Day 23 – Placeholder

So far each day’s Project365 picture has been one that I’ve taken the day before.  But for this weekend, I’m doing something a little differently.  The theme of the Digital Photography School‘s weekend challenge this week is “Good Morning“, so I’m going to take a picture of something, I don’t know what, pretty such as soon as I wake up in the morning.

I’ll replace this post in the morning.  But in the meanwhile, if anyone wants to leave a comment with a picture suggestion, please feel free to do so!

The view out my window?
My bed head?
Morning wood?

You get the idea ;-)

Birthdays and Friday Fill-ins

 Tagged with: , ,

Early yesterday morning my nephew was born!  He was a week overdue, which thrilled my sister and brother-in-law to no end *note sarcasm*.  During the delivery my sister spiked a fever, so the little guy is in the neonatal ICU.  As it turns out, he has some sort of infection in his blood, so he’ll have to stay in the hospital for a few more days while he gets some IV antibiotics.  His mother and father are understandably stressed about the whole thing, especially my brother-in-law, who lost a child with his first wife when he was only a matter of a few days old, so this is bringing up some painful memories for him.  Any my dad is grumpy because he hasn’t gotten to hold or even meet his newest grandchild yet, since he went to the NICU before my dad got there and only parent are allowed in the NICU.

On a slightly happier not, this weekend is MY BIRTHDAY!

What the fuck is my problem? I’m turning 40, what’s there to be happy about?  lol…

Hold off on the birthday wishes, if you’re so inspired, it’s not until Sunday!

I’m on my own with the kids tonight- Veronica has a conference in Boston today and tomorrow with social events this evening, so she’s staying in the city tonight.  How will I ever manage to amuse myself once the kids are in bed? ;-)

==============================================================================

And…here we go!

1. You have a chance to put a smile on my face on my birthday.  Check back on Sunday :-)
2. I’m drinking a beer and listening to PP watch Wonder Pets right now!
3. There is a good chance of naughtiness tomorrow night!
4. I don’t like to buy something now and pay later.
5. It’s time to figure out what I’m making for dinner.
6. Whether Darling Boy is going to karate class tomorrow or not is up in the air but I’m definitely taking Princess Persistent to dance class.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to hanging out with my kiddos, tomorrow my plans include dinner out with Veronica, a visit to a swingers club, then a night in a hotel (my dad is coming up on Saturday and watching the kids for us!) and Sunday, I want to celebrate my birthday with my family!

Day 22- The Little Things

 Tagged with: ,

It’s been said that it’s the little things in life that matter.

You see that little cotter pin in the Vise-Grip?  You see the yoke in the background, connected to nothing? When the previous cotter pin broke, the linkage that connects the control handle to the discharge shoot came apart.  And with that, I couldn’t control the direction of the snow, effectively taking my snowblower out of commission.

The cost to fix it? I bought a package of 5 cotter pins for $0.53!
