RWS: a Picture a Day - 2008

Starlight, Starbright

Note: hahaha
Note2: That’s how I feel when I see this picture

Desert Oasis?

Not Worth the Pain of Childbirth

Note: Pomegranate in my mom’s backyard
Note2: Current Biblical Theory states the fruit in the Garden of Eden eaten by Eve was NOT an apple but was instead a pomegranate.
Note3: whoops–photographer’s foot…haha… I should use this for self-portrait Tuesday… LOL

Splurged

Note: At the end of packing up the family farm, we took a trip for two days to the Oregon Coast. And stayed in this spectacularly wonderful hotel room complete with a fireplace and a view of the ocean. My mom’s friend runs a nursery, so she supplied us with fresh berries (many of which we picked ourselves) before we drove out there. What could be better? Fireplace, fresh berries from a friend, sitting in a cozy room, reading a book, while listening to the ocean that you can see right outside your window….
Note2: Ignore the sippy cup. Reality always seems to intrude upon fantasy.

Self-Portrait Tuesday: Read Nook

Note: Apparently some of you whom I am close to were unaware of the whole moving thing. Oops. Hey! I moved! There. Now you know.
Note2: The picture of the ocean in the background? First photograph I ever fell deeply in love with. I was a tween, I think?

Happy #3, Bug-a-Boo!

Note: Yes. She looks pink. She likes pink. It fits her well. I figured for her birthday, I would leave her pink and make her happy.

Empty

Note: Still working my way through trip photos.

Learning

Note: Remember this?
She Still Does It

Working at the Business of Those Left Behind

Note: That title will make my mom cry, so let’s hope she doesn’t read it, okay?
Note2: The writing of approximately 23,982,325 thank you notes for various things done/given/sent/forced to/upon/for me/us/my mom is hopefully almost done.
Note3: My hand hurts from writing
Note4: We really DO appreciate every thought/prayer/wish/hope/heart that hurt for us. But wow, that was a lot of thank you notes.
Note5: No mom, you don’t look fat. (let’s hope she DOES read that one)

WINNER!
is Nic. Because yes, I am sophisticated. And I referenced a movie. Charlie’s Angels in which The Chad (Tom Green) calls Dylan (Drew Barrymoore) Starfish as a term of endearment. And now you know.

Made Me Laugh Out Loud

Note: Yes. I know. There is nothing spectacularly wonderful about this image in many respects. But this is SO my children. One being all sproingy while the other displays an attitude to rival the best 15 year old teenagers around.
Note2: Photographers, please notice the amazing amounts of light my new house has. Turn green with envy. Neener Neener.
Note3: Note2 is an accurate representation of my true maturity level.
