Habits

Spent nearly my entire day outside de-cluttering my garage and backyard. With heavy trash scheduled for this week, i was able to finally throw out lotsa things that had been accumulating for months. Christmas decoration boxes that have been piling up were finally moved into the attic. The garage opened up and i was able to finally make a work station out of the architects table; there was finally enough room so that my workout bench was usable; there is room for me to do some photography work without setting up light stands all over the living room and disrupting/ important lego time.

Carol's dad is in town for three weeks, so now in addition to giving myself photography projects and making time to exercise, i have to figure out a series of projects for my 86 year old father-in-law to work on while he's here. For those of you who don't know, if he is left to his own devices he gets himself into all sorts of trouble and breaks my stuff. I have already lost a table saw and nearly a lawnmower to his fidgety hands. Tomorrow, he is going to prep out 2011 xmas tree for burning in the chimenea for when it gets cold this week.

Today, Maru came over to visit her dad and to have her pregnancy photo done before the baby is born this week. I shot her with a Vivitar on a silver umbrella and another on the background shot through a full bottle of Cuervo Tequila for color. No, i don't have a gel pack (yet).
