I guess, when you’re in High School, Fridays after school are the perfect time for a floor nap...

Day Two Hundred Seventy Three
I made the dress for a practice session I’m doing Saturday.
It’s blue. A bit out of focus. And, apparently from the picture, linty.
Day Two Hundred Seventy Two
I began today walking in the fog with my son and the Bruno...
Before it was over, I had made a dress. I miss sewing!
Day Two Hundred Seventy One
I lost a lot of the momentum I had gained from my Summer walking routine.
This day and this image represents me,
Doing what I don’t feel like doing...
Sometimes, that’s all a day needs to accomplish!
Day Two Hundred Seventy
I did a super-fun session yesterday with family.
I’m taking my time processing it since I’m learning and I want to do it right.
But I ended up with some “outtakes”. Here are a couple...

Day Two Hundred Sixty Eight
Go Ducks!!
Oregon won! I can’t find the score, but it’s true.
B (in silly glasses) and Dad waiting to “Quack Out Loud”... guy’s night in.
Day Two Hundred Sixty Seven
From the other day (but processed today)...
She wanted an edgy “Sweeny Todd” sort of shot...
It’s hard to look fierce when a kitty snuggles you.
Day Two Hundred Sixty Six
We delivered our oldest daughter to her new dorm room on an appropriately grey day. Her room this year is a vast improvement from the tiny old one she was in last year.
This is her window...
Here’s her view.
The lights from historic Hayward field are in the distance and the volleyball court is right under her window.
If you look across the courtyard, you can see her room from last year.
I want to be there.
After the move, we had lunch at Dickie Jo’s (why does everyone giggle?)
At the end of a dark, melancholy (but super fun) day, the sunset made an appearance in the rearview mirror. Wrap Thursday!

Day Two Hundred Sixty One
Another from my day with B.
It totally qualifies since I’m focusing heavily on processing just now.
I need to work on lighting faces better. It used to be “my thing”, but I’ve been relying too heavily on LR to fix my mistakes.

Day Two Hundred Sixty!
I may be starting to get a feel for what I like in a processed photo.
To anyone who sees this, realizing that I know I still have FAR to go, please offer your opinion.
(this photo is eligible for today because I’ve spent way too much time working on the processing. :D)
Which One?
or...
Day Two Hundred Fifty Nine
It truly NEVER ends, does it?
And this is only half of my pile for the day.
I had to watch Glee yesterday, didn’t I?
Day Two Hundred Fifty Eight
We were late coming to Glee. We just started this Summer.
We are hooked.
We needed, desperately, to catch up with season one before the season two premier next week. So we watched most of three DVDs today.
That’s right. Back to back. No commercials.
We get to watch the season premiere together before Hailey returns to school.
It makes us SO happy!
Day Two Hundred Fifty Six
I’ve been waiting for this C.D for over five years now.
I met this beautiful person at a pastor’s wives retreat. I went with my best friend from high school.
Gretchen led the worship, and I was being skeptical. “Church” had been hard on us. I was burned out as the worship leader in our church, and I was sorely in need of authentic, organic worship.
Um...
This girl’s music began to heal the cracks that were starting to form in my dry soul.
I wasn’t the only one in the room that first night who responded to her spirit and her beautiful voice. She ended up finding a way for us to take home a C.D. of five tracks that she had on her ( or someone’s)computer.
My family has worn it out. I used it to pray, heal, grow... (and voice exercises! :D)
After MUCH prayer, preparation, and hard work, my (signed, thank you!) copy of her first album is in my hot little hands AND on my iPod.
And it’s just amazing!
Here’s a link if you like gorgeous piano and a voice that makes Carly Simon think, “I WISH!”
And the music of a person with her soul laid open before her God...
