Inspiration or desperation?</b>
I seem to be running a little on the stressed side since the holidays—so much to do; so little time. So, when I realized that I was super-tired, but that I still needed to take today’s shot [<i>desperation</i>], I headed outside to capture the full moon. [Thanks to high school buds York and Sabrina for the <i>inspiration</i>.] Thanks to NOS for sharing his fireworks shooting tips [<i>more inspiration</i>]. Inspiration for the win!](https://photos.smugmug.com/Project365/2011-November-Launch/i-ZGvdZXL/0/3d2869ed/L/IMG_5543-L.jpg)

Guardian Drummer</b>
While I have extensive Blue (M&M) and Taz collections, my Animal collection is quite small. NTS occasionally relocates this guy to my drum throne—always amusing. But, usually, he lives on the window sill behind my throne, where I see him every time I enter My Room [for which I am open to cool name suggestions].](https://photos.smugmug.com/Project365/2011-November-Launch/i-2XGhdtT/1/f684494b/Ti/2012%201%2021%20Animal-Ti.jpg)

Bad [expensive] things come in threes?</b>
This is a superstition I’m willing to accept, <i>if</i> it means we’re done with house purchases for a bit. You’ll remember that we replaced a toilet the day after Christmas, and we replaced our range this past week. Today, it’s the kitchen faucet and sprayer. As Gilda Radner’s Roseanne Roseannadanna character used to say, "It's always something—if it ain't one thing, it's another."](https://photos.smugmug.com/Project365/2011-November-Launch/i-WFTrMJW/1/61a1db98/Ti/2012%2001%2015-Ti.jpg)

Making whoopie [pies]!</b>
During Thanksgiving break, I promised NOS I would make whoopie pies for him. Today, I finally got around to it. I might be inclined (after a suitable recovery period) to try another recipe; but, today’s experiment wasn’t an unqualified success. Luckily, Tom’s coworkers seem very happy to eat <i>anything</i> that someone else makes.](https://photos.smugmug.com/Project365/2011-November-Launch/i-h7Dj2tJ/2/6ca0711a/Ti/IMG_5525-Ti.jpg)

“Tout va bien aller, vous verrez!” [“You’re going to be just fine!”]</b>
I was, unhappily, back at Target today, because (yet again) an essential item didn’t get put on the list when the last one was opened. However, as Band-Aid tells me on the box flap, I will be just fine—now that I have Animal bandages. I started with two boxes; but, I may need to stock up.](https://photos.smugmug.com/Project365/2011-November-Launch/i-TrCZG6M/2/5da91b84/Ti/IMG_5520-Ti.jpg)
