• Retaliation

  • Yep, it snowed. Again. In Dallas. On the first day of spring.
    Earlier today, Izzie and I were out for our morning walk. Here’s a picture of her looking for the perfect spot. She wanted to let this winter weather know exactly how she felt about it.

• A One-Man Polka Band Makes Everything Better

  • It feels like forever since I posted, but it’s really only been a few days. My website has been acting odd lately, but the good folks at Media Temple have been on it since last week. Can’t say enough good things about those guys.
    In the meantime, here’s where I’ve been:

    Is that a one-man polka band, [...]

• A Page Turner

  • Oh yeah, she couldn’t put it down all weekend

• Just This Once

  • Sometimes I wonder if I’m spoiling Izzie too much by letting her sleep in our bed.
    …But then there are mornings like this when she’s curled up like this with the sun streaming in the windows from behind, and for a moment I think, ok, just this once.

• Somehow An Exclamation Mark Just Doesn’t Cut It

  • YES!! That’s right! I’m an official member of Jen Martakis Designs’ creative team this year (Visit her blog or browse her online store at TwoPeasInABucket.com) I’M SO HAPPY–I noted her as one of my favorite digital designers at Two Peas a few months ago when I first started exploring digiscrapping and now I [...]

• Canine Ambassador

  • Yesterday I was at my parents house for an extended family dinner. While I was there, I discovered that one of my aunts was terrified of dogs. Like paralyzingly terrified. For as long as my parents have been throwing parties at their house (with their two dogs walking around) we had no idea she had [...]

• SNOWMAGEDDON!

  • After last night’s tumble down the stairs, I was SUPER prepared this morning when I took Izzie downstairs. Honestly though, NOTHING could have prepared me for what I faced. Our stairs had been covered in MOUNDS of snow that literally filled the gaps between each step. Initially I tried to kick the snow off each [...]

• The Only Thing Better Than Snow Is Eating It On the Way Downstairs

  • Yep, that’s right. I experienced the snow flat on my butt, sliding down a flight of stairs.
    After I got home from work this evening, I bundled up to take Izzie out to go to the bathroom. Of course, Izzie just bounces her way downstairs, so excited to romp in the snow. I take one step [...]

• My Wii Active Trainer Is Looking More Like an Encouraging Friend and Less Like a Sadistic Dungeon Master

  • A weird thing happened this morning. I actually woke up voluntarily way before my alarm clock went off
    ON A MONDAY MORNING.
    I couldn’t believe it. I had stayed up SUPER late last night (around 1:00 a.m.) knowing full well I would be paying for it the next morning. Normally my phone alarm goes off around 6:30 [...]
