Move your feet...

Tonight we had a few of our friends over for dinner. When I got up to clear a few plates, take a look at who sat down in my place...



Little Ma'am. Ofcourse I had to go and grab my camera quickly to snap I quick picture. Doesn't she just look enthralled in the conversation? The funniest part is each time I got up after that she would hop up in my seat. I guess the saying "Move your feet, lose your seat" holds true in our household.

Imperfection

So many different things ran thru my head when I saw this prompt on Ashley Sisk's list for her Scavenger Hunt Sunday list... Honestly, the first thing I did was start picking myself part. Am I brave enough to post a picture of my face without make up on? Maybe some other time. Should I take a picture of my crooked toes? I should really touch up my nail polish first. And then I walked into the kitchen and I passed the bowl with the fruit in it. My first inspiration was the bananas because they were going bad. But it really isn't their fault that they aren't in their best shape anymore. So I looked to the "cuties" or what most of the world calls a clementine. According to most people's definitions, a clementine is supposed to be small and round in a deep orange color. Well, my poor clementine was more squatty, oval with indentations. And the poor thing has green spots on it, which unfortunately are should up as black spots in this picture. Oh well, it is "imperfect."

But then again, if I ever came across the "perfect" anything in life I'd probably stick it in a museum because that is where a perfection belongs...

Wedding Shoes

I got married on the sandy Gulf of Mexico in Fort Myers, Florida, so shoes were no necessary. In fact, foot wear was optional for all guests :) I did however buy a pair of strappy heals to wear to diner afterwards. Like my wedding dress, my wedding shoes have not been wore since my wedding. Maybe I should put them on when I am cleaning my house? I have heard that it works that calves to clean in heals...

Field Trip to Trader Joe's

I love me some Trader Joe's. Not only does the store have some WONDERFUL food to eat - if you go you MUST try the mandarin orange chicken - but the store is full of such beautiful colors that each time I go in there, I think "gee, I wish I had my camera with me."

Well, since I am doing my Lent-A-Day Photo Challenge I was extra inspired to snap away.

Migraines....

I have had headaches non-stop for the past two weeks. On Sunday, it hit the peak and I was down for the count. I spent all day in bed with a cold compress on my forehead and I only got up to take pills. Hence, the picture of the day reflects exactly this.

Day at the SPCA

Miss A and I got to spend some time Saturday with her Girl Scout troop at the local SPCA. The girls got to learn a bit about the animals that come into the shelter and how to easily make pet toys from items we have around the house. We also learned that we can go back to the SPCA anytime we want to so can we can have cuddle time with the kittens and puppies.

I don't play guitar

If you ask me, I will never tell you that I play the guitar. I will tell you that I "mess
around" on the guitar.



I can't play a full song and I am a plucker, not a strummer.


I prefer to play on a classical guitar verses a regular guitar or an electric, although we do have all three at the house. (Side note: My husband tends to play on electric guitar the most with "Mr. Amp" which is a Fender Princeton 65 Amp).
