FitBloggin'11

I've been remiss in sharing this awesome news.  Remember that dream I had last week? You know the one about how I *didn't* get randomly chose for the free ticket to FitBloggin'11 in Baltimore?

Well Saturday the 30th was the date of the drawing.  I was having a nice relaxing evening with the family watching movies and becoming one with the cough.  I figured that whoever at The Sisterhood who was in charge of picking the winners was going to do it and post the winner at like midnight east coast time.  I don't know, because they're mean and want you to wait.

So in between movies I went to check my phone and low and behold I get *this* short and sweet email from Christy.


How come you aren't on Twitter, skank?


It looks like I *might* be headed to Baltimore in May! Woot! And squeee! And all that jazz.  I'm thrilled.  Now I just need to work my tail off extra hard (you know, 'cuz normally I'm a slacker and don't get anything done. ever) so I can afford the plane ticket to BWI.  And food.  And maybe enough for a drink or two.  Because I *know* there will be some booze...if I know my SAHs.

    What's this *might* talk. You will be there if I have to stuff you in MY suitcase! Cuz, to refuse a winning ticket AND the cash would just be rude. You don't want to be rude. IJS.

    Can't wait to hang with you again in Baltimore!

    I'll send you some cash If I have to missy. There is no "might" in this equation. You won a ticket with cash to Fitbloggin and you are going. Period!!

    The *might* was a bit sarcastic in nature. FYI. But yes, I will be working my tail off between now and then. But I'll take Lissa up on those drinks! As long as they aren't those crazy Irish car bomb things you and ChristieO had in SD. And a big effin' WOOT for seeing/meeting all the sisters that will be there.

You Capture - DOF

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

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
