I am SO done!!

It's the ending of an ERA actually!

All the blood, sweat, tears and cussing of the past year, finally has some meaning.

If you are not a reader of my blog you probably have NO idea what I am talking about. Heck! Even if you do read my blog you probably still don't have any idea of what I am talking about.

Here is a hint........

I FINISHED MY PROJECT!!!!!!!

Actually I finished it about a month ago but just recently shared the last picture. So now I am what you would call "officially" finished.

I have learned so much about myself over the past year. I have also learned that there are a lot of weirdos out there that like feet!

If you like you can see my entire 365day project by clicking on the links below.

Now I just have to figure out what to do now.

People must really like bananas

I had a lovely surprise when I visited my flickr account last night. My green banana hat picture that I posted yesterday had over 66 hits! (This afternoon it is now up to 76 hits) Not only that but my total account had 252 hits! Just for yesterday! My most popular picture only has 289 hits and the rest maybe average 10/20 hits ever. I cannot believe that THAT many people came to see my pictures yesterday.

Now only if they would comment and tell me if they are any good. LOL!

Who knew that bananas would be the way to go? Today's topic (if I chose to accept it) is "The Eyes." Normally I would LOVE to do a photo of my eyes, but lately they seem to always be bloodshot. Now how sexy is that? I don't think I can ever top the excitement of a green banana hat though. Everyone that participated had the best pictures and one even made it to Explore! If you check it out, you'll see why. It cracks me up everytime I see it. They were all hilarious and so very creative.

Everyone needs a green banana hat!

Believe me, they are ALL the rage!

All the cool kids have one!

Just wait! Green Banana Hats will be on the cover of all the savy magazines this coming season!

C'mon! You know you wanna!

I never had so much fun taking a self-portrait. I guess I need to use more props. Props = FUN!

You know what isn't fun? School. It is very hard being back at school after a 3-day weekend. I am SO running out of time to finish. Not the time the school has given me, which is until May. But the time I have given myself. My own personal finish line. I need to finish by the time I set for myself or else I will go bananas. LOL!

See this picture?

It is such a silly little picture. However it has now become my most popular photo on Flickr. It is even more popular than my ankle picture. It has been invited to a group and even gotten a couple of kudos. How cool is that?

My home computer has been having issues. The main issue is that I still have dial-up. Go ahead and laugh. I will wait.

At least I have XP on the thing. I won’t tell you how long it took me to upgrade. Well if you are a regular reader of my blog you already know.

I have been having problems downloading my email at home and it has made me grumpy. I think it is finally working now though. I hate that it takes so long to do things though. However since I don’t have $50+ to spend on an Internet connection, I will stick with my $20 dial-up.

This week I am trying to test out of as many packets as I can. All my lessons are set up by packets/chapters. I work at my own pace and test when I am ready. I have been working on insurance packets. Insurance is confusing and boring. How does anyone ever understand Medicare?

Please send scrapping vibes...

Lots of fun scrapping contests going on this past weekend. Lots of “Croptoberfests, if you will.”

I had hoped to participate in a few but my scrapping mojo is a bit low right now. Still, I checked out the challenges and started to look thru my photos. I had great intentions of at least scrapping one page, but I had a problem finding any “fall” type pictures. Nothing too “fall-y” when it comes to the desert. I could not even find any non-fall type pictures that I wanted to work with either. I have not ordered any new photos in quite some time and I am a bit bored with these old photos I have on hand. I really should scrap them but I want new ones to play with. Maybe next month I will be able to order some. I keep saying that but I never seem to have the funds when I want to order some.

So…..I walked into the closet where I store my scrapping stuff and ended up rearranging instead. I moved a few things around and cleaned up the huge mess that some call “ribbon.” My ribbon is now taking up 2 drawers instead of one. I really need to do something about that. I really don’t even use ribbon all that much. All my paint is now just sitting out. I don’t know yet if I want to put it back into a drawer or have it sitting out so I can look at all the pretty colors. I may just rotate what I leave out for inspiration purposes.

Oh and look!!!!! This 365 photo was chosen as someone’s fave. Which is super cool since this is my favorite photo at the moment.

faved again

Lots of stuff happening around here and most of it is not really all that great. :(

The one thing that I have brightening my days at the moment is my 365 project. Someone chose this photo as one of their faves and I know it is silly but it sure does make me giddy that someone likes my photo enough to choose it as a favorite. :)

I've been faved!

I started the 365 challenge for me. My pictures are not fancy or super-involved – they are just me – for me. Just as with my blog, I get super excited when I get comments on my self-portraits. I have even gotten some new contacts. Contacts that are people I don’t know. I got an even nicer surprise the other day. Someone added these 2 pictures to their favorites. I guess someone really likes my hair. Better than my foot, I suppose. :)

How can it be October?

Today my cold has hit me full force. Very stuffy around these parts. I sure do hope it does not last long. I don't think I have ever sneezed so much in my life. B is trying to avoid me saying that he does not want me to get him sick. HELLO?!?!? He was the one that got me sick in the first place. I told him that giving me his cold was the sweetest anniversary present ever! Actually he got me Knocked Up for our anniversary (the movie that is). LOL!

I am working on my 10-key today. I know how to type 10-key by touch, but now I have to learn how to do it using the correct fingers. LOL! My fingers are getting tired. It doesn't help that the type on the exercises is so small. I really do need to take a picture and share.

September is over (how did that happen?) and I finally updated all of my August 365 shots. I have a dream of not being a month behind when it comes to posting my pictures. I don't even know what day I am on since I am so behind. It helps in a way though. I see the photo a month later and if it is a bad one, it no longer bothers me. ;)

Here is a funny for ya! See the foot photo from August 1st? Can you believe that is my most viewed photo ever on Flickr? Unbelievable!

So here is what I looked like during the month of August. August is when I started school so the pictures should at least be a bit more appealing than when it was me just dragging myself out of bed. LOL!

It's ALL about ME!

Back in July, I mentioned this little challenge.

Well I am proud to say that the challenge is going great. I guess I really do like myself so much that taking a picture a day is just my thing. LOL! Of course, I started in July, it is now September, and I have barely finished uploading my July pictures. As with everything else in my world, procrastination is rearing its ugly little head.

So, without further ado, here is a little snippet of me and my world from July. Enjoy.

If you would like to see them up close and personal you can visit my 365 Flickr set.

A challenge you say?

Once upon a time, there was a girl who took too many pictures of herself. So….she joined a self-portrait group on Flickr. She never shared. She never even kept up with the challenges (I think there were challenges). So, nothing ever came of it (errr…..kind of like her photo-a-day challenge). Anywho……she finally decided to take the plunge and joined the 365 Days Self-portrait challenge. Although she was very leery of saying anything about it for fear that it would fall by the way-side like ALL the other challenges she chose to participate in (ummm…such as that challenge to NOT buy anymore scrapbook supplies until a specific page goal was reached- yeah that one NEVER even had a chance!).

So, even though it went against the girl’s better judgment, she decided to still let all you reading this know, that she has decided to participate.

~*~ She has joined the group.

~*~ She has taken the first photo (a quickie before running out the door).

~*~ She has decided that no matter what ~ she will post these photos for the world to see.

Now the hard part…..which one to pick.

So tell me….which one do you like best?
