Skillz Hodgepodge

1. Have you ever played golf? Any interest in playing? Do you have a significant other who loves to play? Did you watch The Masters this past weekend? Ehh not a full game, I've practiced putting and driving. It's ok, but I'm happy to let that be a husband thing..... And no we never watch golf on TV.

2. Hats are back in fashion this spring...how do you feel about wearing a hat? (fyi-I'm not talking baseball caps) When was the last time you wore one? I adore hats... I wear them a lot, but not recently, I need a new summer hat mine was crushed last year.

3. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 meaning proficient and 1 meaning "I'd starve", how adept are you at using chopsticks? I would say a 7 or 8. I can eat just about anything, even rice, but I have to think about it while I'm doing it, it isn't something I can do mindlessly.

4. Has technology taken over? Yes, and I'm not sure if I think that's a good thing or a bad thing.

5. In the course of a day how often do you look in a mirror? Maybe 5 times, and 3 of those are accidental. I am a morning and night mirror person. Although I did Zumba tonight in front of a mirror.... yikes.

6. Tulip or Daffodil? Tulip, it's my all time favorite flower.

7. I am proud of myself for __________________. I am proud of myself for a lot of things, but I would say that the number one thing I am proud of myself for is taking my un-athletic self and training myself to become someone who enjoys working out.

8. Insert your own random thought here. So tired, Zumba tonight was roasting in the new room, it made me super tired. So that's all I can think of right now.

Photo a Day April 6th

Today I combined my two prompts, they were Take a photo from a low angle and Cross. So here we go.

Photo a Day April 5

Today was a challenge, really. I don't think I got anything for my second prompt that is worth showing so I will be perusing my old stuff.... Hey at least I'm being honest about it.


The first prompt was From a High Angle.

The second prompt was wrinkles, and all I thought was "I am NOT going to take a close-up of my face in an effort to find a wrinkle." Then I thought about taking a picture of my ironing pile and that wasn't something that sounded like any fun either.... so you got two for the first one. 

Picture a Day, April 4th

Today was a lot harder than the other days have been. I think because the prompts were open for interpretation.
The first was Green, well there isn't a lot of green here, so I went with a growing thing that made me smile, my flowers are blooming.

The second prompt was ritual.... that was a lot harder. I was going to take a picture of P-nut napping, but she didn't get one yesterday, so here it is....

April 3, Photo a Day Challenge.

Look at me all on top of things and actually posting on the day I should.

Ok here we go, the first prompt was clouds, which was harder than it sounds. There were no clouds today until late this afternoon. Gorgeous Blue skies all day, which I am totally not complaining about.

The second prompt was Gas.... which then prompted me to spend 3 hours scrubbing my stove.... I

have been working on getting the black crud off this stove for 4 years.... as you can see it's still there.

April 2, Photo a Day

Yes, I realize I am behind a day, but I think I am just going to do this for a while, that way I have all day to take the pictures.

The first prompt was "What I wore today" And after a lot of tried taking a picture of myself I decided that those pictures were ok, but the ones of my girls doing their "fashion show" were so much more fun.

The second prompt was soil, well we don't have much soil here in the desert. So I took a picture of the dry desert earth.

Picture a day challenge... April 1

So I decided to combine two different photo challenges and I will be either combing them into one photo, or doing both. So here is the link to the first and here is the link to the second

 But Oh the excitement! I got a new Camera! I have finally moved up in the world from my point and shoot to a DSLR. DH got me the Nikon D5100, I'm loving it.


The first prompt is a self- portrait, I am not really a fan of taking pictures of myself, so after many, many, many pictures this is the one I chose. Enjoy!

The second one is Fool. So I thought I would share these that I took of the girls being silly.

And just for fun, one that the hubby took last week at lunch.
