I posted all the pictures on time, but I haven't had time to also write in the blog, so I am just going to put links, for my regular friends on my blog site, as to now fill their page with pictures.

Day 13: I was tutoring, and took this picture, as my student was working very hard at one of her math problems, after I explained it to her.

Day 14: Taken at church, across the room, in really low light. Somehow I ended up taking a lot of pictures later in the day, on my friends camera, and then he accidentally deleted them all...

Day 15: I did the MS WALK and went to a dance this say. I loved this picture from the walk.

After a long run, a whole 7 games, the Canucks finally actually make it to the next round. There were many happy fans out after the game celebrating, here is the back of one of them. One of the few times I had to use a flash to do all the shooting.

Day 11:

This was part of the front of my favorite birthday card that I got a couple of weeks ago.



Day 12:

Heh, I came back from watching the game tonight, and had them Canucks on my brain.

Day 9:

My parents came to town today, and life got distracting with cleaning, work, and visiting, at the end of the evening, I remembered that I had not had a chance to shoot, so I took out the camera, and got an interesting sequence of pictures.



Day 10:

My easy button. I think this is one of the most entertaining, simple objects that I own. I took the little time that I will have alone today to take some pictures... after walking by and pushing the button, I thought... hmmm... time to shoot it!

Day 8:

I am a terrible pool player... and I always look down at those corners... and never seem to get the shots.... maybe I'll get that corner next time :)

Day 7: High Tea. My friends and I went for high tea today, while there I of course pulled out the camera, and started shooting, this is one of the shots I ended up with. We had a lot of fun!

Day 6:

Gotta love high school, where kids put their shoes on the tables!

Day 5: The clock ticking down at the end of a school day always seems to be standing the still... the perspective of a student sitting in a dest.

Day 4: The top of a computer monitor, from where I was teaching this afternoon.

Day 3: My ktty... Sigma Pi

I just love his eyes.

Day two! Here is a picture of my friends fireplace. My friends told me I should start making windows (tm) backgrounds.

Here is the link to my 30 Day challenge album.



This is picture one, from day one. Taken late at night, with a softer focus than I had originally wanted, but when I got the picture off camera, he was already gone.

Since I have not been writing in here regularily for so long anyway, I am going to use my LJ for a very specific purpose for 30 days starting Sunday/Monday.

I have entered a challenge on www.worth1000.com on the photography section to take a picture a day of a certain topic and pose the pictures daily. I have decided to go with the topic fill frame. It will force me to keep taking pictures during the week, and give me a chance to really get to know my new camera which will be great. So will post the pictures on LJ with the picture posting area, but I will also link the images on here daily, and give a reason or thoughts behimd the photos.

I'm really looking forward to doing this. I know some days will be really difficult when I work my 13 hour days, BUT if I bring the camera with me to work, theire is no reason that I can't snap something at work, or near it.

Kari was kind enough to share space on her smugmug account! You can see all the photos I kept from the Spring Fling at

Dance my pretties dance

I deleted about 150, but theres LOTS left :)

Some Spring Fling Shots

Here is a sampling of some of the pictures from the Spring Fling. Twas a fun night!

Bellingham fun!

I realized that I have a gig of space on my livejournal picture gallery, so I posted some of the pictures at full size, no editing.

Enjoy!

Pics of Mike

Here are some pictures that I Took of my brother in law last night at Richards on Richards. He is touring with the band Do Make Say Think. I really enjoyed the show, and it was great to see Mike after not seeing him since summer 2005.

I think that my LJ needs an overhaul!

I'm not sure what I want to do with it at this point in time, but if anyone has any ideas - or better yet, want to try to do something better than I can do - let me know!

Merry Christmas, everyone!!

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful day, full of joy and happiness and all the things that make the holidays wonderful for them.

I think that this is the best Christmas I have ever had (or that I can remember). I am now officially engaged to Frankie. He asked me this morning as part of our present opening. He had a bunch of boxes wrapped within eachother, with notes attatched to the bottom of each box. The notes told a story of our journey together thus far, with the last one stating "So he gets on his Knee and asks a VERY important question.........................." and he proposed to me. It was very sweet. That is the highlight of my Christmas.

Hope to see a few of you at Betwixt and Between in a few days.

Merry Christmas, again!

Now to continue to wait impatiently for the time to pass, and it be late enough that I am allowed to phone people. :)

So the Christmas social went really well. This is the first entry I will make about dancing that isn't closed off to certain people, as now Frankie knows that I have been taking the classes. He did notice that I got better, but had a hard time putting 2 and 2 together that it was my surprise for him. He has been very cute about the whole thing. He really is happy, and it is nice to see.

So plans are we are going to go to Betwixt and Between ion the 28th, and to a New Years Dance in Victoria for New Years Eve. Should be fun!

I got to soak my feet in the nice blue fizzy stuff, because summer_solstace was kind enough to bring some to Frankie when she stayed here. YAY!! I have a blister on my foot - I feel like a real dancer now.

Anyway, thought I'd let everyone know that they don't have to keep a secret anymore. All is out in the open!

It's been 6 months and I'm alive. Ironic that the last time that I wrote in here, I was at a SCD workshop - and this weekend I was at another one. Weird.


