Most teachers think that by cutting class, I might improve my grades.

Day 06 - A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day

I have had a very hard time with this one.

I can't immediately think of a person I'd love to trade places with for a day.

My dog? Absolutely.
There's nothing more appealing than sleeping.all.day.

At the moment, I'd like to trade places with someone who does not have allergies.

I guess if it would be anyone, I would pick someone from the Glee cast. They just look like they have fun.

And Britney? She's the funnest of them all. Hands down!

Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory

I don't even know where to start on this one.
Well, I do know where to start.
By plugging my external hard drive in and searching pictures.

Searching for a memory. (Right now, I just can't scan a picture. But I may incorporate one into the scrapbook I keep kidding myself about making out of this project.)

Here it is.
Guatemala 2008

 

This trip was where I stood atop a water slide in the mountains while the lightning flashed around me and the thunder rolled in the distance. I climbed a volcano and fell down once I got to the top. I went to the market place, and held babies all day long. I went to a third-world hospital and saw what it was like in a country with socialized medicine. I stared into the stars from a bus while Phil Wickham's Cannons played through my iPod. I came closer to finding out who I was in Guatemala in 2008. Much closer.

And if you're partial to the night skies...

Day Four- A picture of your night.

I could go several different directions with this picture.
I could take a picture of the laptop on my lap, with my bare feet poking out behind it.
I could take a picture of my dinner on my coffee table.
I could take a picture of my toothbrush, night time meds (I love you melatonin!), and face wipes. But I won't. 
I could take a picture of Daisy asleep on the pillow by my side (but that could be any time of day.)

Instead, I went to the favorite part of my night: right before bed:

Every night, I try to get to bed by 9, to get maximum relaxation time. I play a little iTouch (Angry Birds), and then read my Kindle to really relax.

And you feel free to ooh and aah over that there pillow. It's sooooooo soft, and The Aunt made it for me. Lay my head down at night on a soft puppy's-fur soft pillow? Yes, I think I will.

Look at my arms flailing. I'm like a flamingo on Ritalin.

Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show

This is my favorite show! It's one of two shows that I watch repeats of whenever I get the chance. I laugh every time, and send texts with the quotes to The Aunt. I get so excited when I can say Bazinga and someone else understands me!

Here are second and third runners up, while I am on the subject:

Day Two

Picture Challenge Day Two

For the entire list of challenges, see here.

Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest.
That's easy - peasy.

It's me and The Aunt. She's the person that's been there and back with me. She knows my secrets. She knows why I'm the way that I am, good and bad. She's there to back me up when I need it, and if I ever need to hide a body, well... I'd go to the BFF for that, but I tell her about it and she wouldn't judge.

(I was going to put a better picture of me up- you know, one where I don't have eight chins- but I couldn't find one right away, and I just wasn't in the mood to look.)

Thirty Day Challenge- Day One

So, I've been absent from this little place for roughly two months, and at one point last week, I was just going to delete the whole thing. And I still might.

To get my creative juices flowing again, and mainly because I want to document this, but not on my main blog, I'm doing a little thirty day challenge, involving pictures. It looks fun, and I'll probably scrapbook it, since I can apparently only scrapbook if I have a project for it. 

Oh, and I decided to start this today, because it's 30 days before my birthday.
And then last night, I did the math, and discovered that my birthday is in 29 days.
Ah, February.
And that means I'm a day behind.
It shouldn't be any other way.

Without further ado, here's day one:

Day 01 - A picture of yourself with ten facts

1. I've been to two painting classes, and I am not only addicted, but think I'm an actual painter.
2. I'm totally digging the banjo sound right now.
3. I'm on the fence about whether I should get an iPhone.
4. I never sit at my dining room table to eat. I'm always at the coffee table, and I hate it, but I still never go to the table.
5. For two days straight now, I've taken about 3 hour naps. I feel lazy, but I think I've needed it.
6. I am three weeks behind on my yearbook deadline. THREE WEEKS!
7. I don't really care that I'm three weeks behind, and no one else seems to either.
8. I have tomorrow off from work which leaves me exactly NO sense of urgency to do ANYTHING.
9. It's a smidge of a challenge to put this list together today for some reason.
10. I need to get up and get ready to go to the movies now.

Here is the list for the challenge:

Day 01 - A picture of yourself with ten facts

December Second

Before:

 

You may  notice that it looks an awful lot like the first. 

I didn't have anything planned on the second day of December, so I was going to just put my Christmas CD in there, but then the BFF called me up and said "hey! Let's go watch the longest parade ever" and so I went. We didn't know it would be the longest parade ever at the time, but we went and found that out the hard way. 

After:

 

The picture in the bottom left is my favorite ever. As usual I hate the journaling. 

I'm loving the credit card sized photos I'm printing. Long story, maybe for another post...
