After a four-month absence, I'm back with the twelve with a new camera and a new laptop.  Yippee!!  Though, of course, this has to be one of the most boring days I've had recently.  I'm thankful our fearless leader, Chad Darnell, has decided to do another round of the 12.  You take 12 photos of your day on the 12th day of each month and share them via Chad's blog with people from all over the world.  It's a great way to connect with others everywhere!  We really are more similar than different no matter where we live.  Details are here.

Around 1 am uploading photos to my new computer.  It's so nice to have a computer that actually WORKS for a change!!!!

One of the biggest changes around here is getting a second kitty.  Princess Leia is suffering from separation anxiety due to her traumatic beginnings (poor baby!) so I am trying an experiment of having a companion for her.  I'm fostering Moby, a sweet tempered, mellow and ambient Russian Blue who is about 3 years old.  So far so good.  In fact, Leia has been the aggressor mostly, popping poor Moby in the face and chasing him.  I'll give it a couple more weeks to see if they warm up to each other.  Right now they're just tolerating each other.

2 am and time for bed!

Around 12 pm with the Princess, the Mighty Huntress.

The Mobester chillin'.

He is super handsome.

So, to recreate a photo from a past January 12, I looked back to 2009 and recreated this photo of my work buddy, David, who was game.

And he shot this repro one of me from January 2008.  I told you, super boring day.

At home.  My pedicure has had it.  I do have square feet!

Moby patiently waiting for Leia to finish her meal so he can have his after dinner treat.

He is the master of the "I'm so cute" look.

This 12 was a snooze but it's good to be back in the swing of things!
