We Have Officially Moved

The new blog is up and running, like I promised, it is very different from what you are used to, it will take an adjustment period. I am available to answer questions and help in any way, I only ask, if you hate the new look, be gentle.

Our New Home...

I hope you all like it and get used to it quickly, I think it's fantastic!

Thank you to everyone who offered to do some testing for me, I have gotten most of your suggestions worked into the new look.

See you soon Ladies!

This is a picture of me from 7th grade, when I was attending the Youth Transition Program.

It's surreal, I spent so much energy turning this time period into a well spun story in my head that seeing it in real life, right fucking there, is just the oddest thing.

I am almost speechless, and i am rarely speechless. I don't even have an instinctual reaction to it. My brain is trying to process this story with the photographic evidence of it's reality, and my emotions are trying to grab onto something, fucking PICK ONE already Sarah.

I can't.

I was hurting so much.
I hurt so many people.
I caused so much strife and heartache,
My anger was uncontrollable.

I had just started to hone the skills I would need to try and hide my mental illness. I was laying the groundwork for tragedy.

This picture looks so innocent. I can't stop looking at it.

here's the result for my first boston cream pie. I know it should have
almonds around it, but I didn't have enough. So it's chocolate ganache for
us today.

Reese came over to play today, he is such a sweet kid.

Zentangle. A mediatative art form. Why not?

This is a cheat from the last snow storm 2/10/11.
I finally pulled those pics off of my good camera.

"Found these ADORABLE shoes at Old Navy today, I couldn't resist!"

Linda 180/365


She seems to be looking rather wistful. I can relate, because I do it too.
Still adjusting.

Damn! I took this eons ago and forgot to post it. Crack my ass up.

I've loved to cook for the past 30 years or so, but have always had an
aversion to cooking for just one. Now, I'm determined to change that. I
spent about an hour preparing this meal for just me -- chicken curry masala
over rice and a salad with freshly-made herb dressing. I'm so worth it.

So...................Guess who "mean ol Robin" insisted at least TRY
rollerblades for 15 minutes at the skating rink tonight? And guess who
after not more then 2 minutes, decided he LOVED them and they were WAY
easier then regular skates? Thats right, Kole was a skating FOOL in no time
and couldn't WAIT to tell his brother that he can now skate better then
him......Guess "mean ol Robin" sometimes knows what shes talking about.....
;)

"Attended a dance showcase for the grand daughter of one of our co-workers
(sadly she isn't in this photo!) took my youngest and her friend. I
typically shoot like total crap at things like this and out of over 100
photos this is the only one I liked. I love tap! I really would love to
take an adult class."

The sky had billowy clouds like this all day.

End of a quiet day.

I made bread. I fucked it up. It still tasted like bread. We ate all of it.

Chris 178/365


I like brick buildings.
They represent dependability to me.

Very pleased with this photo.

"The frames are filled, still need something else, but I just can't find
anything I like! I love the photos so far though!"

*happycry* I got this in the mail today. Story behind it. A few weeks ago
while out shopping with R2 I came across an old Carebear sleeping bag and
for whatever reasons it brought back some very sad nostalgic feelings. I
literally wanted to crawl into the fetal position after I saw it, it really
bothered me for some reason. *shrug* Well I told a friend about it and I got
this sleeping bag in the mail with a card that said, "It may not be exactly
the same, but I hope it makes you happy and creates new, good memories".
Talk about thoughtful.

*Sidenote: She bought it on ebay and had the seller send it directly too me.
I didn't recognize the return address of course and the note was stuck
inside where I couldn't see it so I was totally freaked out! lol

Linda 178/365


Finally broke down and bought a smartphone, and I am in love! One of my
geeky students (actually, nearly all of them are geeks like me) showed me
the ins and outs of it; he even writes his own apps for Droids. And he
showed me how to get internet access for my home computer using just the
phone, which saves me a bundle. Awesome!

New Glasses with the RIGHT prescription! YAY

Found these at the Disney store. I love this movie

Vanessa 178/365


I don't know what the hell happened here, but this huge pillar had
broken off the subway and was just lying on the ground when I went to
get on the M train this morning. I hope it didn't just fall, because
that'd be scary. Maybe it was hit by a car? I hope everyone is okay,
either way.

Last cheat I promise. This photo was taken on April 11, 2010. We were over
at the Dukes. Andrea was cutting out kerchiefs for our dogs. I love the
way the sunlight is shining in. I don't know why I never used this photo in
last year's Envisage, but I'm glad I didn't. It was like a little prize
waiting for me to find it and remind me of good things.

jacinthe 178/365


daddy and kids making some craft.

cindy 177/365


Really don't we all have a 14 year old self hidden inside of us? One of my
coworkers picked up this shuttle map on a recent trip to the state capitol.
I guess they don't work "hard" at there. HA ha! snicker snicker. I bet
that one corner can be slippery, better wear your rubbers. Tee hee. After
much laughing about it we notice the wording "twenty minute service" and
"deviations from the route." A very immature morning at work.

Linda 177/365


View from my office this morning. The College of Engineering is in the
building next to mine, and they sometimes take their hovercrafts to nearby
Campus Lake to try them out. They're loud!

Robin 177/365


"Everyone I have a situation at my house...I have a sick husband. and ZOMG
the text requests for snacks and comfort food just kept coming. This man
can practically bench press a car but he had to have Jello cups, ice cream
and LOW calorie Gatorade. Cuz you know you have to watch that sugar intake.
I love him more than life itself but he's a mystery wrapped in a riddle! :)"

Kirsten 177/365


We got snow today YAY!!!!! Second time this year. Sadly by noon it was
melted away but I was able to get some fun shots of the kids and of the
snow. Felt bad for this poor flower. Probably wasn't expecting this lol

Chris 177/365


Sometimes I just can't find the right words.

Hi fat cat rolling around trying to clean himself!

Mary Jane 177/365


This photo was taken at my 20th year high school reunion. This photo is 11
years old. I look at it and I wonder who that girl was.....she is a
different person now. But she has alot of the same qualities that she had
back then. They were just hidden.

*scratch scratch*

Methinks I've got a slight case of the hives. I'm covered from my chin
down. Shawn is making me go for steroids tonight. OTC meds aren't working.

Robin Two 177/365


We took the boys snow tubing this weekend, and while Tim and I were
warming up in the ski lodge, we saw this pair of saggy butts standing near
by...............

So.......apparantly, not only is it essential to wear their jeans like this,
but I guess now it's a must to do it with snow pants as well when you are
skiing.........too cool.....

Maureen 177/365


Took this at her 3rd grade open house and was struck by how she looks much
older than 3rd grade here.

Vanessa 177/365


This was taken while I was outside Le Poisson Rouge with my friends
Jade and Geoff, waiting to get in to see Francis Farewell Starlite
perform a solo show with only a piano and a drum machine. He's the
leader of Francis and the Lights, one of my favorite bands, and I love
love love him.

jacinthe 177/365


trying michael jackson just dance today, and honestly, I didn't new that you
could sweat like this by playing videogame

Oatmeal Banana cookies. Fucking fantastic.

Although, I must say the texture screams banana bread more than cookie so I made some adjustments to the recipe and have come up with Buttery Banana Bread Bites.

And maybe, I might buy chocolate chips tomorrow and coat them in it, because holy hell that would be fantastic!
