2010 - A Day in the Life - Week 29

Sunday 
The kids have been participating in the summer reading program at our local library. 
For reading x number of hours they got a free kid's meal at Applebee's. 
They got a free dinner. 
T and I ordered their "perfect margaritas".

Monday

Love the lighting in this picture. 
Btw, I gave her this hair cut. 
Well, not the bangs, those still need a trim.

Tuesday

I pulled one of our 10 carrots we have growing in our garden. 
I wanted to see how big they were. 
I'm thinking I'm going to let the others go until October. 

Wednesday

Love the Nuun for during long runs. It's all electrolytes, so no sticky sweetness. 
The banana flavor? Scared me. 
But at the expo for the RnR in San Diego we tried it. 
It's more generic tropical-ish. No banana flavor.

Thursday

SmartyPants on the left. 
Sass on the right in the water.
Playing catch with the beach ball. 
Happily. 
For 20 minutes. 
I was reading on the beach. 
= slice of heaven.

Friday
 
My eclectic purchase from Wal-Mart. 

Saturday

T and I dressed for the annual White Trash Bash.
This year's theme? Luau. 
T won best hair. 
I won "best girl". 
(I had one person surprised when I took the wig off. She thought I just gel-ed the crap out of it. Another person, who I've met before, thought I was seriously pregnant. YIKES!
After the voting and awards, I "delivered". For the rest of the evening I was asked "boy or girl"
To which I responded, "I finally got my boy!")

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

Image
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
