Day 262/365

Today I am mourning a loss...

I had purchased a terabyte external hard drive a few years ago. Today it died. This is where my morning became interesting. See I put lots of information on my external hard drive, such as video's, pictures (both current ones I have been taking and ones I have been scanning) and my music library. I had roughly 700 gigs of information on this 1000 gig device... its gone- yup all gone. So I cried (literally) and mourned this HUGE loss... ughhh. The Sunday Creative word prompt is obsolete...

without warning or notice my external hard drive became just that (did I say uggh?) UGGGH! I am hoping that this section of my blog will be obsolete, (yes my optimistic side is fighting hard to keep my chin up). Maybe I can find a super tech who can recover some of the information. Maybe they can recover SOME of my photos. MAYBE ALL of my videos will not be lost forever. okay Okay OKAY. I am working my self up again...

I am SO grateful having Max with me today to keep me completely distracted. However he is currently sleeping after a fun filled day of puppets and drawing and coloring and running and dancing and singing and reading and laughing and building...

Day 261/365

It has been a crazy busy week. 

 Feels like crazy is becoming part of the routine. This was our sunset tonight (sooc)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Its a happy fence friday :)

 

This is my lunch break shot... you know the one where your like OHHH there is a fence and before you know it you're squealing your tires ~ making a sharp turn to back track just a little ~ so you can have a happy fence shot for friday :)

Day 260/365

This is one of THOSE shots where I have NO IDEA what happened. SERIOUSLY NO IDEA! I have my handy dandy tripod. I have my trusty little remote. I have my grandson's bubbles. I have sunshine. I have the camera adjusted the way I think I want it. I blow the bubbles while pressing the remote... a bunch of times. Might I just add that blowing bubbles during your lunch hour is somewhat therapeutic! just stayin. When I FINALLY was able to pull the images off of my camera this morning I was like W.T.H. happened HERE! yeah, I don't know! No Clue! Some how or another they got smashed together on my SD card. craziness. So this is my Self Portrait Thursday posted on a Friday evening because LIFE happens.

Day 259/365

Wordless Wednesday shot

and Wordy Wednesday

I got to have lunch with an amazing lady whom I think the world of.

Ms Gina 

She is Smart-Sassy-Kind-Creative-Helpful-Supportive-Authentic-Determined-Opinionated-Aerobic addict-Kick boxer-bike riding-canine loving-go getter whom I am honored to call my friend.

SIDE NOTE: On our way to start operation park city drop off, Max got stung by a wasp... he is fine and once we got a cold pack (bag of frozen peas and carrots) and some benadryl in him he was a happy camper (or should I say passenger). His uncle Caz is having car problems (again) so we headed out to the dealership for warranty work to be done. Max and I were talking and pointing out the colors of things (we were limited because it is getting dark at 6:30). He was a little jabber box. Then we were singing... This was my very first time singing to the radio with him and  it was cracking me up.

Day 258/365

dusk....

Happy Purple Tuesday...

This was the back up plan, kinda last minute, oh shoot what do we have that is purple shot... I missed my opportunity today. I was driving over the bridge and noticed the pond reflecting the purple sky tonight. I had cars in front of me and cars behind me and I looked at the "emergency lane"... There was no way I could pull over and be safe about it. I laugh because the thought did cross my mind to see if I could wait out traffic. My co-pilot had every intention to direct traffic if needed.... the fact it took me 30 seconds to decide that isn't a very good idea makes me giggle. lol So I opted to not put any lives in danger. I might want to put that on a future list though "risking life and limb shot" lol ;)

Day 257/365

Happy Post Halloween Bench Monday =)

Day 256/365

How to Paint a Dragon....

Max insisted that he is a dinosaur (which sounds like "sore") even though his costume is a dragon.

His Uncle Caz bought a face painting kit, and pretty soon everyone ended up in the bathroom watching as Caz painted Max's face green :)

Once most everything was green he wanted some blue (so we drew on blue eyebrows) and yellow (we put a little on his nose).

Can you believe I only got FOUR trick or treaters, two of which were Caz and Max!!!!
