Day 25

Yeah so I've missed two days.....no big deal I guess....I've been sick. I've had this cold now for about a week but these last few days have been really bad. I'm actually feeling better today.

Anyways....still on theme, WORDS.

This word is something I am looking forward to....all they have left to do is some touch ups and add all the appliances, I'm predicting a mid to late Feburary closing. Let's hope!

Day 22

Words.....today are words a seven year old must read. My son has a daily reading assignment everyday. Usually it consists of two books to read with me or to me and then I have to sign off on the paper to acknowledge that he did in fact do it. So tonight.....his words were my inspiration.

Day 21

So words.....well what better word...or words then the name of my most favorite drink in the whole wide world...Wild Cherry Pepsi.

I (heart) Wild Cherry Pepsi, just about as much as I love FROGS!

Day 20

OMG....YEP I MISSED A DANG DAY.....why? Ummm let's see...I spent the day with my honey.

Oh well....I have been doing good, it's okay to take a day off. BUT I am back on track today and on theme.

This is a photo of a word plaque that I have hanging along my stairs, it's one of four and they together have similar meanings but today I figured I'd start with the one I like the most. Something I hope to really achieve one day in my really hectic life.

Day 18

So I pulled up an old pic of me and my boyfriend (since he avoids me and I have no cute current pics) and just played around with it. I lightened the photo, mixed the background around to take away the distraction, cropped in some, smoothed my skin a little (it looked bad), added a warming filter and then made the photo kinda grainy (is that a word) and then added the vignette.

What do you think? I'll tell you what I think - not sure if I like the background, but I kinda "saved the photo" in other ways, by the way......this was taken with a point and shoot in my old suv with no flash, not with my dslr.

Day 17

So today was just an easy play...just played with the colors and cropped the photos. These pictures are of my two puppies, yes they are only 1 yr old. My boy Kaos (one on the left) is 80lbs and my girl Solae (one on the right) is 74lbs. They are BIG puppies. And yes they are pitbull, blue pitbulls actually. I'm advocate for pitbulls, they really do get a bad rap, but hey I won't get into that here, I'm sure there are some that do not agree.

Day 16

So I almost didn't post today....today was a bad day....I found out they are closing my department at the large bank I work for, well actually they are moving it to New York. I'm in Houston and moving to NY just is not an option for me. I have until I think April but the details are sketchy so I'm not real sure what is going to happen. I so upset 2007 was a bad year for me and I really thought 2008 would be better. The worst part is I'm in the middle of my house being built, actually it's almost done, so hopefully I can find a job soon.

I really wanted to post, this is actually something I look forward to doing and I am really trying to learn as much as I can and PLAY as much as I can....LOL!

So please take a look and see what you think and CC is always welcome and appreciated!

Thanks!
