Little Yellow Bird

My snarled brain.

I've been on a bit of a blogging hiatus lately.  I'm sure you've noticed, or not, since I don't know if anyone even reads my blog.

It's a little bit of I have nothing of value to share, and a little bit of I'm too worn out to make the effort to share my thoughts.  Mostly the first, with a fair sprinkle of the second.

Most of the things going on in my snarled brain consist of the following.  Trying to find a rental house to move into BEFORE the new baby comes.  Planning out contingencies.  If we DO find a house, figuring out how I'm going to pack and move at 9 months pregnant.  If we DON'T find a house, I really should put some effort into decorating that empty room for the baby.  Finding a unisex color scheme for the nursery, figuring out how to repurpose Roman's old baby items, wading through neutral color clothes, blankets, etc.  Planning and outlining my dream business of starting my own Photography Studio.  Trying to find the energy to shoot sessions to build my portfolio, outlining the business plan, finances, and the other million steps it takes to get to where I can freelance successfully after the baby is born. 

I'm sure I'll figure it all out, but in the mean time, I think I'll have a nap.

Love, T.

Project 365 - Day 24

June 30, 2010

Ugh, grocery day.  The bane of my existence.  I would rather scrub a public toilet with a toothbrush than have to go grocery shopping.  I would rather eat PBJ's for a week than get groceries.  Today, I had to brave the crazies at Walmart and do the dirty deed.  SO glad it's over until next week!  Then I get to do it all over again.

Project 365 - Day 23

June 29, 2010

Today was Roman's last day of school at his Mother's Day Out program.  This is him with his teacher, Ms. Patti.  We have a busy summer planned, so we decided to pull him out.  After I picked him up from school, we had a surprise visit to the park, which was so much fun!  This boy loves to slide.

Project 365 - Day 22

June 28, 2010

I went to the gym today and discovered that I can no longer ride the treadmill.  Our local YMCA has great treadmills, but they don't recline.  Therefore, the whole time I'm riding, I'm kneeing myself in the baby...very painful after a couple of minutes.  I'll have to stick to the elliptical and treadmill for the next three months.

I can't pick just one photo from today, and I'm not going to even try.  We took Roman on his first fishing trip tonight, and I as usual took an obscene number of photos.  Here are my favorites.

 

Project 365 - Day 20

June 26, 2010

Spent the afternoon at the pool with Mike and Roman.  Did you know a Native could burn this bad?  Yeah, me either!  Mike hiked up his shorts to get a little sun on his whiter parts, and came away with a burn worthy of any pale skin.  :)  Sheesh, I didn't even burn this bad during my first layout of the summer!

Project 365 - Day 19

June 25, 2010

I did a whole lot of resting today, and trying to catch up on household chores after being gone, so the result being that I didn't take one photo today.  So, today's photo is actually from my niece's birthday party...my sister had it at her house, and since I had gotten my new camera that very morning, I was taking pics of anything and everything!  She had this beautiful orchid plant in her kitchen...it was exquisite and the perfect subject to play with my Macro setting!

Project 365 - Day 18

June 24, 2010

Today was our last day in Wichita.  I spent a few minutes in the morning, swinging in the hammock and reading.  It. Was. Perfect.  I WILL have a hammock at my next house, even if I have to buy a stand to put it on!  Utterly peaceful.

Thanks to Uncle John and Aunt Debbie who put us up for two nights, catering to two pregnant ladies!  Your house is beautiful, and you both are even more so.  I will be back!  However, next time, I am bringing a fan.  :)

Project 365 - Day 17

June 23, 2010

Finally, Michael Buble' time!  I was feeling icky for most of the concert, but it was still a wonderful time.  Man, that boy can sing!  I wanted to take my pic with his likeness, but waited until I had to sneak out for a potty break so there was no line...thanks to the kind lady who volunteered to take my pic, and was patient while I asked for three shots!  I wasn't quite tall enough to plant a smack on his cheek, but it'll do.  :)  I'll post more on the Wichita trip in a separate post.

Project 365 - Day 16

June 22, 2010

Headed to Tulsa to pick up Shelley, then on to Wichita for the Michael Buble' concert!  Can't wait to see him shake his money maker, and spend some time with my cuz.  Watch out backyard pool, here comes two preggos in bikinis!

And yes, I do take my own pillows wherever I go.  You would too if you had back problems!  Before pregnancy (BP), I only took three, now I'm up to five counting my wedge.  I need a bigger back seat.  :)
