SUBJECT: Cart

I hate shopping! I HATE SHOPPING!! Did I mention I hate shopping? We have slim pickings for markets in this part of Podunk, so when I need to do a full-on shopping trip I travel the 17 miles to Walmart. It's not my favorite store, but they really do have the best prices!

“we wouldn't ask why a rose that grew from the concrete for having damaged petals, in turn, we would all celebrate its tenacity, we would all love its will to reach the sun, well, we are the roses, this is the concrete and these are my damaged petals, dont ask me why, thank god, and ask me how”

Are you tired of flower photos yet? I hope not because I'm not tired of finding pretty flowers!

Birthday (156/365)

~*~*~


“Life begins at 40 - but so do fallen arches, rheumatism, faulty eyesight, and the tendency to tell a story to the same person, three or four times.”
~ Helen Rowland

TIME: 7:00 PM
PLACE: Gold Class Cinemas
SUBJECT: Birthday

Cam, husband and I attended a surprise birthday party for one of our friends. Her husband rented out an entire theater at Gold Class Cinemas. We had hors d'oeuvres, watched Iron Man 2 (surprisingly entertaining), had pizza and beer served to us during the movie (if you've never been to a Gold Class Cinema you must go at least once), and then enjoyed cake afterward!

The biggest surprise? Our dear friend doesn't turn 40 until August ... but I think that's why her husband was able to pull this one off!

There is a small group of us doing a "Biggest Loser" contest at work. Every week we weigh in and pay $2 to participate and every week there are 1st and 2nd place winners (based on percentage of weight lost) who win $7 and $3 dollars respectively. We are in week 6 of a 12 week contest and I am proud to say that I've lost 9 pounds in those 6 weeks. I even won the $7 first prize this week!

Bug (152/365)

~*~*~


“The way a child discovers the world constantly replicates the way science began. You start to notice what's around you, and you get very curious about how things work. How things interrelate. It's as simple as seeing a bug that intrigues you. You want to know where it goes at night; who its friends are; what it eats.”
~ David Cronenberg

PLACE: Home Sweet Home
SUBJECT: Bug

I'm a big fan of bugs. Spiders? Not so much, but I love bugs. Summer nights bring out some of the best of them!
