A New Year.

2008 has been a seriously eventful year! I've taken on a previous employer through the EEOC, started college after 17 years, and have grown so much inside. I am thankful for 2008. I look forward to all the challenges that 2009 has to offer, I will rise up to those challenges and face them head on. Classes start again on Monday for me and I'm looking forward to it. I may not write as much for the next couple of weeks because classes will be every day. But when I do write, I will have stuff to say...
I wish you a very happy new year!

Incredible sunset.

On our way home this evening from Brewster, I noticed the sun peeking through the clouds. It had been a rather warm day at 62 degrees and cloudy. The trip was uneventful other than arriving and leaving. For this I am thankful. Driving up the street to our house the change in the skyline was so dramatic and beautiful I had to capture it in sequence. For your viewing pleasure, I introduce the sunset.

Painful fun?

Ah, the use of oxymoron's in the evening... True though. The Wii has been the center of our attention this holiday. Last holiday it was the xbox 360. This year the whole family gets involved. Even me. There's bowling, golf, tennis, baseball, and my favorite game "Boom blox". This is a seriously fun game.
Do you recall the joystick for Atari, which just moved left right up down? Well, imagine holding a small remote like a tv remote, that knows how you move by infrared lights. Really cool.
I've kicked much butt on the blox game. Hence the pain. You really have to move around with these puppies. There's no simple left right up down. The faster you throw, it gets interpreted to the remote and hits the target faster, and therefore harder. My freaking arm hurts! I haven't worked that hard for a game since softball league, when I actually played softball.
I'm glad for the upcoming intensive Pilate's class. Getting toned up after all this time will help with a lot of things, like rollerblading, snowboarding, tennis, and basketball. Bring it on. This girls ready for some fun...

Xmas Day.

Love the dress,,,

Xmas 2008

Xmas Eve, Playing with my new toy. I love this camera~!

The Sony Cybershot with the 10x Zoom. I took a self portrait and regret the mess behind it...

Damn, I need a basement! Or at least more closets...

Holiday Joy

Merry Christmas!

I hope you are enjoying your holiday!
I am glad it's over. Now I can get back to the other things in my life that need tending to. I have to write a 10 page paper for the "Beacon" contest on the life and times of the hearing impaired. WOW. 10 Pages. What do you write about for 10 pages? I think that I would have to incorporate all of my previous papers into one huge one..
Time for a strategy.

Snow boarding

Did I mention I tried to get down with my bad self and do a little snow boarding yesterday? Turns out the board was in the shed. Which protected it for the summer - sort of. My pink flowers are no longer pink. I had thought I left it out of the shed for it to warp over the summer. Lucky me! No warping!

Did I also mention that my husband made a RAMP for the kids to go flying over with their sleds? I am a novice boarder (at best) and way out of shape apparently. Cause~ I could not, stay up on the damn board!
I think I was just too afraid of going over the ramp! I caught some loft shots of the boys and will share them tomorrow. Maybe I will get back on the board for xmas, and stay away from the ramp.
