It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn…it’s 2010!

In the past, the prospect of a new year has brought hope, goals, resolutions, and clean slates. The beginning of this decade was inauspicious at best as I was laid up with a nasty case of strep throat. In fact, I was so under the weather that I actually forgot to bask in the novelty and freshness of not only a new year, but a new and promising decade. In order to regain that feeling, I’ve started a new project. I’m going to document what will surely prove to be a magical and glorious year by keeping a photo journal. Last year was full of changes, blessings, transitions, and missteps; however many of the details are muddy or forgotten. This year I will take a photograph every day and post it here with a brief description. Sometimes I feel like my life is a monotonous string of mornings and midnights, the hours in between being largely mundane and fleeting. But I know this isn’t true! I will seek out the blessings, the lessons, and the epiphanies and I will be grateful for them all. I once read that how you spend your time is how you spend your life. I want to make sure that I’m spending wisely and I want to remember, if not each and every moment, at least the notable ones. Dear friends, I invite you in for a peak into my world. It may not always be pretty or universally significant, but it’s mine…and that makes it worthwhile.

Happy New Year all!

*Note – I am not a photographer or the owner of a high-end camera.
The photo quality may be inferior, but the days these pictures represent are most certainly not.

February 10th, 2010 - Kerplunk'em


I made Todd watch American Idol with me tonight and he was just thrilled. ;)


So in order to amuse himself (and me to some extent) he added some witty, and oft times cruel commentary to the show. He’s sort of like Seacrest… only EVIL. Here are some of my faves:


"Your dreams are like a window being smashed in slow motion."
"Hello dreams (make a kcshhhh noise and mime breaking a stick in half)!"
"I hope she makes it so I can watch America shatter her dreams live on stage in front of millions of people."
"I like Big Mike."

He also passed the time by giving the contestants off-putting nicknames like Eyebrows, Pinky, Pat Benetar, and Bubbles. When he could no longer entertain himself with his clever observations he asked "Where's Kerplunk'em?" and set out to dominate the leader board once again.

Sigh…if only he’d use his powers for good.
