2006, Photos of the year


This blog is more than a little photo dry... partly because I don't have a digital camera (gosh, that's so last century), and partly because I spend so much time looking at screens anyway (think about it, stare at the digital clock, stare at your phone, stare at the tv, stare at the computer, etc), spending more time looking at reality through a lens seems a little too self indulgent.

So here's pickies courtesy of the rest of the family. This is Tecate, our Belgian Sheperd. He wants to kill our landlady.

My IQ went down a couple of notches while I was blond. I dyed my hair for the shooting of Resident Evil 3: Extinction. It's good to try everything at least once, but blonds certainly don't have more fun, especially if they're undead.

William had his first spring festival at daycare and is cuter than ever.
Oh, and we went to our first hen party, sans strippers of course.
We went to San Felipe with the whole family. And I got and quit my job with a real estate company there.
My dad opened a gym with my uncle. This is one of the instructors. Staring at men with big muscles isn't a novelty anymore.

Hey girls, hey boys, super star dj, here we go!

Ah, finally it's safe to post, now the existential angst of the New Year is finally starting to dissipate... and well erm okay yes, the Mexico City cutie has gone back to Mexico City, leaving me with somewhat a bit more free time. Well actually he's in lovely Los Cabos which, with any luck, will be the setting of our wedding =). I know, I'm disgusting but I like it that way.

So without any nostalgia, 2006 was an odd year (well which isn't?). We all learnt a thing or two about love and hate, and the inadequacy of the Fear-----Love lifeline from Donnie Darko (oversleeping? Watch it, should get you through the night without a wink). Sometimes t
hose we love make us hate them a little, and the people we used to think we loved we end up hating a lot. Who knows what 2007 will be like? Hopefully it'll be more about learining to love things we hate.
