Day 353: Memorial Day Marigolds

Ashley and I picked up two flats of Marigolds to plant around Mom's garden. We planted them today, but I completely forgot to take a picture of them until we were driving home at 9:30 at night. Luckily, we drove Eastman Road, which is lined with Marigolds. So, at a stoplight, I took a picture.  ":)

Day 331: Mother's Day

Day 317: Happy Easter!

I saw the Easter Bunny this morning. I love how the photo is like the Lochness Monster or Big Foot--vague and hard to see. ":)

Day 314: High 5 Day

We had lunch downtown at Diamond Jim's. While we were there, we saw a guy on stilts walking down the street. After lunch, we gave him high-fives and got our picture taken with him.

Green beer at the Midland Brewing Company.

Day 188: Snowflake Ornaments

Last year I started a tradition, making Song Bird Christmas ornaments for each of my Godchildren.  This year, I decided to do snowflakes.  These are a few I made today.  I'll make more tomorrow.  Here are the final selections: 2010 Godchildren Christmas ornaments.

Day 187: More Ornaments

I was super sick today and after getting home from school, I briefly studied for my exam on Thursday and then went to bed.  Before I went to bed, I knew I need a picture of the day, so here's another ornament photo.  I promise there will be something more interesting tomorrow.

Day 186: Glittering Star

I went to work, came home, finished my paper, and studied for an exam... so not a lot to take a picture of.  So, I decided to get a snapshot of one of my ornaments on the tree.  It has no special significance or anything, I just like that it sparkles.  [I'd say at least half the ornaments on my tree have glitter on them.]

Day 185: Wrapping Gifts

I took a vacation day and worked on my final paper for my history class.  I also wrapped my gifts for Texas, so that they could be mailed with the ones Mom and Dad were sending.  I haven't wrapped anything else yet...

Day 182: Angel

This is the angel ornament I made for Granny.  It didn't turn out as cool as I had hoped, but it's still kinda cool.  I had a way cooler design, but discovered that bending wire into angels is way harder than I had suspected.

Day 175: Christmas Tree

I put up the Christmas tree tonight, listening to my favorite Christmas hymns: O Holy Night, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen-We Three Kings medley, and Do You Hear What I Hear.

Day 167: Thanksgiving

I am thankful for my friends and my family, my Godbabies and my pets. I am thankful that I have a car to drive and a roof over my head. I am thankful that I can afford to go to school and that I have a job that allows me to do so. I am thankful for my happiness and my health. Happy Thanksgiving!

Day 142: Happy Howl-oween!

All my Halloween festivities happened earlier in the week, but I had to have a Halloween related picture today—it just wouldn't be right if I didn't.  So, I made the mutts pose for this.  Don't they look thrilled?
