out of focus

I-Think-Therefore-I-Blog

As you may have noticed, my blog has somewhat turned a corner.  My focus was solely on photography and sharing my pictures but lately I seem to be not so much focused on just one thing.   I have felt very compelled to write about what’s going on in my life these days which is…

confessions of a new runner

 Or maybe the title should be “struggles” of a new runner.  I’m not sure which is more appropriate.  Maybe both fit this post rather nicely.  Last week, I cleared a major hurdle.  I managed to run 20 minutes straight.  Without stopping.  Or dying.  I’m sure all you seasoned runners are laughing at this.  20 minutes…

iPhoneography

Welcome to our 50th iPhoneography post!!!! Can you believe it? I hardly can. But so happy that this linkup has survived. It makes me happy to see all the snapshots of your lives every week. I took a good amount of snapshots myself this week. But first, just a few reminders for any newbies joining…

for the love of books

No secret that I’ve been on a reading kick lately.  I’ve always loved reading which thrilled my grandmother to no end.  She had a love for books as well.  In fact, I remember quite well being fascinated with all the books she had.  She rarely got rid of them.  Maybe she hoped as her grandchildren…

Hi, folks!  I’m a little later than usual.  I had a few errands to run after dropping Keegan off at school this morning.  And I’m moving a little slower than usual thanks to ANOTHER sinus infection.  RAWR. Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day!  Ours was good – lunch at Keegan’s school  and then…

Happy Valentine’s Day!  Today, the whole family is off to have lunch with Keegan at school.  We are all very excited!  And then a nice family dinner tonight.  Last night, my husband surprised us all with an Edible Arrangement – chocolate covered strawberries…. Need I say more?  DELISH.  The kids and I also made cupcakes…

the moon & some ramblings

Morning.  Wish I could say good but quite frankly, I’m somewhat grumpy this AM.  I did not want to get up when the alarm went off and neither did my kiddos.  Having to wake them up is not fun.  Apparently, Keegan felt the same way I did because the poor kid did not want to…

Hey, y’all!  I’m REALLY hoping to have better luck getting around to all your blogs this weekend.  I so apologize for have really bad luck with the internet this past weekend.  And while I do love my iPhone & it’s 3G capabilities, it’s not near as much fun blog hopping on it.  So fingers crossed…

not a runner

I’m not a runner.  In the past, I’ve never enjoyed running, though I was pretty fast.  But there is something intriguing about it.  I see those people…. the runners.  Running.  All energetic and skinny.  Not an ounce of fat on their lean bodies.  Running around in their cute little running outfits.  Mad if they don’t…

And I’m back in wifi land!  WOOT.  Thank goodness because I was about to lose my mind.  Comcast finally came out and we not only got one successful appointment but two in one day.  Hopefully, our problems are solved.  By the way, if you ever drop by here and see that I’m MIA you might…
