you don’t know what you got ‘til its gone
My quiet has been a function of life. Usually I post during the day while I watch some experiment. For the past two weeks, I’ve spent that time grading homeworks. I went to Atlanta on my birthday for 4 days, so I worked by butt off to get everything in order so I wouldn’t be stressed out about taking the time off. See, my problem is not that I can’t take the time off to travel, but the fact that I have to get stuff done, so two days out of the office puts me behind.
Due to the silence, I have no had a chance to gush about the new ditigial camera porch boy got from his parents for graduation. I’ve been using tom’s, and it is quite nice to now have our one. (Though tom is awesome and has given me free rein with his camera since July. JULY! That is a long time to let someone run off with your camera. He is just that awesome.) The picture at the top is one of the first. Kitty with her cute pink tonge.
Atlanta was excellent. I took a ton of pictures, except forgot to get one with Shel. Oh well. I’ll just have to photoshop us together. : ) I love how I have friendships that just pick up easily. That is the hallmark of a great friendship. There are a couple of things that make me want to move back to Atlanta – the dekalb farmer’s market, kent’s apartment complex (complete with pool, workout room, and great water pressure) all for cheapish, and Atlanta. I do love Atlanta. I also love Chicago. I would pick Atlanta, though. One would think because it was warm, but it is more because you can still live in the city and buy land. Houses that have actual yards. Chris has an amazing backyard.

You know, I actually thought about that while we were out walking. But for some reason, I thought that a digital attempt to freeze some random moment in time would cheapen it. Still not really sure I understand the sentiment but I just thought what was important was the moment and not trying to document it and check it off some list. Hmm. I'm getting philosophical.
