So, here are a few of my favorites that don’t include members of the wedding party (not their faces, at least).
(See these and more at our website, Stripes and Spots.)
Finally got down to the trails today.
Work was really, really hard. I have a manager who is both kind and generous, while also having the worst temper out of anyone I’ve ever known. We were busy to the point that I couldn’t get anything done, task-wise, except address the needs of the customer. Then my manager, who hasn’t had a day off in weeks, came in to “help”. All he did was grumble around and eventually lose his temper and throw something because there wasn’t Splenda on our condiment bar. I feel for the guy, but this brought me to angry tears. I called him out on it and he almost lost his cool on me. I gotta admit, confrontation isn’t really my style. Manager kept telling me to breathe, and I kept saying, “Believe me, I’m trying.”
Rain has finally come, though, in an otherwise dry winter. Stepping outside, knowing my face has been in a nonstop state of pinkish-red all day (really, all week), the cool breeze and mist on my cheeks relieved me. The smell of douglas firs and ponderosa pines in the rain is glorious, and you can smell it all over town. After scarfing some nachos as a comforting lunch, we took a walk. In Los Alamos, that means being suddenly on a trail, if you want to be. Thank goodness. I could breathe again.
The invitation for the first wedding Stripes and Spots is photographing showed up today. I’m so excited!
I couldn’t take it anymore. I went outside for a walk. I’ve been sick for so long (okay, three weeks) that I was beginning to forget what it was like just to walk outside! Well, turns out I’d end up regretting it, as the coughing is back. Joe even got a delightful shot of me, mid-cough. Anyhow, I got a few nice snow shots.
These are some delightful measuring spoons Brittani got Joe and me when we got married. We never actually use them to measure anything, I’ll admit, but they’re such a perfect kitchen accessory to have on our window sill! We have a tiny kitchen and can’t really afford to have a lot of non-practical decoration in it, so these are about as much as we can do. In any case, who knew we could keep the whole set around this long without breaking them? We haven’t done that with a single other thing we got in 2008!
