I Heart Faces Challenge

So, you know, like I don't kill enough time already online, I added all of the 2009 blogluxe winners to my google reader. It's been 24 hours since my discovery, and i'm in blogging heaven. My real life paper books are very sad. My library card? In purgatory.



I Heart Faces co-won "blog you've learned the most from", along with my hero Pioneer Woman Cooks.

Anyhow, here is my entry for "At the Beach" photo challenge.

I just love this pic of my daughter Bibi. It captures all of her personality and joy in the big "sand box". In the background is my other daughter Emmy (who can play nicely with others) and my niece.

Sunset Over the Beach

I had so much fun taking (and editing) these pics. I hope you enjoy the sunset on Oak Island with me.



My lovely sister in law.

Beach Times.

Sorry, no nice pictures yet. It's hard to get a nice picture when the ocean washes off any makeup concealing sunburnt noses. Plus I've been waking up in an evil mood most every day. Today, the fresh coffee was gone and I could not wrap my brain around making more. I turned around and the kitchen that was clean before I went to bed (it was my turn to make supper) had trash on every flat surface. Every. flat. surface. I could not deal, so I left and went to coffee shop. By myself. Where it was clean. 



Thanks to Olga for a mind diversion book meme. 

1) One book that made you laugh: All Creatures Great and Small, by James Harriot.

2) One book that made you cry: Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, by Rebecca Wells.

3) ---------you have read more than once: Rainbow Valley (anne of green gables #7), by L.M. Montgomery, and Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. Actually most of my books.

4) ---------you have loved but were embarrassed to admit it: hmmmm, not sure. not ready to fess up.

5)----------you have hated: Anything I had to read in a literature class. I read for entertainment, not to think....The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood comes to mind, although I think it was a quick read, I seem to remember staying up all night reading it. I don't think I possessed the maturity at the time to appreciate it. 

6)---------one book you have loved as a child: The Golden Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder

7)--------one that has scared you: House, by Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti

8)--------that has bored you: Anything I had to read for an Anthropology Class I took as an undergrad. Gotta love those classes that make you a well rounded person. 

9)-----that has made you happy: Dog Stories, by James Harriot.

10)--------that has made you miserable: 1984 by George Orwell

11)----that you were not brave enough to read: try not to read scary books, murder mysteries scare me!

12)-----book character you have fallen in love with: John Clark of the Jack Ryan novels, my fave is Without Remorse by Tom Clancy.

13) last book you have read: i'm finishing The Sum of All Fears by Tom Clancy, it's a reread.

14: next book you hope to read: Probably move on to Debt of Honor, it's a Tom Clancy summer. 

About This Blog

Hmm, seems somewhat redundant. I'm a mom of 2 lovely ladies. I'm the wife of a triathlete machine. I'm a general music teacher in a public school. I like to take pictures of things, especially things i consider beautiful. I like to share. As long as it isn't food. Enjoy!
