It has been a good day.
It started by staying up way late last night and setting up the Juneau Life profiles all over the web. I awoke this morning with heather arriving around 10 am. I laid in bed a bit longer while we chatted about miscellany… Finally around 11am, we got up and moving. She cooked a lovely breakfast of banana-macadamia pancakes, eggs & bacon, and I tried to finish the final wrappings I had yet to do. Next we had some food around noon, and when finished, I jumped back to business with submitting a contest entry for the All Day I Dream About Photography blog, for a year’s subscription to Smugmug. I guess I’m one of 3 submitters, so we’ll see how I do against the competition. Here’s the full-resolution link, if you like.
We’ll also see if I can insert a smaller version in the blog entry to try to make things a bit more flashy:
Christmas Collage (Entry for ADIDAP)
So, theoretically, that image will take you to the jumbo version, but really, I don’t know for sure.
On with the day.
Next Heather & I picked up Shane and headed out to Mom’s house for dinner. She had cooked up a storm and had all the fixin’s. It was good. At some point through the night, Shane decided to get feisty with mom about a gun he left behind, and I stepped in and told him to drop the issue; I think he was upset about something prior and, it seemed he might have been disappointed by the gifts he received when compared to the items my mom got. We eventually gave shane a ride home and then went to see Seven Pounds with Will Smith; a very heavy show.
While I’m in that neck of the woods, I’ll see if I can articulate some of the items I received (and gave):
For me:
- two dress shirts, one had a matching tie
- dress pants
- pocket wizard plus (though it may require a return or a purchase of a second one to make it a useful tool for off-camera flash.
- a carhart zippered sweatshirt (though it’s a bit small, so will get a return)
- some tire repair kit pieces to patch bike tires
For other people:
- heather
- crash course dvd
- $1000 of chiropractic care
- custom photo-book of cherished memories
- personalized accents ribbon gift album (for jewelry)
- two (regifted) mugs and hot-cocoa.
- mom
- flat screen monitor
- mark kelley calendar
- crash course dvd
- allman brothers band chronology
- shane
- book on dreams
- earnest collection dvd
- 4 classic rock cds & cd case
- jason
- ribbon gift album (variety style)
- movie viewings (one card, one paid for tonight)
And I got some stuff for other people too, but I don’t really feel like chronicling the list now.
I think heather & i will be sitting down to do something else (or go to sleep early) so we’ll see where that heads, but for now, I’ll be signing off.
nighty, night.
