Six- Seven

June 6th Photo - BOOKS!

I was in the library to pick up some books, picked a random aisle and snapped a picture!

This is a picture of my FAVORITE books at home.  I had a hard time choosing just one shelf. 

June 7th, High Angle -
I was stumped at first...a high angel, er, angle.  Then as I walked into work I saw the shot:

The grimy underside of a school desk.  *shudder* yuck.  Haha. 

I also wanted to let you know that a VERY good Blogger friend of mine, Tiffany from Bride-onicles of a Soon to Be Bride is having a Fabulous Giveaway  that you should go check-out.  She has a 1-year subscription to Martha Stewart Weddings up for grabs.  EeeeeeK!!!  My FAVORITE bridal magazine!  Go enter!  I'm passing my luck along to you!!

Three, Four, Five

Hey Hey! I'm gonna give you a three for one deal on the pictures today!  I was super busy yesterday with the Parental ST's being here.  Mom and I went thrift store shopping (I got some GREAT stuff I cannot WAIT to begin crafting).  Dad and I spent some quality time on the beach in the afternoon - I found a HUGE piece of dark blue sea glass.  I did a happy dance and all on the beach.  Dad then says, "ST, it's just glass.  Trash.  It's just some piece of dirty trash the ocean washed up."  Weeeeellllllll, exxxxxxccccuuuuuussssseeee ME!  It was like being 5 all over again.  I stuck out my tongue and continued to search and search as we walked along the beach.  I'll show him.  Trash.  Ha!

So June 3rd was HANDS.  I was stumped.  I tried taking pictures of my own hands.  CREEPY.
Mr. ST and I went out with bm and gm NM and her husband KM to a local watering hole or some late night snacks and refreshments.  I begged and everyone was on board for a picture there.

From the bottom, Mr. ST, me on the right, gm KM on the top, and bm NM on the left.  Kind of interesting I thought.  :-)  Love our friends.

Today's picture is clouds.  I took the picture one day early, because I couldn't pass up this shot.

Thought I was being artsy shmartsy with my clouds shot.

Tomorrow's shot is Breakfast Today.  Well, my breakfast is usually the same thing every day.  I'm not a big breakfast person (I don't eat meat, don't eat eggs, and can't stand a ton of milk)  so I'm stuck with fake milk and cereal most days.  Like yesterday, today, and tomorrow:

I usually eat some sort of Kashi-adult-type cereal during the week.  If I'm having breakfast on the weekend I let myself have a "treat" of sugary cereal.  I love fruit juice so I've got a glass of V8 Fusion to go with it.   YUMMY. I couldn't decide if I wanted to eat fruit with it, or wait till after my run and have a fruit smoothie.  Smoothie won.   :-)

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Photo day 2 - SHOES

I had a tough time with this topic.  Shoes... I LOVE shoes and we've chatted about how I painted my wedding shoes and that I'm going to be strassing them out over the summer some time.  I would have picked them - I love the idea of them when complete. But I can't show you a picture of them without any crystals. 

So I dove into my closet and started playing dress up with my shoes.  I was going to go with my standard footwear for this time of year.  The Flip Flop.  Eah.  Too typical for a beach bum like myself (I don't actually wear shoes to the beach.  I wear them in the car to drive over, but most of the time I don't bother with them on the way home.  Driving barefoot is an interesting experience - not sure if it's legal, but eah.)

Then I pulled out my UGGS from the Tupperware.  It's 80 some degrees here, but I still slipped my foot into the furry goodness.  My toes were so happy.  Hot, but happy.  So they were a no go for the picture. 

I almost gave up and reverted to my wedding shoes when I say theeeeese peaking out from the bottom of the box. 

Purple and Pink some type of skin heels.  I found these when I was in college.  I rocked them out to many a party.  They are in verrrry poor shape now (almost 7 years old - yikes!) I love them dearly. 


The heel isn't too high either.

You can see that they are worn - like on the heel here.  That's from wearing jeans with them.  Boo!!

Such a hot pattern.  These shoes are bad ass.  When I bought them, they were on clearance at a place like Burlington Coat Factory... random.

Poor Shoes.  You have helped me dance many  night away.  You were there the night I met Mr. ST.  We've had plenty of fun.  I love you dearly.  I can't bring myself to throw you out just left.  You still have a little life left in you.  <3

What are YOUR favorite shoes?  Have you held on to a pair for over 7 years?  I'm not hoarding.  Promise.  Just loving.

Photo fun in June

It's late on this first day of June.  I'm sorry it took me so long to get this post done today, but I was a suuuuper busy working person (I was finishing up Act V of Julius Caesar - blah - everyone kills them self because that makes it allll better) and didn't get the chance to sit down to write till now. 

I follow lots of crafty blogs in addition to the wedding blogs I love.  One such blog is SugarBeeCrafts.  I follow her on Facebook too.  I noticed this post on her Facebook page: Photo Fun.  So I clicked on the link and was brought to this FABULOUS idea from Feathered Nest.  There is a 30 day Photo List to take during the month of June.  You join the Flickr Group to post your pictures. 

Today, June 1st is Self Portrait.  So here goes:


This also shows off the new haircut and highlights.  Plus the insane amount of freckles tan I got yesterday afternoon at the beaaaach.  I'm going to try to post this up each and every day.  You should join too!!!

Tomorrow: Favorite Shoooooes.  <3.
