Because One Can Never Blog Enough…

Jesus Saves

Ok, so I wrote this great post. And Jesus Saves, but I don’t, so it was lost instead of posting. Ack. Oh well – here it goes again. I’ve decided to move the knitblogging content over to PointySticks. I will cross-post here for a little bit, and continue to post big things here like the fact that my Faith Jacket might just bust the sweater curse of 2006 and I will finally have a sweater in just a few days. If I can find a RSS plugin that will allow me to post excerpts in my sidebar, I will do that – that way you can see here what is going on there and vice versa.

I may end up with multiple personalities by the time this is over. However, it has bugged me for long enough, so I think it is time to do it.

This site will keep the personal stuff, along with the geek posts and the photography stuff.

Speaking of photography, I am also considering starting a 365 day photo project – but photos of things, not myself. I admire too many other people’s self-portraits too much (Mac is the queen of them, in my book), so I don’t think I could even begin to do it justice. But photographing things? That I can do. It is time to finally make the $10 lightbox that I’ve had bookmarked for ages, and I need to get a flash for my camera and learn how to use that too. So many goals, so little time.

For now, I can’t take any pictures at all. My camera battery died on Tuesday, and the battery charger is missing. I have searched high and low, but there is no sign of it. Craptastic. Hopefully Elaine’s charger will work and I can juice up tomorrow, and meanwhile I will end up ordering a new one. Of course, as soon as I get it, the old one will reappear. It always works out like that.

This time, I’m doing the “copy” thing. I’m not writing this post a third time.

One More Resolution…

Stepping Stones

Taken at the Ozark National Forest at Blanchard Springs (after we visited the Blanchard Springs Cavern) in August, 2006. You can view it much larger here.

In talking with Laurie yesterday, I realized that I had left out a resolution of mine for the New Year. Although it isn’t really a new resolution, as I have been trying to do it for months. My goal is to recycle as much as I possibly can. Our neighborhood offers recycling, so I don’t have to take it anywhere other than down to the curb. Now that I have been doing this for the past 4-5 months, I notice more and more how environmentally unfriendly we are. There generally are no recycling options when you are out; if you want to do it, you have to take the trash home with you. Frustrating, but I still do it most of the time because I want to keep nature clean.

After thinking about it yesterday, I was inspired to go back and look at our photos from when we went to the Ozarks this summer. It left you a little speechless to walk through a cavern that was only discovered within the past 40 years, and to see how we hurt nature with our waste and the effect it has on a living cave system. When we visited the springs and the Buffalo National River, I was in awe of the amazing clear water. Looking at this photo, I still remember how I felt like a very small part of the world when I considered the forces of nature that it takes to move those boulders.

Be kind to the environment. It needs you.

New Year’s Eve, Chez Tremoulet Style…

Heard at our house at midnight, New Year’s Eve:
Mike: “Happy James Bond year!”
Me: *blank stare*
Me: “Huh?”
Mike: “Get it? 007? Come on, I can’t be the only one to think that!”

… Wait. Is midnight, New Year’s Eve really January 1, or December 31st? Oh, it is so confusing. Whatever, Mike said it at about 12:01 on 1/1/007. (Yes, I meant to leave off the 2. Just for Mike.)

In Color…

In Color

This is the original color version of the black & white photo that I posted the other day of Jason. I took this for my handmade gift for my Mom for Christmas, so I couldn’t post the original until I gave it to her. We had “Second Christmas” yesterday at my parent’s house, and it was a nice way to bring in the new year. Gifts were exchanged, good food was eaten, time ws spent with family – what more could you ask for?

Now it is back to everyday life – Mike is back at work today and Jason goes back to school tomorrow. And me? I’m off to hunt for good photos!
