Never Lacking in Ideas

As I have previously mentioned, I have a knack for mentally starting a new project before I've even really gotten under way on my current one. So, naturally, as I start school next Tuesday I have spent a good part of today thinking about redecorating my bathroom. I tell you, a dreamer's job is never done.



*Please note this bathroom is not my bathroom, and has barely anything in common with my bathroom. Other than, you know, a toilet and a bathtub. Photo here.

One Day All My Dreams Came True...

...and my heart exploded into a million tiny joy-filled pieces.

Snow Day II

We're on snow day two after about a foot of snow fell here all day yesterday and into the night. Luckily we still have power, although our satellite is out. Our trees are still standing, although some of them are "resting" on the roof. Hopefully they'll bounce back when they aren't weighed down with all the white stuff. I'm regretting eating our last cans of soup on Tuesday though. Soup sure would be good right about now and I don't know if I have ingredients in the pantry to make any. Oh well. We've got mini egg rolls and buffalo wings in the freezer, I'm sure we'll survive, ha. Ran out and took some pictures real quick like this morning and then ran back in for coffee. It's cold! Here are a few pics, more here. I'll be back later today with the Friday ConeZone!

War Is Over

Yoko Ono and IMAGINEPEACE.com have made the famous "WAR IS OVER" poster available on Flickr in 65 different languages. Downloadable in a full 3000 x 4000 poster size, or smaller. I find them incredibly beautiful, especially looking at the collection as a whole. Here is a sampling. View them all here. Happy Christmas.

Finally got the film I shot in San Francisco developed, along with a roll started in SF and finished off here at home during a walk around the museums. You can see the rest here.

He's sort of getting used to the new house thing.

Vacation with a Capital V

We have our next vacation in the pipeline. We'll be headed to Washington DC at the end of May. This trip will be killing a lot of birds with one stone. With one simple vacation I'll be crossing an item off my life to-do list, I'll be working on two NY resolutions (to travel more and to cross of 5 things from that life list) and we'll be attending our wonderful friends' wedding while there. I miss Steve & Meri terribly and will be so glad to see them, even if it is for an event that won't allow a lot of visiting time. It's a very small wedding, so not so bad but we all know how hectic weddings can be. And Josh has already acquiesced to my need to jam-pack our few days with as much sightseeing as possible. There are so many places I want to travel to that when I get a chance to go I feel the need to see everything that I couldn't suffer missing, just in case I never get to go back. Because I always want to go back, but then there's always that growing list of other places to see, ha. I can't wait to walk the National Mall and see the Museums of Natural History and American History. I love to learn on my vacations and I can scarcely think of a better place for a homegrown educational holiday than our country's capital.

Pretty Pictures

It's getting late in the day, but I just had to share. Through an unrelated search I stumbled upon the Boston Public Library's Flickr photostream. I'm loving the photography collections, most especially the Abdalian Photographs. The winter scenes really put me in the mood for my busy weekend of Christmas chores and activities.
