Favorite Photos of the Year

Books read in 2009

Some books I can read in a day or two. The last couple that I picked up at the library have been like that. The book I'm currently reading is another fast read, Assassination: Robert F. Kennedy 1925-1968 by the editors of United Press International and Cowles. This book puts together photographs and articles by UPI reporters/photographers the day Kennedy was shot and the five days after. I am finding the book very interesting and it is a page turner. The book includes Ted Kennedy's eulogy for his brother. My favorite excerpt is below.


"My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life; to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it.

Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today, pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will some day come to pass for all the world.

As he said many times, in many parts of this nation, to those he touched and who sought to touch him:

"Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not." "

Hear Ted say it.

Sound of Music

My favorite musical was on TV over the weekend, The Sound of Music. I watched it a lot growing up. It was one of my sisters favorite movie. Since I watched it along with her, I can sing every song and can recite dialog. One of my favorite scenes in the movie is when Maria (Julie Andrews) and Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer) do the folk dance at the party to announce his engagement to the Baroness. I tried to find that clip on YouTube. I ended up finding something better.

"The Hospital" - Trailers From Hell

Books read in 2009

Last Monday, I picked up several books at the library. One of the books was Fletch Forever by Gregory McDonald. Inside this 600 page book was the first three of his Fletch novels; Fletch, Confess, Fletch and Fletch's Fortune. I finished reading the entire book last night. They were a fun read. And yes, all fiction. As you may know, I rarely read fiction. When I picked up the books last week, I was unsure if I was going to receive any books for Christmas. On my gift list for my husband, I had many non-fiction books listed. If I was going to receive a bunch of non-fiction books, I wanted a couple of fast reading fiction books to break up all of the facts.

For Christmas, I did receive one book from my list: Marilyn Monroe: The Complete Last Sitting by Bert Stern. This book is not a sit down and read book. It is a awesome photo book and has over 2500 photos of Marilyn taken by photographer Bert Stern in their three-day session. The photos of Marilyn are lovely and I'm glad that I finally own this book. If you are a Marilyn Monroe fan, I recommend this book.

Community

One of my new favorite fall shows is Community on NBC. I love everything about this show. I usually try to watch the episodes twice to catch all of the great lines. Besides Family Guy and Modern Family, Community is a show that I actually laugh all the way through.

Random things

On my first of five days off, I slept in until 6:30 a.m. On any normal day, I would have been up at 4 a.m. and at work at 4:30 a.m. But I don't have to think about that until next Tuesday and that feels great!

I have already been on the treadmill today. I started at 7 a.m. and watched Saved By The Bell The episodes that were shown were of the whole gang working at The Malibu Sands. When I was younger I really wanted to work at a beach club because of them. It looked fun. They hardly ever worked. But where I live, we don't have anything cool like that. No beaches, no oceans. And no Zack Morris. Boo.

I have a very busy Christmas Eve. At 10 a.m., I have a rehearsal at church for tonight's Christmas mass. I will be one of three altar servers for mass tonight. My role as altar server last year was to carry the incense. I hope to pass that on to someone else this year. The incense is so strong when it is lit. It instantly gave me a headache.

When rehearsal is finished, I will be making lunch. Then its on to cleaning the house. After mass, my family will be arriving at my house for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner. Back before I was married, the traditional Christmas Eve dinner was Subway. We would stop and get subs right before it closed for the night. The Subway tradition still continued for a couple of years after I was married. One year it changed. My husband and I had a nice meal planned for us, but somehow my entire family got invited over to our house and the tradition started. I think it is the one tradition I look forward to the most each year.

Miles run in 2009

I can't believe I have run 1200 miles this year! In my all of my years running regularly, I never thought I would even come close to 1000 miles. But now I have done it. I want to keep up my mileage in the new year. I plan to continue running over 30 miles a week. Maybe on a week that I'm not that busy try to run a 40 mile week.

I pray that I can keep injury free in the new year. I don't need a repeat of this year. To prevent that awful injury from coming back, I plan on buying new running shoes within the next week or two. I know I am overdue in that department.

Christmas items

I started Christmas shopping weeks ago. And I'm still not done. I really tried to finish it up last night. I was uncertain on what to get my niece and nephews. I decided to wait until my husband is with me.

Besides the young ones, my brothers and sisters are pooling together money to buy my Mom a gift. We have yet to pool our money together. I hope I can exchange cash later this afternoon with my sister who came up with the idea. Once that's done, I have to pick up a small gift for one of my brothers. Slowly, but surely it is coming along.

On another note Christmas related note, last year my husband and I received probably close to 20 Christmas cards. This year our total is seven. Seven? Our people just not sending out cards this year? I can understand if people don't want to spend the money on stamps. They are getting pricey.

Christmas is less then a week away. I hope everyone's holiday is merry.

Family Guy

In the latest episode of Family Guy, Peter takes Carter Pewterschmidt to a strip club for the bachelor party he never had. The dialog at the end of this clip had my husband and I laughing so much. We both got the Billy Joel reference.

Weekend update

My husband and I went to Toledo, Ohio on Saturday night. It was a warm evening, in the 30s, so we decided to go see the Lights Before Christmas at the zoo. The line of cars to get into the zoo was really long. It probably was a mile or longer. My husband got out of line. He was going to go past the zoo and do a U-turn to come in from the other way. That line was very long also. Before going past the zoo, he found a gap behind a vehicle near the entrance. There was enough of a gap to let our truck in and the people behind us in a SUV.

