It's the weekend and we're needing just a bit of a treat. Whole wheat pizza with fat free mozzella, turkey sausage, and onions.

Whirlwind Week

The second week of this new year certainly was a whirlwind of a week, seems like everyday past Monday just sped on by!

Tuesday found us waiting in the doctors office for a bit too long... I just hate how much time is spent in these rooms! While we haven't really had any snow since October, the temps dropped enough for the daughter's boots to make an appearance. 



Got the Boot!

I find that I'm shooting a lot with the iPhone, love this convenient little device because it is always with me without weighing me down. Since it's also my phone, I dare not leave home without it.

Wednesday was off to a pretty bad start...

Bad Start

Daughter's car wouldn't turn over for anything... off to the mechanic we sent it! Not a horrible diagnosis, just some spark plugs needed to be replaced. Glad it happened now and not next week when she's back at school for her final semester. :-)

On a client visit I found this cute little couple just watching over things in the office

Desktop Buddies

My little friend Jeero is always looking for some "Snackers", but I think he's feeling a bit bloated from all the cookies

Lighter Snackers

Saturday afternoon Kate and I had the most delicious Peppers and Egg sandwich I've had in ages. She found an awesome recipe, I think this one is a keeper.

Lunch!

Sundays are so refreshing, a great day to relax! Hopefully the chores are done and a nice light snack of fresh apples can be enjoyed in peace and quiet.

Sliced!

And here we are, right back at Monday again... Monday morning just doesn't seem so bad when you have a friend right by your side...

Watching You

And as a bonus... another black and white shot, from Saturday's lunch preparation

Easing the Boredom

There are two items that I always have with me; my camera and SugarPup. There are times when they are all that keeps boredom at bay. So glad I had them with me today, an appointment for a checkup with a wait that was just too much to bear. I forgot my book and SugarPup is always a willing model! Problem solved.

How do you stay occupied when appointments take longer than expected?

SugarPup examines the video card to the office computer, seems there was a loud POP! and a little while later the monitor went a little crazy. "I think these exploded capacitors are the culprit" Good find SugarPup, I couldn't agree more!

As I walked into the office this morning I was surprised to see SugarPup sitting on the conference room table. When I asked what she was doing said she was practicing holding meetings. "I don't want to be stuck just working in the office all the time, if I get good at meetings I'll be able to go out to meet clients with you!"

Gotta love a girl that wants to get ahead!

SugarPup was thrilled to learn that my daughter Kate will have her own Country Music radio show starting in three weeks. She helped us to pull out all the country records and cd's that we've collected over the years and now wants to learn how to line dance.

She is here with a small sampling of our collection
