Happy Veterans Day. I am proud to be an American.

Evan is off today, so we had lunch together. It was a nice change of pace. He came back to work with me afterwards and I introduced him to some people. :) Sometimes I still can't believe that he's my boyfriend.

I don't have anything else to say right now because I'm irritated about something work-related and don't feel like talking. But here are some pictures.



Lawson wanted to take photos of his new house, but didn't remind me until I was walking out the door at almost midnight. Thus, he will be handling that later.


Lawson's friend Samantha brought this nice cake. Here's Helen attacking it. :)


Helen modeling Lawson's favorite kitchen appliance, the Coco-Motion. I have to admit that, despite its cheesy name, it makes great hot chocolate.


Playing Trivial Pursuit: Jeremy, Teresa, Lance, Lawson's giant TV, Lawson's friend whose name I forgot, and the back of Evan's head.

Hey B,
If you save those files as PNG instead of JPG, they'll be way smaller and will load tons faster for people. ;)

They always loaded fast before. I don't know what the problem is now. I don't have Photoshop here so I can't fix it.

I'll convert them/reupload them from here, and then fire you an e-mail once they're on the server. All you'll have to do is change the extension in the IMG tag. :)

Yikes... Nevermind. PNG files of those images are HUGE! :P

Helen's cute when she's not wielding a knife. :)
I just read that Saruman won't be in the Return of the King movie!!! They're saving a seven minute epiloge for his character for one of the DVDs. it was going to be in Two Towers, then Return, now, not at all. I'm a little put off by that. I wanted to see his character wrap, but they mainly figure "people will assume he died during the Ent attack."
Figured I'd mention this, given your Lord of the Rings-ishness lately... oy.

Thanks for sharing pics! I always love your pics. =)

Do I owe you a letter? *g* I've been loopy lately with letters, so I wasn't sure.

*hugs* I hope everything is okay at work. Will say a prayer about the situation. :)

Yay! I'm proud to be an American too!

Well, I hope your day ended up being better and whatever was going on at work straightened itself out. It's always kind of bummy when other than work you'd be having a good day.

I would think it the other way around too.. Most likely, the problem is that the image quality is too high.

Yes, I agree. I took the files and compressed them a bit more as JPEGs, then re-copied them to the server. This halved the file size, effectively halving the load on my server. I think I might take my server back up to work for good... we have multiple T1s there, and I wouldn't have that kind of problem.

:) Actually, I owe you one. I have no idea when I'm going to get to it. Sorry. :( Maybe over Thanksgiving when I am in Texas, bored.

Yeah. I've yet to see whether it works out or not, but I'm just trying to have a better attitude about it. Thanks for your concern. :)
