Holy crap. Another month gone. I can’t believe it. September felt similar to July in that it was a tumultuous month, filled with fun things and bad news. I had some GREAT times in September – we had a fun work event, my parents visited, I saw Fiona Apple, and some of my girlfriends from Marist came to visit from NY (the last 2 points are coming in the next few days). But there was always the undertone of what’s going on with my family back on Long Island, and when you live with a constant weight of worry and guilt that you’re not there for someone who has been there for you 110% of the time, it takes its toll. In a way, I can’t wait for 2012 to end so I can be rid of this stupid year.
But anyway, I didn’t mean to be a downer. I have some fun posts that I’ve been working on that are coming up. I have an INSANE week ahead of me, so I’ll probably be Internet scarce since I won’t be home very much between now and next Sunday night. I should still be able to have some posts up though, so check back or subscribe to get them via email. ALRIGHT! That said, here are my entries for September’s Photo-a-Day topics (#fmsphotoaday). I missed a few of them this month, but did about 93% of it! If you want to play along for October, here’s the list. Click to enlarge any of these pictures and hover over the thumbnail to read the original text that went with each one. Enjoy!
