Since I’ve been taking a bunch of pictures lately and I really love my new camera I have decided to start photo blogging. Little bits and pieces of my life through pictures. I am not one of those trendy photo bloggers that have those awesome shots of their french press on their 1950′s retro kitchen table. I don’t have a bicycle rusting in my backyard to pose by nor do I have neat backyard get togethers with fire and guys with beards and tight plaid cowboy shirts.
Here’s what I do have:
A rug that needs vacuumed a lot
A lot of animals that I am always feeding..I swear they stalk me
Laundry that piles up
Arts and crafts that I enjoy doing
A nice backyard with pigs and dogs and red adirondak chairs
Nothing spectacular for dinner when I am too tired to cook
This is what might be a part of dinner
Here is my artsy geranium picture
My kitchen table doesn’t have anything cool on it like fresh flowers and I am a florist. Right now it has Mr. Ropey, dog food for guest dogs and other stuff
So there you have it. Hopefully the pictures will get more interesting the further I go.

John and I adopted a new dog. His name is Stewart. He is a beagle mix with a black and white body and little dalmation pokey legs. He is the same age as Henry so they will be little old men together.
There have been a few dog fights as Henry has been an only child for so long he has territory issues. He’s getting over it and Stewart is luckily pretty passive so we get by. I did break up a dog fight the other night and got bit in the process. I am not sure who did it because it happened so fast but I think they both felt bad about it because right after they were loving on each other and giving me hugs.
I love dogs.
Here is a link to the shelter we got Stew from. They are good people and really care about their fur babies.
Here are pictures of an afternoon in the yard

Being fat is the worst. Especially since all your cute clothes are from when you could fit into them. I know some people that refuse to buy “fat clothes” because they feel that it is giving in to their fatness. Giving it a reason to be. In the meantime they are reduced to wearing whatever was in style the last time they were fat. I am in this position now.
The last time I was thinner was when I lived in Portland some 3 years ago. Jesus, has it been 3 years? Anyways. I worked hard at getting in shape by smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes a day, taking Henry to parks and going on extended walks and only eating one meal a day usually consisting of vegetables. I looked fabulous and I had cool hair.
I have since quit smoking and have taken up drinking a little more than I should. I don’t mean I’m going out to bars and stuff, I am merely filling the void by having a glass or 8761231 before bed. My other half and I have also been eating at restaurants for the greater part of a year. Bad idea. I have always been relatively poor so going to restaurants for me was few and far between. This was helpful to my waistline. I think I am being far too indulgent with myself. This is not helpful to my waistline.
I have lost all sense of looking cool. I got rid of all my fat clothes when I was thinner last time. I vowed to not let myself get fat again. I am a liar!!! I used to have a beat on what was cool, marched to the beat of my own drum. Up here according to John I look like a “freak show”. This might be because of my platinum blond hair in a sea of brown or my insistence on wearing Converse in a land of Uggs. I don’t know, but I need to get it back.
I have a closet full of cool shoes that need to come out again!!
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated..

I used to take all kinds of pictures. I used to be really good at it. John got me a cute camera for my birthday. I used to use his digital SLR but it was too bulky for every day use. These are some pictures from Savannah. John took some and I took the cemetery ones. Enjoy..
I should have taken more pictures of the beautiful downtown and some of the historic homes but at the time I didn’t think they would represent as well in photos as they really are in person. I think cemeteries are easier to photograph. Bonaventure reminded me of Highgate, in England. The statuary in both places are just stunning. The trees of Savannah make it sad and magical..
