I’ve been icky sickie the last few days. I haven’t had a cold this bad in YEARS. I had a temporary break in the yuckies on Saturday and left the house to celebrate Matthew’s NINTH birthday in San Francisco! We had tons of fun, I plan to post pictures, hopefully tomorrow. But in the meantime…...
Shannon, ME TOO! Ohmiheck. I had a bad ole’cold back in January, came home from Love Affair and immediately got a worse cold. I’m still not over it. I’ve had too bad cases of peeling nose from all of the blowing. I’m going crazy just wanting to have no more phlem…ugh. I hope you’re feeling better. It was absolutely wonderful to have you at Love Affair. You are a sweet gift.
Oh! And I watched Dan on the way home from NC and loved it. Is there anything I don’t love about Steve Carrell? He was wonderful in this movie…
Jay and I saw Dan in Real Life in the movie theatres and loved it. I was laughing so hard at the part where they’re at the piano… I was almost crying. I just rented it from Netflix and watched it two more times. And you’re right, the soundtrack is awesome.
I hope you feel better soon!
i’ve been HORRIBLY sick too. it has been an absolute nightmare!
maybe my comments about the movie will even the playing field a bit for people. i didn’t enjoy it, it was WAY to slow for me and the music bored me to death. i did however laugh in a few places. now i believe that if i had seen it when it first came out in the theatre i probably would have LOVED it because this movie is honestly right up my alley. people raved about this movie and said it was their fave. and so hysterical so i bought it before seeing it. the hype ruined it for me. i want my money back! hahahah! there, maybe that lowered the standard a bit for those who haven’t seen it yet. 
glad you loved it though…all of my friends did too.
hope you get better soon!
The same day I read this, Trevor’s sister was raving about “Dan”. Now I feel like a loser who never gets out much. I must remedy that. Love the new blog header. Can’t wait for the new site:)
I was just talking about Dan in Real Life today! We started watching it a couple weeks ago but started it too late and had to break for sleep. Today someone said something about a bookstore and immediately I remembered that I must finish watching that movie! Tonight!
Ok… I didn’t really mean to post this today, but being the technological guru I am, I can’t figure out how it was republished without my permission… I’m sure I gave it permission somehow! I’ll probably be tweaking it here and there over the next couple days. Give me feedback. Like the look? Hate it?...

Great work.
Raise your hand if you’re sick of that banner! I was thinking it had been months since I changed it. But I just looked in my files… It’s been an entire year! I’m so sorry to subject all of you to that. Question is… do I post my new website first and then change the...

I LOVE that self portrait…and yes, I really dug myself into a hole didn’t I? lol. Miss you, Shannon!
I love the new look, Shannon! Perfect!!
Hey Shannon! I love the new look and now I am wanting to watch Dan in Real Life today! I saw the preview for that a while back and never got to make it out while it was in the theater so now I am just dying to watch it. It was so great to get to meet you at Love Affair Workshop. Take care and keep up the great work!
for pictures of an adorable baby!! I took these before the workshop, but I just finished proofing these today. Mr. J was awake the entire time, except for about 2 minutes. He was a pleasant and adorable baby, just not a sleepy one! My favorite of the session (to be seen on a website coming...

LOVE the little crossed feet, Shannon!
Great images — love them!
Hey, I know that baby! Adorable pics. I’m sure Mr J’s mom is going to be thrilled with them.
And Little Miss Sophie cracks me up.
those are really lovely!
I don’t know that baby, but I know his people! Great pics and Sophie, you sound like Trevor playing the XBOX.
Absolutely beautiful black and whites. Such creamy skin tones! I love the little smirk barely showing on baby with grinning big sister.
What a cute baby!!!…and little girl too. We love the photos!
Seems like I kind of stalled in my recap of the workshop! I was getting tired of hearing myself talk about it, I guess.That, and figuring out what pictures I want to post is hard! I’ve been working real hard on my new website. I can’t wait to show everyone. I was hoping to debut...

Hey! It’s me your stalker! Okay, not really, I don’t even know where you live! (Some stalker I am…)
But seriously (I type that work A LOT when I leave comments on your blog) you are definately my #1 “celebrity” to meet before I die.
I love the photos of you! Especially the head shot by Sally Brewer, it looks like the cover of a CD or something equally cool, oh oh, it could be a model picture! I LOVE IT!
You had a blast at this workshop, didn’t you??? I can tell. (wink!)
Signing off,
Miss JEALOUS in AZ
So glad you posted more. I have been checking your blog daily looking for an update:P That place looks magical. Can’t wait to see all your new stuff. So exciting:)
Oops, my bad. In my language “work” = “word.” :0)
Oh and I forgot to mention that the photos your are super cute. All of them!
Looks like an AMAZING trip.
So glad you had that opportunity.
Hi Shannon! This is Trish, your sister in law. I just discovered your blog last Wednesday when I was looking around your website. I’ve become addicted, and am excited for you and your new website. I already think you are so funny, and talented, but think even more so after discovering your blogs. The other night a few friends were not wanting to go home yet so they stopped by around 11:30 and I was making them look at some of your blogs. I know I’m weird, but they enjoyed it too. Some of my faves were about the leaf bug and Michael, Dave’s coworkers son. Your thoughts are ensightful, edifying, perspective changing, inspiring, and hilarious! Thanks! Glad you enjoyed your workshop!
You look so great in those pictures, where do I sign up for a makeover so I can have a photoshoot?
You’ve grown my friend…artistically and in confidence. I can see it in your pictures. It’s nice to see you ‘come out’more!
Side note: After last weekend I will never look at things the same again. I will,forevermore, be looking for the light.
You go girl!!
You’re so pretty! But I can’t tell if you had a good time or not…
Shannon,
Wow … You are so cute and so talented my dear! Thanks for all the plugs. Anyway, I know your website is going to ROCK! I can’t wait to see the finished product. I miss you but so happy I can keep up with your life in this manner. Keep the posts coming … I’m your newest stalker
Carmen
Wow- cool pics. Funny seeing you “fierce” but I love the All American Girl shots!!
Your man is “the man” still by the way. Always bailing us out. We need to repay you like a thousand times!!
