High winds + towing a trailer = nervous driver. We had gusts up to 40-50mph, and consequently, I couldn't go over 55 most of the drive, until I hit midstate Idaho, where calmer weather prevailed.

I prefer to be closer to Seattle proper, but I had a tough time finding an apartment that allowed "large dogs." The definition of a large dog? A dog 25 lbs and up. Cue massive eyerolling. I'm sure I would've found something eventually if I had more time and was already up there. But I'm not...this apartment complex, one of the few that allows large dogs, will Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14569590801991304239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315800466703414263.post-54885258869488130052010-04-03T12:28:00.001-06:002010-04-06T14:51:57.296-06:00April is a bubble gum monthI haven't posted pictures because between getting ready to move and my parents visiting (read: staying with me) for my nephew's birthday, I've been fairly busy.Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14569590801991304239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315800466703414263.post-73817977305792202662010-03-26T14:52:00.002-06:002010-03-26T14:52:58.778-06:00Friday ApolloJenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14569590801991304239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315800466703414263.post-83107538842442816942010-03-22T16:42:00.000-06:002010-03-22T16:42:30.788-06:00Assignment Monday: P is for..."Póg mo thóin" of course!

ApolloOn the last day of Winter, I chose to exercise my privilege as the foodlady to torture Apollo. Don't be fooled by these pictures, he was NOT happy about having to wear goggles and boots.
Last year, it snowed here in Denver in April. And it snowed on the last day of Summer. Since September, we've had about 60 inches of snow. And the weather guys are saying we could get up to 18 inches today.

Expensive tastes. Anyway. I did some poking around and discovered that there are some very cheap workarounds called extension tubes.

Apollo is on a diet, and that makes him very blue. Har har, see how I worked that in there? Yeah, seriously, he's on a diet. I took him to the vet last week, and we discovered that he was a shocking 93 pounds. He gained four lbs since his surgery in December. And that's on top of the seven he gained since summer. I did expect some weight gain because it's winter and we're less active especially Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14569590801991304239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315800466703414263.post-11264237326153665952010-02-08T21:42:00.000-07:002010-02-08T21:42:41.207-07:00Monday AssignmentNeeded a decent picture of myself for work purposes.

I wanted to post about this before I forget - a good college buddy of mine is on her third, I think, school - career student - and she and her classmates had to make a superbowl commercial parodying Beano. Part of the project is marketing - getting people to view it. So they, in addition to their own marketing endeavours, are asking their families and Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14569590801991304239noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315800466703414263.post-21981205101298037872010-02-04T09:04:00.000-07:002010-02-04T09:04:05.967-07:00Each month,I pick new color schemes to go with the new photo banner.

What's more, I want to start putting more effort into these photos other than randomly snapping pictures and calling it a day. Which isn't necessarily always what I do, but I admit that sometimes I go about it half-assed.

Some are good; some, bad. Most were done at last minute, an hour or two before midnight when I go "Oh crap! I forgot!" My goal in doing this is to force myself to photograph regularly, and to explore new techniques. Some were successful, some weren't.
