The switch

I switched to the new Blogger Beta and changed my template and uploaded my fall leaves photos.

Photo update

I added some photos from early August when Angie got back from Ecuador and I hung out at their family's house that evening. The younger cousins were all about the trampoline that night.

Definitely an inherited disorder of disorderliness

I went back and labeled nearly everything in this photo. I may be crazy, but I think my messiness is genetic. I once got an e-mail thank you for a Christmas gift from my grandfather in which he said, "Thank you very much for the gift to the 2005 Holiday Wish Book Campaign in my honor! I'm sorry I didn't thank you much sooner. As you may have noticed, if you were in my office Christmas Eve, I needed to clean up my desk urgently."

You are what you love

Had fun making my Pollock-style painting but had to play around a bit to figure out how to move the mouse in order to get the shapes I wanted. Would be nice to be able to change the colors, but still cool.

I'm liking my weekend which started on Wednesday (Thursday/Fridays I'm off every other week). Laid in the pool for a while but it got overcast. Watched the 1970 version of "Wuthering Heights" this morning. Had some hot dogs for lunch. Started another book this afternoon ("A Country Affair" by Rebecca Shaw) after finishing two this week already (" Living on Air" by Anna Shapiro and "Koyal Dark, Mango Sweet" by Kashmira Sheth). Reading short books for pleasure is one of the best ways to spend a summer.

Fewer than 100 days until S can come back. He told me last night, "I can't wait to see you, Beth" and I said, not unkindly, "Well, you'll have to."

A good time for all

Andrea and Emily enjoying their Freeze-pops. Lots more photos at flickr.

While all the other photo-taking was happening, me and Maggie got to hang out. Flower girl and personal attendant, taking a break. Fun times.

More photos are on my Flickr page.

Me and S, today

What a neat new feature! (Us testing out Andrea's new computer and the program "Photobooth.")
