This Isn't A Resolution...

...but it is a goal. You see...

A few years ago, I read an article (I think in Oprah's magazine) that Carly Simon kept a Polaroid Journal. How cool is that (except now Polaroid film is no longer manufactured)? So I am going to try and take at least one photo a day of something. Maybe more, who knows? I know that I won't be able to post one every day but I will play catch up.

And you my readers will see what I photograph. So with that said...

January 1, 2010 (more photos can be found here.
I was invited to a party at the home of Tony & Ross. It was also a pool party and even though the pool was heated and it was 92 degrees Farenheit, the actual temperature in Houston was in the 50s. I opted not to jump in the pool. Ross made some yummy black-eyed peas and for me to say they were yummy, they were YUMMY! I HATE black-eyed peas but if you don't eat any on New Year's Day, you will have bad luck during the year.

This is a pic of the sunset in Houston. I took this pic from Memorial Drive in NoRO while I was walking Calvin.

I then went to a party at Lan & Bryan's. They supplied the booze and the guests supplied the food and OMG I was stuffed when I left.


January 2, 2010
The City charter requires that the new mayor be sworn in on January 2, along with the City Controller. Because it was on a Saturday, Annise Parker opted to do a private ceremony and do a public ceremony on January 4. This would save quite a bit of money because City workers wouldn't have to come in on Saturday. This is a pic I snapped from Channel 2.

While I was watching the news, I was doing laundry. Calvin opted to pass out. You see...

He was real lethargic because we went to see the vet to get his booster shots. It wore him and me out!

A Mobile Snow Globe

Ryan Korsgard, who is a neighbor, friend and reporter for KPRC Channel 2 did a cute story about a lady who has turned her car into a mobile snow globe. What a cute idea! I really like it when this type of a story is shown to the viewers. I am so tired of stories about Cheetah Tiger Woods.

The link to the story is here. The video link is found in the story.

blogging Hurricane Ike (part V)

Had a dream that my boss walked into the office and said the storm had changed direction and was heading toward New Orleans so everybody get back to work.

That woke me up at 354a CDT. Went to the living room to turn on the telly to see if the dream was true and it wasn't. Ike is still going to hit us. If Tina can take punches from Ike, so can we.

On the telly at this early hour are Lauren Freeman & Owen Conflenti along with Jonathan Novack at Channel 2: Your Education Station. Normally they're broadcasting at 500a CDT. Anthony Yanez is missing.

Speaking of missing people, where is Ryan Korsgard? Didn't see him on the 1000p CDT news last night.

I realized something a few minutes ago. Going to Ft. Worth isn't going to do much good because once Ike makes landfall and goes limp, his remnants will probably dowse the Ft. Worth-Dallas area.

OK. So, I'm wide awake. Should I do laundry? Go for a run? Try to go back to sleep? Too early to walk Calvin.
