The ABC's of me

Okay, fine.  I'm jumping on the bandwagon.  I waited for a while before I jumped on the accent vlog one and I finally caved.  So without further ado.

Age: 34
Bed Size: Queen
Chore you hate:  Putting away laundry or cleaning the bathrooms.
Dogs:  For the first time in my life I don't have a dog.  I miss having a dog, but they're a lot of work.  
Essential start of your day:  Coffee
Favorite Color:  Purple
Gold or silver:  Silver
Height: 5'4"
Instruments I play (or have played): Piano
Job Title: Aside from "mom" I am a medical transcriptionist
Kids: Three girls, 10, 8, and 5.
Live: Northern Nevada
Mom's Name: Maxine
Nickname:  Does "Mean Mommy" count?
Overnight hospital stays: None.
Pet Peeve:  Can it be a peeve in response to a peeve? It annoys the snot out of me when T bugs me about the messy state of my truck.  
Quote from a movie: "My fingers hurt." "Well, now you're back's gonna hurt because you just pulled landscaping duty!" Happy Gilmore.
Right or left handed:  Right
Siblings: One older brother, Eric.
Time you wake up:  Depends on where I have to be or what's going on. Usually between 7:30 and 8.
Underwear: Bikinis
Vegetables you dislike: Cucumbers, bell peppers, beets, okra, 
What makes you run late: My family.
X-rays you've had done: Aside from the usual dental x-rays, I've had cervical spine films (one to show the straight pin stuck in my throat), and lower leg films.
Yummy food you make: I make a mean enchilada and green chile stew.
Zoo animal:  Love the big cats - lions, tigers, snow leopards.  Wish they could curl up on the end of my bed on a cold winter night.

    I think it's cool that you've never stayed overnight in the hospital... :)

    The stew sounds awesome. I'd love the recipe. I also think it's cool that you've had three kids and never stayed overnight in a hospital.

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
