Thankful Thursday

Seeing as I don't got much to say, I'll devote today's post to something I am thankful for.
I overheard some gals at work today complaning about their DHs (dear husbands) who spend way too much time and money on video games. For all the other things I worry about, this is certainly not one of them here in the E household and I am truly thankful. I'll take hours of sports, ESPN, playoffs...and all that boringness over a video-head any day! I really hope Wyatt doesn't get sucked into those things either. Well if I have anything to do with it, he surely won't!

I think I am gonna attempt to channel my inner Paula Deen again this weekend and make these ooey-gooey cinnamon rolls again from scratch. Let's just say I learned from my first attempt that whole wheat flour probably isn't the best choice. I mean really, they're buttery, sugary rolls of insta-atherosclerosis so why bother even kidding myself with the wheat flour? If you're gonna be bad, might as well be good at it, ehhh? I do pinky promise to just nibble on the smallest one of the batch...scout's honor!

I*HEART*FACES {Hats}

The challenge this week is hats. I've been trying for 2 days to get Wyatt to stand still long enough for me to get a shot with my oh-so-slow-to-focus camera. Frustrating to say the least. Snapped this one tonight and it is way soft...off focus and garbage by the technical standards, but if nothing else, it captured his essence. Oh and a little bit of his pirate too, lol.

Check out all the other hats this week at I*HEART*FACES.


Tick-tock-tick-tock

Argh....I am downloading the the trial version for Adobe Lightroom2 and it seems like it is taking for flipping ever! Come on already!
I have resisted it thus far, but what the hay, I sure ain't getting any younger, lmbo......and zip it, Jason.
Grrr, we must have the slowest internet in all of Fort Worth or something.....

Ok, whilst I wait....here a few zoo pics. I wasn't terribly inspired by an of these so it took me a while to get some of them done. There were more edited but my computer froze before I saved them and I just don't have the heart to go back and re-edit them all over again. Maybe if Lightroom ever hurries up I might feel more like playing.....weeee!

P.S.. you'd think it would kill him to give me some eye contact even just once....

Musical Monday

I heard this song with fresh ears yesterday, as if for the first time....so may you hear it for the 1st time all over again too.

Saturday, May 2

Say what?!?

It's May 2nd....now how the heck did that happen?

Anyhow, to update on the Rugrat, he's back to his spunky, driving-me-up-the-wall-and-outta-my-mind self. Let's see...today's band-aid count: 1, so in my book, it was a good day. I also finally finished painting the dining room area today. On to the living room next....any volunteers out there? Surely All-You-Can-Eat Little Ceasars pizza must be at least a little tempting, right? HA!

And from Lori over at Teacher Turned Mommy...I accept your challenge!
