As you reflect on the fact that one of these fine trinkets is what you REALLY wanted for Xmas, may I wish all those who regularly pass this way a Happy New Year 2016.
Thanks for your interesting photos and posts. Thanks also for your comments and faves during 2015. They are always appreciated.
I've been tagged by Jave to post a self portrait and share 10 things about myself. So, the following are 10 things that may (or may not) surprise you about me:
1. I am a survivor. I've had a heart attack, and many heart surgeries to go with it. I have been very close to death several times. I feel great now, but my experiences have shaped who I am today. I don't take life for granted--I know it can be taken away at any moment. I fill my life with things and people who make me happy. My story has been printed in a book about women and heart disease, and I am a spokesperson for the American Heart Association.
2. I am an "Indian" Princess. Well, sorta. My great (x6!) grandfather was Chief Pahu-cka (White Hair) of the Osage Nation. He got his name from an incident in his youth where, in battle, he tried to "scalp" an officer who was wearing a white powdered wig. The officer escaped, leaving Pahu-cka holding his wig. The town of Pawhuska in Oklahoma is named after him. I'm very proud of my Native American heritage (and I think a great (x6) grandfather Chief qualifies me to be a princess...right? ;-)
3. I love animals. I love to watch them, interact with them, photograph them. I get such joy out of them all (except spiders.) I once rescued a mouse from my swimming pool, blowdried him (which he loved!), gave him a snack, and set him free. I've volunteered summers at a wildlife rescue, rehab, & release center.
4. I am a tomboy at heart. As "girly" as I may seem, I actually hate most things "girly." I HATE shopping. I don't care about jewelry or shoes or purses or bows or dolls. I grew up climbing trees and playing army and "Star Wars" with the boys in my neighborhood. I love muscle cars. I love sports, but not to watch--I'd rather be playing them. I played soccer for most of my childhood, pitched fastpitch softball, was QB on my high school "powderpuff" football team. I love boating and kayaking. I want to learn to ride a dirtbike. I drive a mustang.
5. I am a rocker. Mostly. I love rock music and metal. I love going to rock concerts. But occasionally I'll listen to things more mellow. I've had guitar lessons. I am a former "band geek." I used to play saxophone and clarinet in my school jazz band (but don't tell anyone! ;-)
6. I am in love. I met my "love" when I was 12 years old, and have been in love with him ever since. Granted, there have been lots of "ups" and quite a few "downs" since we were 12, but the wonderful times well outweigh the bad. We've grown up together, been sick, scared, & stressed together, and made it through all that. We've giggled together, adventured together, learned together, built a life together. We will be married 9 years this summer.
7. I can laugh at myself. I come from a family of "smartasses." They love to tease and make fun of people. I learned early that I can either get mad when they pick on me, or learn to laugh WITH them and dish it right back. Beware. I can be obnoxious.
8. I suffer from Mathitis. I really do. Mathitis is a debilitating affliction of the left hemisphere of the brain. When people start talking about things that involve numbers (like aperture!) my eyes cross, my brain gets all foggy, and I stop listening. It can be really confusing for me sometimes to dial a phone or count money in my wallet. (Ha ha. Ok, JUST KIDDING! I don't have a math disease...but I'm really really really bad at math.)
9. I'm shy. No, really, I am. Some of the time. I am a complete chicken about some things. I get nervous calling people on the phone. I don't like to say "hi" first. I don't like to go places by myself. However, I LOVE to be social--I love to laugh and be silly and sarcastic and crazy, so if I feel comfortable with the people or the situation, I'm completely the opposite!
10. I love to learn. At least I do now. I was waaaay too busy being social to bother with learning (school-type things) in middle school and High School. After barely gradutating High School with a 1.6 GPA, I signed up for college the following fall with a new attitude. I graduated from a great University with a degree in English Literature and Writing (which explains the length of this "about me.") I now teach 2nd grade and love it (except for the math.) I love to teach history and science. I love to see my students apply what I've taught them. I love their questions and their cute comments. What's even more wonderful is that the kids teach me something new every single day.
10. I tend to ramble. Oh, wait, math again. I already did 10, didn't I?
Anyway, if you got this far--that's me! :-) I didn't include that I have a passion for photography, because I think that's evident.
Please feel free to ask about, comment on, or make fun of any of the above. :-)
I'm supposed to "tag" ten people, but instead, I'm going to DARE you all to tag yourselves here and do it too. :-)
I realize that some people cannot stand the Light and the Heat....in my Eyes.......and they must disable comments.......but I love them anyway. 💞
I have come to realize......
Nobilities, indecencies, heroic impulses, cowardly ravings, good and bad, white and black — the mystery of mysteries, the central island of nescience in a sea of science, the dark spot in the lighted room of knowledge, the unknown quantity, the X in the universal problem.

