I’m excited for 2015. I’m starting this year off as the mother of little boys, instead of babies. I have amazing help, and a job I like.
Happy New Year, and I hope this is the best 2015 of your life.

Today it is Monday and we are gathering wild violets. Last year it was a year for spiderwort, which crept over the strawberries and the clover and all the grasses and popped airy blue flowers out of green jointed stems and I took photographs and looked online until I could name it and I thought Read more >>

So we have sort of officially launched Pomfolio, and my portfolio is being organically created at http://briannaprivett.com using the String Theory theme and a couple of plugins. I like it, it does what it says on the box. Plus, this is the first time I’ve aggregated all the various stuff I put online in one Read more >>

On today’s menu: black oil sunflower seeds & the usual, peanuts. The sunflower seeds have drawn visits today from several towhees, juncos, acorn woodpeckers, brewer’s blackbirds, steller’s and scrub jays, several band-tailed pigeons, and one northern flicker. It should be noted for the purposes of this record that it has snowed for several hours this Read more >>

It is time to put brianna.org to sleep for the New Year, as always, while I tinker behind the scenes. I am planning on launching a proper photography portfolio in 2008, so I thought it would be good to post photos from every month in 2007 as a reflection on the work I’ve done and, Read more >>

I’m getting a nose job. I’m not sure when, and I have no plans yet to begin the whole process, but after years (a decade really) of thinking about it, I think I’m going to do it. Josh and I were talking the other night, and I owned up to being a champion grudge-holder. To Read more >>

I’m listening to Pete Yorn. I always have to mention what I’m listening to, because if I’m on the computer I’m listening to music. When J.’s friend was out this past weekend, I warned her in the car – “If a good song comes on, I will make a fool of myself singing and dancing Read more >>

B. threw us a little party last night to give us a chance to get a few of our friends together before we leave. It was a nice evening. J.’s friend S. from high school was out here for the weekend, and I got to see a few people I hadn’t seen for awhile. I Read more >>

Oh man. I feel like a teenager in the year 1975 (“Jimmy Page is playing my PAIN, man!!”) – this Zeppelin song makes me cry every time I hear it now. The soft surf riffs that remind me of every day I have ever spent near the ocean, listening to the Beach Boys and the Read more >>
