May project: I like this picture

May 17, 2013

It’s day 17 in the blog every day in May challenge. Today I’m sharing my favorite photo of myself and why.

This picture was taken by Walker this past Thanksgiving. Usually I am not a fan of the pictures he takes of me because I have requested it and he usually is not in the mood. So typically the lighting is bad on my face, or an eye is closed or both, or you can see my double chin look. But on this day he was wanting to take pictures and I had not requested any. He got the light just perfect on my face, the best angle of my face, my eyes are both open, I’m smiling just enough. It helped of course that I had done my hair and makeup but he captured me just right that day and I just love it!

May project: i’m working on it

May 16, 2013

It’s day 16 in the blog every day challenge. The topic today is: Something difficult about your “lot in life” and how you’re working to overcome it.

I have been stumped by this one since the beginning. I don’t know that I have an overwhelming must share answer to this one but I’ll try and give a little insight.

I am one of the worst worriers I know. I’m scared of quite a lot and am always thinking what if. I’m gotten pretty good at distracting myself but more and more I’m realizing it’s better to just deal with it when it comes and then move on.

I’m highly resistant to change and sometimes have a harder time dealing with big changes. I do think I’ve come along way as far as this is concerned. I’ve moved to two new states in the last 5 years and I surprised myself with the ease at which I made the moves. I think I just knew that is order for my life to progress I needed to be ok with it.

I can be extremely sentimental (I may have mentioned this). This leads me to hang on to way too many things. My old room at my dad’s house is filled with things from the past that I just haven’t been able to part with. I’ve decided something though. Every time I visit I must get rid of at least 15 items from my room. I know there are quite a few things I would like when I have a house of my own but there are tons of things that just need to go and are keeping me stuck.

What about you?

May project: my typical day

May 15, 2013

It’s day 15 in the blog every day challenge. Today’s prompt are showing photos from a typical day.

Currently I’m visiting family in Michigan so my day yesterday was anything but typical but I’ll share anyhow (also there are a lot of feet pictures). These were all taken with my iphone so the quality is perhaps not the best.

-My mom owns a salon and spa so I went into work with her to catch up on some blogging and try out an easy curl effect under the dryer.
-Then I took a lunch break (leftover vegan pad thai) and read a book.
-Then my mom sweetly offered to give my a much needed pedicure. I read a few magazines.
-I cuddled with my mom’s little dog a lot. We had some good laughs when I put my scarf on her.
-I went to jazzercise with my mom (she goes most days and is a little off her schedule with my visit).
-We made meatless tacos for dinner.
-And ate them outside until it got too chilly.
Then we lazied around and watched a few tv shows.

What’s a typical visiting family day like for you?
