Days 30 & 31 - Lazy

I was feeling pretty photo-lazy all weekend.

We had friends over for dinner and cocktails, on Saturday...and their son fell asleep on the couch next to Guinness. (NOTE: The subject of this is not the dog, it's Sam. Just so my super dreamy husband knows that picking on me is NOT an option.)

Sunday, we had our very first Pampered Chef party, and then I came home...and took a realllllllllly long nap. So, when I finally woke up, it was 7:30, and my poor husband was forced to make his own dinner. I'm such a bad wife. Anyway, I snapped this picture of the oranges that are acting as a centerpiece in our dining room right now.

Day 29 - Self Portrait

I took some pictures today, but none of them turned out as I wanted them to...so, today is self portrait day!!!! WOOOO-HOOOO!!! This is me, and my sweet Kitty, who didn't really want to be in the picture, but, well, she doesn't really have a choice.

Day 28 - Cure

I've kind of been avoiding posting pictures of people. Mostly because while I love those posed pictures with people smiling all over my house, I sometimes think that catching photos of people when they're in a moment will really show more.

I took this picture tonight of my best friend, Jenny, and her husband, Louis. We are volunteers for the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life program, and were kicking off our 2010 season...coming up on July 17! Anyway - I caught this moment of Jen & Louis when they were listening to our speaker, Dr. Sharpless, talk about how the money we help raise through Relay For Life really does make a difference.

Day 27 - Reflection??

In an effort to stay inside today and not be out in the cold, I searched around the house for something to take a shot of. So, I lined the wine glasses that have been on the table up, and got this one. The glasses have circles etched on them, so it seems that there's a mirror, instead of four glasses. At least I see that, you may see something else entirely.

Day 26 - Warmth

What kept me from freezing today. Global warming is a sham!!!

Day 25 - The Eyes

My sweet son, Guinness, resting his head. How could you not love those sweet eyes?

Day 24 - Takhomasak

I'll admit...I had no idea what this sign meant for a really long time after I discovered Steak-N-Shake. No idea. The first Steak-N-Shake was in Normal, Illinois, which is also the town I went to college in. Most of the time when someone asks where Illinois State University is, and you answer "Normal" people laugh...but it's usually followed up with it's claim to fame, the original home to Steak-N-Shake.

When I was in college, there was not a Steak-N-Shake in every other town in the midwest, so when I discovered it in the 90's, I was very perplexed by what this sign was all about. I seriously thought, "Perhaps they have a Native American background??". I thought this for a long time. Then, one day it dawned upon me, that *some* midwestern people call a bag...a "sack"...and put it all together. Take home a sack.

Lord, I'm a total idiot.
