My babies!!! My two little darlings were laying next to each other on the couch before I left for the match. Barkley is on the right and our new addition, Cranberry, is on the left. You can see her one eye doesn't reflect like the other. She has an ulcer that is healing. She was a puppy mill dog for the first three years of her life and we are thrilled to have given her a new home and a new life.

Well, tonight I went to get my hair cut and colored. I love what she did to the sides, but my mom brought up a good point that there seems to be color missing from the bottom. What do you all think???

This is a view of my classroom from my doorway. The work table at the center of the room is relatively clean as is my area by my computer. Give me a few days and it won't look like that anymore. You'll see the piles that are always laying around, but I know exactly what is where when I need it unless someone tries to help me ;)

Changes was one of the topics for this week/month. I chose this picture because my mom and our new family addition, Cranberry, are still adjusting to each other. We adopted Cranberry about three weeks ago. She was rescued from a puppy mill, where she had spent the first three years of her life. She LOVES my father, but is not so sure about my mom. You can see my mom trying hard to make friends and Cranberry just not so sure. Hopefully in a few weeks, I will be able to post a picture of the two of them as wonderful friends!

Okay, so this isn't a photo I took on this day, but it is a picture that I colorsplashed. My dear friend had this application on her iPhone and I finally downloaded and played with it. I think this was a pretty good first attempt! This is the guitar outside of the Hard Rock Cafe in Los Angeles, CA. I was there this summer during my first doctoral residency.

January 1, 2010 - My resolution of sorts

One of the suggestions was to take an image about a resolution for 2010. These are my friends, Brandi and Jason, who took me with their family on vacation to the Outer Banks over the 2009 Holidays. I am finally back to a point in my life where I feel good and am looking forward to possibly finding a special someone of my own. (So if you know any single 30 something guys looking for a special ed teacher/techie dork...let me know!!!)

The "mad scientists" are hard at work creating creepy, crawling critters in their special laboratory at the beach. This picture was taken our last night at the beach. Jacob got this gift and was showing his little sister Eliza how it works.
