This is the view through a Fisher Price Movie Viewer. I had one of these when I was 4 or 5 and hadn't seen one since. Clicking thru frame by frame was a revelation. That's when I began to draw. A lot. This is the same movie I had, Lonesome Ghosts. Happy Halloween.

Our new office got a Kuereg coffee maker. I don't drink coffee and I don't know why we have Sleepytime Tea, but it's nice on these cool mornings. Yes, I turn to chocolate to counteract the affects of the tea.

This guy/girl and one that looks just like him/her lives in my neighborhood. They rarely stand still when they see anything that moves. I had to stop and wait for a long while before I took this. The other kept running back and forth. See he's still watching me.

Spent most of the day on the couch. I took a nap and woke up in time for the Cowboy game. Zeke decided it was his turn for a nap up on the couch. He was not impressed with Romo's touchdown run. Nor was he surprised when they lost the game.

I spent most of the day at a friends house relaxing by a firepit. Good food, drinks, and great company. I saw this guy in my tree on my way out the door.

On the weeks I have Riley this is the direction I go to pick her up after work. And this is the traffic I have to deal with. See all the red lights?

I heard this guy outside our windows at work. I watched him for a while peeling his acorns and then burrying them. He did this over and over preparing for winter I guess. This image is so unclear, one because this guy barely stood still, and two the windows are kinda dirty.

Went out to my parents' rent house to help them and a bunch of my family clean it up and do some repairs to get it ready for the next tenants. These small flowers were growing all along the driveway.

Today a friend and I pulled off a surprise b-day party for a mutual friend. I had a Jack and Coke to celebrate the successful completion of the deception. She was so surprised. The look on her face all night made it worth all the effort.

Have not been sleeping well this week, so by Friday I just wanted to lay on my couch and watch a movie before bed. Vegas joined me for a little while.

Kinda bored at work. I had work to do, but made a face with angry eyes with my pills. Maybe I'm just grumpy cuz I'm not at the Fair.
October 17, 2012 - Wednesday
Took a half day at work and went to get Riley out of school. Our own little State Fair of Texas Day. We don't go every year, but when we do it's always fun. Lots of food, a couple of rides, lots of people watching and a few laughs. Way better than a day in the office.

On the weeks I don't have Riley I keep this guy in the front seat so I have someone to talk to. And I can get in the HOV lanes. Hahaha Not really. He's been riding with me for a couple of days waiting to meet this cute little girl who's going to give him a new home.

I went to run some errands at lunch. I was behind this truck at the light near the office on my way back. I liked the bright colors against the muted sky and bridges.
October 14, 2012 - Sunday
I walked over to the store behind my house and they have this for sale. The guy that works there came over and pushed the button that makes him play and dance and then he danced along too. Only $599.00. Message me if you're interested. I tell you exactly where it is.

I went back to the Eastside of Ft. Worth early this morning. It's been a really long time since I've driven around my old neighborhood. Lots of great friends and memories. The Kolache Shoppe is still open and it still smells as good as ever inside.

If you like football even a little this is a really great show. This particular episode is an example of why football is the greatest of all team sports. Merlin Olsen, Deacon Jones, Rosey Grier and Lamar Lundy's story is great and Deacon Jones is so quotable.

Did you see the photo from Monday? I had my first beer at work today. I was definitely missing the lime. Stay thirsty my friends. Wait that's the wrong brand. Nevermind.

Riley and I started watching Heroes again from the beginning. I took this picture because the other day a friend of mine was pointing out how flat her own face was in profile. She's pretty cute so I was like "whatever." This woman has a flat face too and she's pretty cute as well.

Driving home today I saw another example of complete overkill. (Sept 27, 2010) Here we have a flatbed tow truck with a little bitty scooter. Can you imagine the look on the drivers face when he showed up to pick this up? Hahahaha

We finally got our fridge delivered at our new office. You will have to admit it's pretty well stocked. We have two Corona shelves, a shelf each for Dos XX and Guinness. Oh and a big space for Miller Lite. I'm sure we'll keep some food in there at some point.
October 7, 2012 - Sunday
I went to spend the day with some friends. Two of them have four legs. For some reason they seem to love me more than their owner. It may be that I am a little more fluffy and comfortable to lay on. Of course that's just a guess.
October 6, 2012 - Saturday
Spent the day with a friend and her family celebrating her daughter's b-day. On the way back from her b-day dinner we decided to finaly drive over the "new" bridge in Dallas. Kinda anticlimactic. It's pretty short and doesn't really take you to anywhere special.
October 5, 2012 - Friday
Drove out to the country to visit my parents. I know I have a few of these photos this week already, but how could I not stop and take this one?
October 4, 2012 - Thursday
This has been a Craker Barrel billboard for years. Everytime I pass it reminds me of a friend's daughter who always wanted to go buy candy when she saw it. I used to rarely come home this way, but since our office moved I come home this way almost everyday. Now I think of her all the time.

I was really looking forward to this for weeks. I took Riley to her first Cirque show. She'd been to one when she was much younger and she could barely remember it. As all the other shows I've seen, it was incredible.

It wasn't my intention to take pictures of the sky three days in a row, but when I left work today I saw a rainbow circle in the clounds around the sun. It was really faint, but this one spot you could see it best.
October 1, 2012 - Monday
I was running errands after work and the sky was full of some really cool clouds. There aren't too many places near me to get good sunsets, but I got this one near the grocery store by my house.
