Well, the photos are still on my camera, but I need a break from girl movies or I am going to lose it. So I got on here to post one that I took at the wedding. It isn’t a work of art, but I like it and that is what it is all about to me!
The only things I did to this, aside from resizing for the site, was tweak the contrast and brightness.
I saw this awhile back and made a mental note to come back to it when I had the time. I finally made the time Saturday and went back out into the middle of nowhere to shoot this barn. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it and knew it would be a great subject. I shot it partly for me but partly to preserve it. The paint is peeling and the barn is starting to fall apart, so it is only a matter of time till it fades into memory. This way, I can still see it whenever I want, and now, you can too! I have affectionately come to know it as the Jesus Barn.\par

I need to get out and take some photos so I don’t have to keep digging around in the vault. I am going to have to take a few days off soon anyway as I am starting to seriously burn out!\par

I have been silent this weekend, I apologize, a little.
See, we had our company Christmas party on Saturday and the jury is still out on whether it was worth it or not. I spend enough time with those people throughout the week, why do I have to hang with them on my weekend?
My biggest problem with the whole thing was they decided to have it in a piano bar. I have nothing against pianos, just bars. I have never really liked bars, even when I was drinking a lot I didn’t do it in bars. I have always felt that the whole atmosphere in most bars is a little too rowdy for my taste.
The piano players were quite good though and kept us entertained. I do enjoy piano music and they knew pretty much anything that I threw at them for requests. Everyone else was requesting stupid stuff that really doesn’t go well on a piano but they played them anyway. They were happy that at least I was trying.
I have some photos but for the sake of my job I won’t post them, unless they tick me off again, then all bets are off!
So how was your weekend?
Lord help me it’s winter break. I have Anna home with me and Desi went to her mothers. Don’t get me wrong, I love to play. I just want a break from pretending I am a pony every once in awhile.
For the millionth time I am quitting smoking. I even got rid of things that remind me of smoking. No more lighter in my pocket, even if it is convenient. I have a little more resolve this time plus I set myself up by telling everyone I was quitting again. I want them there to remind me when I am tempted.
I keep hearing a strange whistling sound from Anna’s room. I don’t remember buying her a whistle!
