there she goes

i think i’ll steal a line from a good friend: i didn’t think it would be this hard.
and i feel rather lame because of that. most people leave. most people go away from family and friends at some point. most people go to school (and for longer than this!). but i’ve [...]

pix (i spell it that way ’cause i’m so cool)

tired of seeing pictures like this one? too bad. life doesn’t always go your way, don’t you know that?
saying goodbye is not very much fun, but it can be rather entertaining. especially when your friend has to bend over to give you a hug (and then of course your sister is right there [...]

pictures of our now-named-boy (it was officially decided this afternoon) can be found here. Ryan Jameson (we’ll call him, Jameson — which is pronounced, JamIson, not just James-son) is home with a happy daddy and mamma and nana.

baby

so i’m an aunt. again.
he’s a big boy with brown hair and the most dunphey looking face ever (he’s just missing the glasses). he’s loud and his upper lip quivers when he cries and he didn’t like the ridiculous eye drops they must use on these newborns now. he’s perfect and i can’t be [...]

try the link

i could put all my pictures right here on my site, but they have to be small to do that and who wants to squint at pictures? i don’t. so if you want to see, push on the links — those would be the words in green.

*disclaimer: i’ve not come to any solid conclusions and these are all just wonderings. they are in no way pointedly directed at any individual(s).
1. drinking. where is the line? is it okay to drink or should you never touch [...]

hair

you really don’t have to tell me — i know i’m spoiled.  i can’t even tell you how many hours have been spent at a certain salon here in the north country having fun with my hair and getting experience coloring hair myself (no worries, it was her hair).
