Hangin' with Grandma

....and Grandpa, but I didn't get a picture of him (sneaky, sneaky). Well friends, you might find today's post a bit boring unless you think spending a few hours with octogenarians to be a good time, which I do!

 

I love my grandparents, and they spoil me like crazy.

 First, my Grandma made Theresa and I coffee ("Instant, because that's the kind Dale likes")

 Then, I got to eat a delicious almond crescent cookie....I know, JEALOUS!!

 This little wolf-child showed up, with his mama.

 Finally, my grandma literally spent 10 minutes wrapping this package of cookies for Fr. Vivona. I wrap presents sometimes... I buy a giftbag, throw in the gift, and cram tissue paper into the rest of the bag so that it appears that I got the receiver a large, generous gift. Boom! Done.

Look at that pride. She hadn't even tied on the golden ribbon yet and it's perfection.

Here's a weirdly dark and foreboding picture to contrast with the happy day I wish all of you to have, I personally love cloudy days. Mwwwaaa!

I love cloudy days!!

Well, I took four advilPMs last night (don't worry everyone, it was two sets of two spread apart), and I STILL fell asleep at 4 am. On the up side, the lovely baby woke me up at 7:30 with her soft little voice, and once I know the Melancon girls are up, it's hard to fall back asleep.

 

Also, I was supernerdyexcited about getting started on pictures for this blog!

 

So here are some of my little adventures/thoughts/little happenings today, so far....

                                                These darn grapfruit will never be ripe!!!

                                         I think I already mentioned that because of our super wet summer this year, my garden is in a permanent state of Spring...no complaints!

 The most beautiful flower of all, Ophelia Rose, helped me to find inspiring angles....

 Ken picked this tequila out for me a few days ago because he knows I love purple! He was spot on, I am obsessed with the gold tequila against the purple background. However, when I mixed this with mango margarita mix, it tasted horrible. Maybe because it's a gold tequila? Tequila drinkers, help me out!

 Ken, Theresa, and I finished our second puzzle in a day. Take that Kincade! And your 'master of light' scenic paintings!

What can I say? NOM NOM NOM

Shoutout!

Okay, just a quick post before I go to work!

So, whenever any girl compliments me on my makeup I say, Pixiwoo. I could write an entire post about my obsession with these two make-up guru British sisters on Youtube, but that would probably bore most of you. So instead, I'm doing a little shoutout and showing a look that I copied.

I hate the second picture of myself, but alas....I though you all deserved to see the eyeshadow. Here's a link to the video I tried to copy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkGHGKzUFM4&feature=g-u

Anywho, just to give everyone a little update on my life, our household is trying not to watch as much TV as we usually do, so yesterday I picked these from my garden

 



We're also doing a lot of puzzles. By "a lot" I mean we've completed one of this spooky Anne Geddes baby

 

And we've started a Thomas Kincade.....yep....we're those people.

 

I apologize for all the spelling and grammatical errors in this post...I'm hurrying off to work now. By my friends!!







Alright, one more....

Patience friends!!!

I ask that you all (I should say, "anyone who reads this") bear/bare with me as I work out the kinks of this blogging thing. There will undoubtedly be a few changes made here and there, so I hope nobody gets too attached this early on.

I tried writing a blog a few years ago, and needless to say-FAIL. In my absence, I noticed that blogger.com has become waaaay more user friendly, so if anyone is thinking about blogging, now is the time to do it!

Hmmmm....also I just wanted to give a little credit to where credit is due. The photo that borders this blog was taken by my beautiful bestie Lisette Bravo, and in the previous post the two wedding photos were taken by The Cohens.

I think it's time for another photo montage of old photos that depict a little preview of what this baby is about! Enjoy friends!

                                                    Photography, I do it.

                                                                            My roomies!

The First Post!!!

Well, here goes nothin! A few ladies in my family have inspired me to delete facebook. I just feel at this point in my life it's affecting me in a negative way. Since I would still like to converse and share a bit, I'm creating this blog.

A big part of this blog is going to be challenging myself to photograph something everyday. Instead of crowding everyone's FB streams with silly photographs, you can look at them here! (If you choose).

Hopefully, we can all have better conversations this way....

Here's just a few old pics to explain what this blog will be about....

Yeah man, stuff like that.

Anywho, I look forward to having lovely conversations with all of you!!
I'll probably post some more today since I'm supernerdyexcited about this blog.
Peace, Love, and God Bless.
