    Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600 I devoted the better part of the day deep cleaning the living room. I mopped, moved furniture, ran the Roomba, and then did another pass just vacuuming the rug. Not very exciting lives we’re living these days but there is something really calming about a neat room.

  • Giant Dog Bed, 24 December 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   We had a very low key Christmas Eve. Marla thinks our Lovesac chair is a massive dog bed. She takes a ramp up to our couch and then climbs across to it. It’s kinda hilarious.

  • Selfie, 18 December 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   It’s been a long time so I figured why not? I forgot what a challenge hand held self portraits are without a viewfinder.

  • Ultimate Dunking Set, 4 December 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   One of the silliest things we own, a set of Oreo mugs with a holder and tongs specifically for dunking.

While there I discovered they sell beers from Ohio’s Rhinegeist Brewery, which have not come to the Chicago market yet. …

We remark that she looks like we traded her in for a new one every…

  • Window Plants, 12 November 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   Came out blurry because the flash didn’t fire for some unknown reason, but here you can see the ever growing batch of window plants that Beth Ann has accrued. Had the image turned out as intended you would have seen an interesting sugar skull…

  • Tiny Space Invaders, 21 September 2020Polaroid SLR 680 SE/Polaroid Color 600   Owning a working arcade machine has been a long-term life goal for me.
