01.14.06 Good Weekend

I have had a really good weekend. Saturday, my mom came over and we sewed/worked on our quilts. I didn't get much done quilt-wise because I was cleaning my apartment while my mom worked on her quilt. However, I REALLY enjoyed the company and I got my apartment clean. The picture on the right is what I have done so far. Once I get all the little squares sewn together, the block will be finished.

On Saturday night, two of our friends came over and we went to dinner at the Clay Pit. I don't get to eat much Indian food; so, it was nice to have something different. I had grilled lamb and potatoes. YUMMY!

After dinner, we went to Club 300 and bowled 2 games. I'm not too good at bowling. The last time I bowled, my scores were 87 and 89. Despite my lack of skill, I still have fun. Last night, I bowled a 99 and a 137! I was proud of the 137. Here's a pic so it can go down in my blog history. I may never see an over-100-game again. :o) Yea, me!

Tonight, we are going to Dick's Last Resort to see one of our friends play in his new(ish) band. The last group he was in was a duo with his best friend. They were the best...VERY entertaining.

Other things I need to accomplish before tonight is over:

1. Finish my photo assignment from my photo class (I have 1 out of 8) and get the pictures printed.

2. Bake and decorate a cake for a co-worker's birthday on Monday.

Damn...I hope I get it all done. Looks like tonight might be a late night. ;o)

01.09.06 Photo Class

A few weeks ago, I signed up for a beginning photography class. The class meets once a week on Monday nights. The instructor is Michael Blackwell of Dallas Darkroom. I am really excited about the class and look forward to what I will learn.

We had our first meeting last night and I have to admit it was almost overwhelming. There's a lot more to it than you could ever imagine. And, we barely scratched the surface. However, once I get a better understanding of a few concepts, I really think (or hope) my photographs will start to get better.

I have a list of different kinds of pictures I have to take and turn in at the next class meeting. Maybe after I have them all, I will post them here. We'll see.

01.09.06 Blogger Blocked

They blocked Blogger at work. I did most of my blogging at work during my lunch hour. OK...I'll admit...I did some blogging not on my lunch break and on regular time. Guilty as charged. I promise to be good and only blog at lunch.

Think that will work?

12.6.06 Saturday Photo Hunt: Memory

Cameron and Mindy - Grand Canyon 2005

This was the first road trip my husband and I ever took together. It is one of the best vacations I have ever taken. We have many great memories of this trip and still talk about it often.

1.6.07 It's time to snap out of it

Well, I've had my time to sulk...now it is time to snap out of it and move on with my life. I apologize to my friends, family and bloggers that I have caused to worry about me and my well being. The last post concerned several of you...many of you called or emailed. I appreciate the concerns and love you sent.

I set a time limit on my sulking and told myself that at the end of it I would get back to normal...whatever that is. :o) So, here I am back to normal. Welcome back, me!
