Be it ever so humble...

I am such a homebody. Don't get me wrong, I love hanging out with friends, visiting people, going places, but when it gets to evening time and I'm looking at being gone all evening (sometimes even over night), I look around my room and suddenly feel oh so melancholy. 

Everything seems to fade away as the radio provides a little "music to be melancholy to" and I remind myself that I will have a good time and my comfy bed will not always be able to compare with the fellowship ... with a fellow human being. So I go. And I have a good time. And then I come back to my bedroom. :-)

..there's no place like home.

Disclaimer: This isn't really a picture of my bedroom. What? You thought I would really put a picture of my bedroom on here for all the world to see??? No way, Jose!!! One, my bedroom isn't the cleanest room you've ever seen and two, this one is so much prettier than mine. :-) So I "borrowed" it. :-) You wouldn't want to leave this bedroom either, would you? ;-)

Is that a pink one???

That's what my brother fearfully said the other night as I was sweeping the living room. I quickly assured him that it was just an orange jellybean. Then I thought what a dismal fate this poor orange Starburst jellybean was about to suffer, all because it wasn't pink, and decided to pick it up and eat it. Gross! Are you crazy!?! I took a picture of it, swept it up, threw it away, and now I'm blogging in it's honor. :-) I know. I'm an amazing person. 

Farewell, orange jellybean. I will never think of you again but you had a good life.

P.S. The above said brother started his own blog! Check it out here!

Referrals anyone?

Have you heard of Swagbucks? Well it would seem there is a Swagbucks revolution going on and I'm not benefiting from it!!! I first joined...a while back...don't remember exactly when...but when I joined I was asked to invite others to join. I've done that before but, I know from personal experience, it can be annoying to be invited to every new social whatever that comes down the pike. Remember WAYN or Flickr??? So I decided to be considerate of my friends and not invite anyone. Well....I might have invited ONE person who I thought would actually be interested... Anywho, now here it is a year or more later and I'm seeing person after person join up. But am I getting the referral credit???? NO! Someone else is when I was the one being nice! But of course, now that I'm seeing a whole bunch of people sign up who I didn't think would be interested I'm second guessing myself. So! Here is your invite! :-D Join Swagbucks, a community where you can earn points and redeem them for cool stuff!

                                             

...no pressure ...

Imports!

I know my last (and first) post said, "New Blog!" yet, if you have your eyes open right now, you can see for yourself that there are a whole bunch of other boring totally awesome posts before it. That's because I took them from my other blog (the one I'm making more "professional", remember?) and brought them over here where they can be enjoyed by us "un-professional" people. :-P I hope that I have cleared up any confusion. If not, call this number: 781-452-2080(please pardon the reference to your seat...) and have a nice day.

New Blog!

What a boring title! Yet that is always what people put on the first post of a new blog. I guess I'm "people". :-)
I had another blog but decided it needed to be more...professional. Well I can't be professional all of the time! So here will be my little spot to share the quirky thoughts that come out of this brain of mine. 


To start of with...and to close this, my first post - a random quote that I love from a classic that I love. Though I have to admit that I haven't read said classic(I'm half-way through!)...only watched the movie...but that doesn't mean it isn't a good line! A good book! And a good movie! 










Oh right! Here it is. :-)

Snowflakes. . . AGAIN!!!!

It just seems we can't get away from this snow. Here it is, Spring has officially begun, we're about to leave March behind us and we're getting more snow. I do have to say though that they were big, fat, beautiful flakes. So I decided I was going to take advantage of the opportunity (I had to make it good somehow!) and take some shots in the snow. Since all of the people in my family are adults (no fun to take photographs of :-P) I borrowed a couple of my piano students when they came for their lessons. :-) Since they had to get home I only took a couple of each but they still turned out better than if it had been of one of us ugly boring adults! :-P 

(all SOOC)

Love her eyes in this one.

Had to try some B&W too.

Definitely made the snow worth it. Already thinking of ways to make them better next time. Can't wait to try my hand at it again.

Cross Country Photography

Last night I got home from a 9 day road trip. I had a wonderful time and tried to use it as an opportunity to get some unique photos. But, I had a hard time keeping the camera with me (we were pretty squished in the car, especially on the way back) so while I did get a few fun ones I also missed a few amazing ones. One specific one really killed me to miss...but I guess I will survive. lol So! Here are a few. :-)

I couldn't help but wonder how good this coffee/cappuccino was at .50 cents a cup...

I had this shot perfectly (a big, old, pretty building) and was about to snap it when the stupid semi got in my way! I still thought it was kind of neat though because the focus is still on the building in the background. :-P

One that actually worked. I love the neat little farms you pass as you drive down the interstate.

I couldn't decide which of these two I liked better...both are such different "angles".

Then of course I had to get a couple of animals. :-)

Thanks for coming with me! :-)
