trick. or. treat.

hope your halloween was spooky and fun and safe. and that you dug out all the good candy for yourself!

birthday wishes.

little one is turning seven today. seven? is that possible?

i remember bringing home this little bundle from the hospital.

the way she never cried or squeaked or caused a fuss. i guess she's making up for it now with singing at the top of her lungs. laughing and squealing and enjoying herself.

oh yes. and loving. loving justin bieber. save us all.

happy birthday kiddo!

puppy love.

so sweet.

the one with the waggly tail.

look who joined our little family today.


she weighs all of a pound is full of energy. and is a little ball of fur. she doesn't like her leash or collar. loves to chew on fingers and give sloppy kisses. we love her already.

gone.

i know. i've been gone for awhile from this space.

it's not that i meant to. but. well. summer and back to school. and sports and dance and technical issues got in the way. big. technical issues. like my apple shriveled up and died. dead. went to the great place in heaven where all good macs go to spend their after life.

yes. it died.

i fought with it for a good month. encouraging it. pleading. begging. please. please. please. turn on. but it wouldn't...it would only spin in a circle. and make a horrible noise. worries. so many worries. would i lose all my files? (no backed up). all 28,000 of my pictures? (i know. i know. I need to delete). no. also backed up. so after a it went away. to get evaluated. fixed. but then the diagnosis. and then another diagnosis. and then it came home. never to work again.

so the process began. what to get. what to replace it with?

i wanted the 27" monitor. he didn't think i needed it. we compromised in the end. got the 27" monitor and the magic trackpad. so much better than the mouse.

so. there will be no new shoes. this fall. or purses. or whatever. but there is a new member of the family in the studio. that's it for now. i'll be catching up over the next few days. all those fun summer memories, right? but for now. let's just say hello...
