Be Green! Recycle Your Batteries!
Did you get a bunch of things that use batteries for Christmas this year? Use ones that you can recharge! And if you must use regular ones (or when you have to replace the rechargeables), be sure to recycle your batteries. I had to go online to figure out where to take [...]
A Study In Computer Users…
Now that Mike & I both have new computers, it is interesting to see how we use them from the ground up. The night we opened them, we spent the same amount of time on them – doing very different things. He went right into downloading things, getting it all set up just [...]
Bitter, Snarky Happy Mac Users…
For YEARS people have said to me, “So, you’re a photographer – so you use a Mac, right?”
Uhm, no? They make all the same software for a PC, and I that is what I’ve always used. I married a PC geek. We have lots of Windows machines in our house. More [...]
It Is Sad, Really…
But Mike & I both laugh like crazy EVERY time we watch this video. We had been watching YouTube for it to show up, so it was a special treat to watch it tonight for the first time on our NEW Macs! (Uhm, yeah, more on that later! First post from the MacBookPro!)
Second Update Post…
Dr. Has a Clue also gave me the green light to live a normal life again. She then sent me over for a CBC, Iron, Ferritin and something else blood test to see how my iron is currently and if I have any iron reserves yet. Because a month ago, my ferritin levels [...]
The Health Update!
I went in for my four week post-op appointment yesterday, and got the “all clear” from my doctor. Yeah! My incision is healing well, and I am cleared to do almost everything now with the exception of a few six week items like heavy lifting. I even got to drive this past [...]
With Gems Like This…
Is it a wonder that people think that Americans are idiots? Goodness, what ARE they teaching in schools now? Or at least at Kellie Pickler’s school — someone needs to go find her former teachers and give them a headsmack too. Good God.
By the way – who the heck is she? [...]
I’m Sending the Squirrel After You, Whoever You Are…
Hermann Park squirrel; shot taken during an engagement session on Nov. 11, 2007.
At 2:45am, the home phone rang. Immediately giving me a heart attack, because it could have only meant something bad had happened to someone. Mike answered; no one there.
Then my cell phone started to ring. I didn’t get it answered in time.
Then the [...]
Stats, Stats, Baby!
From the Flickr Blog:
“Stats, stats, baby!
We’ve introduced a new feature for our pro members: stats!
No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you — we’ve launched another of our most often requested features. Yay!
We’ve designed stats on Flickr to give you all sorts of insight into how people arrive at your photos. If you’re a pro member you [...]
Market Research, Round II…
I truly, truly, value your feedback. Right now, I have my portfolio site set up using the a template that I really like. However, it is limited on the number of galleries I can have, and it doesn’t have a calendar on it. I really want unlimited galleries and a calendar. [...]
Ah, Google…
So Google is at it again. A few weeks ago, I noticed a sudden drop in my Google pagerank on this site. Seems Google didn’t like that I had text link ads on my sidebar. Now? If you do a search for something that should bring up ScriptyGoddess as a result, [...]
But He Wrote Them!
Looking through Amazon tonight for something – I don’t even remember what lead me there – and I just froze when I saw it.
Barry Manilow has released a CD with the Greatest Songs of the Fifties, and followed it up by the Greatest Songs of the Sixties. Now he has released the Greatest Songs [...]
More Photos!
It is a few days later than I had originally planned, but more photos are posted now over on the post with Mercedes & Tim’s slideshow. They are just such a beautiful couple, I had to share more of them!
Do You Believe in Miracles?
Jenn sent me a link the other day that I finally got to read today about Kyle David Miller, a 3 year old who was riding in a booster seat in a car and the seatbelt failed during a major crash. He was thrown from the car and died due to the crash. [...]
Mercedes & Tim!
I’ve posted a full post & write-up on Mercedes & Tim’s November 10th wedding (also known as “Wedding #1″ from that day) over on the wedding photography blog, but I wanted to post a copy of the slideshow over here too. She was the most beautiful and calm bride, and he was one of [...]

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.
