Day 177: Casey

My oldest nephew is about to turn fourteen years old. I remember the kind of shit I was plotting when I was fourteen and I am horrified, proactively, about all the shit this boy is going to get into. Ahhh, memories. So my mom and my oldest nephew came to visit me Friday. We had lunch and went and saw Up. Casey was gobsmacked when we were waiting for our food at Soul Fish and…

Day 176: Free Food!

The CA won the TPA’s honor of best newspaper in the state (general excellence or something is what they call it). Plus we got an award for awesome make-up and appearance, which is loverly since that’s what I do for a living. So we celebrated with free food today. Yeee-haw!

We’re all assholes.…

Day 174: Roll Credits

And Megan Fox’s perpetually open mouth and perpetually (until the last ten minutes) clean white pants. (In the real world, when a woman puts on a pair of white pants, she immediately starts her period. True story.) There…

Day 172: Happy Fathers Day

My brother and sister both are making silly faces in this shot, but I like it anyway. My dad’s reading from a card my mother bought and stored and forgot about more than a decade ago and just now found in her closet (my packrattery comes honest). He got a good chuckle out of that ancient card, and was pretty excited about the fancy new grill we all chipped in on. Of course, as soon…
