He’s So Beautiful!!!!
2008-05-12 12:33:13
Yesterday, we went to go meet Cobby. He was given the nickname Cobby, because at one point in the pregnancy, Alissa said he was the size of a corncob. Cute, hugh?! LOL, the whole nickname thing was something we’ve all discussed, since Grampa is known as Russ and my brother grew up as Rusty and [...]

Vagabond Beanies… New Beanies!
2008-05-14 03:00:51
OK, I’ve decided to send out 5 more Beanies. I think that 5 may not be enough to sustain a full blog. Having to deal with snail mail, busy schedules and even the weather is delaying most of the submissions and I’m afraid the lack of updates will discourage readers and participants. For those who haven’t [...]


Photo Stitching… So Awesome!
2008-05-15 10:32:07
When I got my new camera, it came with a program called Photo Stitch. What is does is stitch individual photos together to make one large panoramic photo. When we went to Goldfield Ghost Town the other weekend, I took some shots out into the desert (thanks to Tammy reminding me) to try out this [...]


The Flu Sucks!
2008-05-21 09:40:50
Seriously. Thankfully it seems to have been a 24 hour thing. It’s so weird though… Normally when one of us gets it, it blows through all of us rapidly. This time it hit Shelby first in the middle of the week before last, then T at the beginning of last week, Nikki on Sunday then [...]


Sick… Flu

Disneyland or Bust!
2008-05-24 12:25:39
Okee peeps… I’ll be gone all next week… That’s right… 5 whole days at Disneyland !!! Yes, we may just be insane…. Anyways, we’ve decided to split up the parks and we’re doing something special everyday. Somethings we’ve done before, some things will be new. Sunday: We are driving out. Once we get to the hotel and settle in [...]


And Our Community Grows
2008-06-03 07:43:20
To be totally honest, when we first moved from So Cal to Apache Junction, AZ about 7 years ago, AJ was considered the white trash / meth head / old people slums. That is no longer the case. Not only has a major face lift begun on many of the run down main areas, but [...]


Back Home… Exhausted… Sunburnt… And Totally Happy
2008-06-01 18:43:53
It feels great to be sleeping in my own bed, but I already miss Disneyland, believe it or not! We actually came home a day early. It wasn’t because we were sick of being there though, it was because we actually did everything already! No lie! For example… We had planned on it taking all of [...]

While checking out my friend, Bozette’s blog yesterday, I was inspired to post some of the photos of blooms that I took while at Disney land… They have such gorgeous flower there.

Online Photography Classes and Tutorials
2008-06-05 02:20:27
Yesterday I decided to look into our local community collage to see if they had a photography course and how much it would cost. Unfortunately, you can’t enroll for just one class. So I looked into workshops… way too much money. Then I looked into online courses. I found one that sounded wonderful… the only [...]

I Think I just Saw A UFO!!!
2008-06-06 11:33:43
Normally I don’t post twice in one day, but this is a special occasion… I was coming back from the mail boxes, the sun was in front of me. Going from south to north I saw something in the sky. The sun was behind it, so it should have been dark, right? Well, it wasn’t, it [...]


Lessons Well Learned…
2008-06-06 08:36:07

(*hint hint wink wink*) So anyways… I decided, while I was out, I may as well go on a mini photo hunt. Weeeelll… I learned 2 very important lessons… 1. When [...]

Mini Photo Hunt #1
2008-06-07 08:58:44
I’ve decided that I want to try to get out at least once a week to take photos. I’m going to call them my mini photo hunts. Mini because it’s summer here in AZ and it’s too hot to go out for more than an hour or so. They’ll mostly be photographs of the desert, [...]

10 In 101 Days
2008-06-09 12:10:52
While reading up on the blogs in my blogroll, I was inspired by Leslie. She did this thing called 10 in 101 Days where she came up with 10 goals to complete in 101 days. I thought it was a great idea and it’s the type of thing that’ll motivate me to do things I am [...]


Soon, I Will Smile Again!
2008-06-11 09:41:19
What most people, outside of close friends and family, don’t know about me is that my teeth are crumbling. I was “blessed” with very thin and weak enamel and, for a long time, had an addiction to Coke… the Cola, not the powder… 2 very large strikes. I haven’t been able to fully smile for years [...]

Wouldn’t It Be Cool If…
2008-06-12 09:28:14
We had a set up like sharks for our teeth? The whole conveyor belt system. Yeah, that would be nice… Anyways, yesterday I went in to get my teeth (what’s left of them) cleaned. The good news is that I have very healthy gums with so sign of Periodontal disease, or any other disease. I [...]


Wanna Publish A Book?
2008-06-13 12:32:54
I have been kicking this idea around for years… Many… many years ago, T was really into the whole Jim Morrison poetry thing and wrote a bunch of his own poems. I have toyed with the idea of having them made into a book for him for a birthday gift. I researched having the pages bound, [...]

Mini Photo Hunt #2
2008-06-17 08:47:52
I actually took these last Thursday, I just haven’t had the time or energy to post them. Because of the heat and gas prices, I only went as far as my front yard for these! LOL It’s kinda of a triptic series. The cat is Gypsy… she was a bit annoyed with me by the [...]

Moon Over AZ
2008-06-18 10:01:20
Last night was nearly a full moon and there was a bit of a haze cloud surrounding it. So, I decided to try out my awesome telephoto lens, tripod and remote shutter set up for the first time. Unfortunately, by the time I got everything situated the haze was gone, but I still was able [...]


A Change Of Plans…
2008-06-23 11:16:30
Well, since my plan for T’s birthday present was blown, I’ve found something else. Unfortunately I can’t post about it now as T can now (and I quote) “check my blog at any time”. LOL, and I managed to keep this idea all to myself for about 5 years then with 1 little phone call, [...]

All Mine… For 8 Hours Anyways…
2008-06-30 12:57:34
What Started out as a bad weekend with the loss of Henry ended on a great note. Last night I babysat for my nephew. Is he not the cutest thing you ever saw? He was a little angel. He only cried twice, once when he needed his diaper changed and again when he was hungry. He even got [...]

Bye Bye Henry
2008-06-28 14:23:33
Last night, one of our ferrets, Henry , passed away in his sleep. Henry, or Penguin as we also called him, was one of our rescues. When we got him, he had health issues and almost died. When he finally got better, he became a sweet little pudge ball and waddled when he walked, hence the [...]

Where To Start?
2008-07-17 11:15:17
This past week has been shitty… very shitty. Pardon my French. On Saturday I was bombarded by 5 trojans and an extremely annoying Adware that was popping up IE windows like popcorn. Advertising everything from (go figure) anti adware programs to porno. Neither my McAfee or Spysweeper were doing anything to stop them. I ended up [...]

Dentist Visit #3
2008-07-11 08:51:46
Yesterday I went to the dentist to continue my major tooth overhaul. This time they pulled 3 teeth, 2 from the bottom left & 1 from the top left and reconstructed 3 teeth on the bottom. The bottom is really starting to look good! I had 5 bottom front teeth that were still in great condition and [...]
