I know I know, I didn’t blog yesterday.  Its ok, I did do my project365 though.  Check my album (to the right) to see my pics from yesterday…

As for today, it seemed to flow by in a huge breeze.  The kids start back to school tomorrow after this extra long Christmas break, so I spent the day doing laundry and re-gathering those backpack items that seemed to disappear over the break. 

After supper tonight, Bug and I curled on the couch upstairs and watched PLANET EARTH on the Discovery channel.  Lots of oooooooo’s and ahhhhhhhh’s could be heard from us BOTH as the hours passed. LOL…

The guys headed downstairs to the big screen and watched House.  I’m really surprised that Bub likes that show.  Its such a “grown up” show.  But he likes it.  Every bit as much if not more then Darrin does.

I got the laundry all finished up, included Darrin’s work clothes and Everyone is snug in bed now, so the house is nice and quiet.  It’s so nice when it’s quiet.

Dances with Wolves is on, and as my eyes started to droop I thought of you guys.  Thought I better get on here and do a quickie so you wouldn’t be thinking I hadn’t been doing my P365.  LOL…

While we were watching Planet Earth, I got the serious jones for something sweet.  I got off my rear and did what I do best and that was fix some of my most favortist yummy unhealthy goodness.  LOL

So for today’s post I thought I would show you a few of my favorite things.

The first of which has NOTHING to do with food. LOL.

One of MY FAVORITE THINGS, is Pantene.  I really don’t think I would have hair withoutt it.  It is the ONLY conditioner I have found that loosens the tangles enough for me to get a comb through my hair when it is wet

. 

My hair is long, THICK, dry, curly, and fuzzy.   The underside at the nape is SOOOO tangley.  I call it my “fro”.

    Pantene is the best!

I rotate between Pantene for CURLS and the next time I buy shampoo I buy Pantene for dry damaged hair.

I dont blow dry my hair or curl it.  I do sometimes iron it out straight, but usually its just in a low pony tail OR sloppy pony tail/bun.   I suppose I need a hair cut.  Its down to the top of my pants in the back.  I did cut it the other day, myself.  You know, the flip your head over and trim, so now I have some layers at least. It does look more healthy then it did when it was all one length. 

I am toying with the idea of giving myself some bangs, but I don’t know.  I like being able to pull it back into a pony tail and ALL OF IT being pulled back.  No little stragglers to get in my face, food, WAY.

My next favorite thing is kind of two things.   It is home made cookies.  Now, I know what you are thinking.  How is that two things?  Well, because I like MAKING THEM almost as much as I like eating them!

tonight I made Peanut Butter Cookies.  Timing was bad.  They came out of the oven right after the kids went to bed, and of course the smell roused everyone back down the hall. LOL…

Scrumptious, chewy, gooey, home made, peanut butter cookies.  There is NOTHING better then home made, fresh baked yummy goodness.

My last favorite thing of course is my camera.  Which gave me a photo for my P365.  {well the cookies are p365 too, but the off shot, just FOR p365… well thats this one}  This one was taken playing with that color accent mode I told you about the other day…

Well, its day two of Jan.  My procrastination must end today. LOL

Im taking a break from taking down all my Christmas decorations to rest my back.  YES, technically Im procrastinating again, but I have gotten a good start on my day, I promise!  LOL…

Mornin Mugshots return!

We used to do posts at DSO called the Mornin Mugshot.  We hadnt done it in quite some time, and sadly I missed it!  Funny how the little odd things satisfy us!  I started the game again today, so swing by DSOs forum, and show us your mornin  mug everyday! 

Click here > Mornin Mugshot Jan 2 - Jan 11 <

This is actually my second pot already this morning.  I really think I need to cut back a little.  I’ve been drinking 3-4 pots a day.

Playing with my camera….

I really hope to learn my camera this year.  I dont mean just aim and click.  I mean really learn how to use it.  I see gorgeous crystal clear photos everywhere and WISH my pictures were that good.  They either are off color, or not clear.  And its not the camera.

My camera is the

Canon PowerShot G9 12.1MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

I have literally had it for a YEAR and have still NOT played with it enough to understand/know how to use all the features!  I”m so mad at myself.  My goal for this year is to take a photography class, and invest in some lenses.

There are tons of things I don’t understand, like when and when NOT to use the flash.  I had someone tell me the other day they NEVER use the flash.  HUH?  All the pictures I take without the flash come out “flakey”  like the pic isnt clear there are little jpg “artifacts”.

I saw some awesome photos on a Project 365 blog I was looking at last night, that used the Color Accent mode in their Canon.  They didnt have the same model as mine, but I thought surely mine would have that mode too, and I drug out the Manual…

SURE ENOUGH!

The Color Accent mode will take the photo in black and white, leaving the color you told it to accent!  Do you know how much time that saves!  I love detail colorization photos, but they are tedious and take for ever to do manually.  Not anymore!  thank you Canon!!!

Here is my tree, with the accent on Green.  See the photo is black and white, with only the greens showing as color. 

Project 365 continues!

I’ve added some links over on the right to my Project 365 Album, so you can go browse my pics anytime you want.  I may only post 1 or 2 on my blog, but they will all go in my Album.   Do you P365? 

Here are some of my shots for today….

Side Notes

I wanted to give a shout out to  my friend Lani!  DSO’s lil Princess is having a BABY!!  YAY Lani!!!!  I cant tell you how PLEASED I am someone I know is having a baby!  DH is getting tired of me buying baby stuff for the dog!!!!  lol!!

and on a sad note…

Our Teriann has lost her mom.  She passed away yesterday after being in the hospital throughout the entire holiday season.  If you could spare a moment to swing by Teriann’s blog, Teriann Hanks, I know she would appreciate it.  She could use some prayers and digital hugs at this time.

Thank You my friends, for visiting me each day.  I look forward to the comments, emails, and feedback you leave me each day!

Week 1 is:  Write a six word epitaph…
mine is simple enough, and proven true today….
“Too much office equals back pain.”
