I am a BAD BAD blogger...I was actually awarded this award over a week ago, but I have been so busy, 
this is the first time I have been able to put it up... so THANKYOU Jenny
for this award.... and sorry it took so long to get to!!  When you get the chance...go check out her blog

I'm a Full Time Mommy

She is a great lady, and always has something neat to say....some great Give-aways too!

OK...so now to share 7 things about myself...

Ummmm
1) Ok...I started this blog over three years ago now...Origionally it was-and still is a way to let family and friends outside of my community know how my kids are and how we are doing...Mostly because I hate HATE phones... As it turns out,  I found out that I actually like blogging, and have met many people as a result of something I was doing as a journal!  

2) This isn't much of a secret...but I love photography...I especially like to take pictures  of old people and children, mostly because they have show so much character in their faces.... I love to take pictures that tell a story... Sometimes I am paid for my work, but I would do it anyway....

3) I play guitar....I have a Special Edition Takamini Tibetan Alm that I love...although these days I don't get to play as often as I like due to family responsibilities... 

4) I hate flying...I don't know why....I just do...I have only done it three times in my life..

5) I had a pony I called Poncho when I was a kid... She was an obstinate beast...but she really taught me how to ride..

6) I didn't graduate high school until I was 28...When I did graduate I had a 98% grade average and ended up being class valedictorian.... I went back so that my girls would know how important an education is...
unfortunately..not sure if it sunk in... LOL!


7) I am partially deaf in one ear, and have tinnitus. I don't know why yet, although I will be going to a specialist soon, but I am going to get a hearing aid, and possible a tinnitus masker... (tinnitus is buzzing or whistling in your ear) I hear mine 24 hours a day. It started 10 years ago when I picked up a virus and was sick for almost a year...I don't tell people often, because people treat you differently when they think you are deaf... I get yelled at, people speak really slowwwwwllllyyyyy..... truth is...although I need a hearing aid in one ear..I hear well enough to play guitar and sing...so.........

OK...so now you know a little more about me....
Now to pass this on to some more bloggers...I don't think I can do 15 though...LOL!

1) A Trio of Boys
2) Two Savvy Sisters
3) Look at it as an Adventure! 
4) Hon, What's for dinner?

Tuesday Tag Along!

Here's how it works:

• Create a new Tuesday Tag-Along blog post. Include the Tuesday Tag-Along button by copying and pasting the code above. (You are also welcome to copy and paste these instructions in their entirety, or any portion of this Tuesday Tag-Along blog post!)
• Add your blog name and the URL of your TTA post to the MckLinky below.
• Follow Twee Poppets, the hostess blog listed in the first slot. Twee Poppets will follow you back! (Note: If you want Twee Poppets to follow you back, you MUST leave her a comment saying that you are a new follower and leave a link to your blog!)
• If you can, please follow the blogs in the three slots before you (e.g., if you're number 20, follow numbers 19, 18, and 17). This is not mandatory, but it will help ensure that everyone who signs up gets a few new followers!
• Follow as many other blogs as you want. The more you follow, the more that will follow you back! Be sure to tell them that you're following from Tuesday Tag-Along! You may also want to leave a link to your blog so they can return your follow more easily.
• When you get a new follower through Tuesday Tag-Along, be sure to follow them back! It's just common courtesy. :)

The weekly Tuesday Tag-Along MckLinky opens every Monday night at 8:59pm Pacific Standard Time (that's 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time), and the TTA blog post will be posted well in advance of that time. The MckLinky will be open to add your blog until 11:59pm Tuesday night. You then have all week long to visit blogs and return follows!

There is a new list every week. The link you enter one week will not carry over to the next week's MckLinky. Please link up again each week to join in the fun!


Tuesday Tag-Along Blog Hopper of the Week:
Each week, one blog will be chosen randomly from all the links, and that lucky blog will be placed in the desirable second slot for the following week's MckLinky!

This week's lucky blog hopper is #120, Soup Baby. Congratulations!

What is the Story?

Sometimes pictures aren't great...they just tell a story..

like these ones..I was on my deck when I took them..

Tell me...What do you think the story was here??

Parking Fail...

Ok...so why have I included these videos you might ask????
Well first of all....they were just freakin funny..]
BUT I was at Walmart a couple of days ago...and I saw my own Parking Fail...
and my hubby and I had just been watching some of these videos
the night before, and laughing our ***** off...
and then I go to Walmart....
Well..You get it..

I was walking out of Walmart,
and I see this...
A really big ass handicap van trying to park in a spot, that really she should have been able to fit in...
But instead, she hits it at a really bad angle.
I was walking towards it, so I can see she is about to nail this car...
So did a man on the other side, who
started yelling at her to stop, but apparently she didn't hear him either...
because she just kept going...
Apparently...she also didn't feel the force of the impact either...because she'
hit the car, and just kept pushing it!! Unbelievable... This picture really doesn't do justice to the damage on the
left bumper, because I took it from a distance through a dirty window, and with a cell phone...
but the whole end was caved in...  After she parked and realized she had hit the car...she actually tried to park again! And repeated the whole hit the car thing!

WOW! Where is a video camera when you need one...LOL!
I also took pictures of her liscence plate and this car..and stuck around in case she tried to skip
but to her credit, she did leave a note and her phone number on the cars window..
although I guess it is kind of hard to skip, with nosy cell phone woman staring at you...LOL!
Anyway...there it is. My epic Fail Parking Story...

What is the worst parking job you have ever witnessed?
