3 for Thursday
1. There is no real blog post today because I pulled the Epstein Barr card last night. As in “can’t cook dinner. Epstein Barr.” So we went to Panera and then I went to bed by 8:45pm. For the night. Will try to have something good for you to look at tomorrow.
2. Jack has sorta try outs for the middle school Talent Show today for his band today after school. They are actually sounding like a band! (the picture is missing 1 member of the band and the keyboard player doesn’t have his keyboard). The actual talent show is in late May so they have plenty of time to practice. And I’ll have some time to take some additional pictures.
3. After almost killing Timmy last Friday (he had a terrible allergic reaction to the Ensure I gave him with red eyes, runny nose, vomiting, wheezing, and hives) he has an appointment with the allergist later today. I have NO idea what caused his terrible reaction and am hoping to find something out today.

beth & suzanne’s awesome 80’s party
…and to think it all started late (very late) one night on Facebook.
The party really was awesome and it was so great to see everyone who came! We had a lot of no-shows which was disappointing but we had a bunch of people who did travel far distances just to make it. So to everyone who did come out and got their 80’s on, thank you! And we hope you had as good a time as we did!
So here are the pictures you have been waiting for:
Me in all my 80’s glory. Can’t wait to wear the sneakers again!
And there are just no words for John’s outfit. I had a lot of fun shopping for this!
Love the rings and shoes? Fresh. 
My fantastic co-host Suzanne and her husband Rob. 
80’s yearbooks, aquanet, rubber bracelets & a gear bag. 
Class of ’87. Christine, me, Sue, Cheryl, Suzanne & Jenn.
And #44 frosted pink lipstick in full force. I think I’m going to start wearing it all the time. The funniest thing is that since they really don’t sell #44 at Harmon Drug anymore, both Suzanne and I went to Harmon and picked the exact same lipstick out of the zillion there. Who’s with me on bringing back the frosted pink lipstick trend?
It seems that Rob is always surrounded by a harem of women. 
Best hair of the night. 
Best 80’s outfits of the night. 
My amazing friend Sue who came all the way from Boston just for the party. Love, love love her!!!
Thanks to my brother in law Joe for working the door for us, and to Tommy, Anthony & Danny at Kasey’s for a great night at their restaurant. 
Unfortunately due to the lack of attendance we didn’t collect enough to put together any boxes to send to the troops (we actually didn’t have enough to cover the costs of the party) but I’ll put some more together to send anyway. Thanks everyone, for a great night!! It was totally tubular! -
the last of Disney 2011
Timmy’s home sick today (actually he came home sick yesterday after puking on the playground at recess) I haven’t had time to edit more client shoots. I was too busy cleaning up vomit. So on that lovely note, I’m just posting the last of the Disney photos. Hopefully today will be puke free and I’ll edit while Timmy eats saltines and watches movies.
The view from high above on Dumbo.
And a little sneak peek of the construction happening on the Fantasyland expansion. Can’t wait to see what it’s going to look like!!
Splash Mountain before. Which we were all so happy to ride because it’s always closed for refurbishment when we are down there in February. 
Uh huh. 
And after. 
John actually rode! This is is favorite ride and with his back he probably really shouldn’t ride it, but after being layed up for the whole Disney trip in the hotel room with strep, he decided he was riding anyway. And it’s not jarring so it worked out okay. 
The 7 dopes. 
And on that note, I’m going to edit. -
tim&tom (and the supermoon)
Our cousins (and the most recent bride and groom appearing on the blog) came by 2 weekends ago for a dinner/playdate evening and we had a great time as always. The little guys (who are almost the same kid- they are SO alike!) were busy playing StarWars in the backyard for a long time.
And there was also the supermoon that night. No tripod, so I winged it as best I could.
Working on lots of sessions, so the blog will be busy again this week and next.

3 for Thursday
So, I’m feeling a little lazy today and can’t muster up the 13 for Thursday. 3 is the only other thing that sounds good with Thursday, so 3 it is.
1. This is wrong on so many levels, I don’t even know where to begin. That, and the fact that Timmy was singing Jingle Bells on the way to school yesterday just about sums it up. There is a chance that John won’t be able to make it on our trip to Florida next month due to a trial and I was thinking we would just cancel it. After the weather the last two days, there will be NO canceling. I must get out of here!!!!
2. You might recognize this cutie from previous blog posts. He and his mom came over for lunch last week and I just took a few quick snaps. I’m sure Mar is going to hate them because of his tongue hanging out in every picture (apparently he starting doing that on the day that he came over and hasn’t done it since!). Whatever, I think it’s so cute and I’m posting them anyway!
3. I find out my blood test results tomorrow for the ginormously swollen lymphnode on the side of my neck. I think it might be shrinking slightly. Or maybe it’s just wishful thinking. I dunno, but I’m still convinced I’m dying. Any good thoughts you want to send are very much appreciated!! ***edited to add: Epstein Barr reactivation. So that means it took 23 years to reactivate it since I had it when I was 18- it’s one of those things that stays inactive (or sometimes active) in your system forever once you have it. I feel totally fine- no more tired than normal and maybe even less so since I’ve been trying to go to bed by 12. No other symptoms except for the lymphnode. At all. No medicines or anything- it’s a virus so it just has to run it’s course. Personally, I think it was reactivated by the month long sickness of Jan-Feb. Whatever. At least it’s not lymphoma!****
Have a good Thursday, everyone!
