Weekly Winners – Holidays are Here Edition
All taken w/ Canon Rebel XS.
Christmas on the square. A photo walk with the kid. Trying to find photos to fit all the hunt items is a little tough, and I fudged on a couple while I had extras for others. Here we are :D.
1. Waiting

There weren’t any leaves left on the trees, so I got this cool bark. It looks like camouflage.

Friday Fragmented
[flickr id=”6367104721″ thumbnail=”small” overlay=”true” size=”small” group=”” align=”left”] Another Friday Fragments installment!
****Archie & I went to the library. Face to face with my former co-workers a week after I quit suddenly. My boss was there, tod me she missed me. Made me sad. I really did like that job.
****My turkey? Was PERFECT. I couldn’t have dreamed of cooking it better than I did.
****We got rid of cable again. Explain this to me…while we were PAYING for cable, shelling out $100/mo for it we had NO HD channels – we would have had to shell out MORE money every month in order to get them. We shut down cable and switch to just straight no cost local channel what comes through the line cable…and we have HD channels. It makes NO sense.
****Tonight was the Christmas on the Square event. Girls got their faces painted, we had a bit of fun. It’s officially the Christmas season.
****This week my post went up at Band Back Together. Please hop on over and check it out. I’m very proud of it. It’s here: The World’s Strongest Man and his Weakling Daughter.
****I haven’t been able to write much this week. The muse is getting into the mode she usually does at the end of the year every year. A mode of non-working for me. Hoping she snaps out of it. I do have more story to tell.
That’s it for another week. Time to make some turkey broth.
Thankful
[flickr id=”6293299563″ thumbnail=”small” overlay=”true” size=”small” group=”” align=”left”]For relative good health in the house.
For kids that are happy.
For a husband that loves and supports me.
For laughter.
For creativity.
For friends.
For a belly so full I couldn’t eat another bite.
Happy holidays to you and yours.
Dirty Little Secrets
I’m almost too late for my post for today, so this is quick and silly.
Confessions of things I’m certainly guilty of after almost 13 years of a Mom.
****
1) I always thought Steve from Blues Clues was hot…even before he left and shaved his head.
2) I hate Mary Poppins with a deep passion. Ever since Brandon was obsessed with it and I was forced to watch it over and over for weeks on end…and came to realize she is a pompous, self-righteous, snobby bitch.
3) I actually enjoy iCarly and Victorious. They make me giggle. Big Time Rush – not so much.
4) I used to use the TV to babysit Brandon. He would come into my room at 5AM on the weekends, I’d flip on the cartoons and go back to sleep. What can I say…the kid NEVER slept!!
5) I hate Spongebob almost as much as Mary Poppins. ‘Nuff said.
6) I haven’t taken any of my kids to a movie since Riley was an infant. I don’t trust them to sit through one. So all movies wait for video.
7) One of my favorite all-time movies is Lion King.
8) I miss the earliest days of Blues Clues before Dora and Diego and Max and Ruby tainted the waters.
9) I am actually physically disgusted by the Diego episode with the Iguana and the strawberries. You know the one…
****
I almost totally messed up my NaBlo again…so you get a repeat of last year cheater post again…my embarrassing confecssions 😀
Cloudy
It’s cloudy as heck around here…raining…but there aren’t any pretty clouds. Or rather there were, but on a day I was not motivated to get out and take pictures. Sooo…I decided to get creative.

A reflection in and through a bubble is always cloudy and colorful 🙂
Normally I’m a bit obsessed w/ clouds. Here’s a few others from my photo stream that are fitting…
