Yes, lots and lots of food. Tasty! IT was a good time, minus the constant chasing of the little monster!

Porkapalooza 2009
I ate so much this weekend that I think I might just be permanently full. Uggg! My brother Jeff threw his 3rd Annual Birthday BBQ (remember his 1st BBQ or 2nd BBQ? Last year during his bbq a deadly tornado touched down in Hugo, the city I live in). This year the feast was appropriately nickname...
I crave lattes at Starbucks and I used to indulge every day when I worked downtown. Soooo bad on the pocket book. Now I usually just stop on the way out to your parent's every wednesday. It's the only Starbucks close to me and "on the way" to where I'm going. I spend $3.74 once a week on this indulgence. Not bad considering I once did that 5 times a week! That is almost $20 on coffee! Ridiculous. Caribou is even more expensive, same drink is like 50 cents more! Sad.

TFT: Non-Alcoholic Beverage Treats
Whoa..... a TFT two weeks in a row! This week I wanted to talk about yummy alcohol-free drinks that we treat ourselves to on occasion. While I have blogged before about my caffeine-free lifestyle, I have to admit that something has changed since then. I have taken a liking to the hot chocolate...

Happy Birthday Baby Bro!
I wanted to give a quick shout-out to my baby brother Jeff who turns the big 2-8 today! There are a million great things I can say about Jeff (and a number of embarrassing stories from when he was a kid) but instead I will just share some cute photos of him when he was a little tyke. Here is whe...

I took a bunch of pics too! I was hoping to get the full arch too but that didn't happen. I've never seen a full rainbow like that and the kids loved it! I still have to post my pics!

I saw the most incredible rainbow in my backyard tonight after it rained! It was too close to capture the entire arch, but here are a couple parts of it.
Great job! You are on your way to using your manual settings! Cool pictures!

Day 86 ~ The Full Moon
I am so pleased with myself today! Wasn't it just yesterday that I declared I couldn't get a decent photo of the moon? Well all of that changed tonight! I played with the manual settings on my camera until I was able to get it right. I also took the photos of the moon at different times during...

This week is off to a fine start. I'm almost done with classes, and boy does it feel good. Once I finish up tomorrow, I'll be able to sit back, relax (ha!) and focus on some exciting photography projects that I have lined up. Before I post my entry, did you know that iHeartFaces has an awes...

I guess Snowball first made his internet debut in 2007, but I am just catching on to this now (thanks E!). Snowball is a sulphur-crested cockatoo who loves to dance to music...and keeps a beat! Check him out, it is so cute and funny! Snowball dancing to the Backstreet Boys Snowball dancing ...
They all look so great! I loved looking at them all. I am so disappointed in myself. I really wish I would have tried harder. I will have to try harder next time. Maybe I'll host one sometime. I couldn't disappoint myself, right?

I'm happy to hear that you are safe this year, but yes, it is always unfortunate to lose even a single teacher. This is our future we are talking about!

Today is a glum day around the school district I work in, especially at the school I teach at in the afternoon. Last Friday was the deadline for Principals to notify individuals whose positions were eliminated due to budget cuts and at least 11 teachers from our building were cut (including sev...
I talk to my mom every day, several times a day. I always have though. The same goes for my sister. I'm not sure if we were raised that way or what but I know my mom talks to her mom almost daily as well as her sister. I also talk to my grandma and aunt weekly. I've always thought you guys were weird cause you all never talk to each other. But, we are all diff!

TFT: How often do you talk to your mom?
So, I am curious. It seems like a lot of women I know talk to their mothers on the phone on a regular basis. I am totally NOT a phone person, so I am not exactly sure what "regular basis" means, but I guess I am thinking once per week? I also know several women who talk to their mom on the pho...

A Hippity Hoppity Easter
It was a pretty nice day on Easter this year (in fact we've had about 7-8 days straight of sunny weather!). Spent some time with the in-laws for a nice early dinner before heading over to my uncle's house later in the afternoon. It was nice to see some of my cousins I haven't seen in awhile (a...

Stopped by the Cathedral of St Paul this afternoon to get some photos for the Photo Hunt. The original photos were beautiful but these cross-processed ones really grabbed me. I can't decide which I like best. Any suggestions?
That's really pretty!

Day 57 ~ Stained Glass Butterfly
Cool! When you open up your shutter it lets more light in, so that is why it is lighter, you are overexposing the picture. I can help you figure it all out if you would like?
