In Her Own Words…
I Know You Wished You Knew…
I wanted to write a post, but thanks to an icky earache, I’m not up to being creative. Perfect excuse to borrow a meme from Julia if you ask me!
1. Do you like blue cheese?
Ew, ew, ew … NO.
2. Have you ever smoked cigarettes?
Socially in the 90s when I would go out with friends – [...]
I Always Knew…
I don’t talk about knitting often enough over here. I also don’t knit often enough. I’m working on that. It is one of my time-management goals right now. Put down the laptop and KNIT SOMETHING. Like the sleeves on my February Lady Sweater.
While reading knitting blogs last week, I discovered that Kay & Ann [...]
They Got a Brand New Dance…

Silly? Yes. But I suspect I’ll feel that way for awhile.
Cleaning the Blog House…

Neatly grouped into people I’ve met (Tasty Cookies), people I want to meet someday (Chewy Cookies), and knitters – because knitters are fabulous and deserve a category all their own? Well, I’m really weird about deleting links. Some of those sites I’ve had links going [...]
Thanks, Ike for the Surreal Reality…
I’ve been staying mainly in my own neighborhood post-Ike, just working away on different projects I’m in the middle of. On Saturday, I went to Discovery Green for a bridal portrait session. Driving towards downtown Houston, I passed the McDonald’s at I-45 and N. Main with the ratty, wind-ravaged sign. Seeing the [...]
I’m Back! I’m Back!
We got our power back last Friday after 14 days of it being off post-Ike. Fourteen freakin’ days! Thank goodness my parents had power (and internet! Bonus!) and were wonderful and let us come and stay there. We had plans for Friday night for my birthday, which was on Saturday. I had a wedding [...]

Cookies on the Side
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.
