Lucky Number 4

WOW. i had a lot of trouble with this weeks assignment. i think I might need to come in for remediation Mama Kat. I couldn't pick any prompts. I just didn't know what I was going to go. Here's the prompts what would you do?

1.) Tell us about a memorable blind date.
2.) Other than the birth of a child or your wedding, write about a joyous moment.
3.) Write about one of the most difficult decisions you have made in your life.
4.) Share the best picture you took last month and explain why it's your favorite.

I can't do #1, I've never had a blind date. Well........yeah no. I couldn't list something as a joyous moment in my life. difficult decisions? I could do that one but I'm not in the mood to be sad right now. I'll do #4 but it wins by default. and really this is one of the only pictures I took last month.

It's of me and my nephew, Kanyon. We took it one night while the family was over at m parents house. he had a ton of toys from Christmas to play with but all he wanted to do was play with my camera. i have to say. the kid has a pretty good eye. He took some really cool pictures, but i haven't had a chance to upload any of those. I told my brother maybe next year we should get him his own camera. He really had a blast. So this is a self portrait of the two of us. I love this kid. we are best buds when he's around. That's why this is my favorite picture from last month.

so that's what I have to say about this weeks assignment. It sure stomped me. Stop over at Mama Kats and see what everyone else thought.

have a nice day!

TOPS for me in 2008

hooray for Moma Kats writing assignments. Oh How I've missed you my dear writing assignments. I know we aren't "supposed" to post until Thursday but I'm doing one as my entry today. I can't help myself. I was having bloggers-block but thanks to Moma Kats I can now blog my heart out.

What are my top 10 things for the wonderful year of 2008. tough. question.
I understand the concept of "Top 10" however mine are in no particular order. OK. That's just to hard for me to do right now, as I'm at work and SHOULD be working. teehe teehee.


1. Making new friends this year. I'm very proud of my antisocial self for making so many new friends this year. OK maybe i only made 5 new friends but I haven't made that many new friends TOTAL over the last 5-7 years. I'm a very picky friend picker. But I've branched out and made some great new friends and because of them have made some GREAT new memories.Oh yeah I've opened up at work and now count more of my co-workers as my friends. Those gals are swell. :)


2.Going to DENVER to see Kitty. We had such a blast. I'm glad Always the bride went with me. The three of us had such a great time. I loved the RMNP. It's was amazing.


3. Entering my photo from the trip into a photo contest. I'm my biggest critic (aren't we all) so working up the courage to do it and believing that I had the right to be there was hard. WINNING 2nd place was just icing on the cake!


4.Becoming a local band groupie! We've gone to a lot of local venues to watch our favorite band play. Drop of Grey you rock, come back soon.


5. Going to the county fair...TWICE! I had a blast with Preggers, Mr. Preggers, Jimmy Jam, Always the bride and Steeler Fan at the Breaking Ben concert. It was cool having Preggers, Mr. Preggers and Jimmy Jam over to hangout in York for a change. Go to my local bar, drink at my place, and crash there for a change. Going back to the fair the next day was a blast. Betting on the pig races, by far the most exciting part.


6.Jimmy Jams. That whole thing was fun. He's a nice guy it's a shame it only last a short time.


7. I only woke up next to Mr. Ship once this year. That's a new record for us. I wish i could say that was over, but until I toughen up it'll never be over.


8.I didn't lose my job. trust me you don't know how close I've come to killing some of the people i work with or the customers i deal with. I'm not a huge people person.


9.Hunting with MaJunior. What a blast. Nothing like me and her in the woods with Mr. Ship and MaJunior's hubby to make them rethink taking us again. GOOD TIMES!


10.BLOGGING! I'm back to blogging religiously. I have trouble keeping the blog on my myspace page up to date but i try. This blog is just so much BETTER. I know parents shouldn't have a favorite. But lets be honest. They ALL do. They might say they don't. But they DO. Deal with it. I love this blog more. It's better. It's smarter. It's easy (she gets that from mommy) and the people I meeting aren't friending me with half naked pics. This place is great.


So there is my top ten list for 2008. It's not super funny, it's not super sappy. It is. What it is. Peace out 2008. It's been real!

Photo DAY!

This is my favorite photo from my vacation in Colorado. I think it captures the beauty of a fresh snowfall in the Rockey's. This photo was from early April, it flurried all morning and during our drive up into the mountains. It is to date the most beautifully thing I've seen in my 27 years.

I have the 8x10 black and white version of this hanging in my living room. i feel like I can just reach out and touch the snow.

Stop over and check out the rest of the photos at http://angiescircus.blogspot.com/

So Sam from Yes, I know "Sam" is a boy's name tagged me to do a meme. How Nice of her. thank you! And I think chance will completely understand why you posted that nice picture of him showing himself as such a ladies man! The rules go something like this: post and write about the 6th picture from (the 6th folder of?) your Flickr account and then do the same for the 6th picture of the 6th folder on your computer. I much like Sam do not have a flicker account. Come on, I'm lucky I'm capable of operating a camera most days. so I grabbed a Photo from the 6 folder on my myspace page (yes I am like 13-years old, thanks for asking) and I grabbed a photo from the 6th folder on my computer. so here goes!

This is me and my BGF (best guy friend) Mike at his wedding. Don't I look like a hottie. He doesn't look to bad, I guess. Love ya MIKE!

This beauty is from outside Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. I thought it was really cool. Yes people I am easily amused and impressed. Go figure.

So Now we are to tag people. hum???

I'll tag Darcie, because She always has cute pictures of her kids and when aren't cute kids pictures fun! http://cavedweller1019.blogspot.com

Maybe Kitty will post a nice picture from her visit to the Brady circus over Thanksgiving. Those could be comical. http://norwegianrefugee.blogspot.com

and finally..........(drum roll please)

I pick Becky because We haven't heard much from her in the last week or so. Maybe She'll grant us a another peak at her Christmas tree. http://smileitsbecky.blogspot.com

P.S.
Sam I love the fireworks over Pittsburgh, I went to College out that way and I always loved the Pittsburgh view. thanks for the tag!
