It looks like we might be getting more rain/ice/sleet/snow this weekend. I’m hoping to go back to Georgia to see my family, but might have to postpone the trip.
In other news, I’m working on a little project that I’m not letting anyone know about just yet. It’s nothing big, but I’ve been meaning to do this for a few years now, so I’m glad I’m working on it.
A couple weekends ago, Scott and Caroline came down to visit. It’s always nice to see friends, and we had a good time.
I’ve got a lot going on lately. These posts aren’t so great.
It’s been an interesting week or so. I’ve been working on designing a website with about a week turnaround. That’s the design up there. It needs a lot of work but I’m not worrying about it too much since I don’t have much of a timeline to work on it.
I will be driving down to Jacksonville Beach this weekend to attend my Uncle Terry’s memorial service. I’ll probably spend about 14 hours in the car. It’ll be good to see my family and to hear stories about him.
If I didn’t have so much to do, I’d write more. There’ll be another entry tomorrow seeing as it’s been 6 days since the last.
I made some tabouli and falafel. I found some really cheap boxes of mix and recipe to bake it instead of frying it. Lunch has been great lately.
A couple years ago my uncle Ed gave me a worn out cardboard box full of old cameras, flashes, and film. I’ve gone through them a little and looked up some info, but have recently started to come up with some sort of idea for putting together a document with images of the cameras and other equipment and all of the relevant info I can find. It should be an interesting project to work on. First, though, I really want to build some sort of light box for taking photos.
I haven’t had much free time lately, but I do still try to draw/whatever in my Moleskine.
In other news, some friends are visiting tonight. We’re going out downtown for new years and all.
Probably my favorite photo of my dad on his own.
This morning I went through and scanned some old photos I’ve had in a box under the bed. This is one of my favorite photos of my dad and I.

Every year my mom’s side of the family comes over to my parents’ house before Christmas. I usually tend to just drink beer and watch the festivities, but most of them end up playing Tripoley for pennies. Everyone came over this past weekend. I hadn’t seen them all since the wedding in August.
This weekend I will be getting the last Christmas gifts and hopefully watching it snow a little as well. Weather.com is predicting a little bit for us tomorrow afternoon/night. I’m going to pick up firewood and extra beer after work today. I expect the grocery store to be annoyingly packed.
This year’s Christmas will be a lot different than any I’ve had before. My parents are going 0ut to Wyoming to spend Christmas with Amanda and Evan. I’ve never spent a Christmas away from my family. I’m jealous that they get to spend time out in Laramie. I was out there for Christmas two years ago and I loved it.
This past weekend I went down to Roswell to see my parents and see my mom’s side of the family. Before everyone came over to the house for our annual party, Mom and Dad gave me my gifts, and they were really generous. One of my favorite things they do is give me something small and funny. In the past they’ve given me a Chia pet. This year I got an Eye Grow. It seems like it’s basically a small Chia pet type deal. Anyhow, when I got home yesterday, I watered it and set it going.
I need to set up a light box so I can better photograph stuff.
