Lost

My voice.  I've never lost it before.  I'm not sure if it has to do with the beginnings of whatever crazy sinus thing I have going on mixed with my 3+ hours out in the cool air running Friday night, but my sinuses have mostly cleared, but I sound like I've got a 3-pack-a-day smoking habits.  It's sexy.  No really.

But I'm glad that I've been gone during feeling this way.  Because only having to focus on me and my stuff when I'm not feeling 100% is so much easier than playing, mom/teacher/chauffeur/employee.

Which will all start back first thing Wednesday morning after not enough sleep tomorrow night.  My flight doesn't get in until 10:45 and then there's the 45-minute drive home.  Ugh.  I'm tired thinking about it.

But then I get to sleep in my own bed and wake up to having an 8yo.  And then plan the subsequent party on Saturday.

So with that, I'm off to bed.

    Ugh, sorry about your voice. Drink tons of water and try not to talk too much. Sucking on hard candies (not cough drops-they are drying) can help too. Have a safe trip home and enjoy your own bed.

    ugh! My voice is also gone, I think it's allergy related. Just as sexy. I alternate between annoying hoarse voice and whispering. Need to resolve it! Good luck! Hope you're enjoying your trip.

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
