Photo-A-Day 642 011007

This is Oliver in mid yawn. I love it because he looks goofy and lately he’s been looking a little to tough with the big scratch across his nose. Ollie was sitting and laying wrapped up in a green blanket and he looked so cute so I got my camera and started to take his picture. This is Oliver’s cue to get up and un-cute himself. But I got him back I put up a goofy picture of him on the Internet as Photo-A-Day.

Why is it that when a plane arrives early to the airport this means that you are going to arrive in the terminal 20-30 minutes late. Yes, this happened to me today. I flew from Cedar Rapids to ORD and we arrived early. Cause for celebration, um no. This means we park for a while because there is a plan at out gate, them we take the scenic route to the gate after a 10 minute site. all in all my flight was supposed to get in at 8:00am and we got in at 7:50am but didn’t get to the gate and off the plane till 8:25am. I hate hearing that we got there early because efficiency is not rewarded in air travel. It just isn’t. On a good note Allison’s bags actually arrived today via FedEx. Now we need to ship the shower gifts back down to PA. It never ends.

Had lunch with Allison today, she was very happy that I didn’t end up gong to TX and I didn’t end up gone for an entire week. I’m glad to be home but was also looking forward to some Texas pictures. Oh well, I am headed to Texas next month (as of now) We’ll see about some pictures then.We’ll see about some pictures then.

Also Birthday wishes to Lindsay, Michelle, and Peggy who share their birthdays with Allison.

Thanks everyone who sent Allison cards, e-cards and called her. My second demo this week got canceled so I was able to make it home for Allison’s birthday. Glad we have such wonderful friends and family.

Hanging up pictures

Once the new wall is finished int he house we will be hanging up some pictures including the 5 Photo-a-Day Collages that I created for the Staff Art Show. Traditional wall hanging options have always been a pain in the neck for me. When we do the living room over and make it the dining room we will find evidence of those difficulties. There are going to be holes all over the place. I think I am going to buy us a set of Hercules Hooks to use to hang many of the pictures, they look easy to use and seem to be pretty strong. I have heard good things about them and I think I will buy us a set of them.

Check back in a month or so and I’ll let you know how they worked out for us.