Once we finally paid for parking, the parking lot was jammed with cars. We have been going to see the Lights Before Christmas since 1997 and this was the busiest I have ever seen it. We parked in a lot that wasn't really a lot. It was an open field area that had maintenance buildings on it. We were beyond the parking lot. It was a bit of a walk to get to the entrance, but I didn't mind the walk. The thing that bothered me walking was the guy in front of us smoking. His smoke was blowing back in our faces. My husband took my hand and we got off the sidewalk into the grass and passed him. We found a gap and got behind some people. This group was walking slow because a bunch of kids were leading them. This made us get off the sidewalk again and pass them.

When we got into the zoo, it was wall to wall people. Everywhere you looked and stepped, someone was right there. The lights were pretty as usual and I enjoyed looking at them. The thing I didn't enjoy was when the person or group in front of us would just stop. Instead of being considerate and move off to the side, they would stop in the middle of everything. This happened many times while we were walking around. Also there were so many children in wagons and strollers. Some of the paths are not big enough to pass by without being forced off into the grass. There were a few times were I had to leave the sidewalk because these parents hogging the way. GRRRR!

As we were leaving I said to my husband that next year we should come on a day that is colder. Maybe there wouldn't be so many people. Because who really wants to walk around when it is freezing cold?

Winter has officially arrived

Trying to get into my car this morning was difficult. Less then an inch of snow fell overnight. During the early morning hours, the snow turned to rain. The rain was melting the snow. It seemed everywhere I stepped, the snow turned into a big water puddle. I was trying to walk carefully so I wouldn't get water on my shoes. It didn't work. My shoes got wet. The good thing is they didn't get wet enough to get to my socks.

The drive to work was fine. The roads were wet and somewhat slushy. When I got to the office, I saw the parking lots have already been plowed. I parked next to another car in the lot. That car was already in the lot when it was plowed. So the plow went around it. Leaving piles of snow on the passenger side of the parked car. I opened my door and looked down. I could tell there was a puddle of snow and water waiting for me. I tried my best to get out slowly so I wouldn't splash. It didn't matter. My shoes, socks and pant legs got all wet. Just trying to make it to the building was hard. Everywhere I stepped was puddles of water and slushy snow. I really enjoyed working with wet shoes, socks and pants.

During the morning hours, the wind picked up. We had 25 mph winds with gusts up to 60 mph. Later in the afternoon, the wind was shaking my house. I went outside on the porch to see if the Christmas decorations were still standing. Two snowman were knocked over. I picked up the larger snowman and set it back on the table it was standing on. The small snowman was laying on one of the front steps of the porch. I picked it up and tucked it against the side of the house and mailbox. That's not getting blown away tonight.

The glorious wind will continue into Thursday and finally diminish Thursday night. With the wind comes the wind chills. With the wind chills Thursday, the temperature will be right around zero. Yuck. All I can ask is: Is it spring yet?

84 Charing Cross Road

I recorded a movie off of Turner Movie Classic over the weekend called 84 Charing Cross Road. The movie stars Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins.

The movie is about a script-reader in New York who is searching for British literature and obscure classics. She sees an ad in a literature magazine for a bookstore in London that does mail orders. She begins a twenty year correspondence with the chief buyer of the bookseller and other employees.

It was only after watching the movie that I found out this was a true story. The title of the movie, 84 Charing Cross Road was the address of the bookseller in London. The character that Anne Bancroft played is Helene Hanff. In 1970, Hanff wrote a book called 84 Charing Cross Road. The book contains the letters that Hanff wrote to the chief buyer, Frank Doel, played by Anthony Hopkins. I was hoping that in the movie Bancroft and Hopkins would meet. But it wasn't might too be.

It was a great story and Bancroft and Hopkins acted wonderfully. I'm hoping that the library will have a copy of this book. If not, I can always buy one from Amazon.com.

Random things

I've been away from my blog for a couple of days. This is what I've been doing.

I photographed four different school's winter sports teams this week. This is something that nobody likes to do, but it must be done. Myself and other photographers gather the varsity players and have them write their names on a piece of paper. After they write their name, they hold the paper at their chest level while we take a photo of them. When I'm around the athletes, I try to say head shot. At work, we call them mug shots. Some of the kids will say that this feels like a jail mug shot. I smile at them even though I heard it thousands of times. In the past, we have used a couple of the athlete's head shots as a mug shot for a crime they committed.

The shortest session I had at a school was 40 minutes. The longest session at a school was 3 hours. If you count the drive time it was 4 hours. That didn't make me very happy. At the beginning of the session was varsity boys basketball. Following them was the wrestling team. I finished with them around 3:30/3:40 p.m. Next was the JV girls/boys and freshmen basketball teams. And I didn't need photos of any of them. The bowling was supposed to come next. They didn't. The team didn't show up. I never heard the reason for their absence. That left a huge gap in things. I didn't photograph the varsity girls basketball team until 5:45 p.m. I walked out of the school right after 6 p.m.

With the four photo shoots this week, I have managed to keep up with my running schedule. So far this week I have ran 27 miles. I ran the longest for the week on Wednesday, 12 miles. After that run I was very tired. On Thursday, I had another afternoon shoot. I was thinking about skipping my run. While I was in the gym waiting for athletes, I saw girls running on the indoor track. Just watching them run, inspired me to run when I got home. I ran 4 miles, but my legs were not feeling too great.

Starting my Christmas shopping for my husband tonight. After him, I still need to get something for my mom, my in-laws, a gift for brothers/sisters, my nephews and my niece. Too many people. I hope to be done with everything next week. Hopefully.

It is December and I haven't done anything with my Christmas cards. Since 2001, I have made my own Christmas cards. I haven't had the desire to even get out any of my inks or card stock. I haven't been in the Christmas card making mood. I don't think I will even get there this year. I made plenty of cards last year and have extras. I think I will be sending those out. Or I could just buy some at the store. Would people be disappointed if they didn't get a handmade card from me?
