My black lab mix Lyla with her head on my leg demanding attention as I’m working at my desk.
Screenshot of the Audible app, 0 minutes remaining in The Great Hunt.
A close up of my left hand showing my nails painted red. There’s a more red stripe through the middle of each nail, and darker to either side.
Still from the e-commerce edition of Web Dev Challenge in Houston. Robbie and Jordan collaborating in the foreground, Jason in the background, listening in.
In the foreground I’m holding my in progress knitting, a couple inches of gray, blue, and salt and pepper rows. In the background blurry is holiday stuffies, a small Christmas tree and great British bake off holiday edition.
The festive corner of my living room -- a small (faux) pre-lit tree, with ornaments accumulated over the years, a white blanket with geometric green christmas trees and red shapes, and two stuffies (a little Santa and a little smiling dog with a santa hat). The room is warm, lit by the Christmas tree lights.
A snap of College Gameday close up on Kirk Herbstreit at the broadcast desk and his dog Peter, who has his paws up on the desk next to him.
A new cast on knitting project, just one setup row complete. It’s sitting on top of the mini bundle yarn for the rest of the project — a bundle I couldn’t resist from Purl Soho.
The photo shows part of my living room. In the foreground on the coffee table is a coffee and a new knitting project. On the tv in the background is the Lofi Girl Christmas stream, and next to it is our small Christmas tree.
My dog Lyla, a small black lab mix, sitting near the couch looking off to the side. In the background is our tv and bookshelf, blurred.
The cover of The Eye of the World, the first book in the Wheel of Time series, on my Kindle. A lofi channel is on my tv in the background.
My kindle, held up by a tablet holder, displaying the first page of chapter one of the second book in the Wheel of Time series. I’m also holding a clicker that turns the page wirelessly.

My dog Riggins, a large lab mix, looking down at me. He takes up most of the photo and his head looks overly huge due to the perspective.
Me and my spouse (!!) standing at the base of the steps outside the Travis County Courthouse. He’s wearing a blue jacket, button down and jeans, I’m wearing a red silk dress. We’re holding hands, he’s smiling big at me and I’ve got my other hand in my dress pocket (yes dress pocket!) and am laughing about something.
Cutie little possum peeking over the fence. It’s dark outside and he’s illuminated by a flashlight.
My little rubber ducking buddies on my desk: a red duck with horns, a purple duck, a ceramic mushroom with a top that looks like a pop tart, a ceramic turtle and an anthropomorphic poo
A screenshot of my most used feeds. In order: “Mutuals, OnlyPosts, Quiet Posters, Only Replies, The ‘Gram”
Hot dogs cooking on a campfire grill in the dark evening. The rest of the background isn’t visible.

My work station: A white desk with a Logitech ergonomic keyboard, my laptop, one display on either side, a Rubik’s cube, timer, tardis mug of pens, candle, fan, and little work buddies (rubber ducks, ceramic mushroom and turtle, and smiley poo character).
Ladybird lake in downtown Austin Texas. Blue water below, blue skies above, green treeline on either side of the river.
A hanging vertically oriented art piece. The frame and background wood, and collaged rocks are arranged in the wood cutout areas to form an image of birds and plants. The color palette is very neutral — black, brown and white.
ChatGPT generated illustration of what it thinks my life looks like. An illustrated woman is sitting facing away, looking at a computer with a window behind it. The rest of the room is an office, with two dogs, lots of books and yarn, coffee, and several todo lists on the wall.
