I seriously get as giddy as a 10 year old school girl does over the Jonas Brothers every time I see this trailer. I'm such a nerd.
I have a completely irrational fear of falling from a great height, in addition to mild claustrophobia. So, it was was with a sinking dread when I came to the realization that I was stuck on an elevator at my office - dangling 120 feet in the air.
While normally I [...]
This is a photo I shot at a friend's wedding. I really love the looks on their faces; the joy of the newly-married. They're a great couple, and I couldn't be happier for them.
Happy Love Thursday, Everyone!

Well, here are mine for 2009. Let's see how well I can stick to them!
1. Get healthy. I've gained back 6 of the 25 hard-fought pounds I lost, and I can feel and see every one of them. When I eat better and exercise, I feel better. The weight loss [...]
A friend introduced me today to the poetry of Andrea Gibson, and this poem especially struck a chord with me. I'm tired of being told I don't support the troops just because I want to bring them home to their families, and out of a senseless war. I understand there [...]

My last post was done as a bit of fun. A tongue-in-cheek way of sticking out my tongue and saying "neener-neener" to whomever stole my campaign sign. Apparently, someone took it as an opportunity to insult me and leave hate-filled speech in the comments section.
Now, as a left-wing liberal, I'm [...]

According to the Sarah Palin Baby Name Generator, if I were her child (shudder at the thought), my name would be "Chop Meth Palin". Rather appropriate considering the amount of Meth that is manufactured in Wasilla, the town she is the former Mayor of!
