i resolve to have a resolution

so it has taken me to the middle of january to come up with some new year resolutions. here they are...

1. learn how to sew [i figure it will be advantageous to me since i have to hem EVERYTHING]

2. try to become a pseudo morning person [im planning on getting up at 8 everyday, no matter what, excluding saturdays and sundays.]

3. i had a third one, but ive already forgotten it. i think it was to be proactive. ill just go with that.

so far?.... im working on it.

great outdoors

yesterday, greg and i went to oak mountain state park (located just outside of bham in pelham). it was so fun that is after we drove around in this huge park (has a golf course) looking for the trails. we finally found the trails after a 30 minute search and naturally we chose the "hardest" one. we probably hiked around 4 miles. we took a detour up to some big rocks. the weather was nice. not cold, a little damp though, but not hot either. i wanted to take the dogs but good thing we didnt because it would have been a little difficult for their little legs. so, we are planning on doing more hiking/rock climbing/canoeing etc.

appalachian trail?

birthday girl

sunny turned TWO today. i cant believe she is already two. we celebrated by throwing the tennis ball.

im a proud mama.

merry depressing time of year

i hope all had a very merry christmas!

though, the time right after christmas, makes me very depressed. i hate the day after christmas. as any year, i was in a funk. for some reason, it seemed worse this year. maybe it was because we didnt have kellie and jr (tear) or i didnt have the two weeks off before to anticipate (its all about the anticipation anyway) like i have had the past 5 years. or maybe because i was tired of christmas music since i heard it for over a month for hours on end at pbk. OR just maybe because it wasnt even cold outside; it was HOT!

i still had a very merry christmas. i love christmastime and everything that goes with it (preferably cooler weather). so maybe next year i wont be depressed.

i got a new camera for christmas and accidentally erased all the pictures from christmas day.

attention shoppers:

i made all A's.

i is smart.

im just saying...

i hate when people take photos at an angle to make it "artsy." i also hate when people take photos with a shallow depth of field (when just the very front object is in focus and the rest is a blur). it doesnt make you a good photographer.

im just saying...

ehhhh, no thanks.

why do people ask the question "hey, wanna hear/see something gross?" do you ever WANT to hear/see something gross? is there really an appropriate answer? maybe middle school boys actually WANT to hear/see something gross, but ive never been a middle school boy. it's kind of like "hey, smell this.." again, do you WANT to smell whatever "this" is? i dont. maybe its just me.

kellie, i was inspired by the story of jr and his conjoined twin... yeah "something" gross.
