"You look like you need a hug"

I heard this twice yesterday. The second time was at BSF where one of my girlfriends said it to another one of my girlfriends, a pretty common scene at BSF so nothing unusual there. But the first time made me do a double take. I was at work where one of the male engineers said it to my project manager, another man. I don't believe I have ever heard one man utter that phrase to another - especially engineers. Maybe I am stereotyping engineers but in the year I have been there the guys in my office have not come across real touchy-feely.

And as I side note - I do feel like I need a hug right now. I just attempted to make a dessert for Thanksgiving that I had never made before and it didn't turn out at all. In the grand scheme of life it is rather small and insignificant but I am sad anyway. And now I stressing out about what to do instead - do I go back to the grocery store for the 3rd time tonight or wait till tomorrow? And then when I do go back do I just buy something pre-made or do I make something tomorrow night that I have made in the past? Hmm...

A New Google Function

I come up with a new Google search function that I would like to see. I would like to search an image - I upload an image and Google come up with matching images or I guess sites with that image. The reason for this is that I have found some building that we took pictures of, particularly in Paris that I have no idea what it is.

For example, we have 12 pictures of this building in Paris and I am not sure what it is. And you think that if we bothered to take 12 pictures I might remember what it is. But apparently not.



Or an other example, again in Paris, but we only took 5 pictures of this one but again not sure what it is. If Angie or Suzanne or anyone else who has been to Paris can remember what they are please fill me in. Thanks.

Too Many Pictures?

I have decided that I want to do a scrapbook of my Europe trip. To do this I must decide which pictures I want to use. Between Angie, Suzanne and I we have a total of approximately 2100 pictures of our trip. So deciding which pictures to use will be no easy task and time consuming but hopefully in the end it will be worth it and so far it has been fun, although tedious.


In the process of doing this I have wondered if perhaps we took a few too many pictures. For example, we were only in Salzburg, Austria for 24 hours but managed to take 530 pictures in that time (for comparison we were in Paris for 36 hours but took 360 pictures). And while I obviously can't show you 530 pictures I did find something fun that I can show you. There were many instances all 3 of us took many pictures of the same object so below is a video of a series of pictures we took. Here the object is the house that was used as the back of the house in "The Sound of Music."

Note: When I tried it I had to hit the play button twice to get it to play but it did work.
