April Photo a Day Challenge
Day 14 - How you feel today.
Well I have felt bright all day so this abstract will have to represent that.
No, they are not bananas.
I may be too old and too grown to carry a wallet with a skull wearing a hairbow on the front, but oh how I love this image. My eldest daughter even had sneakers with a skull wearing a hairbow on them. I bought this wallet at Target a few years ago and have carried it ever since. Plus the inside is PINK! My favorite color. As you can see, I don't have much money in there. I haven't gotten around to taking out cash this payday. I use my debit card for most everything.
This is an old photo that I took in Oia on the island of Santorini. I wanted to take a new photo for the challenge today but realized I could not top this photo.
Trying to pretend it's summer. The sun was shining when I took the shot but what you don't see is the very thick jumper and coat I was wearing at the time!
April photo a day challenge...Something I hate. These boxes contain Christmas decorations. I hate geting them out of the attic every year. Now that we are moving I had to do it again Too soon.
Today I was a terrible mom and made the kids wait a little too long for lunch. BUT it was totally worth the wait. Before lunch, I managed to find myself a super-hot dress for Easter, as well as awesome shoes to go with it. And I got Grace's hair cut, so you can actually see her lovely eyes. Pollard's has The Best fried chicken in Hampton Roads, and this location is where I used to go as a kid. See, I lived here in Norfolk (specifically in Ocean View) when I was little, so to be back in this area after so many years is a little surreal. I'm a Navy brat, you see, so I never was in one place for very long.
But oh man. Pollard's is so worth it. The chicken is juicy and the skin is shatteringly crisp. Plus you get "puffs," sweet little bits of dough, not quite a biscuit and not quite a muffin, with them. They have a special going on now -- 8 pieces of dark meat with 6 puffs for $8.99. I forgot to tell the guy I was military for my discount, so he snuck in a ninth piece. Yum freakin' yum.
And now we have lunch for tomorrow too! It reheats beautifully in the toaster oven.
(If you're admiring Grace's shirt, my super talented friend Yara made it!)
I could spend the whole day drawing with this toy. ♥
My signature is on the upper left corner "Paulinha" is like "Little Paula" in Brazil. :)
Hab ich das schon erwähnt? Did I already mention that? ☺

Tiny trees (stretching todays theme a little!) on a snow covered hill. We had an unusual downfall of snow yesterday. It was over 20c (70f) last week and -2c yesterday...British Weather! Shot taken on my drive into work.
These are two of my most prized photos, though that's a bit problematic as these are the ONLY prints I have of each, and I think both are not-great-quality scans. Anyhow, the photo on the left is my now-husband and me in August 1994, when we first met. I was 15 and he was 20. See, my sister was stationed in Illinois with the Navy, and she flew me out to Chicago to spend some time with her. One of her best friends at the time was this guy named Kurt -- who ultimately became my husband. This is one of the very few photos I have of him with hair -- and you can see my natural color too. The photo on the right was taken about three months after we started dating five years later, when I was 20 and he was 25. I was a student at the College of William and Mary, while he was stationed at the shipyard in Portsmouth, about an hour south of Williamsburg. He came up to be my date at the King & Queen Ball in April 2000. This is one of our first photos together. Now we've been married over ten years, together for twelve, and we have two awesome daughters. I think I really hit the jackpot when I married my husband.
Sometimes my husband drives me so batty that I wish I could trade him in on another model, but most of the time he makes me wonderfully happy. We've been together twelve years, married for ten and a half, and we have two lovely daughters (and two cats) together. Getting an email from him just totally makes my day, even if it's not a romantic love letter. Just knowing he's out there, taking care of us, thinking about us, is enough. I am ever so glad and proud to be his wife.
Day two of the April photo a day. I found this lovely still life on the back porch of Wendy's apartment.
We found this horse shoe in the ground soon after moving into our house.
For April Photo a Day
Day 13 - something you found
Scavenger Hunter Gatherer #60 I found this
Not the most inspired of shots today, but these lovely flowers were a gift from our fab next door neighbours.
April 14 photo a day challenge - How I feel today. Delilah and I did yard work all day at the new house. So this is how we are feeling right now.
April photo a day. April 27. Somewhere I went. We took a day trip to my old hometown of Havre de Grace, Maryland yesterday. My daughter was visiting me from Atlanta and had her girlfriend with her. She wanted to show her where lived as a child. We went to the State Park just outside of the little town and took some photos. So here I am in Susquehanna State Park doing a jump photo in front of the old Mill.
So here we are, on the train from Dublin to Cork. I have my ticket in hand and Mark has his Coke Zero. We are ready for the trip.
This photo was taken in April 2011. But I added to my April photo a day collection for April 2012. I have been busy moving and did not get time to take a good photo of Mark. So I found this one of us smiling on the train from Dublin to Cork last year. Mark makes me happy every day.
Last night I found this fascinating documentary about the Triangle Waist Factory fire on March 25, 1911. It was the deadliest workplace accident in NYC until the fall of the World Trade Centers ninety years later. The one silver lining is that a lot of reforms were put in place after the fire; it's just such a shame that 146 garment workers, mostly young women, had to die before these reforms took place.
I love this kind of stairs.
I took this photo when I was visiting my aunt's clients house some time ago.
Beautiful house by the way.. :)
17 - something you don't like (being sick) 18 - hair 19 - orange 20 - something you drew (giraffe <3)
This afternoon my friend Stephanie (Mrs Riley here on Flickr) dragged me out to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. I've had kind of a rough week, and I thought about telling her we'd go another day, but OH MAN am I glad we went. First off, we started the day with a coffee from Tim Horton's (NOM), and then it was just perfect weather at the Gardens. Low 60s, slight breeze, and unbelievable blue, blue skies. I can't tell you how much this trip cheered me.
Taken in the Colonial Garden.
93/366 ~ I just wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school. I wish that I could bake a cake made out of rainbows and smiles, and we'd all eat it and be happy. From the movie, "Mean Girls"
Things were complicated in Middle School but it was still my favorite time in school. I loved all of my teachers. I remember asking Mr. Case if he could work it out where I could finish my Sophomore - Senior years at Rugby. Times were great way back then! I said it already one time this week but I'll say it again, "My how time does fly!"
