30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 28

Day 28 - A picture of something you're afraid of.

*DISCLAIMER* Do NOT click on the link in the paragraph below if you do not like spiders either...I've already been scolded...so now if you do, you've been warned!  :)

Do you know how hard it was to go find this picture, and put it here?  Even the picture FREAKS ME OUT!  (Plus, thank you Google Images for the oh so terrifying picture of camel spiders...that is something I will not be able to shake for a while now.)  *full body shudder*

PS: Normally I enlarge pictures, today, I can't shrink this sucker small enough...YUCK.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 26

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 25

Day 25 - A picture of your day.

Sunday lazy Sunday...

So, today was/is (because it's not Monday yet) a relatively lazy day, and I have loved every minute of it.  For the photo challenge, I have found myself finding stock images for a lot of the days instead of using ones I have.  Granted, I haven't had good ones to use for most of the days, so Google Image Search has been my saving grace.  Today, I wanted to use as many real pictures as possible, and between my iPhone and my camera, I feel like I got some decent shots.  Here we go!

Oh hey, look, today's blog post is supposed to be about pictures of my day...well, today is likely to be rather boring, but hey, I'll have a bit o'fun with this so...ok...

*sound of my phone going off*

Hmmm...how the heck am I going to make a word with no vowels...

Sheesh my place is a bit messy...so I should really pick up and do some laundry so I'll have clothes for the week.  Oh, and I haven't run the vacuum in a bit, so probably should do that too.

    

*sound of my phone going off*

Well crap...all vowels...I wonder if I can make a few weird additions to something...

LUNCH!  Italian Pasta salad...love that it keeps for a few days after I initially make it...

Hmmm...lazy day + cleaning + lunch = naptime...zzzzzzz

*yaaaawn*  *streeeeeetch*  hmmm...I'm thinking a movie...but which format...DVR is caught up, so maybe some Netflix goodness.

George gave me a super fun present last night...I might have to crack the spine today...

Evil Easter Crack...I shall resist your temptation...(well, I'm going to try to anyways...)

Rawr...can't figure out side by side photo placement in the blog, my sister in law, Maggy (and researcher extraordinaire) informs me she's figured it out (have I mentioned you should check out her blog?  You really should...) and came over tonight to help me out.  She taught me about html embedding (I was a bit more intimidated by this than she was) and I taught her the tricks I learned with regards to some photo downloads.  We cracked open my book I just got (Blogging for Dummies) to get a few more tips here and there.

What you don't see...well, mostly don't see (on purpose) are two girls who are in pj's/sweats, surrounded by 2 laptops, 2 iPhones, a bunch of cords, the Blogging for Dummies book and there may or may not have been some consumption of the above mentioned Evil Easter Crack.  Yay for teamwork!!

After Maggy left, I tuned in to my weekly Sunday Sobfest...the lineup of Secret Millionaire, Army Wives and Coming Home.  I have gone through 2 boxes of Kleenex in 3 weeks...ugh.  I either need to start crying less (doubtful) or buy cheaper Kleenex for the living room...

Normally yes, I'd be a bit grossed out by used Kleenex, but rest assured, they are all damp only from tears, no boogers.  

Well, since I can't bring myself to end a post talking about boogers, then I have to wrap up today by  talking about what's I'm excited about for tomorrow:  Dinner at The Melting Pot with three great friends!  

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 24

Day 24 - A picture of something you wish you could change.

Something I wish I could change, or something I'm really trying to be better about changing?

I wish there were a magic pill to make it easy, but I guess I also don't want something that is that easy, because of the possible repercussions when you stop taking a med...bounce back and gain it all back.

In the meantime...I continue the process of brainwashing myself (again) into eating food that's better for me and moving more...not because I feel this need to be super skinny, but I want to be healthy.  I mentioned this before, and now I just have to make sure I actually DO it.  :)

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 23

Day 23 - A picture of your favorite book.

The book, the play, the movie, the name Atticus...I love this book!!!!

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 22

Day 22 - A picture of something you wish you were better at.

Uhhhh....I dunno...remembering to update my blog?

Orrrr...pack my gym bag so I'll actually go after work instead of coming home and then not going?

Yeah...we'll stick with those two for now...

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 21

Day 21 - A picture of something you wish you could forget.

Ok, if it's something I wish I could forget, why on earth would I be bringing up pictures of it?  Argh...

Anyways, if I had to pick...The Roommate.  That's what I wish I could forget.

For obvious reasons, I will not be posting pictures of the real Roommate, but when you Google Image "Bad Roommate" there are some...well...interesting pictures...so this is the tamest I could find...

For MOST of the Roommate story...click HERE...now, I will admit...living with her definitely made me feel like this...

Thankfully I don't have to worry about that now, and thankfully memories of this ugly time in life, are starting to fade.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 20

Day 20 - A picture of somewhere you'd love to travel.

I've been once, am really wanting to go back!!  (Germany)

London...foggy foggy London (C'mon...Mary Poppins is from here!)

Have wanted to go for many years...someday...
