The Last Month (and a half) in Photoessay Form

[carrie_leigh]

Hi there, all! It seems that the month of September came to school, ate my lunch and then kicked my rear end like you wouldn't believe.  I can count the amount of time I had to spend on the computer in minutes per week, instead of hours.  It was refreshing, in its way.  Here it is in one neatly wrapped up post.  Ready?  Here we go.

You are ABSOLUTELY right - That boy in the #10 Uniform looks ADORABLE! I love it! I also love that he can rock a Dean Martin fedora and a Draco Malfoy smirk. The kid has skilz.

You're completely inspiring - just so you know. I loved your article (and had to share it on all my social media - because I'm one of THOSE kinda friends *g*)

[carrie_leigh]

I've missed you guys, too! Hopefully I'll make time to do this, too, now. I had lots of ideas for posts in the past two months, but never had the time, or energy frankly, to make it happen.

I love that .gif. JK's face as he goes down is hysterical.

[jandjsalmon]

It cracks me up too.

And I've been there on the not having the energy to post here - sometimes I just think that no one would even be INTERESTED in what I'm doing, so why bother sharing. It's the one reason I'm looking forward to November - because I always blog every day in November. :)

And HEY - I shared your article on my facebook and now you have other fangirls in Canada. *giggles*

I was pretty certain that life was eating you whole for ME to be more active on LJ than you were.

And man, what a month! I love it though - I mean, seriously, Carrie. You got A LOT done. That's amazing.

So funny what you said about your hair - I didn't notice any off the length. It looks gorgeous, as always. And hey, if you have some styling issues, now you know how the rest of us feel. :P

Wow, you are right about #10. What a cutie! Love your boys!

There's so much to comment on, I'm sure I'm missing things - oh! Your family visiting! How cool.

And alone time for you, and your article! I really, really love it and am going to have my girls read it. Congrats on that!

[carrie_leigh]

I KNOW, RIGHT? That's just crazy and not right at all.

Your mercy for my hair woes is too much. Stop. ;)

I've been thinking about you, lately. I'm writing a story for Interhouse_fest that features a bastardized version of 'The Blue Owl' pretty heavily. It makes me smile.

You are amazing. How on earth do you do it all?!! *bows low*

And no. 10 is super cute. :) They grow so fast!

[carrie_leigh]

I do it with smoke, mirrors, duct tape, bailing wire and a asston of eyeliner.

Yes, they grow entirely too fast. I saw your pic of Taara a bit ago; she's a heartbreaker, already!

Wow. And I thought I was busy. I totally loved catching up on your life. Your boys are adorable and you are inspirational. I think your hair looks wonderful. Always. Even in family photos and candid shots while working. (The latter being an awesome photo--I can just feel the onset of a panic attack.) I wish I could get mine to look so classy and luxurious sometimes.

Miss you, darling! (And your writing! I want to see more!)

[carrie_leigh]

Hee. You're sweet.

I'm working on my interhouse fic as we speak; from one of your prompts, I think. :D

[goeungurl]

Interhouse... somehow I thought it was a good reason to sign up for that too. >.< But you! (think) you took one of my prompts?! HEE!!!!! That's so exciting! *happy dance* Now I have something to look forward to for the month of November. :*

[heyurs]

Aaaawwwww! BABYYYY! I bet that was fun snuggling him up, huh? Love him and give him right back! ;D

Yup, it's official, you can't catch #10 anymore to sit on him. :( Darn that kid! Both of them! They have the nerve! *grrr*

The first thing I noticed was your hair. I always do. In that first pic, it is SO lovely. Tack that pic to your bathroom mirror, so that whenever you're having a bad day, it is there to make you happy. x)

Those pics you linked us to are AWESOME. I bet I would have cried my eyes out when that little girl sang her solo. WOW! Busy, busy, busy! You did some amazing work, Carrie.

oooooohhhh! Sunflowers! *loves*

Your article is great. Thanks for sharing. Sure have missed you, Carrie. This was great catching up. :)

[carrie_leigh]

It was. He's a sweetie. :D

I know. They're both totally unrepentant about growing up. Little punks.

LOL. See, I don't think my hair looks great in that pic. It needs to be brushed!

OH, MY. A LOT of tears were shed during that run. I was moved to tears every time I sat through it.

I heart sunflowers. So pretty.

I've missed y'all, too. That was too long to go between. Love ya, Ursula!
