On the Drive Home

Yay!  I made it!  I did an entry everyday in November, though I admit some were lame lol.  But I reached my goal!  Usually I start those kind of things and stop after a week or so.

I took these pictures when we were driving home Thanksgiving (well as Tony was driving)  I particularly love this first one :c)

Hey It's Ok Tuesday!

I'm linking up with Amber at Airing my Dirty Laundry, One Sock at a Time. 

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. They have a section called Hey, It’s Okay and will list a bunch of things to be okay about. You're welcome to join in and do something like this on your blog. Doesn't have to be on a Tuesday either. 

Hey it's ok....

-To post two blog entries in one day :c)

-To post pictures of fruit [see previous entry]

-To love books and want everyone to vote for their favorite [if listed] at:

2011 Goodreads Choice Awards: Favorite Book of 2011 Vote now for your favorite books!

-To be glad November is almost over so that NoJoMo and the 30 Days of Thankfulness [on Facebook] is over.  I'm glad I've made it through each and such but there were some days I didn't feel like it. lol.  Normally I give up after a week or so, so this was nice :c)

-To change the look of your blog.  I liked the black and what I did, but browsing through more and more blogs the ones I like visiting are lighter and just feel more fun, because the black was starting to feel a little depressing. lol.  So please bear with me as I find myself in this blogging world; though I did change my OD often also.  Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome :c)

-To be excited, but nervous about the new thing Kim and I are going to be doing in addition to N3RDc@st.  Details coming very soon :c)

-To notice that you :c) an awfully lot.  and lol.  Sorry! heh ..[I was about to type another :c) there but stopped myself lol]

-To listen to songs from back in the day.  Someone posted on Facebook that they were jamming to Spice Girls so I've been taking a trip back to memory lane with S Club 7, All Saints, Bewitched, Aqua, etc. I kept clicking "You may also like" on iTunes finding more groups I used to like.

-To then feel old when you think that if a baby was born when you used to listen to those songs they are now a teenager.  A TEENager!  Oy vey!

-To not know why I went Yiddish there, but it conveys the message.  I think it's from the Hallmark movie we watched this weekend.  Loved the movies, but one of my favorite scenes was when the Rabbi was in the hospital.  [Let me back up- It was based on a true story from Mitch Albom (Tuesdays with Morrie).  his Rabbi asked him to do his Eulogy for him; even though he was not dieing yet.  So Mitch would visit often so that he would know what to talk about when the time came.  He ends up being inspired to help others and finds a church running a homeless shelter with a roof in the ceiling and comes to know the Pastor)  Anyways, the Rabbi ended up in the hospital and Mitch was there visiting.  The nurse came in and asked if he was family because it was only family visiting time.  The Rabbi then said don't you know he's my (random Yiddish sounding words)   And the nurse was like "Umm,ok"  When the nurse left Mitch asked what that was and the Rabbi said "Who knows?"  It was cute.

Fruit

Statues and Such

Bokeh! [More Random Nature]

Orange you glad I'm posting an entry?

[non]Traditional Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  We went out to eat with my mom, grandpa, aunt and cousin at a restaurant.  It was nice.  Then we went to my grandpa's to hang out for a bit.


I thought a praying angel was fitting for pictures for Thanksgiving :c)

Wordless Wednesday

Hey It's OK, Tuesday.

Idea borrowed from Amber which is borrowed from Glamour Magazine.


- To not feel like it's Thanksgiving in a couple of days.  For one it seems like it's come up too soon, but on the other hand there's so much more Christmas stuff even earlier this year it feels like Thanksgiving was already passed.   We're almost to 2012 people! :c)


- To think there is a lot of talent on the X Factor show this season, interesting to see what they find next season.

Breaking Dawn Midnight Premiere!

I'm double posting the entry I posted on our N3RDc@st blog...videos from when we attended the midnight premiere of Breaking Dawn last week.  Below are two videos.  The first is a non-spoiler/guess the characters video.  The other is a longer video with where we thought the movie would end and our reactions after the movie. :c)

Pictures from the Midnight Premiere

N3rdcast shirts :c)

For the midnight premiere Kim and I made shirts to promote our N3RDcast podcast.  :c)

I don't know why I promised a better entry for today, I'm like a zombie!  LoL.  Yesterday was so packed full of fun!  Didn't get to bed until 3am and up at 7am to get to work...feeling it now!  LoL.


So I'll leave you with a picture! :c)

This was when we were waiting on the midnight premiere for Breaking Dawn.  I was the vampire and she was the shapeshifter coming in for the kill ... LoL

Good night!  I'm trying to make sure I do the entry each day thing; hopefully tomorrow's will be more interesting! 






why, yes, I did photoshop my eyes!  hehe...they're golden so I'm a vegevamp! lmbo

Busy Day

Today is going to be a BUSY day!  First work, then work bowling event, then midnight premiere of Breaking Dawn.  So, better entry tomorrow :c)

Hey It's ok Wednesday

Hey, it's ok to not realize it was hey it's ok Tuesday until after writing an entry....again.  So here I am on Wednesday again lol.

To be too tired to think of anything else. :c)

Challenge Yourself

A couple weeks ago after work I stopped by the Goodwill on the way home.  I figured I would give myself a challenge.  I looked at their little knick knacks because I was going to get one and photograph it.  That's when I thought it would be a $0.25-$1.00.  the cheapest one was a tiny thing for $2.99; so I determined I'd be able to get something cheaper at the Dollar Tree/Wal-mart.  So in Wal-Mart I got an apple and banana with a piece of $0.20 felt, and a white poster board.  Below is what I came out with.  I think for a mini-self challenge it was pretty fun and I got some nice shots of fruit :c)

Now I want a nice yummy apple :c)



This and the one above (the color version of the same picture) are my favorites



I messed around with editing styles on this one :c)
