Wedding Photos!
I don't have very many, and most are from later in the evening, but it was a beautiful wedding. :)

Quick Update
Yikes! I've been out of the loop. I need to write up last weekend, the weekend before and I TOTALLY missed the 12 of 12 for September. The first time since I started. Bummer. I'll be writing those up this week. :)
In other news, Schmap loves me again! This time from Barcelona (see picture at the right)
Updates soon. Pinky swear!

Photos from Around the Web
So, the Schmap people have "shortlisted" another one of my photos! This one's for Chicago, which is pretty cool.
But the photo they picked? Is kind of weird. And not indicative of Chicago (at least in my mind).
Yep. They picked a car from the Auto Show. Now, I'm not sure where they'll actually use it (probably McCormick Place?) but I have a TON of other Chicago pictures that I think are better. It's kind of like the one they picked for Munich. Not my favorite picture, but if you want to use it (and credit me) I'm fine with it!
In other "photos around the web" news, I had some other pics picked for a Chicago bar website. They asked for pictures of Lemmings and when I agreed, posted them (with credit). Pretty neat!
And all because of Flickr. I love Flickr. It's become kind of an obsession (sorry Facebook. You just can't compete!)

So This is Cool
Schmap contacted me a few weeks ago asking if they could use one of my Germany pictures on their site. I said sure and they picked it! It's not my favorite photo from that trip, but it's pretty cool that they're willing to put it on their site. :) It's a photo of Old City Hall.
I've put a link on the side-bar if you want to check it out!

Moving is Fun
Ah moving. What a FUN process, huh?
It actually went really well. The movers showed up around 8:30 (30-minutes late) and proceeded to pack up all of my stuff in under an hour. And I have a LOT of stuff. We then went to Bob's place, loaded up his stuff (minus the cats) and then headed to the new place. After figuring out how to open the (already unlocked) garage door, they uploaded all of our stuff and were on there way.
Total time: about 3 hours. Incredible. My movers are the BEST.
Bob and I made a couple more trips to his place to clean up a bit and pick up the cats and some odds and ends. The cats were NOT PLEASED with the move. Marbles glared at us from the bathroom sink.
While Jinx scared the bejeezes out of us by opening up a cabinet (talented!) and hiding under the sink. Who knew cats could open doors?
We've now been in the new place for a few days and are mostly unpacked. The pictures are from Saturday morning so I'll have to take some newer ones soon. Since these pictures were taken we've been to IKEA and gotten rid of more stuff.
Side note: it's amazing to me how much stuff I can get rid of AFTER I move. Wouldn't it be easier to not move the stuff in the first place???
So, here's the kitchen. Notice the pot rack! Wee! I love the pot-rack. I'm fairly certain there's a cat on the counter as well. The cats and the dog are learning to like each other, but for now they hide on window sills, under chairs, and on the kitchen counter.
Here's a pic from the doorway of the kitchen looking back into the front room(s).
This mess is the main bedroom, pre-dresser. There's a huge closet, which is nice. Especially now that I have to share!
Here's the front room. Yes I own pink fuzzy slippers and a stuffed dog. Both of which are hiding in the back of the closet by now.
And here's the second bedroom, otherwise known as Sadie's room. Until the animals all get along, Sadie spends a good amount of time here. Hopefully they'll all be able to be out at night together soon since she has to be caged during the day as well. That's a lot of time to be trapped up into one place.
And there's the mini-tour! We're getting close to putting it all away and have been exhausted for the last few days, but it's totally worth it. The new place is FAB. :)
New pictures soon!

12 of 12 December 2007
12 of 12 for December is here! I forgot until I was checking Bloglines, so I missed part of my morning. Good thing Chad gives us reminders! Go here to get details.
8:58am: My desk. Checking out bloglines and getting the reminder that today was the 12th (it's the day after my company holiday party so you have to forgive my forgetfulness. It was a...slow morning).
9:06am: It's icy and snowy outside these days so I wore my snow boots to work today.
9:20am: Did some more tagging on Flickr to my photos from my recent trip to Munich.
10:26am: A new book that I worked on it out! Hurrah! After 16 months of work it's always good to see the final product.
2:32pm: At my desk. Going through my mail and remembering I have to send out my holiday cards--I'm running out of time!
5:43pm: I had to run some errands in the loop tonight and passed by the Christkindlmarkt at Daley Plaza. The tree this year is HUGE.
6:36pm: I'm setting up my tree tonight. I had put the branches in a few days ago but didn't have the energy to deal with the lights so I'm tackling the rest of it this evening.
6:38pm: I found Sadie's Christmas scarf in the box of holiday goodies and made her try it on.
7:23pm: All done!
7:24pm: My newest ornament. My mom got him for me in Germany (that's a HB beer in his hand!)
8:20pm: I watched the finale of America's Next Top Model. Eh. Kind of boring and predictable.
8:33pm: Sadie chilled out beside me for a while watching TV and enjoying the Christmas tree.
Go here to check out other 12 of 12ers in December!

Pictures
So I added a bunch of photos to my flickr site today (totally procrastinating at work, obviously).
I have to advise not looking at photos of friends while listening to sappy music because it's getting me all verklempt.
Or it could be that I'm 1) wearing BROWN and 2) wearing my glasses. It's totally throwing me for a loop.

12 of 12 August 2007
It's 12 of 12 for August (thanks Chad!) and while I've only done this once before, it seems that the 12th of the month is the time for drama at 3am. No pictures this time as it concerned my roommate and his friends and they probably wouldn't have taken kindly to me taking pictures of them! (Don't worry--everything's fine.)
7:45am: woke up to see that no one slept on the pull out last night and put everything away
8:15am: Went to CVS to pick up a diet coke and a plunger (3am roommate drama. Sigh) It's pretty quiet at CVS early on a Sunday morning.
8:45am: Used plunger
11:45am: Finished cooking for a birthday brunch at 12. Brownies and Tortilla de Patatas
12:30am: Was greeted at the door with a shot of sambuka. I then added my contributions to the bar
1:40pm: Terri's contribution to the brunch: french bread, cheese, bacon, tomato, poached egg, & arugula. Yum.
3:15pm: We eventually went outside to enjoy the day and continue celebrating Liz's birthday
3:40pm: Pat the cat joined us
6:40pm: I decided I needed a nap. I set my alarm for9pm so I wouldn't sleep the whole evening away.
10:34pm: Woke up at 10:30. Oops.
10:45pm: Took Sadie for her evening walk. She was tired as well and layed down about 2 blocks from home.
11:00pm: Late-night snack of corn chex and water and ready a book, A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore, until about 12, then back to sleep.
