life update

I had about a month-long absence, 

so I figured I'd do a brief life update. 

Confessions: 

I used my SLR yesterday for the first time in weeks. 

I opened Photoshop today for the first time in...a month? 

Instagram is the only documentation I have of life. 

I tried to organize my life into themes: 

Theme #1: On the go. 

Commuting blows. 

Fortunately I get an occasional cool sky to mix it up. 

Theme #2: Halloween. 

I did some Halloween baking this year, 

including Jack-o-lantern Tartlets and caramel apples from scratch. 

I had friends over to carve pumpkins 

and I dressed as a Lumberjack at work. 

On Halloween night Joe and I watched a scary movie... 

Batman. The one with the joker. Definitely the scariest I could handle! 

Theme #3: Cats. 

Duh. They are so cuuuuuute! 

Theme #4: Dates. 

Everything from homemade dinners to Burgermaster. 

From a giant family style Taiwanese dinner to traditional Polish fare. 

I realize it looks like all we do is eat. 

That is just the only time I think to take photos. 

It is a common sickness, taking photos of one's food. 

I am guilty as charged. 

 Theme #5: Kiddos. 

Grading papers for my 8th graders, 

crafting with my 9 year old Little, 

holding a four-month old, 

and drawings from a 6th grade badminton player. 

I'm sure I missed things, but that will have to do. 

There is always so much to catch up on and I am always so far behind!
