How lame am I for not posting in FOREVER?! I finally decided I would like to start taking some quality pics of my kids again and really figure out this fantastic camera of mine. I did good today and it definitely inspired me to do this more often.

These are by far the oddest restroom signs I've ever seen, courtesy of SMU.

This was the coolest sunset I'd seen in a long time, but in accordance with the laws of lame photography, I only had my phone with me at the time. The whole sky looked was full of rays of sunlight like the ones that peek through the clouds.

"Dear Mommy,

Do you want to play something?

PS - I ♥ U"

I can't believe he's old enough to write all of that

and pass me a note.

I miss her cooking, and her giant hugs that squeezed all the air out of your chest. I miss her dresses and pantyhose - God, that cracked me up when I was a teenager. I miss her plastic covered furniture, her German lithographs, and her slippers. I miss the way she used to yell at Grampa, and I'll bet deep down, he does too. I miss her stories, her history lessons, and her preserved fruit plucked out of the orchard in the back yard. But mostly, I just miss her. And I wish I could turn back time today.

My friend and I used to joke about whether or not we were actually the same person, and whether we'd only cast one shadow if we stood together. Now I have evidence that we have separate shadows, as his is holding mine up with a marshmallow gun!

This is a crappy picture, but I could barely sit still long enough to take it. I found the Portland ASEH conference schedule on the website and assumed since I hadn't heard back from them that I wasn't selected to present. That is, until I scrolled down two pages. Funny way to find out you're in the big leagues now!

That's me and my paper - my thesis, my baby - on the official schedule. If I could virtually insert *me, freaking out* right here, I would.