I Dare You
The xx
I'm in love with it
Intoxicated
I'm enraptured
From the inside I can feel that you want to
Wake up high on it
Feel it suspending
I'm enamored
Way up in the sky I can see that you want to
I've been a romantic for so long
All I've ever had are love songs
Singing oh-oh-oh
Go on, I dare you
Oh-oh-oh
I dare you
I get chills
Heartbreak multiplies
I'm on a different kind of high
A rush of blood is not enough
I need my feelings set on fire
Now I'm deep in it, infatuated
Strong attraction
Side by side, and I know that you want to
I've been a romantic for so long
All I've ever had are love songs
Singing oh-oh-oh
Go on, I dare you
Oh-oh-oh
I dare you
I can hear it now like I heard it then
Singing oh-oh-oh
Go on, I dare you
Oh-oh-oh
I dare you
Oh-oh-oh
Go on, I dare you
Oh-oh-oh
I dare you

Way back in another life, I remember well the moment I saw this photo. Here was someone whose photos I had followed for some time, always impressed, often envious, sometimes even jealous. Watching what she shot, how she shot it, wondering how she got the results she did. Thinking that well, I could learn that if I tried. Then Guido and Bruno appeared. This photo completely blew me away. The colours, the composition, the bokeh. I would never have shot at this angle. I would never have cropped part of that flower away. I would never have oversaturated the green that far. The photo made me reassess my approach to photography. It made me look at the world in a completely different way through different eyes. It made me realise that there was an artist here creating some stunning works and then envy and jealousy are petty things best ignored in favour of admiration and awe.
So here is a five month late homage to Guido and Bruno. Thanks, chaps. You did good.
And there is pink there, rly. Look, up there. No, there! See?

In the beginning, my breast cancer diagnosis seemed to consume me. There were so many questions, so few answers and a lot of confustion.I had so many decisions that had to be made SOOO quickly!
I like this pic (ally/buildings/couch) because it reminds me that I AM STILL IN THIS WORLD! Daily, I choose to look cancer in the eye. Everyday is a choice.
I am/was in this world. I was dead center in the middle of the road. I had no idea what I really saw in the mirror..nor in these photos. Who the hell is that chick? She looks pretty tough.
This one is quite tiny one ..appearance is certainly deceptive here ..but was quite fearless .. Had posted his photo once ..but i liked his attitude so much could not resist posting another one ..
A girl has the right to change her mind, right? This was originally my 365 Reject. I have since deleted my original 365 for today and have chosen this one instead. I hope you don't mind. Carry on.
For my graduation speech, I came up with a bunch of serious & funny dares for my fellow classmates to try in their lives. Thank goodness it was a hit, I was nervous! Anyways, it is what inspired me to create my own stop motion video. I posted information about it here on flickr, but didn't have much interest, so I deleted it. However, I still have a group on facebook.
If you are interested, go here.
Anyways, took this up in Ripon, earlier this week.

I gave a speech at graduation about how I dared every member of my graduating class to try different things throughout life,. I then saw Cody Smith's "I am" video on flickr, sparking this stop motion collaboration idea.
For being my first stop motion collaboration, I don't think we did too shabby! Thank you all for participating!

Finished product: Boneless pork chops in applesauce "gravy," garlic & chive mashed potatoes, vegetable medley and crescent rolls.
RECIPE:
I had bought a pork loin on sale several weeks ago, and had it sliced into boneless chops, and brought it home and froze it in several meal-size packages. Got one of those out to thaw in the fridge a couple of days ago, and it was ready to cook tonight.
The chops were VERY lean, as in trimmed of all fat, so I drizzled a little olive oil onto a heated, heavy pan, then browned the chops on both sides. Once that was done, I removed them to a casserole dish.
Go back to the pan, still on the stove, with the leftover olive oil and pork bits. Add about twice as much minced garlic as you would if you were working with fresh garlic, to taste, and brown it. Add water that's already hot (I heated mine to almost boiling in the microwave, because I don't cook with water from the hot-water tap, and neither should you, bleccch), say about 1 cup per pound of meat. Then, sprinkle in some flour, at a ratio of about 1/3 as much flour as water. Cook at a low boil, stirring, until it thickens up, then add about a heaping cup of applesauce per pound of meat, and a splash of balsamic vinegar (lemon juice would also work fine). Cook that down just a bit, a few minutes, then pour the mixture over the pork chops in the casserole dish. Add cinnamon if you like. Bake at a low temp, about 350 degrees F, uncovered, for an hour.
The side items are all pretty much prepared and straightforward, but are detailed in this post. Good eatin'!

Just another picture to get all of ya's down to the MOCpages page
The story behind this strange picture is below. Arnaj is a boy/girl who lives in another universe. He has managed to reach the moon of his home planet...
"Arnaj spent the next week having a party with the beige 1xn Lego bricks which lived on the moon. They called their home 'OMGIMSOGUNNANUEKUNOOBS' but Arnaj preferred 'the Moon'. They partied from seven in the morning to one o'clock the next day, with excessive booze and some weird drugs that grew on the surface of the Moon. At the end of the first week, Arnaj had the greatest hangover known to man. She thanked the 1xn Lego bricks and left their camp (which they called 'OURPIMPEDOUTBRICKCAMPWHATSGUNNAKILLYA') in search of other citizens of the moon."