Anyway.... too tired and sore to make this substantial tonight, I am going to bed.

But I am alive - I've just been stalking you all... bwahahahaha. :)

So I just got back from my weekend in Victoria, and boy am I sore!

I went to a workshop all weekend.... a workshop learning how to SCD (Scottish Country Dance). It was more fun that I had expected, but things usually are, if you don't set your expectations too high :P

I heard more Scottish music than I ever have, saw more kilts on guys, interestingly enough most of them weren't Scottish.

It was a Youth Weekend workshop, so everyone was under the age of 30ish. Apparantly almost doubling the numbers from the year previous.

Now I need some time to recoup.

Also, my cat was getting very knotty, so now he has a lion cut.... it looks very, uh, interesting. Anyway... off to work I know.

Hello fellow LJers.

I know I don't write often, and I know this is totally out of character for me, but I am going to make an announcement on here too.

In a little less than 3 weeks, I will be doing thie walk for MS, for my mom. And, I am asking anyone, and everyone I know if they will make a donation.

Sooo... if you have a little extra money that you didn't know what you should do with it, visit the link below, and pledge. IF not, no worries.

I will continue to raise my goal on the page, as I get more pledges...

Thanks for giving the time to even look.

Sigma received a late birthday present from a friend, actually a bunch of gifts with food, treats, and toys, but also were included some sun glasses. He has decided he'd rather bat them around. but I did get some pictures of him wearing them

( Pictures of Sigma in his birthday glasses )

Since I never write enough in here, I have decided I am forcing myself to actually sit and write today. Not sure what to write about, so I'll just write about my weekend.

I had a good weekend. Not as great as it could have been, being sick and all, but over all it was good. I went over to Victoria on Thursday night, right after I got off work. I caught the last ferry, and all was good. I coughed all night, and Frankie made me go to the dr on Friday, and anti-biotics were given. So, St. Patties day, and I start anti-biotics, that's ok though. Everyone gave me a hard time, because the one "drinking" day of the year, I couldn't I did have a green water though, and later on a green sprite. It was all good. I got to see some old friends, which of course made the day even that much better. It was great to see Jenni and Heather. Always good to see the people you rarely see.
Saturday night I saw my first Gilbert and Sullivan Show, and I loved it. I saw The Gondoliers. It was hillarious, and I was glad that I was able to follow everything, I managed to figure out the plot line, and the twist just before it was revealed to the audience. Yay me.
Then Sunday, I had to return, which is always sad. Now I will be apart from Frankie for 2 weeks, and that sucks, but there is nothing that either of us can do about it, both having prior commitments, but it doesnt make it suck any less.
Anyway, that's it for now... atleast I have written something.

Oh, and Sigma got a couple of late birthday presents, I may be forced to take and post pictures in the next couple of days, if I do, you/ll understand why.

I had a party this last Sunday for my cat Sigma Pi, as he is a very social cat, and loves it when anyone will give him attention. He wasn't a huge fan of the party hat, but loved the food, people, and presents!
( Here are some pictures )

I do feel bad for not writing, but like many things in my life, it appears to be getting put off for other things.

I keep finding myself falling more in love. This is a really different thing for me, and not something that I have felt a need to share with the world, but seeing as it seems to be the one thing that is consuming me, if I don't write about it, I appear to not have anything else to write about, or so I think.

I have not felt such peace before in my life. I have not felt such certainty in my life. Of course, we are waiting for time to go by, and being responsible about how we deal with this, as hard as it seems sometimes.

I have had my new kitty Sigma for almost a year now, I guess that makes him not so new. I have finally grown attatched to him... it took some time, as I was really attatched to Rex. I am going away to a scrapbooking weekend next month with ladies from my church. I am rather excited. IT will be a good way to pass the time while Frankie is in San Fransisco at a Valentines SCD.

It was nice to see my family a couple of times in the last month. I wish that I could find the time and money to go and visit again, and espcially see my Grandma while she is recovering, but alas I can't. I do seem to see my other Gramma more often though, and that has been nice.

It is Chinese New Year this weekend, year of the Dog. I will be going down to China Town on Saturday with Frankie, it will be very nice. Really looking forward to it.

Anyway, I am but alas rambling. Hope all is well. I have been reading LJ, just not commenting... I seem to do that almost as frequently as I post these days.

I keep reading everyone elses LJs and I keep thinking I should write. But the thing is, I don't feel I can share what is on my heart with the world, so I wonder what is the point of writing.

I need to go out and take a ton of pictures. Take bizzare pictures. Take pictures that can maybe somehow show my emotions.

I think I have felt the whole spectrum in the last week. Everything from severe heart ache to the most amazing peace. There is no way to explain any of it.

Thing with Frankie and I are great, but he is sick, so he probably won't make it this weekend. That sucks, but what can I do about it? Not much. I have a lot of things I need to get done this weekend... like playing the last post and revlille, and tutoring, and teaching. And eating pancakes. That will be the highlight of the weekend. I know that eating pancakes does not sound great.. but it is with amazing people, and they are the best homemade pancakes every, they are the size of the frying pan. Simply amazing.

So yea, this entry says little about my life. But I seem to be keeping more and more things to myself as life goes on... maybe I will have more to write later.
