Last day of Blogathon.

I forgot how good blogging and being in touch with all of you makes me feel.

Time for a... FAVORITE THINGS POST!

FAVORITE WEBSITE

 (other than Xanga)

I've really been enjoying  ETSY lately.

I like browsing the shops and being inspired.

One of the many things I enjoy there are the featured artist videos

This is one of my favorites.

Butch Anthony's Museum of Wonder from Etsy on Vimeo.

FAVORITE THING TO DO

Stare into Ben's eyes. 

FAVORITE MUSIC 

If It Be Your Will- Leonard Cohen

The words of this song just speak to me.

 I am totally digging on the Antony version lately.

FAVORITE POST OF THE DAY

There were a few, but this one was about ME...well US... 

It made me feel... proud and very happy to be a part of the Xangan community.

 FAVORITE THING THIS WEEK

BLOGATHON!

You know what to do now!

What's one of your favorite things???

I was going to do my shadow portrait today but I'm having trouble staying awake...

I noticed something, I take a lot of  pictures of my feet...

Why? I don't know!

I like socks.

I like boots.

Especially boots I stole from my little sister that let me take pictures without getting my feet wet.

I like standing on the line?

I like my feet in New York City!

Maybe it's just that they are always with me so their available subjects?

I know I'm not the only one who takes feet, a lot of women on Xanga like the pedicure shot.

Everyone likes having pretty little piggies!

Have you ever taken pictures, repetitively, of something odd?

Before this winter I had never heard of snow thunder, I sure heard of it last night though, boy howdy!

Yesterday it was all gone and today it's here again... So today is a good day to share my wintery snow pictures...

Ice On Rusty Barbed Wire

Bay Watch

When I started my project I carried my camera to work with me everyday, I had to take pictures of SOMETHING...

Frost on the rosebush.

Where Love is Buried

Well... Day three... I'm trying not to hurt my arm while I pat myself on the back.

You guys always make me feel special! 

I've missed you too!

I was trying to do the 365 day photo thing, but I started dropping off at around day 43.

 I liked the challenge, but time is a precious commodity, so I decided to make it a 365 photos challenge for myself and not worry about a time frame. 

I thought I'd show you a few.

I've done a series of my family in a Photoshop, so I'll start with those.

Charlie

He looks like he's pulling his hair out, really his eyes were just watering.

 Mischief thy name is Isabelle..

 Some of you have seen the original of this from when Isabelle was eight.

Back then I posted regularly like a good blogger should!

Isabelle now... She is getting so grown up!

My Honey!

Seedsower says he looks like a werewolf in this...

(I made a mistake in Photoshop and merged without blending... Oops... I was too lazy to go back and fix it... SHHH!)

I think my man is still hot even if he looks a little hairy. 

Mama's Boy

Cooper was great about posing for this... He wanted the tattoo to read something like -Beat It Punk- or -Killer-maybe next time, NOT!  Some day I'll learn how to make better tattoos.

Well that's some of them... I will be showering you with more later!

I think I can... I think I can...

I think I remember how to do this... IT's been so long I can't believe it!

I have to blog something though, it's the beginning of Blog-a-thon week! I think I can manage a week...

I've been meaning to take part in Seedsower's self portrait challenge... so I already have a post for one of my days. I can do this!

 FAVORITE THINGS POST!

(Because it makes me happy)

FAVORITE SONG

Florence and the Machine

Dog Days Are Over

I'm not sure what it means and I can't say I'm terribly fond of the video, but I can't stop singing the song.

FAVORITE FOOD

We can't seem to get enough of these in my house.

One of them feeds  two of my monsters when they need an after school snack.

FAVORITE TOY

My underwater camera.

It takes awful shots, but that doesn't stop me from trying.

FAVORITE SMELL

Warm puppy!

I don't have any new puppy pictures to put with the warm puppy smell, but I'll work on that.

Now my FAVORITE PART!

What's one of your FAVORITE THINGS?

Seedsower's incredible post,

 reminded me that I should do my BEST OF  pictures.

I don't have many, but I'll put up what I have.

This was the year of the fish eye.

 I think that the blush has finally worn off.

It was a good year.

Soon it will be a new year and new pictures will be taken!

I hope you all had a good year.

It's been a very nice Christmas at our house.

Have a Wonderful Christmas!

I miss being a stay at home Mommy. *sigh*

I've been trying to remind myself of how lonely it was.

 I'm still missing it, especially now,  there are holiday parties for the kids classes and their school programs to try to get to.

I am consoling myself with the fact that I get a paycheck and that's something a lot of people aren't able to get right now...

Okay, pity party over...

Moving on.

I took the kids to the pool!

Enjoying life.

Maybe being a bit of a cry baby, but getting over it, I promise.

What did you bring to the pity party?
