31 days of fun

The other day Asia kept texting me from work, giving me ideas for my FUN experiment... and one of his texts said "What about photography? You think that's fun..."

And I had to pause... "Oh yeah. Photography." I thought to myself.

I texted him back "I don't think I've taken a picture all summer long..."

So this weekend I got the camera out... we were in Leavenworth with our dear friends David and Brynn, spending one last extended chunk of time with them before they move to Northern Ireland...

We took a walk together and I asked David first of all to take some pictures of our family... it's been ages since we had some good ones taken.


Then I got the camera back and took a few shots while we were talking on the deck...

My fifteen year old boy/man...

My soul mate/partner/best friend/love.

And then when we got home and I was puttering in the back yard I decided to take some shots of my cherry tomatoes (yellow ones this year!)
I like taking pictures.
It's fun.

    I saved my pennies, worked two jobs for a few months and finally treated myself to a new Nikon. I have been totally in love all summer. Taking pictures mostly of my kids and flowers, and the kids tease me about taking pictures of my flowers. And my dying garden...and... tteeheee.....I am slowly discovering part of dealing with the kids growing away from me, is teaching myself to make my own fun again. Things I used to enjoy before my life was consumed by diapers and other people's needs. :) The process is not an easy one though. What is next on your fun list!?

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

Look at this!

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched. It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.
