Camera Woes

September 1, 2009 by Elaine

I have a decent Canon camera but it’s not an SLR. It takes great pictures. Sometimes. Lately I haven’t wanted to take any pictures with the flash but if I don’t they usually come out blurry, on ANY setting. I can take 15 pictures and get 2 good ones. Mind you, the caveats to this…

Look At Me! Up Here on My Soapbox!

August 31, 2009 by Elaine

On Saturday I chilled out on the couch for a bit watching TLC. I watched one episode of What Not to Wear in which Stacy & Clinton pulled off one of the better make-overs that I have seen them do in a while. I mean they took this woman from Ms. Super Duper Frumpy Queen…

Who Knew?

August 30, 2009 by Elaine

I went to the BlogHer conference for many reasons. One was because I consider myself a very social person and I LOVE to meet, connect and well, talk and laugh with others. Especially those who share my same interests. What better place, really? I also went (I’ll admit) to promote my own blog and get…

Just A Reminder

August 28, 2009 by Elaine

This is a little video of The B Man (my first baby who is now almost through with 2 weeks of Kindergarten) when he was a day old. It has no sound so don’t think that you are losing it (your ability to hear, that is) when you don’t hear anything. I just had to…

On Family Resemblence

August 27, 2009 by Elaine

When I was younger I used to think I looked exactly like my father. I had lighter hair and skin like him and my relatives on his side of the family. I would look at the two of my three brothers who also showed many of the same features and find it odd that my…

WW – “It Has It’s Own Weather System!”

August 26, 2009 by Elaine

500 Points if you can get the movie reference. I’m talking about the belly of course. I swear it has a life of it’s own. Oh wait. It does. At 34 weeks I’m feeling huge and my feet and ankles are big, swollen freaky looking things. All the time. The B man has felt and…

Gates

August 25, 2009 by Elaine

Little G and I went for a quick walk around the block Saturday morning and I took my camera. There are some very beautiful homes in our current neighborhood and for some reason my lens gravitated toward the gates that we walked past. Guess I just thought they were kinda ‘perty.’ So, I thought I’d…

So, We’ve Been Here Long Enough Now…

August 24, 2009 by Elaine

… that I’m sorta getting used to all the rain. … that the garage door actually works correctly. We no longer have to hold the button down the ENTIRE time the door is going down, until it makes it to the cement ground. (okay, it’s been fixed for a few weeks now, but I still…

It’s Like A Roller Coaster (my day, that is…)

August 21, 2009 by Elaine

Yesterday morning was kinda rough. I did NOT want to get out of bed and yet I did. I fed the boys and fought The B Man’s protests to getting dressed. Once he finally gave in I knelt down to help him with his belt and the exhaustion of getting back up was a bit…

You Capture – Peace

August 20, 2009 by Elaine

I took very few pictures this week because of the fact that I am hugely pregnant quite tired and just taking the ones of my Kindergarten Kid wore me out (well emotionally anyway…). But despite the fact that my life has not been very peaceful as of late, I have stolen a few moments here…
