today’s successes

March 24, 2009

1. Went to the dentist, and I have clean teeth and no cavities! 2. Bought these sunglasses at my brother’s store, which are really cute and 50% off: 3. Met with our wedding photographer and am this close to finally getting an album ordered. 4. Grocery shopping and laundry: done! 5. Joined paperbackswap.com thanks to the recommendation of my good friend Sara. It’s great! 6. Had a surprise visit from my father-in-law who brought me Coldstone ice cream, which completely spoiled my dinner but it was worth it. 7. Loved on my husband and my dogs. 8. Preemptive success: going to bed on time! I love my days off.

Wedding Pictures: Better Late Than Never!

March 23, 2009

Many of you have probably seen these pictures already, but if you haven’t I wanted to share them. The reason why they’re so late is because a) it took a few months for me to get the digital copies in the mail, b) then my website quit working, and c) since then I’ve just forgotten about it. My photographer was Christine Tremoulet. You can view more of the pictures on Flickr, but in the meantime here are some of my very favorites! (Legal stuff: all photographs by Christine Tremoulet.

The Case of the Missing Patient

March 21, 2009

It’s not ours to keep; we’re holding it for my brother David because he claimed it. But right now he’s living with my other brother Barry and a roommate, and the spot for the piano in their house is being taken up by a ping-pong table. They have their priorities, you know? Having this piano here brings back memories. My family and I actually lived with my grandmother for a few years when I was in elementary school. The piano was in her front room, too, which I always considered the library. It was quite a bit more…
