Wordless Wednesday:
Too bad my cell phone didn't do this photo justice. It was a lovely day on my bike ride.

Look!!! Never thought I'd want an e-reader, but this is such a fascinating tool. I'm drooling over the books that are just a download away. My reading passion has definitely been KINDLED.
I guess I've just entered a new era.

This is one of my favorite baby pictures of myself. I still get this much enjoyment out of napping. Aaahhh...
This week I discovered the fastest way to lose weight is to get a haircut. I had this much hair. It was driving me nuts, and I was ready for a change.
a difference that feels like. I wasn't entirely sure I loved it the first day and was even nervous the next day when I was styling it. Two days into the new cut, and I think I like it.
There are several things I miss about camp. One of them is fishing. I caught a few fish while I was there. You probably didn't take me for a fisherwoman, did ya?
Another thing I miss are the sunsets on the lake. Just water, trees and sky.
My sister needed a babysitter this afternoon, so I agreed to look after her 7-year-old twins. The other two kids went to camp today. I decided it might be fun to go on an outing, rather than me just sitting at her house all day while the kids played with the neighbors. Or worse yet, invited the neighbor kids over.
So the plan was made. We would go to the zoo. I was told that my rating as an Aunt would go through the roof. We shall see how that plays out in weeks to come.
It was a fun afternoon. We saw some cool animals.
We were captivated by some very hungry fish!

They begged me to ride the train.
And I think we bonded a little.
You know what? I'm pooped out.
Alright, I guess the bedroom is as finished as it's going to get... for now. I still want at least two more items for the walls, like another complimentary picture or some sort of decorative thing in a butterfly motif. We also need closet door pulls to be installed, but they won't make or break the look.
I think the photos show the paint to be much grayer than it is in person, but this is the best I could do. I'm sure lighting has everything to do with it.
Love the new curtains and white mini-blinds. They brighten up the room.
This is a picture that was a birthday gift. The color choice for the walls was based on this picture alone, and I've been waiting 6 months for the room to be painted in order to hang it.
I think Dixie feels pretty comfortable with the color choices.
Hmmm... Is this April or December? Doesn't this picture just scream Spring? Just makes you feel chipper and ready for a new week, doesn't it?
Um... not exactly.
This is what we woke up to in northern Indiana this morning. Wet, slushy snow! Looks like they're calling for more of the same tomorrow, too. I guess I'll hold my breath for Sunday when the forecast is calling for 60 degrees.

I've been tagged again, which hasn't happened in quite some time. My bloggy friend, Ronnica over at Tale of a Kansas Girl, wanted me to post with this photo meme. So here's the deal:
This is the picture I found in the specified folder. It's my dog Dixie, who is the doggy love of my life. There's really no story behind the photo. I just enjoy snapping shots of my dog, and this one is particularly sweet. She's sort of tossing her head back, so she appears a tad glamorous. Don't you think?
I don't feel like tagging anyone today. If you want to post this one yourself, then go for it...and leave a link to your post in my comments so I can check it out.
A few weeks ago I went to the ceramics studio with my sister and painted a sugar bowl. I think it turned out fabulous, if I do say so myself.
And as I often do, I gave this one away to a friend.
...look what I made for lunch today.
It's a Hawaiian omelette made with ham, pineapple and cheddar cheese. Isn't it pretty?
So how many miles do you think I'll get out of these babies?
This picture was taken right after I finished my big run yesterday. (Go ahead. Click on that link and see what you missed yesterday.)
Dear Friend (you know who you are),
Thank you for always respecting my love for the Mouse. Not everyone sympathizes with my longing for the Happiest Place on Earth. It really is a magical place. You just have to believe. Some only mock. I shudder to think of it.
But you have always nurtured my desire for all things Disney, and I appreciate that so much. Like today when you gave me these...
Nothing says I love you like a pair of Mickey socks.
Thanks,
Liz
Well, here is a rare picture and, unfortunately, not one of my best. I would've primped a little more, but Rich was ready to take the photo NOW. I hate having him help me because he always wants to know what I'm taking pictures for. By now he should know it has something to do with OhAmanda.com And, of course, once again that would be the case.
This is me, Mom & Kathy at our church Christmas banquet a couple weeks ago. It's very rare to get a picture of us all together, so this is particularly nice.
Does anyone else get a kick out looking through their old photo albums? Since I'm scrounging for my Christmas pics, I'm going through everything. I found this school picture from the 4th grade, and I realized that my hair is about as long now as it was then. It's rare to find me with long hair because I've worn my hair short for many years. Just thought I'd share....mostly cuz I'm addicted to blogging.
It bugs me that I haven't written a thing since Thanksgiving. It isn't that I haven't tried to, but it's more like I've been feeling some weird emotional stuff that sort of caught me off guard. I want to get back at this writing thing, though, so here I am. It'll be a quick one because it's Sunday afternoon, and you know where I will be - napping! Need to get that in before I go back to church for choir practice.
Over Thanksgiving I was able to scrounge through photo albums at my parents' house, and I found some good Christmas pictures from childhood. Unfortunately, I also found some old school pictures that I would just as soon forget about. (sigh) Back to the Christmas stuff... the memories have been stirring, and I'm going to have some to share in my December blogs now and some photos to show, too. You're welcome to come back for the ride down memory lane with me.
