A Spooktacular Halloween

This Halloween I am photographer at home, sick with a cold. Lame, I know. So while everyone else is out enjoying Halloween fun tonight, I will be at home on my couch enjoying scary movies. This blog will return to it’s regular scheduled program on Monday. Feel free to bring the ‘treats’ to my door :) What are your fun plans for this evening?

When our little black kitty gets spooked, this is where she runs and hides. She’s a wuss.

Sneak Peek

I had an awesome shoot yesterday with two friends from high school, who now have the cutest little family. Check back later this week for the full post!

How cute is she??!?

Did I mention she was NOT in the mood to have her picture taken… although I think it was just an act to see how many cart-wheels she could get mommy and daddy to do to get her to smile. Upset and all, she’s still absolutely adorable! Here, she saw an opening, and tried to make a run for it :)

Yes, that is a toothbrush…one of her favorite pastimes.

Op-FedEx.

This week has been a ridiculous package week and I absolutely love getting packages! My level of enthusiasm would probably be no different if a box came and there was a sole post-it note in it, versus a real live horse stuffed in a box. It’s kinda like eating a four scoop ice cream sunday with Auntie’s homemade hot fudge sauce, chocolate chips, oreo cookie crums, and 27 cherries on top. Yes, it’s that magnificent.

This week I have received a package Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Not sure what happened to Wednesday but I certainly saved the best for last…although yesterday’s wasn’t as easy as the other ‘left on my doorstep and knock’ packages. This one involved jumping out of bed at 945 with one eye still sleeping, and looking out the window only to realize that my FedEx man was driving away with my package… the one that was supposed to be on my doorstep! I threw on a sweatshirt, scaled three flights of steps, threw the car into drive and flew around the corner to see if I could find him. I lost him, but I certainly wasn’t going to give up that easily. I sped up and down the streets of Bethesda and finally found him just as he parked and took a big stack of packages into another building. All stealth like, I parked my car across the street and waited for him to come out…he had to come out eventually and I would be right there, sneak attack him, and throw down for my package. I was ready. So he came out and yada yada, I finally got my box.

Not sure if you know what it means…but trust me, a box from here is always a good thing.

Here she be, my prized possession:

And right before I left work yesterday my old manager showed up with this bag of boxes for me…no they aren’t all for me, just a couple :)

So… if you have any sweet packages….feel free to send em’ my way

M.J. Love - Megan,

Funny story. I would’ve jumped out of the trees like a ninja and started talking like those Kung Fu guys on the movies whose speech is out of sync with the English language. He wouldn’t had a chance. I hope you’d enjoyed your gift at Armin’s GTG at the Harbor? – M.J.November 13, 2008 – 12:09 pm

Armin - Congrats on the 70-200mm. It’s personally my favorite lens!October 27, 2008 – 11:40 pm

ER.

I AM stong. I AM strong. I AM strong. 

On days like today I have to remind myself, because it doesn’t come naturally.  He fell again, and I’m sure I was doing 90 the whole way to Annapolis, and the tears welling up in my eyes made the windshield quite blurry.  I hate the ER. It shouldn’t be called emergency room, it should be called the….’Hurry Up and Wait Forever Room’.  Waiting and starving, luckily Amanda smuggled in some contraband: pizza. Let me just tell you, pizza in a ER waiting room…is like gold…you can sell that stuff for $25 a slice!! After an hour or so, some nice lady snuck me into the back where dad had been laying…for well, a really long time.  Good news is that nothing is broken and we took him home with a few bumps on his head and sore ribs.  And after I got home from a long and emotional day, my roommate looked at me with tears in her eyes and said ‘hang in there girl.’  I’m trying. I really am.

Lazy Sundays.

Yesterday I received two death threats from two different people that if I didn’t blog more, I would be in big trouble. YIKES. So here I am, blogging two days in a row…woot woot.

On Sunday the offspring headed back to home territory, SP that is, for a day full of great food, great company, and games. Yippiee! (Note the sarcasm in that last one). All of us seem to be so busy these days that it’s rare that we can all get together and relax. This day was extra special because Brian landed his first job in a law office! Three undergrad degrees and one J.D. later (clearly an underachiever)…he’s finally doing what he loves to do. So of course, we had to celebrate.

Brian highjacking Amanda’s food.

I decided the cake needed a little love…Jack Sparrow to the rescue.

Congrats Brian!

Like I said…Yummy!
