So as y'all can see, I'm still terrible at this updating thing. Averaging once a month is pretty pathetic, even for me. I just feel like I have no idea where the time goes lately - I mean, it's going to be October next week! Christmas is three months from yesterday! Where has 2012 gone ( Read more... )

So, I managed to do DITL last week! My entry is here if you feel like having a look. I had fun doing it, even if it's actually a lot of work to remember to take pictures of your entire day, and I might try it again next month. If nothing else, it made Olivia more interested in having her picture taken.

Speaking of Olivia, she's officially two! ( Here are some pictures from her birthday weekend, from my camera and my iPhone. )

I'm doing ditl today. How do people do this more than once? It's kind of a pain in the ass to remember to take pictures of my entire day. Also, the battery life for my new camera? Not very long. And then there's the likelihood that anon will rip my entry to shreds if I decide to post it. Charming ( Read more... )

So apparently I never update anymore, nor do I comment on anyone else's posts, and most of the time lately I'm ignoring the Internet altogether (apart from Facebook and email) in favor of reading a book or playing Words With Friends (I am officially addicted). Thus, an update ( Read more... )

First, ( some recent pictures of Miss Olivia. )

Have some photos! My sister Lise, her husband Jon, and my nephew Harrison were down for a visit for the 4th, so we had a very busy long weekend.

In the time that I've been away from LJ, Leo and Olivia and I have been on vacation to Charleston to see my family and get reacquainted with our roots. We showed Olivia where we grew up, we laughed with loved ones, we listened to the sounds of summer in the Lowcountry - crickets and cicadas and the sun setting on a busy day. If we're also friends ( Read more... )

So I've been not posting and not commenting again, what's up with that? I feel like everyone's just been so quiet lately, so I've been quiet, and not a lot has been going on with me anyway. BUT! I've come out of lurker-dom and friended some new people, so hi! Welcome. If you haven't found this post yet it might be a good place to start for some ( Read more... )

So, I have been absent. Let's rectify that without any blathering about how weird and difficult it feels to come back to LJ after almost a month of silence, shall we ( Read more... )

I am beginning to despair of ever making it out of the lease on this condo alive. Our AC died. Now, the only reason I'm not currently camped out at my in-laws' house or a nice, quiet hotel is because we're having a "cold front" down here in south Florida and we technically don't need the air conditioner running. However, it warms up again tomorrow ( Read more... )
