…Why I do what I do

I dragged myself out of bed this morning….completely exhausted, hungry, and SO not wanting to go to work. But I did…and when I got there, there was this awesome double rainbow arched above the store. Awesome sight…and no camera to document it. Bummer.

It was just a couple of hours later that I left work (short day {yay}) and I was headin’ down the highway to Sam’s to pick up a couple rolls of film. It occurred to me, on that stretch of highway, why exactly I take so many pictures and why I miss having a camera. I’m documenting my life. My everyday life….not just the {special} moments. I got to thinking…I’m 32…I have no children, I may not have any….where’s the proof that I existed? How will anyone know what I saw, how I felt, what my perspective on life was? {okay, the question I wasn’t pondering was “who will care?”} Made me kind of sad to think that. I know I have friends who love me..and think about me…friends who care what I’m about. And family, too. But what about in the future…when those people are gone? Will the memories of me fade into oblivion?

Heavy thoughts for a 10 minute car ride, don’t ya think?

Anyway….here’s a better picture of the ring….which I adore by the way…in case I hadn’t mentioned.

~Happy Thursday!

Love Liz’s comment about me and Thom being her soap opera…funny how I think I’m completely boring…I guess it’s all about perspective. Although, I like to think about Thom and me being more of a love story 🙂

Anyway…not a lot going on. Can’t believe how quiet my apt is without him. And how hungry I am. Really….I was pretty spoiled each time he was here. Lunch and dinner almost every day….homemade or out somewhere other than Mickey D’s {which I don’t mind either}. Speaking of spoiled, did I mention the nightly back rubs as I fell asleep…or his insistence with me taking a nap? {absolutely NOT like I was a toddler, or something, btw…just concern cuz we usually were up pretty late}

So…I kind of officially told my bosses at work that I’ll be leaving/transferring at the end of October. I’m pretty determined to make Arkansas my home….Thom and I have talked about it a bit…and I’m hoping to visit him in a couple of weeks and drive back with him. It’s HOT there right now. SO not looking forward to that aspect.

In other not-so-interesting news….I’m starting my Christmas projects. I’m determined to make something meaningful this year. Homemade gifts from the heart and yada, yada, yada. Really, though…i have some cute ideas for gifts for my little cousins.

So…I’m pretty tired and I have to be to work early, so I’ll sign off with this picture. The ring Thom bought for me soon after he arrived. You know, the one where I joked about there being some sparkle?

Hope you’re all having a great week!

…I’m still around

Can you believe it’s August? Where is the time going? Seems like Thom just got here…on his birthday 🙁 And now he’s gone 🙁 🙁 He left this morning…has some business to take care of and a doctor’s appointment…but hopefully, he’ll be back soon.

I’m going to miss him a lot. It was hard saying goodbye!

We did a lot while he was here though. Took a couple road trips. Last Friday we went to Mackinac…I’d never been there. It was awesome and I’m so glad I got to go with Thomas. Here’s a couple photos taken with Thom’s digital…..

There are more pics on my Flickr account 🙂 I’m off now…one more call to Thom as he heads out of Michigan…and then I’m off to work for the night.

…Oh Happy Day

Yay 🙂 I have pictures once again!

Was shopping at Meijer this afternoon, for work, and came across this little “card reader” for $11.99. You can hook it right up to any computer with a USB port and plug in an SD card from any digital camera, and VOILA! Pictures. lol This is the ony picture I’ve taken with Thom’s digital FUJI that he brought for me to play with. (mine is still not working 🙁 )
So, this brownie/icecream concoction is Thom’s creation–A little before-work treat he whipped up for me on Monday.
That’s alll I had to say…since I’ve already posted once today….I’ll have pictures again soon 🙂
Have a great Naked Wednesday!

…Hello from No-Photo Land

Still no photos to share. I’m not bitter or sad about it. Well…not a lot anyway. I’m headed out to work again. Why must I do it everyday? *sigh* One more night…and then 3 days off….I just keep telling myself.

So last Friday, Thom took me to Grand Rapids and dropped me off at Devos Place for the Great American Scrapbooking Convention. I shopped around for a couple of hours…actually met two “Scrap booking Celebrities” Well….they’re celebrities to me, anyway. I read both of their blogs…and I found myself a little nervous talking to them…lol.

Worked all day Saturday and then went to mom’s to do laundry. Think I posted from there?

Sunday, after sleeping in, Thom and I drove up to Ludington, walked along the channel, had lunch and then drove through Pentwater. I love having someone with whom to explore.

Speaking of Thomas…I love coming home to a glass of wine…dinner waiting…and all-around fun, enjoyable company. I’d been so used to being alone and I thinking I’m coming out of that.

So…that’s it. That’s what I’ve been up to. Hope you’re all having a good week thus far 🙂
