Getting comfortable

After what seemed like an eternity of working on a project, it finally came to a close.

I have mixed feelings about it because I took home a fairly significant paycheck for the work, but I'm not completely proud of the end product. I think it was good, but I really want the work that I do to be really extraordinary and great. So, besides (or I suppose *because*) I'm feeling like my "finished" product wasn't quite finished ... I feel weird taking the money.

I wish I could get some perspective on it. I've been deeply immersed and totally isolated. Not to mention that for the past week my head has felt like it's being slowly but tenaciously compressed by a steel vise.

Hopefully the headache will fade now that I'll be able to move myself farther than two feet from this computer monitor for the rest of the weekend. As that fades, likely this discomfort will go with it ... I'll buy a plane ticket to go to Alaska and see the newest addition to our family.



Life is good. Just remember ... it's not all perfect ... but look at that sweet little face ... life is good ...

Get your popcorn and hot tamales (or in tonight's case ... your cup of hot nighttime theraflu), get comfortable, and watch the (cross-your-fingers) final edit.

Oh ... and I have a nephew!

About to be an Aunt

Joel and Kelley are in the hospital awaiting their new baby this morning!

In too deep ...

Take this camera, take these people, take this footage, take these pictures, take this life, take these 60 years ... please put it into your computer and come out with a beautiful, sentimental yet pithy entertaining retrospective. Oh - please no longer than 20 minutes.

My poor little poochie got something in her eye. **sniff**

A happy distraction

Sometimes if I need a little boost, I watch this video. I'm not sure what it is about it - but it gives me a little happy smile inside.

Chatting and dancing the night away

I just happened on some music (special thanks to Pandora.com) that's making me soooo fucking happy. Yay! Wooo... I'm doing emotional cartwheels right now.

I'm not sure I really have anything to say right now, or more accurately I can't stop dancing around the room long enough to keep my fingers at the keyboard.

Blogging & dancing might seem like strange bedfellows.

Well, with some exceptions...



But ... for me, it's all part of this week's procrastination schema. It's working beautifully. Oh - all that and an illicit conversation that started Saturday morning that's been keeping my attention ever since. Not quite ready to go into that right now. But ... oh my. Sometimes I amaze myself how ridiculous life gets once I've got some actual deadlines ahead of me.

I'd like to be a doll.

so many great outfits ...



so many great hairdos ...



no worries ... no deadlines ...



and all the time in the world ...
