This pic is similar in theme to the one I took of plush Gromit holding his DVD. Here's another family favorite-- "Finding Nemo". And surrounding the DVD? A turtle (like the ones who accompanied the fish in the EAC), a shark ("fish are friends, not food!") and of course, Nemo (or is it Marlin?) himself!
This is Toddy last night. He ended up rolling off the bed and onto the blanket that happened to be folded up on the floor next to his side of the bed. Good thing the bed's low to the ground, the floor is carpeted, and the blanket was there to cushion it all! The kid slept right through it all, too!
You get 2 images today, but I count them as one because they are 2 pics of the same thing-- TV screens on every pump at Shell stations. As soon as you begin pumping gas, they flicker to life and provide you with some entertainment-- mostly in the form of advertisements for various products and upcoming TV shows on ABC.
Todd throwing up a gang symbol? Sure looks like it, doesn't it? No, we'd merely taught him how to hold up 3 fingers to show how old he'll be on his next birthday-- coming up soon. Oh, and that brown T-shirt he's wearing? That's Mommy's "U.S. Army" t-shirt :-D
How NOT to make cheese sauce: trying to melt cheese and milk in a saucepan. This is the clumpy, curdled end result of Allan's failed attempt. Well, at least we learned what NOT to do, for future reference! :-D
The 101 Freeway that runs North-South along the California coast, is dotted with these signs every so often. I see this particular one a lot, as it's on the southbound route between Santa Barbara and Ventura. Although I was never assigned to the 101st Airborne Division, I do like the military association of these signs :-)
I cheated a bit today, and had to ask Lisa to snap a photo of this for me. It's a picture of my birthday gift to her this year-- a copy of Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird". It arrived in her mailbox today, and it also happens to be my all-time favorite book. The movie adaptation isn't too bad, either!
Yes, I admit it. We are lazy parents :-P Sunday was a quiet, relaxing day. It was raining outside so it was the perfect day to be cooped up, snug and warm, indoors. So we just spent the day lounging around, watching movies, most notably "Finding Nemo".
Cocktail party on Saturday, last one of its kind at the Geekhouse! Here's a shot of me and my some of the girls, 4 of us work at the same company, in fact! :-) Guess which 4 ;-)
It's a dreary day today. It's cloudy, cold and rainy. And this is supposed to be April in Southern California, for cryin' out loud! Here's a view of the parking lot behind the building where I work. Wet lot, cloudy gray skies. Oh, and that's my car under the pink arrow :-)
I love frogs. Toads are close enough. Here is a shot of me with Mr. Toad while waiting in line for "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride". Who is Mr. Toad, you ask? Why, just read "Wind in the Willows", my good friend :-)
After today's trip to Disneyland, there was no shortage of photos to choose from. Here is a shot of the outside of "Small World", one of my favorite rides in the park. Yes, the world truly is that small :-)
Taking pictures everyday, or at random here and there, has become much easier ever since I got a phone with a camera built in :-) I don't always carry my digital camera everywhere, but I do carry my phone everywhere. So here she is-- my Motorola RAZR with the lovely dragon tattoo, source of many odd and quirky photos taken throughout the months I've had it :-D
Here's an array of a few of my favorite candies. Haribo Gummi Bears, Red Vines licorice (better when stale), Smarties and Whoppers (chocolate malt candy).
My idea for this photo came to me while sitting at the computer. I spied one of the Wallace and Gromit DVDs on the shelf next to me and decided-- hey, we have a stuffed Gromit, and since my first picture was of a stuffed dog, why not continue the trend? Here's Gromit showcasing his "Tail-Waggin' DVD", an accompaniment to the Were-Rabbit DVD.
