Tuesday's Top 10: Favorite Foods
Alrighty, here we go with another installment of Tuesday's Top 10. This week I will list my favorite foods. This is super hard for me because I love food so much, it is hard to narrow down just 10 (as it is with all my Top 10 lists!). lol. These are not in any particular order 1. Tacos 2. S...
I swear it blows my mind how the world works.
I noticed the other day that I had a few more than I remembered (I'm 27)... then I went out to dinner that night with my girls and brought it up. We are all the same age and we all have a few. I mentioned how I thought it was funny that some women HAVE to cover it and other embrace it FULLY! I planned to mention it somewheres in one of my blogs.
I've had one Gray hair my whole life; strange story - when I was born I had a Strawberry Birthmark on my head, I've always grown one Gray hair in that spot. At 27, with a few grays, I don't really care to cover them, ask me again in 10 years though. My hair is dark, so once I really start going Gray... I fear I won't know what to do with myself!
Great topic!
TFT: Getting Gray
I am going to assume for a minute that all the readers of this blog are adults, 21+. After making that assumption, can I also assume that most of you readers have experienced at least one gray hair so far in your lifetime?? If you haven't, well then lucky you. I think I was around age 23-24 w...
as always Kristi, nicely done! I love your contrast shot... it's true to the definition!
Thanks again for hostessing :) Can't wait for December already!

Thoughts for Thursday: Skinny Jeans on Guys
You want to know what I think about skinny jeans on guys??? FUUUUGGGGLLLLYYYY!!! GUYS!! Please, I beg you......... DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT WEAR SKINNY JEANS. Not even if your life depended on it!! I seriously don't get why they are fashionable. They are sooooo unflattering. They shrink the ...
Great Job Kristi.. way to get it done without your own camera! commitment!!
Photo Hunt Challenge #3 ~ My Results
Would you believe I accidentally dropped my camera in such a way that the darn thing is irreparable? That happened on August 2nd while on vacation in the mountains of Colorado. Talk about a major bummer, not to mention bad timing at the start of a new Photo Hunt Challenge! Anyway, I was able to...
lame...
so sorry to hear about this K... I couldn't imagine!
Like Humpty Dumpty......
The worst part about my trip to Colorado this summer was that I accidentally dropped my Canon G9 and broke it. Wahhhhhhhh! I instantly felt sick and it wasn't just from the 10,000 ft+ altitude! No performance plan on this baby :( My little brother thought he could maybe fix it, so within minut...
looks like you are having a great time down there!! way to get out and enjoy your home away from home - for the time being :)
Tour of Downtown Austin.......
On Saturday Betty and I took a long walk around downtown Austin. We saw so much and I took several pictures. Here are a some of the photos. Congress Street Bridge, home of 1.5 million bats Olives are just one of two foods I have an aversion to, but I thought this was cool A bridal party ...

As a wine connoisseur - I have to pick the bottle holder. There is a certain beauty in being able to display your bottles as you wish!

I absolutely love old towns... where is this?
Day 123 ~ Old Town Market
HAHA!!! that is a ROFLMAO moment! So glad you decided to share.
I havent played 4 square in years... actually looked up on youtube the other day how to play, cause I couldn't remember.
Aardvark!!
This is totally one of those "you had to be there stories", but I think it is still funny so I am going to post about it. The other day I was outside playing "4 square" with some of the neighborhood girls (ages 9-10). Do any of you remember playing that during recess as a kid??! Well anyway, w...
you should tell people to empty their bladders before watching these videos... cause I wish I would have...
TOO f'n funny Kritti!
Stop! Hammer Time
I may have mentioned before, but my little brother Jeff started a new blog last year called Funny Video Search. On his site he posts funny videos that he finds (or that people send to him), then he makes commentary about it. For one reason or another, Jeff finds stuff from the early 1990's the...
I once lost a game of trivia because the question was "What is the Minnesota State Bird?" and I wrote "Loon." The only acceptable answer was the 'official name', "Common Loon" - I was pissed. They do sound neat don't they?!
Day 110 ~ Common Loon
While boating on the lake my parents live on, a pair of loons came extremely close to us and I was able to get a pic of this fascinating bird. If you are unfamiliar with loons, the are Minnesota's State Bird and make very unique vocalizations (listen here). Too bad you can't see his glowing re...
I love this view. I need to get over there more... I am so in love with MPLS, I forget we are the TWIN Cities!
Day 109 ~ Downtown St Paul on the Mississippi River
I tried somewhat to see if I could get another photo of downtown St Paul while crossing over the Hwy 52 Bridge. Although it isn't as cool as the first photo I got from this perspective, I still think its pretty awesome.... I like how you can see more of the water.
Wow, what a great turn out... so far! This is going to be exciting!

