Pre-school graduation. Have I said how much I appreciate that someone thought that dressing up 5 year-olds in mini-graduation gowns and tiny graduation caps would be fun? Because I totally think it's the cutest thing ever. Maybe it's part of my obsession with all things mini. Have we discussed that?? It's true. I love mini things. Mini sharpies, mini staplers, mini post-its... Linda even gave me a mini emory board the first day we met (and I still have it, by the way.)
Oooh. Oooh. Annamaria and I were in the crush of downtown, er... nowheresville today. Yep. Following the little blue signs off the highway looking for a Subway, we ended up two miles from said highway at a Jiffy (gas station) in the middle of nowhere. Funny, though, because EVERYBODY and there brother showed up at the same time we did. This place was PACKED. Seriously, I think maybe we were over the fire marshal's limit...that's how crowded it was. It was NUTS. Of course, it was likely the only thing to eat for like 20 miles...maybe more. It was good though. Or, maybe I was just so hungry by the time I got my food that I would have loved anything.
I wasn't on the ball enough to start Project 365 at the beginning of the year, and had been a little sad that I missed out on doing it. So, right before my 30th birthday earlier this month, I thought up a variation of this idea - to take a picture every day of my 30th year...So, that's what I've been doing. It's pretty cool. I can already tell that if nothing else, it will improve my photoshop skills a thousand-fold. Since I'm taking odd shots - not just our family pics - it's giving me a chance to really play with it. I am loving it. Maybe I'll add an album on here... in the mean time, here is my photo for today...
1. According to Malcolm Gladwell, talent is the desire to practice... that you love something so much, that you're willing to make an enormous commitment to that ability. He was talking about the Beatles... but also applied it to sports or hobbies. I just think that's a really cool way to look at it.
2. GCD Studios has a great give-a-way on the blog...only one day left...don't miss it.
3. Addie was being a goof this morning. And, I have proof...
4. I have a card featured up on the October Afternoon blog this week. Check it out.
5. So, the other day, I decided to put my camera on tripod and snap some photos of me with the girls...and maybe try to get a new headshot of me. And, in doing so, I realized that I did not own a single tube of lipstick. Not even one. Isn't that weird? I thought so. Not to fear, though...I have since solved that problem. Hee hee.
Picture this scene times all day...
I'm kind of a whatever I have on hand will do sort of cook. Yesterday it was black bean soup....and Emily wanted the recipe, so here it is. (Although, I didn't really measure so you'll have to wing it, too.)
So, after the $400 debacle yesterday. I get another prescription sent out and go to pick it up and it's $180. So, I refused that one too. This is insane. We do not have some wimpy inexpensive insurance. We should be getting these sorts of things paid for. They all (the pharmacy, the doctor's office) kept thinking it was a deductible issue. But, I don't remember prescriptions being part of that...and I think it would be something I would know because we have $1000 deductables. So, it's not like that's quick to pass.
