It’s another one of those times where I sit down to write but find I have nothing to say but have an urge to put in something. So, let’s see if I can think about what’s been happening.

– Elijah’s chin seems to be healing quite nicely. Poor thing though, having band-aids so much on it has made his skin very dry. I’ve tried moisturizing but it hasn’t helped yet so I’m trying to keep from putting band-aids on. As long as that scab holds, we’ll be good.

– We started, or rather, Steve started up the wood stove for the first time tonight. Ah, warmth. And fairly cheap, too. Too bad it’s all such a pain in the butt!

– I ate 3/4 of a box of Mike & Ike tonight (Elijah ate the other 1/4). Thank you, Sarah, for reminding the pregnant lady that those things exist! And thank goodness for fat free Mike & Ike!

– Oh, crap. Now I’m craving fried chicken for the second time in 3 days.

– I’ve done a little scrapbooking here lately:

Cute, aye? ;-)

Putting up the Christmas Tree — We put up the Christmas tree the other night. Or rather, I put the thing together and arranged the branches and put the lights on, then Elijah hit it with the ornaments. Most of the ornaments got put on the “front” of the tree (in the photo) and very few are on the “back.” He likes to group them together. He’s quite proud of the tree, though, so as long as it doesn’t fall over, who cares!?

– I did realize though, as I do every year, that our little collection of Dr. Suess’ Cat in the Hat ornaments are not complete. These things were sold by Burger King several years ago and I was able to get all but one, the fish. They’re silver plated or something, and of a good size, I love them. I wonder if I can find the fish on Ebay or something? Hmmm… Well that was easy, found several and not overly expensive, bought & paid for!

– I’ve been thinking a lot about my sister-in-law’s wedding in April that I am the photographer for. I’ve only officially done two weddings before, as you know, including the one in August. The previous one was several years ago when I was shooting film. So this will be my first indoor wedding with this dSLR. SO, I’ve already decided I need to get the SB-600, after research I don’t think that the increase in cost is worth it for the SB-800. But, I do think I will get this Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Lens. Happy, too, to find that buying both of those at amazon will save me $60 over the prices at where I bought my camera (which at the time was cheaper than amazon, heh).

– Um, that’s it for now!