I can't wait!!!
There are tons of things I'd like to see on a list, but I really like the ones that leaves it open to interpretation [like "something you love" or "something you don't like", etc.].
Oh boy... I can't wait!! You have no idea how excited I am to see this list!
Photo Hunt #2 details coming soon!
I am finalizing the list of items that I will post here on June 1st (just 5 days from now!) If you have any awesome ideas of things you'd like to see on the list, leave me a comment. I loved my last list so much that it might be hard to top but I am trying!
Awesome! simple, pretty, colorful... perfect - nice work :)
A New Scheme (Finally!)
I was long overdue for a new look around here.....
That is awesome beyond words!
Happy Anniversary :)
36 Years Ago.....
I wanted to quickly say Happy Anniversary to my parents who celebrated 36 years of marriage today. I don't think they read this blog but I wanted to recognize this special date anyway :) Here are my parents on their wedding day (5-19-73) Mom and Dad, I love you! Thanks for always loving a...

This is going to take up a good deal of your time lady... are you sure you wanna do it?!
Update on Photo Hunt
Thank you to everyone who left feedback about the Photo Hunt. I still have a lot to think about for the next one that I will be hosting in June, but I think for now I am going to choose several (like maybe 5-10) of the categories on the Sweetsauer Photo Hunt #1 list, go through all of the entri...
lol, i took some pics of the same rainbow... only mine are from super far away and look like crap. I'll be posting them eventually. Great shots you got!!!
Day 85 ~ Somewhere Over the Rainbow
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.
I ended up at Estabans in Anoka last night... I had the margarita(s) for you lady!!
Unintentionally, I've had myself a lot of Mexican the past 4 days - Tacos on Saturday, Mexican restaurants on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday... doesn't get much better than free chips and salsa while you drink! :)
Cinco de Mayo.....
Did you all have a nice Cinco de Mayo? I don't even think it matters if you're Mexican or not! Any excuse to eat Mexican food sounds like a great idea to me! I themed this week "Mexican Food Week" in honor of Cinco de Mayo, traveling around St Paul trying different Mexican food places to revie...
I'm really glad you posted this Kristi... after now doing 2 of them I do have some thoughts... obviously who ever hosts the PSH can do what they want and by no means do I want to tell you how to do anything... BUT
is there an option for voting of like a 1-10 type thing? Meaning, I want to vote for each person based on their pics, so if I think Joe blow has great shots, but Mary Smith has better ones I can vote Joe a 8 or 9 and give Mary a 9 or 10. That seems a bit more fair than a popularity contest... because I do believe that's all it is. Which is fine... because I'm not doing these to win anything... it's for my own photography skill and interest.
I think 26 items in a months time is perfect... part of me wonders if, being that you have a month, people should be able to 'enter' if they don't complete the list... doesn't seem fair to have someone win based on votes/popularity if they only got half the list.
I think it would be great to have all shots for one topic in one place, but it seems like a lot of work. On top of that it would restrict people to finding certain things at a certain time; for example, I have a list of 26 thing and I have never started at #1. In a way it makes it more challenging but I think it takes away from the scavenger hunt aspect of it.... I like having a month to find 26 things as I want. Does that make sense?
I'll put some more thought into it... it seems like it would be hard to do in one place.
Anyhow - this is just my 2 cents, for what it's worth. I really appreciate you asking for feedback on this, I think it's a great thing!
Thoughts & Feedback about the Photo Hunt.....
I first want to say I am really pleased with the turnout on the Photo Hunt... 27 participants (although there were several more who signed up and never finished). It seems like people had a wonderful time with the challenge and would like to do more. I am already planning Sweetsauer Photo Hunt...
