Slacker

I obviously haven't been around here much in the last week.  I've been nursing my ankle back to health after my run last Sunday.  I've been busy finalizing activities that ended last week.  I've also been working more and trying to break even.  That damn bank account never seems to have enough cash in it.  Can someone help me out with that? No? Okay, fine.  So I'm going for random.

  • I woke up to a screaming 4yo being taunted by the 7yo.  Yelled at children including "dammit" before my eyes were barely open. 
  • Mother's Day did get better.  Coffee was made, church was pleasant with all kids, visited grandparents, drank more coffee.  Got homemade presents and cards.  
  • My ankle feels 100% better today.  Can't wait until I run tomorrow. I've missed it!! 
  • The half marathon in San Diego is in 4 weeks!! Can.not.wait to see those I've met and meet those sisters I haven't yet met.  So excited.  Although the weekend is going to go by WAY too fast. I just know it. 
  • The weather is still weird here.  The high mountains are supposed to get snow.  It's only in the 50s today, but I'm not complaining. I'll take 50 over 90 any day of the week.  And I'm sure in 2 weeks we will be hitting high 80s.  I'd like to postpone that.  
  • I've been slacking on the daily pictures.  I'm pretty sure I missed yesterday, but I'll have my almost-complete weekly picture post up later tonight.  
  • I have an awesome picture for Melissa.  I almost want to go out tonight and take it, because it makes me laugh every single time - well it's only funny because of what's in my head...and being inside my head is a little bit of an odd experience sometimes.  
So really not much has been going on lately, maybe that's why I haven't been here.  I'm not feeling very blog-chatty.  Twitter chatty and email chatty are different, though - sometimes.

You Capture - DOF

Image
I loved this challenge.  I've been striving to find "the" depth of field picture that just speaks to me.  Luckily I had lots of opportunity this past weekend to find the pictures I wanted to.  On Saturday I boarded a bus to California's Amador County wine country and visited 4 different wineries with a friend. These were so bright and beautiful and simple. The colors!! Perfection! I took about 20 pictures of this door trying to get this perspective.  I love this one.  This was another one that was may favorite of about 20.   I think it's the burst of orange.   I can't wait to see all the beautiful pictures everyone else is going to post over at Beth's.

You Capture - Best Shot

Image
I suppose after two weeks of getting assignments and pictures that I *really* liked, it was time for me to struggle.  I wasn't taking any pictures that just spoke  to me.  But then again, it took me a long time to start taking pictures that I really liked. But I do have a couple that I think were my best for the week.  Hey, I've got an idea! Let me share them with you! This was taken on a hike the two older girls and I took last week.   And then we had our first harvest. One lone strawberry.  There are many more growing.  We are trying to keep the birds from nibbling on them before we get a chance to pick them.  Check out what other's thought was their best shot over at Beth's.

You Capture - Faces

Beth? Are you out there?  Because I loved this challenge.so.much.   I think I captured a lot of love here too.  Oh, how I love her sweet face! And check out the eyelashes!! I thought only boys had eyelashes like that! (Do you like the bedhead too?) He is one of my most favorite people!  This is my honey, my rock, my money-maker, the love of my life! (Yes, sappy. But after more than 15 years together I still like him!) This is the other "man" in my life.  This is Bear.   He is sweet and stubborn and very jealous when it comes to sharing me with T.   This is "my" girl (the middle child).  She is the only one who looks enough like me for it to be obvious that she's my kid. She is so sweet and full of generosity and love.  Did you see the letter she wrote me the other day? No?  Go here and see.   And last, but certainly not least.  Me.  A sweaty mess after running 5+ miles wearing my awesome Team In Training training T-shirt.  This is the face a happy runner.   (F
