Jan 5 & 6 pictures

My new purse that I turned into a camera bag with some padding.

My husband and I drink way too much Diet Cherry Pepsi. It's seriously an addiction.

Breakfast at Sea Dog

Our delicious breakfast at Sea Dog Brewing Co. After breakfast (that was really lunch) we went to get Pat new glasses and a few odds and ends. I've got my eye on a new laptop, but that wasn't happening today.

I also bought some padding material to turn my new purse into a camera bag and I'll get to that later tonight. All in an effort to always have my camera with me!

Bye bye 2010

Hello 2011!

This year I am going to TRY to participate in Project 365 and take a picture each day. I'm going to try and post them each day, but lets face it...that's unlikely! Hopefully I'll be able to share with you the highlights (I anticipate a lot of Stryker pictures).

Christmas is where? Here? Already?

Where did December go? I feel like it was just Thanksgiving and I blinked and here we are at Christmas. I love love love Christmas, always have. When I was a kid there was no way I was sleeping on Christmas Eve. I can remember laying there awake and often asking (way too often) if it was time to get up yet. I would often sneak to the bathroom to peek at the tree and see if Santa had arrived yet, but I never looked at the gifts. Ever since I can remember I've always loved the surprise!

When I was in second grade my teacher, Mrs. Thomas, asked us to write a story about our family traditions for Christmas. I'm not sure if I didn't think mine were good enough or what, but I flat out lied. I wrote this story about how we woke up, held hands and sang carols around the tree. Seriously? I have no idea what I was thinking, but it's been a standing joke in our family for the last 25 years.

I hope you all have a fabulous Christmas and I hope to blog more in 2011. In that regard I am going to *try* and take part in Project 365 to take (and share) a photo every day. My life is pretty boring, so don't expect too much!

Merry Christmas!
