today’s the day. Now I guess you could say that I’ve complained about my job before, but really I’ve only ever vented about the big corporation that I used to work for and how they didn’t seem to give a damn about those of us in the trenches actually, you know, DOING the work. So [...]

You Capture – Family
This week’s You Capture was family. I had grand plans. My cousin, Sarah, was going to be in town. We were going to do fun things…and then SmartyPants and Sass decided that fevers, sore throats, and feeling like dying was in the cards. But I didn’t let that stop me. We were going to do [...]

What I Learned This Week
I’ve been a little slacking in the blogging world this past week. Between 2 sick kids and my cousin visiting from Florida it just seemed like I didn’t have time to really sit down and write anything.

You can’t [...]

You Capture – Color
I absolutely loved this week’s challenge from Beth. Color was the theme. It is definitely spring here and I couldn’t wait to get out and take its picture.
This first picture I couldn’t wait to take. I have been seeing lilacs EVERYWHERE. So many different purples just exploding around town amidst all the new green leaves.
Then, [...]

Another week down
So they tell me we are already at week 7. Can you believe it? I am still in shock that I completed the 30-day shred in 31 days. I have to be honest, I am a little burned out. Proud, but burned out nonetheless. My eating last weekend was pretty bad. Traveler and I went [...]
