Techie Mommy

1 month milestone.... w00t! Went out with the girls to run some errands today, and ended up eating and playing at McDonald's. Y, who is usually brave at these things surprised me by chickening out of going up the slide. X loved it though (and she used to be so scared of climbing up these maze like tubes). Y was happy enough eating her french fries, cheering her "ate" and taking photos from mommy's phone. I forgot to bring my camera with us, so today's photo of the day is brought to you by the iPhone.

I have this picture in my head that I've been trying to take. I've seen other pictures of it but they don't really explain their setup or their equipment, so all I can do is experiment. For all I know, I may not even have the right equipment for it. Anyways, this morning, with the light coating of snow flurries that were on the car, I thought I may have the opportunity. I think it's close to what I want, but it's not quite there. I wanted a photo that would show the individual snowflakes in detail. Not all of it, but at least some of it (at least 1!). However, this is the closest that I got to what I wanted. The others were really just either a chunk of ice, or a blob of white :) Maybe next time, it will be better. Meanwhile, I also got one of those rare moments where my 3 angels posed together for a photo. Y is even smiling! X is not in her best smile, and Z has his deer in a headlights look -- but this photo is preciously rare :)

9pm and the girls are fed, bathed and are in their night clothes. I wonder if I can get them to sleep at 10pm, but then their dad will be sad as he'll miss seeing his girls.

Heard back from Nanay's doctor about the polyps that were removed, they were benign! Thanks for the prayers.

Looking forward to San Francisco next week except I'm going to be in and out so fast, I don't think I'm going to be able to enjoy the city.

Ending this week with some really good news. I am also proud of having made it this far into this project! It's been almost a month, with a few close calls including today. Got home pretty late because I hung out with team mates after work. By the time I had late dinner, and gave the girls a bath and into their PJs, it's 11:30pm and still no picture of the day! We were all already in the bedroom so I've been trying to improvise and find something interesting. I liked the patterns of this and actually liked the way the light made it look soft and glowy. This photo is in its original composition, no cropping whatsoever. I liked it as it is! :) I won't tell what it is though I'm sure it will be obvious.

Snotty woman on the train told me not to lean my laptop on her bag. I asked her if she wants to switch her bag with mine so I'm touching my bag instead of hers and she didn't want that because she was there first. Hrmpf! I moved. A whole hour is too long to sit with her.
