My Weakness

2009-01-31T21:02:00.001-08:00

I LOVE this new Mt. Dew!!! It’s my coffee…*sigh* and my weakness…

Caught up!

2009-01-30T23:33:00.001-08:00

I am all caught up with my pictures…tomorrow I’ll scrap this random bunch from this week.

Most were taken tonight! LOL I just walked around looking for random things.

Long week…

Air Fanna!!

2009-01-30T23:31:00.000-08:00

A little blurry and kinda dark…but, this is Alex (aka Fanna) jumping up to catch a hair tie…I had my husband throw it in the air while I used the action function on the camera.

It could have come out better, but it’s ok for the first try!

Snowman!

2009-01-29T23:28:00.000-08:00

This snowman has been on our door throughout the Christmas holiday season and all of January. On the 1st of February I have something Valentiney to put up…maybe the snowman will return after V-day!

Dopey & Goofy

2009-01-28T23:26:00.000-08:00

Stitch too! LOL

Pear Paperweight

2009-01-27T23:01:00.000-08:00

One of my many pears…surrounded by snowglobes – another something I collect.

Spooning in a Box

2009-01-26T10:58:00.000-08:00

Look who I caught sleeping together in a box!!! Razzle and Beans!

Wrestler Autograph

2009-01-25T22:53:00.000-08:00

My husband went to meet the WWE and RAW wrestlers at the airport and at their hotel while they were in town for a pay per view event…I think anyways. I don’t know for sure…I’m not into all that, it’s his thing. Anyway, he brought my P&S camera and the object was to post a picture HE took for today…but he didn’t take any…so this picture of an autograph will have to do!

Vintage Mustard & Ketchup

2009-01-24T22:00:00.001-08:00

Today I have two pictures to share. I’ll probably put them into one picture when I scrap them.

These were at my sister’s house. I went out to lunch today with her and my mom and then we went to get my sister a new computer. She had these on her corner cupboard where she has her vintage medical supplies displayed. I thought they were just too cute and decided to make them my photo for the day.

I took these with my Blackberry, I think they came out pretty good actually!!

Melting Icicles

2009-01-23T12:35:00.001-08:00

After days and days of subzero weather, it’s finally 33 degrees here and the icicles that were once HUGE are melting and falling off the house!!

Enemies or Friends?

2009-01-22T12:13:00.000-08:00

These two kitties spend most of their days chasing each other around the house and fighting. We’re constantly trying to get Alex (on the left) to leave poor Beans alone. Imagine my surprise when I went into the bedroom to get my shoes and found them like this!!

I originally was going to take a picture of the HUGE icicles hanging off the side of the house…

Happy Aussie Pear!

2009-01-21T10:44:00.000-08:00

I think that each week needs to include at least ONE pear picture. I'll try to get creative with this, Lord knows I have enough pears to do so! LOL

I got this little cutie from my Father in Law when he went to visit my Sister in law and her family in Australia!

He sits on a shelf in my office!

Omaba Sticker

2009-01-20T22:39:00.000-08:00

I sent away for this sticker online and it's on my (purple!) bulliten board in my office.

I think this says it all.

Paranormal State

2009-01-19T20:22:00.000-08:00

Tonight was the premiere of Paranormal State with back-to-back new episodes! They were really good too! I took this picture of a commercial during Intervention...not the best, but it will do!

New Toaster/Convection Oven

2009-01-18T15:21:00.000-08:00

Lookie what I got today!! Woo hoo! This is a Black & Decker Toaster/Convection Oven. We had a regular toaster oven and I love it...used it all the time. It was starting to look a little grimy, we've had it for a number of years...so it was time to replace it.

I won a 50.00 gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond for over performance at work and had a 25.00 gift card left over from Christmas...and THEN I signed up for BB&B's email updates and got a 20% off coupon! Woo hoo!! What a great deal! So I got this shiny new baby AND still have money left over! How cool!

I can't wait to use it!

More SNOW!

2009-01-17T17:12:00.000-08:00

Living in Michigan what should I expect in the middle of winter, right? But this is the 3rd big snow we've had in a row!!! And this one is after days of sub-zero weather too!

I know the picture isn't great by any means, but I think it's kind of cool that you can see the snowflakes and get an idea of just how much it's snowing right now.

The picture focus is our neighbor's fence on the property line.

Popcorn Cart/Machine

2009-01-16T21:09:00.000-08:00

My sister is moving into a new house with her son and her husband. She got the keys today so my family went there for dinner and to help her out a little bit. I had never seen the house (everyone else had) so I brought my camera and took a lot of pictures.

For Christmas she bought her husband this popcorn cart that really pops popcorn. They've been saying how GREAT the popcorn is that comes from this little machine. Well, she brought it over in today's load of boxes and my mom unpacked it and found a PERFECT little spot for it to sit and be displayed!

