Personal Fab Five…
I have a confession. I’m musically clueless. I never know anything by the latest groups, or even not the latest, but the ones I shouldn’t have missed. I seem to stay a pretty steady 2-3 years behind the tunes. It’s sad, but true. But now I have Music Utopia at [...]
Sing Along Time…
So far, what I have seen of the Rhapsody Digital Music Service ROCKS! Every artist I can think of is available. From big names like Madonna and Sting to comedians like Stephen Lynch and Rodney Carrington. I already have a play list in my library that is a mile long. I [...]
Squeeze…
I’ve found an amusing way to absolutely annoy the heck out of Jason. Whenever the commercial for those Skippy Squeeze Stixs things comes on, I sing along. It’s this annoying kiddy-rap commercial that comes on way too often on Cartoon Network. “Squeeze the Skippy, it’s the Skippy you Squeeze!” The second [...]
Should I Listen?
I went to Best Buy earlier to pick up a new headset for my cell phone and a new copy of Age of Empires II for Jason (I lost his first copy. It has to be here somewhere, but I haven’t been able to find it for two weeks.) While I was there, [...]
Oops.
It seems that if I don’t post on my site often, my main column gets way too short, and the sidebar is too long. Quite amusing. I guess I need to do something about that…
LoTR Movie Marathon!
Jason wanted to watch The Lord of the Rings “The Two Towers” right away this weekend, but I had to watch “The Fellowship of the Ring” (Extended Edition) first. He didn’t want to watch it with me at first, but once he came out and started watching it, now he’s mesmerized. I love [...]
Sporks!
Mad props to Larry for letting me know that NPR’s All Things Considered had a commentary on the Spork on Friday. I just had to share! Thanks Larry for the tip!
Spork posse power!
Who Are Those Men?
In case you ever wondered, now you can find out MSN Entertainment – News – Who the ‘Queer Eye’ Guys were before they became the Fab 5. Turns out they haven’t been going on missions all their life like they do now!
So Many…
Did you know that Picture Yourself has over 1,227 photographs already? So, where is yours?
D is Back! D is Back!
I’m simply giddy with glee to see that D has returned to Acerbia! Man, I need to call Mike to let him know in case he doesn’t already. I wonder how long it will be before they are plotting about mechanical cyborg squirrels that spy on people and things like that…
Now, thanks to [...]
Silence…
All is well, but … I don’t know what is up. I’ve been boycotting the computer for days. This is very strange for me. Normally my only computer free times are due to vacations and a lack of web access. Not right now. Right now I’m busy at work, and [...]
What is It?
My Dad cracks me up. Tonight we were swapping jokes, and he told me he cut this out of the trivia section of the newspaper. Think long and hard about it before you answer in the comments…
What is the first thing you know?
Flex Points?
I just came across this article with tips on Diet at your Desk and it reminded me that I received an e-mail from Weight Watchers the other day announcing a new flex point system. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any information on the website to allow me to learn more about it. Anyone know? [...]
Psst… Over Here…
Yes, yes, I’m alive and well. Jish is in Houston visiting, and Mike & I had dinner with him Tuesday night after he arrived in Houston, and last night we had a great H-Town Blogs gathering with Jish as our “guest of honor”. Good times, good times. Too busy tonight working on [...]
Taking Up the Call…
There is a lovely little girl that is missing Clarence right now, and YOU may hold the link to help her out. Can you help find a new Clarence for her to love? Her old one was lost in a fire, and it is her favorite toy. And if you want one, [...]
Folding Time…
I feel the power. This morning, I had to go to the tire store so they could check and fix my tire. After that, I headed in to downtown.
10:09 – pass sign on I-45 that says the drive time to downtown is 32 minutes.
10:18 – pass another sign, drive time to downtown is [...]
Why? Why? Why?
Why do Mondays always come? Why do we have to go back to work? Why can’t grownups have summer vacations that last for months and not days? Why?
So, how do you feel about your Monday? Please share your thoughts … I know you want to! Come on, tell it like [...]
Manual for Becoming a Rock Groupie…
Step 1. Determine if The Complex Tour by The Blue Man Group is coming to your town.
Step 2. Buy tickets. NOW.
Step 3. Prepare to do “the basic head-bob,” “the one-armed fist pump,” and “the up and down jumping motion.” Often.
The Complex Tour is billed on their site as “a [...]
Blue Man!
It’s been a quiet weekend. I’ve needed some “down time” after the past several weeks of running around. Last night we had a BBQ at Jason’s school, and then ran some errands afterwards. Originally, I had an agenda full of housework for today. But Kathy just called, and her sister can’t [...]
Mmmm, Tasty!
Some days it is the simple things that amuse me to no end. Like the fact that Rocco’s was busted for Health Department Violations. I know, I shouldn’t laugh at poor Rocco’s pain. I mean, he has meatballs to roll, fires to put out, people to fire and make cry. I [...]

Hi! I'm Christine. I've been blogging here since 2000. I am married to Mike. I have a son, Jason. We have a cat, Mona. We live in Houston, Texas.
I love helping other photographers and other small business owners improve their businesses. Most of my posts here are related to that, although sometimes I write about personal things as well.
I am currently available for business & blogging consulting and assisting you with WordPress. Contact me for more details.
I am a wedding and boudoir photographer and I'm available both in Houston and for travel worldwide. I would love to be a part of your wedding!
You can buy prints of my photography.
In addition to photography and geek things, I sometimes knit. I even used to have a knitting podcast, PointySticks.
