So.. this started out totally different. The first shots from this series involved a mask and purple suede pumps... but it just wasn't working for me. So I decided to just go simple.

Good decision, I think.

It was a fun weekend. Mighty B came for a visit, and we went to a movie, and to the mall. And we goofed around in our pajamas.

This was prompted by a comment from someone in a discussion thread today. I was insulted, which led to this. I'm totally over it now, but it was fun.

Really, it's about sloth. Because I was being lazy and lolling around in bed.

Is it wrong that I only like Log Cabin brand syrup on my french toast? I really don't love syrup at all. I never use it on pancakes or waffles. Only on french toast, and only if there's Log Cabin.

I'm beginning to think that my word thing isn't going to last. I'll probably use it now and again, but I don't see it staying put for the remainder of this project.

One of the good things that's come of it is that, in perusing sites for quotes, I've found many that I liked and want to use, they just didn't seem to fit the particular shot I was searching about. So I started a list, and I'm going to try and do this in the reverse fashion now and again, and use the quote to inspire my photo.

In the spirit of randomness that seems to be my constant companion today, here's a list:

- why does my nose always itch while I'm fooling around? is it a concentration thing? I find that I'm always having to lose focus to scratch my nose. it's odd, I think. and more than a little frustrating from time to time.

- where the hell is that sweater I bought in North Carolina?

- the hairball that I produced while gunking up my hair with product this morning was phenomenally large, considering the fact that I just washed it yesterday.

- I need a new default ringtone

- I can't decide whether I should walk over to 24 hour fitness and break my lazy streak by actually starting to run like I've been saying I'm going to, or just sit here and keep typing.

This one could have been 'procrastination' as well. I looked at the clock at 11:49 as I was crawling into bed and remembered that I hadn't taken any photos at all that day. Not one to be daunted by the extreme pressure of a deadline 11 minutes away, I set the camera on the bedside table, grabbed the remote, and took ONE shot. This is how it ended up.

Craptastic? perhaps. But it is what it is.

My original idea for this shot was in the "one of these things is not like the others" neighborhood, but that was when I thought we had less bunnies and more doggies. Either way, this one made me happy in the end.

It's been an evening, let me tell you!

I got home, late, to find the laundry room, hallway, and part of Mad's room flooded because the drain hose for the washer had come out of the thing back there (yeah, yeah - I'm super technical, I know) and water was everywhere. While I was sopping up water, my fingers got closed in the door that I was using to steady myself, so I'm missing some serious skin on a couple of digits in the cuticle area, and my pinkie finger is going to hurt like a sonofabitch in the morning because it took the brunt of the squish dead-center on my nail bed. I screamed, but then felt bad because everyone was thinking I'd been electrocuted or something, because the wicked squeaking noise it made when it got smooshed (due, I'm sure, to the superior gel product covering my natural nail) was kind of ... eerie, really.

It doesn't hurt right now because I'm drunk and don't care very much. It's just sort of throbbing. But I'm sure that that will be different in the morning.

We laid on the bed. We giggled. We made faces at each other. There were kisses and nuzzles and crossed eyes and tongues stuck out and even a couple of tickles. And a lot of hair.

It was a good evening.
