2008 Mesker-Garcia Holiday Letter

December 25th 2008 by cybertoad in domestic, general, images 0

The Basics: Kenny and I are in good health, still at the same jobs, same home. We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary this past October. How time flies!
We did sadly lose a canine companion this summer, though. Heidi, MaMa & Papa’s beloved cockapoo, passed peacefully in early September, just 2 months shy [...]

Christmas is almost here!

December 22nd 2008 by cybertoad in domestic, general, images, me, re-caps 1

The past few weeks have been busy as the holiday approaches! We’ve been busy with various events, big & small but the two more notable have been the snow that fell in Houston on December 10th and my birthday on the 13th (which included our annual holiday party).
The “blizzard” we had was shirt-lived but fun! [...]

It’s the Last Month of 2008!

Wow. So here we are, already in December. Thanksgiving has come and gone, quicker than ever. My birthday is a week and a half away, holiday gatherings and parties are quickly filling up the calendar, shopping is being done for gifts, Christmas cards have been ordered, photography gigs (weddings, portrait sessions) are essentially done for [...]

I finally updated www.cybertoad.us!

November 18th 2008 by cybertoad in general 1

This may not seem like much but I finally updated my splash page. I hadn’t touched it for a couple of years and hated the design so I just kept ignoring it. I found a usable template for free from Elated Pagekits. I completely customized it with my links & my image but I couldn’t [...]

So I am slowly tweaking things around here…

Mid-Summer Update

July 22nd 2008 by cybertoad in general, images, re-caps 2

Yeah, yeah, yet another month has flown by… let’s gets straight into the update!
Photography – The summer wedding season started in June and I have shot 3 additional weddings with Christine. I also had a freelance job this past weekend and set up the Fresh Photography booth up at the Caroline Collective for the Lebowski [...]

More catching up

March 5th 2008 by cybertoad in general, images, re-caps, travel 5

So this is sadly becoming a once-a-month blog. Sorry, but it just crazy and I have no motivation to really write something up. But everything is going well, just busy and down-time is hard to find. Actually, I lie, I get down-time but then I spend it editing photos! LOL
So here are the events over [...]

I’m here, I’m here!! Please come back!

February 6th 2008 by cybertoad in general, re-caps 4

Yes, yes, I am still around. I simply find myself over at Flickr and Twitter much more often and it’s hard to concentrate on writing out a longer blog post. I am sorry to the handful of readers I do have and thanks to Kathy & Christine for poking me into writing!
So what has been [...]

Two weeks into 2008!

January 10th 2008 by cybertoad in diet, general, me 4

We are already mostly done with the second week of 2008 and I’ve battled a cold already. I typically do not get sick – or hardly do but I have been on-and-off under the weather for the past few weeks. I finally feel like I am over the hump though and feel that I am [...]
