Celebrate
Yesterday’s image theme from The Idea Room was “Celebrate”. What better day to photograph celebration than a national holiday? I had a pretty good one myself. I spent most of the day out at my mom’s house teaching my youngest sister how to make my Bread and Butter Pickles. In the evening, my husband and…
Read MoreSeeing Red
Today is the 3rd day of the July Photo-a-Day Challenge from The Idea Room. I’m super happy that today’s challenge was something that I could easily do, even if it’s gloomy out, which of course it is. Whoever planned all of this gloomy weather in the middle of my summer is seriously making me sad.…
Read MoreA Refelction on Reflections
Today’s photo prompt for The Idea Room’s July Photo-a-Day challenge was reflection. Taken literally, a refection is the return of light or sound waves from a surface (at least according to Merriam-Webster). But as I pondered what to take a photo of today, I realized that I was actually reflecting on reflections. Particularly when I…
Read More27 Dresses: A Trip Through My Closet
Hopefully a few of you remember the 2008 Katherine Heigl film 27 Dresses. It’s a movie about a woman who has been in 27 different weddings and thus has 27 different bridesmaid dresses. Well, I only have one bridesmaid dress – from my sister’s wedding. Well, two if I include the one I wore on…
Read MoreOutside My Window
Today is Day #1 of the July Photo-a-Day Challenge from The Idea Room. Today’s challenge is “out my window”. It happens to have been pouring rain all morning, so today’s photo is a shot of a sad and lonely tree against the grey sky out my back widow at the office. It’s not the prettiest…
Read MoreFirst Week of Summer
I’ve survived the first week of my Summer of No Pants without cheating. However, I did discover that almost all of my skirts and dresses are dressier work styles. I don’t have too much in my closet that’s casual, at least not without putting on pants. I feel like I should totally use this as…
Read MoreThe Chiropractor Demands Flats
As many of you know, I love shoes. I absolutely adore them. Having a great pair of shoes always makes me feel fabulous. However, my chiropractor seems to disagree with me about how amazing some of my shoes are. For some reason he seems to think that my 3 and 4 inch heels are a…
Read MoreA Girl and a Gun
I took a little time out to watch some trailers for upcoming movies the other day, and found one for a documentary that should be coming out soon. The title? A Girl and a Gun. My husband and I both own guns, we even have conceal and carry permits (https://gunlawsuits.org/gun-laws/montana/concealed-carry/) though I have not had…
Read MoreThe First Day of Summer
Today is officially the first day of summer, which means it’s also the first official day of the Summer of No Pants 2013. I did up all my official SONP2013 sewing projects before the start of summer, but now it’s time to wear them. I am taking on the almost impossible goal of not wearing…
