Well, only two things here.  I got 11 spam replies to posts I&#8217;ve made, and one friend who asked when I was going to get off of my behind and post something.  So, all in all, not much happens ;)<\/p>\n<p>I have a bonafide excuse.  I&#8217;ve been busy!  I shot a wedding and have been slowly editing those photos.  We adopted another dog, too.  Let me tell you, it&#8217;s a lot like going from one child to two.  It&#8217;s double the work.  So now I have two children AND two dogs.  That&#8217;s a lot of responsibility that I brought upon myself voluntarily ;)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve still been clicking away here and there, but with this wedding I&#8217;m editing, I don&#8217;t have much gusto for going out and shooting my own stuff.  I&#8217;ll get there eventually!<\/p>\n<p>Add that to my failed harddrive and it was just a crappy month of April.  Or a busy one.  Or both.<\/p>\n<p>So, first things first, here&#8217;s Sasha.  We rescued her from the animal shelter and she&#8217;s been here for a week today :)  She&#8217;s such a dope, which makes me love her all the more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/snippets_from_suburbia\/8686248381\/\" title=\"Absolutely Normal Chaos by snippets_from_suburbia, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8257\/8686248381_c097be38c8_o.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"688\" alt=\"Absolutely Normal Chaos\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We had a family sleepover (after having a Girl Scout sleepover the night prior) and it was more or less one crazy moment after another with lots of children and animals and adults who were all starved for some much needed family-friendly(ish) fun&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/snippets_from_suburbia\/8691848854\/\" title=\"Outtake by snippets_from_suburbia, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8115\/8691848854_57536fba58_o.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"639\" alt=\"Outtake\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This little guy was pretty popular on Flickr one day &#8212; #7 for the day!
