First roast of the year. Baking cookies. Our new shower curtain. I’m feeling pretty domestic lately. I’ve joined Popinjay, a weekly concept photo challenge. The challenge two weeks ago (give me a break) was domestic. The week before was selfless and this week is caged. Join us why don’tchu? I’ll catch up. P.S. Do you have any recipe recommendations for green beans? I canned a whole lot of ‘em (in jars) and honestly, I’m a lil’ green bean challenged.

In Memory Of Me (it’s not what you think)

August 27, 2010 · Defining Me · 3 comments

Edited to add: Please do not be alarmed by this post! With the increase in online tragedies, I do not want this post to be taken the wrong way! There are times when I lay thinking about life and…death. Usually past my bedtime. My heart drops down to the pit of my stomach; I gasp for air. My head spins although my eyes are closed. I open them, and I snap out of it. I’m constantly thinking what can I do to ensure that my obituary is interesting? Is that selfish of me? I want to live a fulfilling life; ...

Free

I’m in a place in my life where I am really feeling FREE. Free of adolescence, expectations, grades, the constant need to make others proud. I’m free of stress. I’m free of worry. I’m free to do what I want any old time… I’m participating in Popinjay, a weekly concept photo challenge. This week’s challenge was FREE. Next week’s challenge is CLUELESS. Join us.

BOLD

The is a photo I took (and cropped) of a painting by Justin Vining. It hangs in the Uptown Café in Valparaiso, IN. It is the first thing that I noticed when I stepped foot in the café for the first time. The colors are simply amazing. I’m participating in Popinjay, a weekly concept photo challenge. This week’s challenge was BOLD. Next week’s challenge is FREE. Join us. Sidenote: Popinjay is a trending topic on Google. I wonder why?

My Spreadsheets Kick ___

Well hello there, It seems that lately I’ve been coming around only for Popinjay, right? If I don’t get anything else posted, I make sure I do them, even if they are late. To break the pattern, I decided to post a few posts (below) before posting my habitually late Popinjay. This week’s challenge was DORKY. Next week’s challenge is GUILTY. Join us. Here are my dorky submissions. I couldn’t just pick one. Yes, I still have floppy disks and stuffed animals. I’m working on scheduling reviews and giveaways so that they don’t come flowing in at once. Let’s pretend ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

Popinjay: Toolbox of Hope

toolbox of hope

My laptop is very dear to me. I call it my toolbox. Since it’s from the Toughbook series, it is built to withstand drops, spills, and other toddler mistreatment. It also has a cool handle for easy grabbing. Inside, it holds everything that allows me to work from home. Everything I need to edit photos, design graphics and sites, set up auctions, write, and network with companies. With the current economy, the start of a new year, and me leaving the blog that was our main source of income, things have started to slow down. It is my hope that ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →
