It surprised me how many of my friends (and you lurkers) enjoyed Volume I of my 2011 post in pictures. The thing that made me consider summarizing the year was when a friend asked me, “Did you have a good year?” What, exactly, makes a year good? Is it making more money and buying things [...]
When I considered collecting my favorite pictures from this year I went through them and gathered all the photos that meant something special to me. What I noticed is that I take a lot of photos of flowers and food and, of course, people I love. To pay homage to the year 2011 I wanted [...]

You know a song is infecting your brain when you wake up singing it every day for a week. It doesn’t take much for Common to infect me because I crush HARD on this man. He still doesn’t know he’s my boyfriend. By the way, are you watching him on AMC’s “Hell on Wheels”? I [...]
