Day 152 {Bun} & {Master Lego Builder!}

Lately I've been tossing my hair in a simple bun. Gets the hair off of my neck and is much cooler. I so need to do something different with my hair.















Jason loves his Legos. He could happily spend every day of his life building Legos. I love these little things about him.

Day 151 {Hair}

Day 151

Messing with my hair today. I tend to mess and play with my hair often.

Day 150 {Rough Feet}

Day 150

As you all know from some of my other feet pics, I hate socks and shoes. Most women love shoes, but I hate them. I go barefoot whenever I can. I love going barefoot, I think it comes from growing up in the country. Now that I'm living in the city, I still go barefoot out in yard and when we go visit my parents upnorth. It's a rare day when you see me with socks on in the house even. As you can tell from going barefoot, my feet don't like the perfect womans feet. They are rough around the edges, and this is as good as they get. But you know what, I don't care. As long as I can go barefoot, I'm happy.

Pool Gardens

I'm actually growing stuff in my pool gardens!!! I am beyond thrilled!!! Of course I have to share pictures with you, all two of my readers. :)

These are, or should I say will be onions and carrots.













Broccoli and Lettuce













Peas

Day 149 {Dirty}

Day 149

I am finding that I am really enjoying playing in the dirt and doing gardening. It really surprises me.

Day 148 {Dentist}

Day 148

I had to go to the denist today to get a small cavity filled. I'm never fond of going to the dentist, never have been, never will. But I have found an awesome dentist who is so gentle and that I can trust. Plus she is awesome because she let me take my self-portrait a day there.

Day 147 {Checking Out}

Day 147

Checking out the view of my husband walking by.

Day 146 {50's Housewife}

Day 146

Today I felt like a 50's housewife. Wearing a skirt while cleaning the house.

I have three of these little short skirts that I never wear out of the house. But they are so comfortable, perfect for cleaning.

Simply Us

Hubby and I on a walk tonight.

Converted to B&W and upped the contrast. Love how this one turned out. I realize for some that it may be overdone, but I love it.

Dairy Queen

Hubby and I walked to Dairy queen today and everytime we go there, he gets the same thing. A small M&M Blizzard. I tease him because he is so predictable.

I like a bit of variety and go between a few different blizzards, a hot fudge sundae, a small chocolate cone, or a medium Cherry Mister Misty. Today I had the medium Cherry Mister Misty.

Growing up I used to love the Cherry Mister Misty's. Now they had to go and change the name to "Artic Rush" but to me they will always be Mister Misty's.

Day 145 {Red?}

Day 145

Hubby and I walked to Dairy queen today. I got a medium Cherry Mister Misty today.

Growing up I used to love the Cherry Mister Misty's. Now they had to go and change the name to "Artic Rush" but to me they will always be Mister Misty's.

That is how I got my tongue to match my shirt.

Day 144 {Savor the moment}

Day 144

Me at 7:15 a.m. saving the morning before heading into work to work in the office all day. I love mornings.

Around the yard

Here are some sites from around my yard. Lots of dandelions, lilacs, and some tree. Oh and some lettuce coming up! And here we go, in no particular order...

Dat 143 {Make a wish!}

Day 143

When I was younger, I was told that when you blow on dandelions, you had to make a wish. I made a wish today.

Day 142 {Yard}

Day 142

Sitting in the yard admiring all the dandelions after watering my plants.

Day 141 {Before Work}

Day 141

Being silly and goofy before work!

Day 140 {Me Lately}

Day 140

I've been on a reading kick again lately. I went through a huge stack of magazines and am halfway through a book I just started over the weekend.

Issues

I have issues with manhole covers and such. I hate walking over them. I will walk and step all goofy to avoid them. I guess I'm afraid that I will fall through them.

I also have the same issue with metal grates.

Goofy

"I'm going to get you and tickle you!"

I just love this picture of Jason. He is so goofy and funny, he makes me so happy. This is just so him.

Walking

Jason and I, and even me alone have been going on walks lately. Here are some recent pictures.

You can view the pictures here on Flickr. Read the description and you can even click on the thumbnails to make the pictures larger.

Haley's Picture

Whenever we go and visit Marie and Jerry, the kids are usually there and the girls, especially Haley and Bree give us drawings and pictures, which we always take home and hang on the fridge.

On Mother's Day it was no different. Haley and Bree met us at the door and gave me pictures and Bree also gave Jason one.

They were all colorful and beautiful as all 7 years old and 4 years old art is.

The one above, is from Haley, and made me tear up. If you can't tell from the picture, it says "Happy Mother Day Amber." It made me tear up because Jason and I haven't been able to have children, and yet one precious little one gave me a Mother's Day gift. Haley doesn't realize the meaning and imapct that this little drawing had on me.

Day 139 {Light and Dark}

Day 139

I love how the natural light works with this picture and lands almost halfway down my face.

Heading out for dinner and games with Joslins.

Day 138 {Kissing!}

Day 138

Out on a walk today, and we stopped for a couple kisses.


I think I'm going to print this out in an 8x10 to go on our wall.

Gardening!

I am attempting to grow a few veggies this year. It's shocking. Me, with the brown thumb, attempting to garden. I decided to do it to see if I can't help lower our grocery bill at all and just to see if I can. So far, it's been a fun experience! I am actually loving it and enjoying it.

Well as you can see from these two pictures, I managed to grow some spouts!

















We went up north one weekend, and when we came home, I looked in my containers that were in the window sills to see if anything had started to come up yet. I actually had SPROUTS coming up. I screamed, "I have sprouts!!!" and literally jumped up and down. I can't believe I grew something.

I'm not sure if I will keep the plants living, but I am trying it to see and I figure if anything, I will learn and do better next year. One thing I do know is that I need to start my plants in the house much earlier next year. I think I'm too late for what I'm attempting ot grow, but we will see. I also think I overwatered the plants to begin with. I will read, learn, and continue to garden. But the experience is so much fun! I can't tell you how much fun I'm actually enjoying it.

Day 137 {Spray Painting}

Day 137

Give me spray paint and let me go to town! Re-finishing an ugly gold shelf that will be going back into the bathroom.

Day 136 {Pooh Bear}

Day 136

Yes, I'm 25 years old and at night, when my husband is at work I sleep with this little Pooh Bear. As my hubby says, Pooh protects me when he isn't there to sleep with me. Even though I realize Pooh is just a little stuffed animal, he does help me sleep better.

Day 135 {Tired}

Day 135

Tired after working a 10 hour shift. Still dressed in work clothes, getting ready to change into comfies and crawl into bed with a book to relax.

Day 134 {Couch Potato}

Day 134

Being a couch potato tonight. Watching "The Alaska Experience" on t.v.

If you haven't seen "The Alaska Experience" it's an amazing show! Basically city slickers are given 3 months to survive in the Alaskan Wilderness. Shooting a gun, trying to get shoot/catch their own food and such. I find it interesting. It's on Discover Channel Tuesdays at 9 p.m. Central time. Check it out, though I think it's close to over...but apparently you can watch the back episodes on Discovery.com somewhere.
