Beautiful Mary Miss

I got the new camera... and invited Mary-Kay over :) I adore this child... she is wonderful, and super cute.

Isn't she so pretty?

My dream....

I dream of vacation
In beautiful Bon Aire
Lying in my hammock
with the wind in my hair

Lying on the beach
Feeling the warm sand
Or sitting in the shade
With a book in my hands

Just being lazy
Or splashing thru the waves
This lovely place
Is where I want to spand my days!

A picture of my beautiful vacation spot! Well actually it's a picture of a picture in my bedroom. But I want to go here. I love the beach and the ocean... well water of any sort actually. Since I have my license the summer, I plan on going to Lake Erie a lot! Equipped with my beautiful new camera, of course.... and anyone who wants me to take pictures!

Benjamin and the Purple Crayon

I make him stand here
I make him sit there
He smiles a toothless grin
He poses
And giggles
I love photgraphing him!

Oh my buddy Ben. He is a cutie... and such a blast to take pics of. He is cute, photogenic, and such a patient little guy. In other words, a photographer's dream child. I invited him over to go sled riding but I wanted to take just a couple pics first. And here they are!

 I love my friend Katie. However, upon looking at this pic, she said "That crayon

is really cool! I want a crayon like that.... but I bet it's hard to draw with." She thought

it was real!

Me and Shrek

So we had an inspection at work... Yes, McDonald's does get those. We have to make sure everything is perfect. This inspection was right after the newest Shrek movie came out. We had EVERYTHING in the store Shrek... Happy meals, arch cards, posters... the whole deal. We would get extra points for the most Shrek things we had. Crystal, Kasey, Lacey, Kristina, and I stayed at the store until 3 a.m. cleaning until about midnightish, and then PAINTING! We painted adorable little Shrek people on the doors and windows. Ok, they weren't little - they were quite large - and the weren't adorable, but they didn't look too bad actually. By the time that we were done, the whole store had so much green that it almost made you sick. Anyway, at 3 we went home and slept for a couple hours, and some of us came back around 6 for our shifts. Talk about tired... Anyway, what I didn't know was that Shrek was coming to our store during inspection! Oh boy!!!! And here is some pictures of me and Shrek, otherwise known as my friend Jake Buell.

Now remember, these aren't good pictures, just fun ones. Hope you enjoy!

The Pretty Sister

These are pictures of my sister... I think she is really pretty... don't you? :) Anyway, we were throwing around the idea of going and taking pictures of her, so one day we headed to Drake Well to take some pics. The bottom ones are my favorites. And they turned out great.. at least I think they did. But you be the judge of that.

One Sunny Sunday Afternoon

So one Sunday afternoon I took Valerie, Melissa, and Mary-Kay to the beach. I brought Mary-Kay along because I love her, and because normally she goes to Valerie and Melissa's house (or they go to her's) on Sunday afternoons and I felt bad for taking her friends away. For Val and Melissa though... there was an ulterior motive. The last three are my favorites. :)

I am an idiot....

"Ok, how was I to know? Why hadn't Mom told me this? Did Mom even know? Why all of them? That's why the little box thing had popped up saying, "Are you sure you want to do this?" These questions of course are leading to a story, so I will tell it...

The thoughts above are a few of the thoughts running through my head. It is 12:30 a.m. I am tired. I have been working on my blog for about an hour - trying to be a good girl, trying to keep up on it. I don't want this to slip away like everything else does. So I post and then the fatal mistake starts to happen. I click on my dashboard. I see all of my rough drafts in a line. So I say to myself, "I don't need these anymore. I have to posts up and can aways hit edit if I need to fix something. And it looks cluttery." So I click DELETE for ALL of these "rough drafts"and then a little box popped up saying "Are you sure you want to do this." So I think, "Duh. Of course I want to do this. I wouldn't have clicked DELETE if I didn't want to do it." So I click yes, and then go back to my dashboard. It looks so nice and free of clutter.... And so I go to look at my blog one more time before I go to bed, proud of myself for keeping up on my blog. And IT IS GONE!!! AUGH!!!!

Anyway, I just told you this story to explain why my blog suddenly disappeared, but I am working on getting it going again.
