Unwrapping Christmas

Yesterday, the first packages began arriving from the online shopping I've been doing for Christmas. I brought them in and sat them on the floor knowing I would get back to them in a bit after preparing lunch.

So into the kitchen I went to prepare lunch and to let the dogs in. As I was finishing up the tuna salad I had made, I heard a tearing sound, Riiiiiiiip, Riiiiiiip, Riiiiiiiip! I walked into the living room to find Phoenix surrounded by shredded pieces of cardboard, and in the act of tearing off another piece. "Hey, what do you think you are doing?", I yelled at her, and she ran under the dining room table with a substantial piece of cardboard in her mouth.

What a mess to clean up. Luckily Amazon ships a box in a box so no gifts were damaged from "the little stinker." Although, she got very close to tearing into the actual box with the gift in it.

Destruction by Phoenix

She's lucky she didn't get into that second box.

A New Year

It's a new year and the semester is over but another one is on its way towards the end of this month...no rest for the brain I suppose. The most recent thing I've been doing is setting up my address book in mac, talk about time consuming...but it's fun and its gotta be done. The last pictures I took were of family at Christmas. I got some cool new gadgets and software for my mac for Christmas, so those will be fun to play with when I have a free minute...which seems rare these days. Can't say that I made any new years resolutions because I usually don't because that's just a sure sign that they will get broke. But there are goals that I would like to accomplish this year such as; buy some groceries...ha ha, branch out our photography business more, look into stock photography, and the list goes on and on.
