscope... oh the joys of being so easily entertained...

November 26

The only productive thing I did all day was make these amazing cookie sundaes for my family... and I didn't even have the appetite to eat one. :(

November 25

The boquet reject.

November 24

My mom and I went grocery shopping today. I always did like grocery shopping for some reason... I decided to be an annoying photographer and I took pictures of almost all the produce my mom bought. This one is my favorite. :)

November 23

Sunday dinner with the fam. Oh to be a family of 6 again... the prodigal child has returned for Thanksgiving break. :)

November 22

Homeward bound! Pretty low on gas but SO thrilled to be home for Thanksgiving break! Don't worry... as you may notice by the speedometer I was not in the actual act of "driving" when I took this picture. :)

November 21

...it's not what it looks like.... ...I was just cutting up a pomegranate, I SWEAR!!!

Our Culinary final went really well. Our Culinary class of 14 planned, cooked, and served a 4-course meal in a restaurant open to the public one night only! Great times!

Laundry day... ah.... I love that smell. :)

Malachi is another one of the kids I nanny for. He's 3. This is him pouting because he didn't get his way. It's pretty amusing to me that he always pulls this ostrich action when he pouts.

Confession: I sort of have this in-the-closet fixation with weddings... not with getting married, just with weddings in general. I keep wedding magazines and announcements and I like looking through them. ...kind of goes against the grain of my "hate appearing to be a typical girl" personality. Hmm. Oh well. ;)

I've always been kind of anti-Christmas decorations till after Thanksgiving. But my neighbors' door just makes me smile. They have their door wrapped in silver complete with twinkle lights and a wreath. It made my day.

9:35 a.m. My roommate Cheri insists on keeping this clock on our bathroom counter. Once I made the mistake of changing it to the correct time and almost made her later than normal. So the clock has to stay 10 minutes ahead... but she's still late most of the time. Well it has since been daylight savings so now the clock is 70 minutes ahead. She's still always running late. I don't really understand the logic in this plan.

November 15

Our living room is always pretty hectic, so sometimes I watch movies in my bed with this lovely setup. Yay for Saturdays and putting off homework for a while!

November 14

My little Tally-man. Me and the kids I nanny played outside today. Talmage was laughing so hard at the leaves flying I thought I was going to bust a gut laughing with him! Darling kid!

November 13

I have CDO. It's like OCD... but all the letters are in alphabetical order, like they should be. :)

November 12

...and I'm a Culinary minor.
This is just embarrassing...
But what's a girl to do when she has no time? Starve? heck no. Bring on the frozen dinner!

November 11

Just five more minutes...

Welcome to the chaos that is my homework.

Photo Journal Assignment

...and so it begins.

I've been given a two week assignment for my Photography class, for which I'm supposed to keep a Photo Journal. I'll be posting a photo every day that gives a glimpse into my every day life and a taste of what it's like to be me! Hopefully this will go on beyond when the assignment is due. I think this is a great project! Should be fun!
