Here's a picture of me from 1973....I think. I was trying to figure out when this was taken. Why didn't they put the date on pictures back then. Anyway, I'm posting this picture because Kim over at Kim's Beaver Lodge posted a picture of herself. I told her I'd do the same so here it is. I think I look really cute...actually, I look better then than I do now. Thanks for the inspiration, Kim!

Besides the fact that 4000 Americans have been killed in the war and all Dick Cheney can say is "So?", I am missing the boyfriend. He's on spring break and in New Orleans and will return tomorrow. I missed our weekend snuggles.

Kiss Me!

I don't celebrate easter because I'm an atheist. I don't get into the whole religious part of it but I certainly take part in the candy part of it. I love all the easter candy the produce at this time of the year. I love the Reese's peanut butter eggs, Cadbury eggs, jelly beans, etc. I don't really care for the peeps but if someone gave me some, I'd eat them. Of course I need to stop eating all this stuff but I love it. I'm still a kid I guess. I hope you enjoyed your easter, however you celebrate it.

Last night I went to my mother's to have dinner with her and my twin brother. He's in town on business so my mother had us both over for dinner. I don't see him too often since he lives in Columbus. It's always good to see him.

In the past few years he's become a big Apple fan so I was not surprised when he pulled out his brand new iPhone. I was jealous of course but not surprised. He's already got it all loaded up with movies, music, and websites. I had not used the camera part of the iPhone before so I was curious to see how it was. We got my mother to take a few pictures of us together. She's not the best when it comes to taking pictures. As you can see in the first photo, she cut off my brother's head. That's okay. He's bald anyway. But it was the clearest picture so I included it. The others are fine too but out of focus. She couldn't hold the phone still and press the virtual button on the screen at the same time. She thought she should feel it click or something. Anyway, here are a few pictures of my brother and me. Can you believe we are twins?

I dropped the bofyriend off at the airport a few hours ago. His flight left a few minutes ago and I'm tracking it as he heads to New Orleans for his Spring Break. He'll be gone until next week and I already miss him. I'll miss snuggles with him this weekend but I'll look forward to them when he returns.

I've been on Spring break this whole week. I've been busy doing other things. It's amazing how many things you can get done when you aren't working. Of course I have several other things I need to do but this is only the middle of the week. I should be able to have time to get those things done.

The boyfriend's Spring break isn't until next week or we'd be spending lots of time together. Tomorrow he leaves for New Orleans for his Spring break. I'll miss him and our snuggles but he needs a break. It's time for him to see his family.

Here are a few pictures from last weekend.

The boyfriend and I went to Richmond Va this weekend to visit our friends, John and Megan. They are part of a family winery in Midlothian Va. Megan is an artist and recently encouraged me to create some artwork to display and sell in their tasting room. I took her up on the offer and chose 14 photographs I thought were nice and framed them. So we took them down there this weekend to set up the art show in the tasting room. On Saturday we spent a good chunk of the day with Megan arranging and hanging the photos. The boyfriend was such a big help when it came time to give each photo a title. The name of the art show is "Shapes Through The Lens" and will run through July 13th. Hopefully I'll sell some of my photographs at their tasting room. Here's a look at some of the photos in the tasting room. Thank you Megan and John!


We then tasted some of their wines and then enjoyed some of their limited edition Cabernet Franc on the porch. We relaxed and talked and enjoyed the wine. It was a relaxing afternoon.


I took about 200 photographs in about 24 hours. Spring has come to Richmond and all the flowers were blooming. I took several photos of flowers around the winery. I took photos of lots of other things too. We stayed at John and Megan's Saturday night and then returned home today. John and Megan are great hosts and we really enjoyed spending some time with them. They live in a wooded area and while we were having breakfast a family of deer walked acrossed their property right outside their window. They said the deer come by all the time. Of course I didn't have my camera handy so I didn't get any shots of the deer. But it was cool sitting there watching them so closely right outside the window. What a great weekend!

20 years ago today, "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. I miss Rick Astley.

Okay, I'm having internet connection issues and haven't been able to post anything of substance on this blog. My connection really sucks and I wish they would get it fixed.

I was a bit glad to see that Hillary made strides this week in the primaries. I'm not sure if it will help her in the long run but I did feel glad that she's back in it. However, I do think it's time for the dems to come together and make a decision so they can start attacking McCain.

And speaking of him, doesn't he look a lot like Bush? Now that it's solid that he's the nominee of the repubs, he will start attacking the dems on everything. It won't be long before they start saying the dems don't have it together and they won't be able to get it together to be president. I still think in the long run the dems will win and things can begin to change.

Oh, and one more thing. I have another week before spring break! I can't wait for some time off!

Okay, now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

I know it's very early for spring but today the temperature got up to 70 degrees and that was a nice preview to spring. Feeling in the spring mood, I decided to update the blog look to get rid of the snow theme and move on to a spring theme. Maybe this will help spring get here sooner!
