Snaps

Here’s the kid as she goes off to her first night at her new job at The Grand. Granted, it’s a volunteer thing, but the time she puts in at the movie theater can be put on her applications for paying jobs, and the volunteer hours count for community service at her high school. Looks good on those college apps! (God I can’t believe I’m thinking about college apps.)

Anyway she signed up to volunteer on the night of the IndyKnow show. She’s really quite excited

Driving home tonight I came down Riverside Drive which is lined with gorgeous old trest that just explode with colour this time of year and I absolutely love it. But tonight there were an unusual amount of people in their yards raking and somehow, between yesterday and today, the leaves just went, “WHOMP” and fell off. It was very odd.

So I figured I’d better get my annual Fall colour picture quick before they all fall off. So this shot is from my balcony.

This is getting fixed tomorrow but evidently the drywall behind my bathroom tiles was soaked and it weakened. The slightest touch these days seems to make the tiles just fall off.

Should have played the lottery today.

I’m not quite sure what a Harvest Moon is exactly, but it seemed like a nice title for this pic. Yesterday as I was driving my daughter to school the moon looked really cool and I lamented that I didn’t have my camera with me to take a pic. This morning I remembered it and sure enough, the moon looked cool again.

But it’s odd that the moon looks like such a spec in this photo. IRL it was quite huge, like a luminous Christmas ornament hanging in the sky.

Anyway this was taken around 7:30am so it was still quite dark and you can’t make out the gorgeous fall leaves, but oh well.

Good moon.

Spooky usually nicks it and it becomes her scratch-toy for the day.

The funny thing about this pic is I have no idea what the white blob is next to her. We were nowhere near a window for it to be sunlight (and even if we were, my curtains were shut, and we face north/south.) It’s not from a lamp either. Weird.

I totally meant to bring my camera with me when Shannon and I went to see Wallace and Gromit but I forgot it. I blame overtiredness. I think the stress of last week has hit me and I’m lethargic as hell. It’s not even 8pm yet and I’m going to bed as soon as I finish this.

Anyway, I was going to take a pic of the W&G movie poster at the cinny but since I couldn’t, here’s a pic of our cool IndyKnow tshirts, and Spooky the cat.

W&G was very cute and funny btw, tho we really should have gone at another time. Both of us were so dog-tired that it was hard to focus.

Continuing with the Shannon theme I seem to have going… Tonight is her first Homecoming dance. We spent the morning finding the right shoes and the afternoon pretty-fying her. I did the makeup and hair and I’m well-pleased with how she turned out

She cleans up good.

And she returns triumphant from her very first paying babysitting job. The kid’s having a good week methinks Cool concert, first job, Homecoming tomorrow followed by a sleepover with the girls where they will gush about the boys and relive every moment of their first formal dance…

Ahh youth

Whew just made it before midnight. Tonight was the really big shooo for IndyKnow. I’ll blog more about it over on Ridiculous Thoughts, but today’s pic is of the band Straight Outta Junior High. They were the final band of the evening and they kicked ass!

p.s. Any and all typos or grammatical errors are due to being utterly knackered It was a gooood time tho.

Pshaw.

I don’t make my bed. I never saw the point really. So this is the state of my bed before, um bed. Hehe.

And nothing fun happened today. Except that Mike loaned me some zombie movies. Those should be fun.
