Good day. Woke up late, thought it was 8ish judging from the fullness of my bladder (confession: it's a rare night when the necessity to void rears it's ugly head later than 2am) but when I came upstairs and Morgann was already sitting in front of our kitchen kiosk. I thought *she* was up unusually early until I noticed the clock above her head, which read 10:21am.

The younger monkeys were at their dad's this weekend, so it was me, Jim and Morgann in the house by ourselves today and it was really good. We all worked on housework which forced the issue of when I was going to clean off my very neglected desk (it looks so much better now), and then Morgann and Jim went futon shopping. This is actually a big occurrence in our household because it means Morgann has decided that she is going to be here for a while. And while I'm somewhat mourning the loss of my Office, I am glad that she has decided to be a fulltime member of the family - a long-overdue decision, to be sure. At least in mine and her father's opinion. Morgann is fitting well into family traditions as well as helping to create her own, in essence creating her own niche in the family. Tonight I was able to join her in watching a little bit of Transformers, a present for being hired at our local publisher (starting Monday, November 5!). It was fun.

Did I say I was going to write sbout an ambition today? Hmm, I shall write about it tomorrow. Until then....

Pictures, to me, are a tangible memory cue to happy times in my life and a photographic chronicle of my kids and grandkids during their journeys to adulthood and beyond. And to be completely honest, I do like looking at pictures of myself as the skinny young thing I was once upon a time. To take a picture is to grab a part of a memory to store it away for safekeeping. That said, as much as I enjoy taking pictures, I fear I am not very good at it. I want to be, I think I can be, but when I take pictures and look at them critically afterwards, I don't like what I see. My current camera is a point-and-shoot Nikon Coolpix L100 . It's a fine camera and easy to use, but I'm not very methodical about what and how I do things. I often don't remember what settings I use, so it's difficult for me to successfully edit my photos la...
