random thoughts and stuff :)

I am tired today.  I feel I am about 5 hours behind.. like it should only be 2pm... but yet I could go to bed and not get up until tomorrow.  How does that make any sense? I wish I knew! ha ha!  Harley woke up stupid early.  I opened his door and he had his bottle (yes I know) his blankie, and 3 cars.  He looked sooo tired.  He looked like I felt! lol  I asked him if he wanted to come to bed with mommy.. and off he went, got cuddled in.. but would not stop talking.  Piper (the boxer) was on the bed, and for some reason he thought that was the neatest thing ever, and kept saying "poo pooo" (Piper) over and over and over again! ahhhhh!  No more sleep for us!  Then Molly (the cat) jumped up.. and it was "cat cat cat cat cat" over and over and over again!  Although, he doesn't pronounce the 't' so it was actually "ca ca ca ca ca" over and over! haa!  Then Newt (our other dog) got out of his bed and left the bedroom.. game over!  He took that as wake up time! aahhhhhh!  If the dog is getting up, then he was too!  

When I finally did get some ambition, I came downstairs to work on this. Today was my day to post on the 2 Peas GG blog!  It was 'sketch it out' day.  Fun stuff!  Super simple sketch, but fun and easy!  Just what I needed to get the mojo flowing!  

You can check out the sketch and other info here if you like. :)

By the way.. she definitely didn't get her love for bug collecting from me!  Strange child she is. hee heee!  Kidding of course. Rather proud that she doesn't run screeching at the sight of a spider! ha ha!

I think this is part of the reason I feel so blah today..

Rain rain and more rain.  That is what it looks like out my office window right now.. well 10 minutes ago I suppose.  How is that for my photo for 365 today?  You know you are lazy when.. all you do is lift the camera and take a picture of what is in front of you.. I didn't even have to leave my desk.  Talk about motivation huh!?  Good grief.  I love the rain though.. we have barely got any so far this year.. so this is actually quite nice.  And the new trees have improved soooo much over the last few days!  They are LOVING it!

I think I am going to go curl up on the couch and read a book.  Crack the window a bit and listen to the rain.. snuggle up in a soft blanket... yeah, that sounds about right!

Later!

Hi Jen! I just posted my version of your lovely and inspiring sketch on my blog here: http://creativelyjustme.blogspot.com/2009/07/just-for-fun.html

I have two bug collectors too and one girly girl who screems "SPIN" (= spider) every time she sees a fly or bug. I prefer the collectors....

Have a great weekend!

Hi Jennifer,

I love your blog so much. Can you answer a question for me about your camera?? My hubby just recently bought me a Nikon d90, which I know is very similar to yours. I'm trying to really learn how to use it!! I'm looking into an external flash for it thinking my photos can get even better...do you have an external flash, and if so, which kind? Do you suggest buying one? I would have e-mailed you the question, but couldn't locate your e-mail address on the blog. Thanks again for your help!!

Bethany
