Day 11: in the Blue Room

Day 11:  Something Blue

The wall in Luke's room. In typical "Luke" fashion, he loves pointing out the ball lights every morning. "Mah ball momma. Mah ball."

Day 10: College Memories

Day 10:  Childhood Memory

Not exactly a "childhood" memory, but now that I am officially 10 years out of college it might as well be. Along with working all weekend at our big alumni reunion event, I also got to celebrate my 10 year reunion! Yikes!

Here I am with Diana in our sophomore year dorm room. She put up with my messiness and passive aggressive tendencies for 3 years! There should be an award for that. :)


And here is my son about to throw a ball at the head of her unsuspecting 8-month-old. Man, I kind of owe her...

Still Recovering...

I'm still trying to get over last weekend's work event. We've gotten to take off early the last two days, but with no actual down time for almost two weeks I'm struggling to get myself back on track. Even going to bed at 8pm the last two nights hasn't worked. Still exhausted. Yawn...

I have a couple of pictures to post for the photo challenge, but I keep falling more and more behind and haven't had much motivation for anything beyond sleep, work and Luke.

Hopefully I'll be back with more energy very soon!

Day 9: I love my boys!

Day 9:  Someone You Love

Here are two of my favorites. We bbq'ed tonight for some friends before leaving an almost-in-bed Luke with Grammy and Grandad so the grownups could go see The Hangover 2. Dirty business, but a nice little respite before the craziness of our 3-day alumni weekend event begins tomorow.


I'll be working 14-16 hour days tomorrow and Saturday, and another 8 on Sunday, so bear with me if I have to play catch up on these posts next week.


Too tired to link to the list of challenges...see previous posts for the 30 day list. Adios!

Day 8: Birthdays and Bad Habits

Day 8:  A Bad Habit

I love Starbucks. I love it. I used to get by on a once a week fix. Now I feel like I need it every. single. day. I breathe a little sigh of complete and total satisfaction when I stab my straw into that beautiful iced grande (Venti on Thursdays) chai tea latte. I hate that I crave the caffeine and the mini emotional high that it gives me, but try as I might I just can't quit this bad habit.



And since today is MY birthday, I shouldn't have to. :)

Day 7: Low hanging fruit

Day 7:  Fruit


My husband's aunt and uncle own this company. I'm not a huge fan of berries (the seeds gross me out), but these strawberries are amazing! Fun strawberry trick:  dip them in sour cream and then roll in brown sugar. Sounds weird, but it's one of the greatest things I've ever tasted! (And it covers up the seeds.)



I had already planned on the above photo for my fruit post. Then I went in the backyard and saw that this tree was sporting a pair of pears just for me. "Pear for Perry!" as we like to say.

Day 6:  From a low angle

I'll admit I haven't been super excited about the last two day's challenges.

Oh well, what I am excited about is this guy having fun outside with me after work today!
