Say cheese! I mean, acorn!

Awwww, just wook at this weally cute wittle girl. Took a 12x zoom snap of her crawling just twelve feet outside the kitchen window with a new camera we rec'd from my sister-in-law. An advance xmas present and an extremely generous one at that. A super rrrrreally big thanks, sis.

Our previous digital camera was a Canon G1 (a gift as well; thanks, Dad) and although now dated (they're currently up to G7), I had yet to tap its amazing potential as another user had done.

I love photography, so I certainly don't take these latest gadget gifts for granted.

Stay tuned for some future visual awesomeness. Maybe porn, perhaps :-). Oooh, la la!

A foot problem

Plantar fasciitis sucks.

I've had it since June and I've failed to pay it some serious attention to successfully treat it. Just thought it would go away after a few calf stretches, I guess. Well, four months later with some inconsistent stretching, an occasional night splint and no curbing of any foot loading activities like walking or standing, the pain is still there. Go figure.

I haven't seen an orthopedist yet but will likely schedule an appointment in the next few days. Time to get my act together, discipline my treatment and finally nip this thing in the bud.

The Devil Wears Prada

Last night I finished reading The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger. I began it in mid-July through page 327 and let three months pass before resuming the last 105 pages. A typical me as I figured. (Don't even ask about my still hiatus from Stephen King's Bag of Bones.) And then I read about this guy's pace of a book a week! My hat's off to him.

Anyway, The Devil read exactly like a movie to me, although I haven't yet seen the film version. I even auto-filled the last page with my own ending soundtrack--John Mayer's Bigger Than My Body:

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body
I'm bigger than my body
I'm bigger than my body now.
