I know, I know

It's been a loooooong time since I've written a blog entry. Sorry. Holidays, anniversaries, and way too much work - it has been a rough couple of weeks for me. My friend at work looked me straight in the eye the other day and said, "You need a vacation." She's right - a vacation and a re-evaluation. But who has time for that? Certainly not me. I've got tuition to raise and the clock ticks ever loudly. So, I'll continue existing until spring when I can start living again. If that made no sense to you, consider yourself lucky. Moving on... I've been slacking with the picture taking these days. Guess I'm pouting since I still don't have a new camera. I will, however, share the top two photos of recent weeks: First we have this beauty. It is brought to you by a team effort: me, my brother, and unwittingly - Stephanie. It is a big family joke about how much and how fast my Dad eats. Seriously, this man can eat you out of house and home and he isn't shy about it. It was always embarassing to take him to my ex's parents' home for dinner. She (being a typical Jewish mother who loves to feed people) and he (eating like it was his first meal in years) were quite the dynamic! For some reason, he becomes awful shy when there is a camera around - I just can't imagine why *wink*. After several failed attempts to capture this eating machine in action, we finally got the shot we wanted. He was distracted by a conversation with Stephanie (who joined us for Christmas dinner) and my brother saw the opportunity. *Snap!* The perfect shot. He looks like a chipmunk! Lol!! A post on the internet is just the beginning; I've got mass e-mails and posters to distribute. Ha ha ha!!! This next shot was taken at a hookah bar. I'd never even heard of hookah before. It was a lot of fun: cool atmosphere, good music, delicious food, and of course great hookah. Here I am pictured next to Paul after he'd taken a ridiculously big hit of the hookah. LMAO! Looks like he's grown a beard! Well, with the roughest winter weeks behind me, I anticipate the same random blogging you have come to expect. As spring approaches, you can expect more accounts of adventures in the life of me. Thanks for all the comments and e-mails from my blogging buddies while I was away - ya'll are too sweet to me! I'm slowly coming out of hibernation - so watch out! :) Smiley for the Day:
