You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.

... for the game at hand

New rule: If I have nothing to Post, I will post a previously un-blogged picture and my likes and dislikes for today. Because there is one thing I learned from Lowe's... For every problem, offer a solution. Basically work in harmony, for every negative give at least one positive. So... here goes:
This picture was shot on September 5th. We were in Clinton working on Mom and Dad's house, deciding what of our childhood we wanted to donate or keep. (Kept surprisingly little.)
It took tons of pictures before we figured out how to shoot Paisley so that her big, beautiful blue eyes were open. But it was so worth it. So... this is our niece and Weston's cousin, Paisley AnneMarie Damon, age 17 months.

Likes:
1. Mom is doing so well that she and Aunt Linda spent yesterday shopping (!!!!) at the outlet mall in Williamsburg, and then they went to the Riverside Casino. They were gone almost all day! Just like "old times." (tear. happy tear.)
2. Chai Tea Frappucino with a shot of Sugar Free Vanilla from Starbucks. It makes me amazingly happy. And it tastes like frozen Thanksgiving.
3. Also, I like that it's Thursday and that means a night with Shannon!
Dislikes:
1. How no one really knows that October is Domestic Violence Prevention Month, but everyone focuses on Breast Cancer Awareness. Why can't we focus on both?
2. And Lab Vampires, aka Phlebotomists. Today, a Vampire drew 2 1/2 large tubes of blood from the little vein she found in my hand. It hurt then (she had to keep pushing it in further to keep the flow) and it still hurts like a b#?%"*h now.
