My brother doing a rocking "senior photo" pose for me....in a restaurant.

Guess which restaurant for brownie points!

Mongoes (also known as Mung beans) was on the menu for dinner last night.

I have ALWAYS hated these....and I am not sure why. My mother had a rule to deal with hate foods. You got one hate-food, and when it was served you had to eat two bites of it, and that was all. My two older siblings picked squash and sayote (also known as chayote), but I hated mongoes!!

It is interesting to note that both these items were veggies....

My mom and I were out shopping all day. On the way home I decided we should use the Arbys coupon that ran out in a couple days. Got a whole Mint-chocolate shake for 1 cent!!!!
I completely <3 Arbys!!

Fun puzzle that everyone in the family (except me...) is working on

December 25:

I am such a klutz!!! My family usually wakes up early on December 25th, and we go singing Carols at local Hospitals for people who were not able to make it home for the holidays. However, this year, as my mom was calling around and trying to arrange things....every single hospital in the area said that no one under 18 was allowed in the hospital to visit. Why? The H1N1 supposed danger. Whatever.
SO, my mom called rescue missions, and other places, until we received positive feedback from New Life For Girls, which is around the corner and down a couple miles from us.
On our way out (to go away) I saw the most lovely picture. A foot of snow at the bottom of some still-green and slender and graceful bamboo that was growing along the edge of the road. I nearly screamed when I realized that I HAD NOT BROUGHT THE CAMERA!!!!
That is a cell-camera picture, which is not only miserable but miniscule as well. It is up here as punishment. I have sinned!
And this is the picture-of-the-day.
:) hope you like it!

Sum total of my day:

Yes, today's picture-of-the-day is what I spent the entire day doing:
Cookies and Applesauce. (that excludes all the dishes..)

A Picture A Day....or more

Today, I resolved to use the camera at least once every day....for a year.

Yes, that is right, for one year. I do not promise to blog every day of the year, but I will post-post (lol) the pictures to their taken-date. I will probably update my Facebook page sooner than the blog. It is quicker, really it is! More on that below.

#1: my great stuff!
Item 1: A pair of crocheted "car" gloves. Yes, they are going in the car so that I can keep my hands functioning while the car gets warm.
Item 2: a 23-in-1 Memory Card reader. 4 slots to read (every?) SD and Memory card out there. Around 3 inches long and a DARLING shade of blue... (Guess how much it cost me!! Maybe you'll win a prize!?)
#2: Some great photos:Of a darling little boy with new gloves and hat...
And #3: The Picture-of-the-dayIf you would like semi-constant updates on cameras and life, you could "Fan" me on Facebook!
