Sammy was bossy from day one as you can see. It was right after Maggie died that he magically took on her personality. He became the sweetest, gentlest dog we've ever had. My wife and I couldn't understand what happened. It was like someone flicked a switch.
My little pork chop in her new thermal shirt. We would live in these if we had enough because its just so darn cold where we live. I guess I need to start making them for the whole family. Pattern is flashback skinny tee and fabric is from Girl Charlee. And, yes, those are cupids.

I found my old toys in a box and found this pretty ladies. My mom got them for me since I wasn´t that much into Bratz. My mom got me Babysitter Lana and Alicia 2-pack and the Passion Fashion Twin Pack so...
A year ago Monty underwent Cruciate ligament surgery on his back leg. He had totally severed his own ligament and had to have a synthetic one put in. It was probably the worst six months with a dog we have ever experienced. He could not walk for several weeks and had to be lifted up and down stairs and onto the bed. We also had to be concerned that he did not get depressed as he saw Abby and Sam go out every day without him. It took a full six months to get him back to the point he could go out with them. Thankfully the surgery was a complete success and he is back to his old self. Hopefully never again. I should also point out it cost a little over $3000.00 for anyone who finds themselves having to deal with this.
I'm not sure if this drawing of me as a teenager was meant to be an insult or not, but it is actually quite accurate. They got everything right down to my three foot tall platform shoes, Don King hairdo, and excessive facial makeup. (I was going through some difficult changes at the time.)
I was three or so when I as my cousin Nancy's flower girl. I remember being at the wedding. I am the youngest girl cousin by lots of years so I was a flower girl a couple of times. The theme for this week is fancy dress, so here is my cousin in her fancy dress and me in mine. I am pretty sure my mom made this outfit for the wedding. I especially love the lace apron and the knee highs. I forgot how cute knee highs could be on little girls. I remember being so excited and nervous to be the flower girl. I probably didn't have any job to do, just wear the dress, but as a three year old, standing next to a princes, it was Heaven.
Ah, FBF Jade. She was the first doll, bratz or otherwise, that I really worked on getting and had to track down. I overpaid for her a little bit, but don't regret it. She'd been hard to find, so getting her was a triumph for me. This was her display at the top of my bookself in my old room. She's not my #1 anymore, but she means a lot to me even still.

A little group at kinder, that's me in the blue dress. It's 1973 in Frankston. I wonder whether anyone else can recognise themselves in this photo.
It's January and Self Portrait Challenge is again looking back at the new themes from 2011 and combining two or more of them into a new self portrait for this month.
For now, I'm sticking primarily with some leftover ideas for December's theme, "Idioms."
Namely,
Balance the Books - to determine through bookkeeping that financial accounts are in balance.
vs.
Cook the Books - to falsify a company's financial records.
Besides the obvious Idioms, I'm saying that it qualifies for Literature.
Tiny Words works, I suppose.
The top image is Defying Gravity in a way.
Again with the top image, I'm saying that the Beatles Song, "Carry That Weight" works (or "Sure to Fall"). Surely there's a Beatles Song for the bottom image: "Happiness is a Warm Gun Book??" // "In Spite of all the Danger?"
My mom surprised me with a poster of me as a 5-year old flower girl! I think my hair was the same...

"...I was afraid to undress in front of him. I thought he wouldn't approve of my body. I thought maybe he needed a woman with curves. I took off my blouse and he looked at me. Told me I was beautiful. He said to me that my body would be in his thoughts forever, because I was perfect. And then we made love and we were happy. And we stayed in bed, just looking up at the cracks in his ceiling."

I was 14 here. My uncle took this picture of me in my grandparents' backyard in Jacksonville, by the pool. Yes, that's right... rather than, you know, swimming in the pool and having fun, I was wearing a plaid blazer and being bershon. I am pretty sure that was my grandfather's blazer, and I'd bet money that I was wearing it with shorts and either Birkenstocks or those burgundy Mary Jane Doc Martens. Ah, 14. At least I didn't get a sunburn in this outfit, I guess. :)
Takes us back to 2006. We are at the east end of the Bensenville intermodel yard. The pull back crew just brought the power over and after a quick marker test from mechanical, we will be heading home. 2 of SOO's finest SD60's are today's power for train 183. The 60's were good power for this type of train. Not uncommon to have a little over 4 hour trip between Chicago and Portage, WI for this train.
I often sit on these here rocks and look across the bay while pondering life's big questions: what should I have for dinner tonight, where will I be in five years time, how on earth do they expect me to pay back my students loans, et cetera.