Another Sleepy Kitty

2009-01-15T21:07:00.000-08:00

Seems our house is full of sleepy kitties! This beige one is Razzle...aka Yidda, Yidda Kitty or Yidda Boy. He's a Manx and a Polydactyl...so he's like a freak of nature! haha

Week Two Scrapped!

2009-01-14T20:08:00.000-08:00

I'm on a roll!!! I actually took some time to scrap this past week's photos! I tried to stay with a wintery theme. I may or may not do that for all pages...try to keep them in the theme of the "season"...not sure yet. I may go back and make 2 page layouts for them all as well so that I can get a book to show off my 2009 in pictures when I'm done! I don't know yet...so many possibilities! Anyway...a little different page, but the same concept. Enjoy!

Blackberry

2009-01-14T18:02:00.000-08:00

This is my Blackberry. Before I got this phone, I had a Razr and I HATED it!!! I loved the phone I had before that and we had a different carrier then so I couldn't even switch back. But I love my phone now!!

How cool is the background? It's pears ice skating! haha...

Alex Sleeping

2009-01-13T19:16:00.000-08:00

I almost forgot my photo for today! I wanted to take a picture of all the snow we have, but we got busy cleaning the house so this cute picture of my baby, Alex (aka Fanna) will have to do!

He's lying on our bed, on my bathrobe. It's super warm so it atracts sleepy kitties! If you'll notice behind him there's a hair tie...he LOVES to play with them and I give him the one from my hair every night to play with. He waits for it as I get ready for bed. I collect them later, so I don't run out.

Well while we were cleaning today my husband found one of his stashes!!! There were 12 of them hidden!!! I found another smaller stash of like 5 in the kitchen. Too funny!

Domo

2009-01-12T12:38:00.000-08:00

I love Domo...these little Domos are sitting on a shelf right above (and behind) my monitor. Yeah, that's an iCat too! lol

Dirty Dishes

2009-01-11T15:39:00.000-08:00

I was planning on doing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen today...however, when I started, the kitchen sink started coming up in our tub...what a fun mess that is!

After 1/2 hour of plunging both the tub and sink with no progress, we called a plumber. They will be out tomorrow to clean the drain.

Lovely!

Snowy Day

2009-01-10T11:35:00.000-08:00

This is a view of our snowy neighborhood from our front porch. It's been snowing all day today and most of last night!!!

Detroit Harley "Wear"

2009-01-09T20:46:00.000-08:00

Out of the blue today I got a text msg from my husband today that said, "Since I cannot own a Harley, I am going to get some wear". Not sure where it came from, but he's right...he cannot own a Harley! LOL

So, here's the back of his "wear". He also got a hat. I think the shirt is pretty cool, actually...but don't tell him that! ;)

Smiling Princess Beans Kitty

2009-01-08T21:11:00.000-08:00

This is our little girl kitty, Beans. The hubbs calls her "Princess". We're having some issues with her bathroom habits right now, but we're trying to work them out. I caught her under my desk when I realized I had forgotten to take my picture for today! Whoops!

Doesn't it look like she's smiling?

2009-01-07T21:50:00.000-08:00

Topaz at the Vet

2009-01-07T19:11:00.000-08:00

Well actually, this is Topaz ready to get back into the car AFTER the vet visit!! He needed a routine blood draw to check his PB level...no worries!

Toothpaste Tube Press!

2009-01-06T20:12:00.000-08:00

I have been looking for these things forever!! I had members of my family looking for them...all so we can get every drop of toothpaste out of our tubes! haha

I FINALLY found them at Wallgreens! I was too excited. So this is today's picture. LOL

Fabulous Chalkware Pear

2009-01-05T21:00:00.000-08:00

I got this fabulous pear a few years ago from my mother. He (she?) hangs proudly in my kitchen. Unfortunately, a bad kitty knocked it off the wall and it suffered some damage. A little glue and it's good as new...minus the large chip on the left side. *sigh*

Razzle on Washing Machine

2009-01-04T17:13:00.001-08:00

After I give the dog his pills I usually let him and Onyx outside. When I walked through the laundry room I found a sleeping Razzle curled up on a towel on the washing machine. I thought it was really cute so I grabbed my camera and snapped this picture!

Kitty Socks!!

2009-01-03T17:12:00.000-08:00

I got these sweet kitty Christmas socks from my sister for Christmas.

I Woof You

My mother in law got these Valentine placemats for us. Aren't they cute??

Fleecey Smiley Pants

2009-01-01T13:31:00.000-08:00

My husband got these LOUD pants from my parents for Christmas! He's lived in them since then. They are fleece...he says they're really warm. I bet they are!

This is my photo blog!

2009-01-01T11:26:00.000-08:00

I am challenging myself to take a photo a day for the entire year of 2009. I will be posting them here and also on my flickr site.
