Because all I think about is food.
I would like to be one of those cooking show people with two ovens. Think about it. Thanksgiving: mom, sisters, and aunts swirling around the kitchen, fighting over if the brussels sprouts or pie should go into the oven. "The brussels sprouts are part of the meal, plus you don't want it smelling all turkey-fied." one says. "But the pie needs time to cool!" another argues. Then you step in and offer, "Put the pie in the lower oven and the brussels sprouts in the top." Aaahhhh. Peacekeeping int he kitchen has never been so easy.

Scout
Sometimes, just sometimes, you catch your pets looking like total dorks. At the risk of turning this ito a photo blog, I bring you Scout. Scout is my 3 year old Sun Conure, and a couple days ago I caught her trying to imitate the cockatiels she loves to hang out with this "one feather up" feather 'do. And no, I definitely did not do this to her--I found her like this one morning, acting like everything was normal (clamoring for treats, of course).

Day 25: Merry Christmas!
...and this was after one round of gifts had been opened!
We had a wonderful Christmas with J's family and my own. Pictured here is my sister's tree, after the second wave of gifts (from my parents and J and myself) ascended upon it. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and New Year!
Day 24: All is calm, all is bright
J's parents' backyard. Nothing really says "sleep in heavenly peace" like this does in the winter.
Day 23: Spice
Westerners may have holly and holly berries to symbolize the holidays, but we Thais have chili peppers.
Day 21: Pa rup pum pum pum
J's relatives from New Orleans came up last Sunday to celebrate the holidays with the rest of us. His mother always puts together a beautiful tree complete with everyone's favorite ornaments and decorations. Here, you can see the drummer boy, which fascinated J as a child (and is ironic considering that "The Little Drummer Boy" is one of J's least favorite Christmas songs).
Day 20: Belle
Belle likes to try to look sad and pitiful just so she can score more gifts. (Mom made her a new sweater--sssh.)
Day 18: Ruffles and Shine
I finally made it to my desktop computer, where there were no glitches uploading photos! Woohoo! It's been a busy, eventful, but fun couple of weeks, and without further adieu, I bring you the rest of my December photos. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
Day 18: Getting ready for J's company's holiday party--bring on the feathers and glitz!

Delays, delays
I've still been taking pictures every day, but have been having trouble uploading pictures as I was trying to catch up these past two days. Hopefully it'll all be resolved by tonight. If you've been keeping up with my photo project, sit tight!

Day 17 - Leftovers
We live on the sunnier side of the street, which means our snow always disappears first. I was so happy to see these remnants still hanging around this afternoon.

Day 16 - Mason
When I got into work this morning, the roads were clear and there was not a drop of precipitation. 90 minutes later, this is what campus looked like. I have no windows in my office, so imagine my surprise when I walked out and past this window on the way to the bathroom.
Day 14 - Countdown
Sorry again for the late updates--between visiting old friends 'til the wee hours of the night to just being plain ol' tired, I haven't been to my computer in the evenings these past few days. That said, this photo is from my office desk perspective--my calendar countdown (with a cheery bouquet of crocheted flowers) to winter break at work and a few days off to relax.

Day 13 - First Snow!
Is it cheating if your sweet husband leaves some pictures on your camera because he knows you love your sleep so much you'll miss this first light dusting of snow? Courtesy of J.
Day 12 - Pho
Another cell phone photo: Pho from a great place in the Eden shopping center, in celebration of not having a migraine and almost finishing our holiday shopping.
Day 11 - Migraine
Sorry this is so late--I had a migraine this day and spend most of it in bed. The only photo I managed to snap was this one, on my cell, from my bedridden perspective: my conure Bartok attacking a piece of bread with jam on it. The darkness, blurriness, and overall disorganization of this shot encapsulates how my head felt pretty well.

You know you're excited about Christmas when you start gathering everything you own into groups of red and green.
