What I'm Reading Now

Michael lives in my neighborhood. I do not know him but I see him around all the time. This book (his first) was named one of the top 10 best books of 2007 by the NY Times Book Review. He also just won the Impac Dublin Literary Award.

What I Just Read

My rating:

(I need to cry for 5 stars.)

Janelle interviewed me eons ago for Salon.com. She's a sassy lady who's super nice. This is her first novel. It received rave reviews and I loved every minute of it.

Fish Lips

Jack has learned how to give kisses.

Nora doesn't like them because she says, "They're wet."

I took these pics on Christmas day and they're so funny. Look at Jack's big fish lips as he desperately tries to give his sissy a kiss. The look on Nora's face is priceless; she so isn't amused.


Jack trying to give Nora a kiss

C'mon, sissy, let me give you a kiss

Still trying

Still trying


And he settles for a hug:

I'll settle for a hug

Flickr Buddies

To all my Flickr buddies... I'm joining these groups for fun photo challenges this year. You should join, too!

Mission 24
Approximately once a week, group members will be given an assignment like “patterns” or “purple” or “minutia” or “signage” or "action", etc. You will then have 24 hours from the time of the assignment to take new pictures that interpret the assignment and post your best ones by the deadline for the group to see.

365 Days
The 365 Days group is a project in which members submit one self portrait each day for a year. A self portrait is a photo of yourself taken by you - it is not a photo of you taken by someone else and it is not a photo of something you hold near and dear to your heart. Please don't try to interpret 'self portrait' into something drastically different than what it is. You are only allowed to submit one photo for each day. Only one. Feel free to do whatever you want to do within your own 365 Days set, but only send one to the pool. Rules here.

PS - I'll also be uploading my 365 photos to JPG Magazine. Mark introduced me to this website a while ago and I love it. Here's my profile page. Join (it's free!) and be my friend. This is so sad, but right after I posted this, I received an email that jpgmag is no longer and is shutting down Monday, January 5th. :(

52 Blessings
Once a week you post a photo of something you are most grateful for. It's like a photo gratitude journal.

Okay, I only have four hours left to take my first 365 portrait, so I best be going!
