30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 18

Day 18 - A picture of your biggest insecurity.

'Nuff said.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 17

Day 17 - A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently.

Impact:  The effect or influence of one person, thing, or action on another.

This person came into my life, first as my teacher, then as my friend.  The first night I met her, she quoted Bill Cosby, and a massive amount of laughter later...I can't imagine life without her and the massive amounts of laughter that still happen whenever we are in the same room.

Without her, I wouldn't know how to knit (remember she was my teacher first!), wouldn't have challenged my skills with new projects...the conversations we've had at the gym, at our weekly trivia night, I love it.

I have recently started helping her out with her business, and it's SO COOL to see her succeed, because she's REALLY talented at what she does.  I'm weird, I get this huge surge of pride when she gets recognition for what she's accomplished...she deserves it...I just love seeing her get the recognition she deserves!!!

Marlaina Bird and I...doing what we do best...laughing.

Not a great shot of me, but a very accurate depiction of how we end up spending most of our time together!!!

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 16

Day 16 - A picture of someone who inspires you.

I don't know what it is, but someone (especially kiddos) fighting with all they've got, and have what I have nicknamed a "Chemo Cue Ball"...totally puts things I might be struggling with in perspective.

**Please note, none of these people are any of my patients.  All of these pictures are from Google Images.**

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 15

Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die.

Have some pounds to shed first, but it. will. happen.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 14

Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without.

Really?  Did you expect me to put anyone else??

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 13

Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist.

Oh how I love him, and his music.  Now, if only he'd put out another album and tour again.  Ladies and gentlemen...Jon McLaughlin.

(This was taken in 2008, his last jaunt through town...)

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 12

Day 12 - A picture of something you love.

"There's a difference between like and love.  Because I like my Sketchers, but I love my Prada backpack."
"But, I love my Sketchers."
"That's because you don't have a Prada backpack."

While this is in no way the tone I took today's photo challenge, (bonus points to the person who comments with the correct movie that above quote is from) I get to choose how I interpret these challenges, and if you want to do it differently...kudos, embark on your own photo challenge and do as you please!

You will notice there is a theme to these pictures.  I'm kind of curious as to what everyone else thinks is the theme, but that's the fun of it...

Can you guess yet? 

No?  C'mooon...sensing ANY kind of theme??

Anyone?  Anyone?  Bueller...Bueller...

What I LOVE is not taking myself/life too seriously.  (I know, I'm weird...work with me, keep reading.)

There is 99.999% of the time, something that can be made light of in a situation (when appropriate).  There is something that when skewed juuuuuuust right...turns something either said off hand, looked at just wrong, or caught in the right mood, is absolutely hilarious.  

Do I take life seriously when it needs to be?  Yes.  (For the most part.)  

However, since I am one of those oh so annoying glass-half-full people who refuses to dwell in the Pit of Despair (another movie reference...oh c'moooon, humor me, you've read this far...) for longer than the shortest amount I can possibly can,  I am constantly amused by the simplest of things that you may think "Um, ok, yeah, whatever, ya freak." the whole while, in my little world, the laughter...is the best part.

Epilogue/Note: 

I contribute the talent of not dwelling in the Pit of Despair (C'mon, really??  NObody??) to the fact that I am 1) one of those annoying glass-half-full people, and 2) I am easily distrac...oooo SHINY!!! so something is bound to come along shortly to distract me.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 11

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate.

These are a few of my least favorite things...

If God wanted me to chase little green roly poly's around on a plate, they would taste good when I caught them.  Blech.

This is a brain cancer cell, under an electron microscope.

This is a breast cancer cell, under an electron microscope.

Honestly, the second two scare the buh-jeebers out of me...

PS: if you ever go Google Image searching for cancer cells...make sure you look up cancer cells under a microscope or you will be scarred for life...I know I am...*full body shudder*

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 10

Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the most messed up things with.
