Day 29: Animal

My favorite animal, Rocky. What a lazy bum.

Day 28: Surprise

Should we have been surprised when we were the only people at the 1:30 showing of Paranorman 3D?

Day 26: Light

The perfect cup o' joe. A dash of Splenda and my new creamer- Caramel Macchiato. It's sugar free, so only 15 cals per tablespoon!

Day 25: Broken

Found this little gem in a shoebox in my garage yesterday. It's a picture of me riding my horse, Sugar, in a horse show when I was around 17 years old. Like most horse people, we sold Sugar when I went to college because I wasn't able to ride her much. I found out a few years later that she ended up being put down due to an injury. I was so heartbroken when I found out. I always has plans to find her and buy her back one day when my circumstances would allow me to.

I still think about her often and have lots of pictures if her. Rest in peace my Sugar Bear :)

Day 24: Numbers

So I've been thinking of a color to paint my guest bathroom for weeks now. I want a darkish (but not too dark) tan (maybe with a hint of gray) color so I can put some colorful accents in there. Is it the paint companies' goal to make this process as difficult as possible?? I mean, is there a big office building somewhere where paint company execs are sitting around in their suits and sipping on Smart Water while having a good laugh over the frustration of their consumers?!

Look how many paint swatches I have here. I have been holding them up to my wall for weeks now trying to decide on the perfect not-too-dark-tan-with-possibly-a-grayish-hue. I finally FINALLY chose one, bought a gallon, and excitedly started painting at 11:00pm. I was too anxious to wait until the next day. I painted a big patch on my wall only to step back and decide that I hate it. It's all wrong. I don't see any tan in the color, and in fact, it actually looks purple. Ugh! Plus it's too light too. So I guess another trip to the hardware store is in my cards for today. Well played, paint execs. Well played.

Day 23: Alphabet

It seems like only yesterday that my precious lovable nephew, Jared, entered the world. The past 5 years have flown by and it is so fun to see him grow and learn every day.  I can't believe that in three days he will be starting kindergarten! At this rate, he'll be in high school by next week! LOL. That's how it feels though since time seems to be passing by quicker these days. Here are some of my favorite pics of Jared throughout his first five years.

 

Happy Birthday Jared!! One year old.

 

 

Silly face for Halloween. Isn't this the cutest little dragon you've ever seen?

 

 

Playing with new toys on Christmas morning! Funny how when there is a child in the family, all of the sudden all the excitement for Christmas is centered around seeing the happiness on the child's face when they get to experience all the fun of the season.

 

 

He looks like a grown up in a little boy's body in this photo shoot. What a little darling.

 

 

In this most recent picture, he is performing some much needed maintenance work on his tractor. I hear that is the key to making them last ;)
