Incidents and accidents

My mother sent John and I personalized ornaments with our presents this year. We hung them on the tree side-by-side.. because we’re that sappy.

For all you photographer friends out there:
We’ve all see the PhotoJojo hearts in action. I wanted domething a little wackier…

Okay, so I’ve been so lax on updating as of late. I suck.

Work: My job has been going thrillingly well. I say ‘job’ loosely because it still doesn’t feel like I should call a year of self-employment a job. A job is something you do for someone else. This holiday season has been eating my butt though. I have a few things I need to do differently next year, but on the whole I’m pretty damn happy with my work for a year. In January, I’m changing pricing structures and adding a few new policies. I’m also headed to Imaging USA in Tampa for Jan 5-9, so I can go through the tradeshow and other kickass stuff. I’m going with a few photographer friends of mine here as well as meeting up with a few flickr friends there. It should be awesomeness.

Personal: I’m over my cold, but now poor John has it. On his birthday too. I got him some prints from the totally rockin’ Ursula Vernon.  John now has a copy of the years-coveted Edgar and the Ham Fairy, much to his delight. We also found out that she’s only a state away from us, but he’s reluctantly agreed that she doesn’t need a stalker. For Christmas, we’ve decided that we’re going to wait until afterwards and buy a Wii together. Yay!! I have to say, I’m tempted to buy a Tivo too, because Heroes has eaten our brains. We went though all of season 1 on DVD in the past week and I’m just dying for more. It’s free to watch on NBC, so we’re all over that once I finish work.

I have the crud. I woke up after only a few hours of fitful sleep with my mouth hanging open and dry because my nose is filled with boogers. I tried to go back to sleep, but not breathing isn’t healthy, so I said to hell with it and got up to take some pills.

I grumped around the house for a bit with some diet coke and cold pills, then I went to raise the blinds for the cat like I always do.

This is the sight that greeted my grumpy self, and I just HAD to grab the camera and snap one. Yeah, I may feel like boiled ass, but I got to see this, so I can’t complain too much.

Last one, I swear.

I haven’t had time to share!

The macbook got here on Wednesday, but it took me this long to remember all my UNIX days and figure out how to work everything. So far it rocks, and I know I have a lot more to find out.
