Nielsens, Meet the Nielsens

Ah, fun. I haven't been in my office all day... so I decided to come in here tonight to do a few things on the big computer. I'm gonna make myself a playlist in iTunes and play around with categorizing a few more pics. That is, if I can get my computer to wake up. Darn it. I hate having to kill a perfectly good computer just to get it to wake up.

So, it's official. Jon and I are a Nielsen family. They must've read my belly-aching about not ever asking me what I was watching. Well, starting today, I get to keep a diary of everything I watch. It's not as fun as I thought it would be. It's actually kind of a pain. I don't think I'll watch TV at all for the rest of the week just so I don't have to keep a diary of everything that catches our attention for 5 minutes. (That's the rule, by the way. If you stick on a program for 5 minutes, you're supposed to write it down. Luckily, I watch in bigger blocks of time, but still...)

Anyway, it's time again to clean out the old Pics folder. Let's see... I like to take pics of the sky, the sun, and clouds... especially from the pool. These last few days haven't been ideal; it's been a while since we saw blue sky through the wildfire smoke. But these were from a while back when we had some really beautiful days. What else? Granny & me on Dad's b-day at Greenfield. I ♥ my Granny, sweet little woman. This was the day before I let Juanita cut off all my locks. The pic of the big brother/little brother car siblings is from the same night. Mom commented as we were coming out of the restaurant that she couldn't tell which was hers. Can you tell the diff? If I get my way... eventually, maybe Mom & I will look even more alike. Although, I prefer the Chevrolet emblem on the front to the Pontiac one. Semantics... they're the same car. And finally, one for you to guess. It's (obviously) an extreme close-up of something I've kept handy for the last few weeks.
