Favorite Pictures

I am absolutely in love with photography! These are some of my favorite pics that I have taken!

Sis

My youngest sister came to visit over my birthday! It was a lot of fun and a good break from all of the stress I had going on. She has all the funny pics on her camera so I will have to post those later!

My summer...

Summer has come and gone....I know but here is what mine looked like! I was a nanny for Ad and Em during the summer and we spent a lot of time in the pool! Not that I minded. The most hilarious thing that they come up with was stuffing water balloons in their swimsuits! I thought I was going to die laughing! It was sooooo funny! You can tell by the pics the fun that they had!

Over the past 6 months...

Over the past few months a lot has been going on. For whatever reasons me trying to post pictures has been difficult! So here is the update. I have celebrated birthdays, had a random cat visit my house which my dog found humorous, and walked with my friend Janice in the Susan B. Komen walk for a cure! Janice has been battling StageIV cancer for about 8 months now and was able to make it for the walk! It was fun "racing" her and the other participants who were also in wheelchairs!

Morning Wake Up Call!

So, I don't like creepy, crawly, slithering critters. If I had a choice I would choose crawling ones but none of them work for me. But being suddenly awakened by a roach on my kitchen counter woke me up faster than a double espresso from Starbucks. I am not a morning person at all. I am lucky to grunt and groan my way through my morning routine so to have it interrupted was not anticipated! I was minding my own business as I got breakfast ready when I disturbed the sleeping varmint. I don't scream easily but I screamed this time and my dog came running to see what was up. So here I am jumping like a little Mexican Jumping Bean around my kitchen trying quickly decide what I was going to do next. Armed with Lysol and Pledge (sorry it was the only chemicals that I could aim at the little bugger...I don't invite the pests in so I don't keep a supply of Raid on hand!)...I took action trying to just stun it enough so I could pick it up and get rid of it. Laugh if you will but the whole time I had to keep telling myself.."Be Brave...You can do it...I am brave..I am brave!" The little maggot crawled all over the counter and then into a box that I have there. That was the ultimate. Now I couldn't see it and that scared the crap out of me! I found him, scared him out of his hole where I was finally able to hose him down with some more Lysol and left him gasping for breath. The rest is history and he was flushed down the toilet! Then I looked at the clock and realized how much time I had wasted on the little bugger and scrambled to get out the door and to my 8am class on time! Since I was wide awake at this point it made it just a little easier!
