JSP Visual Week In Review | 12.22.12
Whew. It felt like a mad dash through this past week. I had to hit certain key milestones on the big project at work that I’m overseeing, to it felt like I was glued to email, waiting to see if I got approvals. I did, and things are moving on with that.
I also had to do my Christmas shopping for my wife. No easy task. We’ve been together 12 years, so it’s always a challenge. She’s certainly not materialistic (a good thing) so it’s not like trinkets or baubles are the way to go. And anyway, in a house with three kids five and under, trinkets and baubles don’t stand a chance.
But, I squared all that away and took some time before leaving work yesterday to wrap everything so I’m in good shape there. I’m home for the next week, and expect to put that work stuff on the back burner, at least for a little while.
I did do some shooting this week, but decided to do my week-end montage of some of the Christmas decorations I’ve seen. I’m not a big “inflatables” guy, and I’m not sure what would possess someone to put a Xmas-theme inflatable Spongebob on their front lawn…but I’ve seen it. Decorations go from the ridiculus to the sublime.
Kind of like our lives, I guess.
