dim sum diaries

Well, the day can't get any worse. Garage door froze, so I was late for a school visit. When I came home, I noticed a water main had broken on my street, which spilled water all down the sidewalk and up my driveway (hello skating rink). And now the water in my house looks like weak tea. Gross.

Anyway, the one good thing to look forward to is the Edmonton Journal photographer taking shots for my next two columns. I like going into the studio to take photos, but I love it when the photographer comes to my house, because it means less travel time for me. More importantly, I can feel a bit more relaxed. Normally, I look forward to photo shoots with the same sense of dread that I used to have just before having to get my class photo done.

Anyway, the photos are for a Valentine's Day article and a spring cleaning article. I have a couple of ideas, and I'm hoping that I won't look too deer-in-the-headlights for the shoot.

Hopefully, the photographer can get past the roadblock on the street and the ice dam building up on my sidewalks. Sigh. Next year, I'm spending the winter in Costa Rica.
