Still Here & A Little Link Love



I'm still here !!!


As you can see, my little photo challenge didn't last very long . . . only 8 days !
I was enjoying it and all, but it's difficult & frustrating to take pictures
after work and in dark/bad lighting . . . I need some sunlight !
Maybe I'll try again during the summer, when the days are brighter & longer !

No new knitting projects to report . . . still working on the
"Jam Hands" sweater ! It's almost done & looking good . . .
I'm just ready to move on to something else !!

So, since I have nothing really to show or say,
I'll leave you with a picture of my favorite furry boys,
and some link love . . . .



* I made these cookies for Valentine's Day . . . . BIG YUM !!!

* I love this blog . . . everything is just lovely, especially this post !!!

* When I saw this, I decided it should be pinned to my sleeve !!!!



Happy Monday !!!

Day 8: A Bad Habit


Posted by Picasa

Tagged !

I was tagged by the lovely Amy with this little meme !
I'm not going to completely play by the rules
(I'm not tagging anyone else), but otherwise . . . . . !
Here goes . . .



11 Random Things About Me:

1. I hate repetitive noises (foot tapping, pen clicking, etc.) --- this is a tough one, since I'm married to a drummer who is constantly tapping with his fingers !!

2. When I was little & my mom was trying to give me a bath, I would run around naked yelling "Nudo, nudo !" I don't do that anymore . . . !!!!!!

3. I'm a little OCD . . . when I put on my make-up, the front of the foundation bottle has to be facing me . . . when I unload the dishwasher, the "fresh" dishes have to go on the bottom of the stack (for equal wear & tear on the dishes . . . duh !) . . . and so on ! It won't wreck me if things aren't done this way . . . they just won't be done the "right" way !!! Uh oh . . . now you think I'm psycho . . . !

4. When I laugh really hard, my eyes water like I'm crying . . . and sometimes I snort, too !!!

5. I drink about 100 ounces of water every day.

6. Even though I was a nationally-ranked gymnast, I always have been & always will be a total klutz !!!

7. I almost got kicked out of church camp once !

8. I don't share well (I'm an only child . . . what d'ya want ?!?!!!!!!) !!

9. I'm terrible with song lyrics and titles . . . I get them completely wrong !!!

10. I'm always cold . . . . I even cover up with a blanket when it's 80+ degrees outside !!

11. I've tried to read the book "Middlemarch" twice . . . and never made it to the end !!



(Proof of #2 !!!!)





Questions to answer:

1. What was your most embarrassing moment ? I honestly can't think of one . . . I try to fly under the radar, so maybe it's working . . . or maybe my moment hasn't happened yet ?!?!?!!!

2. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would that be ? So many choices . . . England is lovely, and so is British Columbia . . . but tropical would be nice . . . can't decide !

3. Do you regularly dust your blinds ? Nope !!

4. What do you like best about yourself ? That after many years of insecurity, I'm finally content in my own skin & in my own life !

5. Do you have a celebrity crush ? If so, who ? Wentworth Miller is still my #1 celebrity crush, with Alex O'Loughlin a close 2nd !!!

6. What is your favorite Bible verse ? 1 Thessalonians 4:11,12

7. Do you lie about your weight on your driver's license ? Nope.

8. What's your worst pet peeve ? I can only choose one ??!?!?!! See my #1 random thing !

9. Who is your favorite musician ? Over The Rhine

10. Do you return your grocery cart to the designated area ? Always !

11. What would your ideal day entail ? A day with my boys (Jack & the cats !), filled with knitting, reading, sweet eats . . . oh wait, that's our typical "lazy Sunday" !! I'm easy to please !



There . . . done & done !!!!

Day 6: From A Low Angle

I'm using a lot of these lately . . .



Between the dermatology treatment on my foot
that's left me blistered & walking funny . . .
and the meeting of my new Cutco knife with the tip of my thumb
that resulted in a trip to Urgent Care during the Super Bowl . . .

I clearly need to buy stock in Band-aids !!!!!


Good times !

Just For Kicks



Just for fun, I decided to try this 30-Day Photography Challenge . . .
and start today, the first day of a new month !!!


Day 1: Self-Portrait


Yup, this is me at 6 pm . . .
after my usual work day, and just home from a hair cut
(love the cut, hate the styling . . . so I wear my hat !)



Looks like a fun little list to wake up the creativity a bit . . .
we'll see if I can keep up !!!

Stay tuned !
