Saw Rise of the Guardians tonight. It was quite interesting! Definitely different.

You're not really going to kick the adorable sleeping kitten off the bed, are you?

Apparently, our favorite Mexican restaurant has added a new Wednesday night feature: live music!

Not much of a view at work today.

At 9 AM, all of my fingernails were painted. When I actually *looked* at my hand at 10 AM, suddenly my index finger was bare. Absolutely no idea what happened. Apparently it just popped off in one sheet without my noticing. So weird!

This is the fork lift we found in the parking lot of my mom's office. We have no idea who put it there or how it got there. It was gone by the next morning. So bizarre!

One causality of the weekend: our oldest and best timer died. It has seen us through many a Thanksgiving meal. Not sure how we'll get along without it.

2012-11-23

We finally made it to the Folkston Funnel this year! Been meaning to take Luke for quite some time. Only one train today, since it was the day after Thanksgiving, so we also had an impromptu picnic. Great afternoon!

2012-11-22

Happy Thanksgiving!

Finally got the camera (my cell phone, even) to "see what I see". These flaming red leaves just shimmer in the fall sunlight. Absolutely gorgeous!

I understand that it's habit, I really do, but this surely doesn't look like "no cherry" to me. I wouldn't go to all the trouble of specifying if it was as simple as scooping it off. It infects the rest of the whipped cream, too!

Some people probably wonder why I have a Washington DC calendar up in my cube. The answer is simple: it features photos by my friend Christine Ruffo. She's sent me one each of the last several years, and I love looking at her beautiful work. Not every month is one of hers, but several are. You can see more of her work of both Washington DC and Coastal Georgia at her website here.

His first Rain Gutter Regatta.

More pretty leaves. Did a better job capturing the light and shadow here. If I'd had my "real" camera instead of my phone, I bet it would have been dynamite!

These trees are such an amazing color. They look almost like living flames.

My reflection in the mirrored ceiling of the elevators at work.

Sunrise in the rear view mirror.

I was trying to capture the beautiful texture of these evergreens (through an about-to-be-moving car window with my cell phone).

My November cute decorations. The hanging thing on the right was given to me by my husband's grandmother. The pumpkin on the left actually made an appearance in my Halloween decorations as well. Along the bottom is just a wired ribbon held up with small rare earth magnets.

Since the cats woke me up well before 8 AM this lovely Sunday morning, we decided to run out to McDonalds for an impromptu breakfast out. Luke loves their biscuits, so he was thrilled!

2012-11-10

We're trying to get ready for Skyfall, which was released yesterday. We won't get to see it until Thanksgiving (at the earliest), but we do want to review the two Daniel Craig Bond films. I think we only saw Casino Royale once or twice, and we never did see Quantum of Solace. Hoping to fix that soon!

A friend of mine is having surgery today. We all got together and are wearing purple nail polish in honor of her. This was my "proof" picture, with my fingers literally crossed for her for good luck. [Edit: she did fine!]

2012-11-08

This was a nice surprise! We were touring the warehouse facility of one of our suppliers. Apparently, AT&T makes visits often enough that they had a sign made up! LOL It did truly make me feel welcome, though.

Luke had to measure things for his math homework tonight, including two things over a meter long (like our TV). I can't help but smile that he's standing on his tiptoes. He almost doesn't have to do that to do anything anymore, he's so tall! (And as you can see, Star is doing her usual excellent job of supervising.)

2012-11-06

What do you think they've decided? [Update: Obama]

2012-11-05

And me modeling my amazing new ring from yesterday. Goes great with my favorite purple work shirt. Not so sure about this nail color on me, though. Still trying to decide. I think it looks better in the photo than it did in person.

My gift exchange from a friend. My hands will be so pretty!!

2012-11-03

This just makes me happy.

2012-11-02

An attempt at an artistic shot of the piles of leaves near our house (yard guy comes tomorrow). I tweaked the contrast some to darken up the shadows (since the photograph made them look "flatter" than they do in real life), but this really is more or less what they looked like. Not bad.

Cub Scouts went to the police station today. Mr. Junior Police Officer here apparently had a blast!
