Penguin Non Grata

Oh my… It’s pretty sad when you can’t even follow through on a project you assigned to yourself. But really, I’ve been so busy with projects assigned by others that I either haven’t had a chance or just haven’t felt like posting.

So, what we have here is a months worth of photos in one post. For those of you who are following along, sorry for the delay. I’ve been a little uninspired lately and it’s all I can do to just deal with life in general. Overall It’s been a rough month, but an enlightening one… and once I get over this latest speedbump It’ll all be a-ok.

Required job fairs are more fun when you get toys. I always avoid the freebies because I don’t want to look like I’m shopping… but I couldn’t resist this little guy.

I always wondered what Alan would look like as a lion. Cute.

Heterosexual life partner Rachil does not like her picture taken. I am determined though, and WILL get one by the end of the year.

I included a “Big Hunk” in the valentine’s gifts for the girls at work… but did not read the instructions:

Evidently, it is necessary to smack your big hunk. Who knew!

Fun with iPhone apps.

Chewy has her own TV show:

Brittney is a pirate:

Ben is a gladiator:

And I’m trying my best to look like Luigi’s insane cousin:

I got a much needed haircut today… and there was this lady in Ulta with this tiny pup. I was in the chair and couldn’t get a pic, so I sent LaDonna to snap one. Thanks LD!!

No picture today. Instead you get a video of a horse, no wait, it’s  a a butterfly and I’m told it very well may be a moth.

Slacker radio gave us a blast from the past this morning…

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

No picture today either. *bad lala!* So, to fill the empty space, I give you Chicktionary. Warning: I’ve been playing it on the iPhone and it’s addictive!

Today we had the first of two baby showers at work. This one was for Stacie, our boss. I know she probably doesn’t feel cute about now… but she’s so adorable with her baby belly!!

Thursday, February 26, 2009

No official pic today… so here’s a blast from the past! Yes, I did attend the prom… but only long enough to take a picture. Yes, the necklace is actually a cat collar that happened to match my dress, and if you could see the shoes… you would know that they were actually white patent rave style shoes with silver stripes. I was so (not) cool. Geez… Anywhoo… the date was my HS sweetheart, Jamie Poovey.

No pic again… and the filler for the day will be a random pic from flickr!!

It’s my dad with his model A truck. My brother and dad are into cars… and this is one of the collection. Cute, eh?

Saturday, February 28, 2009

NOTE TO SELF: In the future, if you think you may fall asleep on the couch… hide the camera from Alan.

Sunday, March 1, 2009

We shall call this one “Self portrait blur no. 1″

Monday, March 2, 2009

No pic again… random flickr picture!! Is this cheating with the whole pic a day? Well, until someone invents a time machine so I can go back and snap a pic… it’ll have to do.

My big brudder and me… aren’t we cute!?

Tuesday, March 3, 2009

Surprise! No picture!!

Oh Noes!!! I’m not sure who this is… the disguises are so good! Oh, it’s just Alan and me…

Baby shower number two was today. Stephanie threw one for Adrienne at California Dreaming. A good time was had AND I got to have my favorite “Hot Vegetable Salad”… noms galore.

Here’s the mom-to-be, Adrienne, opening gifts:

Bill was a trooper, he’s her supervisor and as such was obligated to be the only man at the shower. He doesn’t look too scarred by the event. I imagine some men might enjoy going to lunch with 20 women!!

No pic… INSERT FILLER!!!

This is an old one… but it was such a great day. Alan and I went for a ride, and then got lost temporarily misplaced on the way back. It was so beautiful that I didn’t want to be “found” again…

Friday, March 6, 2009

Today was just one of those days… I learned something about someone that I suppose I’ve been blind to for a while now. It saddens me, but at least I know where I stand. I will never forget this feeling…

I know it’s not a picture, not really, but it works better than any image could:

Ikea day!!! The new ikea in Charlotte opened, so while visiting Lissa, Rob, and the girls, I stopped by.

Sunday, March 8, 2009

Filler picture: NOTE: this is not mine… but is one of my flickr favorites.

Wrong on so many levels *shakes head*…

Monday, March 9, 2009

No picture today… such a slacker. Another filler pic will have to do. This one is really special to me… It’s my oldest brother, Paul, with my mom. I found out about his existence almost a year ago, and just met him this past thanksgiving. He and his wife are such wonderful people. I’m glad to have finally met them!

Who looks grumpier, Kristen or Grumpy Smurf??

Wednesday, March 11, 2009

No picture today, so I’ll give a shout out to Lego Star Wars. Alan and I have been playing it lately. Love it!

Thursday, March 12, 2009

Another rough day today… no picture, but this:

A few of us took a field trip to the new corporate office building today. It is going to be AMAZING!!! I can’t wait to move in.

Highlight: color scheme/overall design of the building

Secondary Highlight: We had to wear hardhats!!!!

Here’s Stephanie, Me, and Diane (the IS - billing crew!):

The rest of the gang (some of the billing peeps) from left to right we have Deborah, Karen (billing mgr), Me, Diane, Vicki, Anitra, Stephanie, and Jessica:

I found Joss Whedon’s new show, Dollhouse on Hulu today. We watched 4 episodes… I really like it, but am afraid to get to into it. I was so sad when firefly was off the air. We’ll see if this one lasts.

Sunday, March 15, 2009

Today’s agenda: Homework. Spring break is over, and it’s back to the grind tomorrow… no pic, but since I’m on the subject… school friend Nick is now featured on the homepage for our college. He’ll probably kill me for drawing attention to this… but he should be proud of himself!! You rock Nick (please don’t give me a cease and desist…)!
