Snaps

Took a little walk around the old neighbourhood.

More stuff I’ve had waiting to be taken off my camera:

As time passed, and I looked at the mounting pile of images waiting to be added here, I grew more and more weary just thinking about the time it would take the post them all individually. And then I said to myself, “Self? It’s your damn blog, just post a gallery of them all. Dumbass.” (Sometimes I can be cranky.)

And so, here’s a little gallery of pic I’ve been taking, and I’ll try to get back into the swing now.

Office goof and pretty cool guy Jack takes the mic during Saturday night’s rock band-fest at my friend official, “My wife is on vacation and I had to stay and work, so I’m having a party” BBQ.

Shannanigans playing with some pretty lame sparklers that were pretty much just tiny flames on a stick. This was taken before the horrible kids across the street stared aiming artillery fireworks at us, barely missing Shannon’s head. Little shits.

A very happy birthday was had by my beautiful daughter, Shannon. She turned 17 today *sniffle*

I have pix. I do. I just can’t seem to muster up the energy to post them just now. It’s nothing major, just a general kind of tired. Will get back to this and the geek chic stuff in a day or two.

Eons ago I made it through about 500 of the (then) required 1600 hours for cosmetology school. When I started the school, I wanted to cut and style hair. What i didn’t reckon on was having to learn how to wax men’s back hair, give pedis to old bitties with inch-thick yellow toenails, and an instructor who hated me because I was good friends with his ex-boyfriend. Anyway, I ended up quitting. But I learned some stuff.

Shannon has a big performance with her bellydance troupe at the anual Ethnic Festival downtown. My friend Tonya sent me the link to this extremely cool chick’s youtube vids, and voila! Shannon’s eyes rawk.

Took a wee break. Am back now. My little bellydancer had a show tonight, performing for some folks at a retirement home. So I tore her away from her contraband Dairy Queen (it was very hot) and had her show me her moves
