happy graduation to me

well, I have to hand it to you, Guessers! Nice job! The first correct guess was by Sami over at Sailor and Company. She thought the picture in the post below was a lens cap...and it is!





Arizona Mama guessed the correct brand!

I'd been saving and then wanted to put my graduation money toward one. I decided to go with a used one. I know I didn't need to get such a nice one, but I wanted room to grow. Plus, I found a good deal that came with a lens and accidental warranty. WIN WIN!

So without further adieu...

You know, I really should have done a giveaway. However, I would have had a hard time deciding whether to award Arizona Mama or Sami...

Camera bag (from Etsy) that already has dog hair on it. Shocking, I know.


Strap, also Etsy



And since it can't take a picture of itself... I present to you my slightly used Canon 40D with 28-135mm lens.


I have no idea what I'm doing! :)

A Reveal

Can you tell what I got?

*Update...man, you all are good!! Post coming soon to reveal!

Not Me! Monday

*edit...I DID do one last week. I guess it was so boring even I forgot about it! ha!

I do believe I missed this last week...mostly because I tried to come up with something but was lacking in anything interesting. May be the case this week also. Guess you'll be the judge.

Here we go. Check out MckMama's site for more Not Me's!



During the Super Bowl I did not sleep through the first and second quarter.

I did not bring a book with me to my aunt's for the Super Bowl, knowing full well I was not just there for the family gathering and food.

When told I had been sick this past week the following did not come out of my mouth "I was NOT! What came out of my nose was clear-every time! Not green!"

At a friend's house over the weekend I did not have to sit out of the hot tub twice in the course of 1/2 hour because I will literally faint if I stay in for more than 15 minutes at a time. Thanks to low blood pressure I guess. Party pooper.

When I went to turn the little heater on in my room after church it did not read 45 degrees- INSIDE-in my bedroom!!! brrrrr

I certainly don't currently have a wet bathing suit and towel sitting in my overnight bag. Probably smelling moldy...I always unpack the minute I walk through the door!

That's all folks!

little something I made tonight

Just a little different focus

Obviously I made the bracelet, not the ring. I showcased the ring here.

too many thoughts running through my head

Ever have one of those days (weeks, months) when you just can't seem to turn your brain off? After a while you are just plain tired of thinking!

Sometimes I would like to get inside my own head and say "shut up already"! How can I really have that much to think about?!

Sometimes I like to think about puppies and kittens and ice cream and...ok, ok. Yeah right. Although I DO think about puppies. Aren't they so cute.

ahem

Right. Thoughts. Too many of them. All the time. Make me tired.

Are you wishing I didn't have anymore thoughts so I would just stop writing this post?

Yeah?

Ok.

I aim to please.

I'll just be off thinking about this face:

Your Unfailing Love

Your Unfailing Love

When the darkness fills my senses
When my blindness keeps me from Your touch,
Jesus come


When my burden keeps me doubting
When my memories take the place of You
Jesus come


And I'll follow You there
To the place where we meet
And I'll lay down my pride
As You search me again


Your unfailing love, Your unfailing love,
Your unfailing love over me again

Not Me! Monday

It was SO not me last week who quickly examined my tissues after use several times to check the color of what was coming out of my nose. I am not totally paranoid about getting sick, so I certainly would not do something SO gross.

It was not me who was SO freezing the other night that I threw my perfectly dry, clean clothes in the dryer to warm them up. I don't consider warmth more important than the electric bill.

Now, go and fess up on your own blog...ahem, please, of course! AND if you are so inclined, check out what everyone else is SO not doing via MckMama's blog!
