well, there goes the whole Jo-Pro-Po-yo-you deal...too bad for you..it was such a great idea.

Actually, those are WONDERFUL pics of two really cute kids. Nicely done...
Lisa said…
Those are GREAT pictures! Love it! I've gotta do the black & white thing more often. Got any other tips? :)
Did you take these? They're great plus the kids are adorable, too.

We needed help with our Christmas pictures. With five kids (three teens and one more will turn 13 in next month) we looked more like an angry mob than a happy family (Try getting five kids to smile at the same time :).

Good job!

If you haven't already acquired my birthday present, ;) , I'd like to be able to frame the 8x10 prints of these that you gave us for Christmas. Ya know, just saying and all.

John H said…
ummmm..am i going to have to TAG you or something for something or other?

how about...the top 10 reasons not to update my blog..
Emily Gray said…
john, the silence you hear is me not posting. I think that alone encompasses reasons #1-10.
if you'd like to tag me with a more reasonable meme (yes, that is a trick request), I would be happy to oblige. However, I consider memes as an inferior form of blogorrhea. They're more like blog-aches. I think you know what I mean.
John H said…
It felt just like an earth-quake,
the day you went away..
I'm hoping for my mirth's sake,
you'll come back again..

oh baby, it's a blog-ache,
too too much for this dog to take,
the tears are soggin' up my corn-flakes..
that's what I get...
for reading you....

no pressure over capuccino

This morning, my iPod played this song for me. My iPod has been playing this for me quite frequently. Weird considering it's on 'shuffle'. For some reason, my iPod likes this song. For some reason, I like this song. I have a special affinity for songs that reference Jesus and the Bible written by people who don't profess to be Christians (another great one is Dave Matthews' "A Christmas Song"). It's always interesting to see these figures from a secular point of view. I googled the lyrics this morning, because Alanis is Canadian :-p Some of the most important words were not what I previously thought they were. And now I like it even more. Disclaimer: I don't pretend to understand this song completely (especially the origin of the title), but I really like that it makes me think. Any intuitive comments about the meaning of this song will be rewarded with great awe. Side note: all the "90's" references, I think, are meant to convey ...

local Nashville girl turns 30...

...and the intersection of Murfreesboro Rd. and Thompson Ln. wins "No. 1 site for car accidents in Metro Nashville." Coincidence?? I think not. When something this great happens, everyone wants a piece of the action. Finally, the happiest day of the year has come. After a whole weekend of pre-party celebrating, my big day is here, and bigger than ever. I am thirty today. It's been a long road. I thirty year road. I worked hard to get here. Survived countless potential car accidents, dodged all possible life-threatening illnesses, and legions of unknown potential mortal hazards just to be here today. Not everyone can say that. I'm not even kidding actually. I feel really blessed to have made it this far; witnessing tragedy around me, but never really coming face to face with it. I'm not really sure why I get to lead such a charmed life while the world around seems to be crumbling. All I know is I'm thankful. Details to come on why this is the B-E-S-T birthday ...

you are what you see

If you visit here regularly, you may (or may not) have noticed something. I don't blog about t.v. shows. This is because I don't really watch t.v. that much. Yes, I have one, and yes, I have cable. And yes, I do, on occasion, decide to sit down and relax by voluntarily turning off my brain and turning on that blackhole box. But I don't have a show . I don't want a show. I want to explain why. This post is dedicated to those of you out there who have a show, have too many shows, or think you need a show. And you all know I know you know who you all are... Top Ten reasons why you do not need a show: 10. You are what you see. This could be bad if you are watching - well anything. Unless you are watching your own reality t.v. show, and then that would be, just, meta - and therefore redundant, and also a little bit egomaniacal . But I digress. 9. Studies show watching teevee produces less brain activity than sleeping. It also has an adverse affect on your ability to discern...
