July PAD - 17 - My Addiction

:: day 17 ::
:: my addiction ::


hot & spicy cheez-its are my weakness
i could eat the whole box in one sitting
as you all know, german milka is also my weakness
i just got a boat load of milka when family visited germany
it is all gone
every last drop
so i had to throw the little milka cow in the picture instead

July PAD - 10 - Favorite Color

:: day 10 ::
:: favorite color ::


random.
i know.
these are my two favorite colors right now.
i was thinking to myself, where can i find aqua and orange together?
i just so happened to be holding this bottle of detangler while i was thinking this.
fabulous.
this one fell right into my hands.
easy peasy.

Random BS

1.  No one has told me about this Wholly Guacamole Dog at Sonic.  Rude!

According to the web it is "a grilled premium beef hot dog topped with Wholly Guacamole brand guacamole, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, jalapeños, onion and finished with zesty cheese sauce in a warm, poppy seed bun."  Heaven in a poppy seed bun.  Has anyone tried it yet?  Wholly Guacamole is one of my lovers.

2.  Is it weird that I just bought Sister Hazel's acoustic album Before the Amplifiers for the first time?  Why did I wait so long?  Best album known to man.  Champagne High and Swan Dive are possibly two of my favorite songs of all time.

3.  Despicable Me is possibly one of the best movies I've ever seen.  Seriously.  I loved it more than the children.  Pharrell Williams' Despicable Me is my new theme song.




I'm having a bad, bad day

It's about time that I get my way

Steam rolling whatever I see, huh
Despicable me

I’m having a bad, bad day
If you take it personal that's ok,
Watch this is so fun to see, huh
Despicable me

You are welcome.  Now, you will have it stuck in your head all day.

4.  Did you know that I have been into almost every public restroom in Eastern NC?  I have.  I can also verify the fact that Goldsboro, NC has their first Dyson AirBlade in the Bojangles bathroom on Spence.  I was pretty impressed with that find today.

5.  I brought juice bags and gummies into the movie today.  Sue me.  It was the first time I've ever done that and I felt like just a rule breaker.  I loved it.

6.  I am behind on PAD.  I just posted for the 9th.  Be sure to check it out.

July PAD - 9 - Big

:: day 9 ::
:: big ::


we call her big.
before she became a big sister, she was "the little".
now, she is "the big".
and big she is.
this girl has big thoughts.  big dreams.
big words.  big opinions.
yep, big is the perfect name.

July PAD - 8 - Lunch

:: day 8 ::
:: lunch ::


the girls (caroline especially) have been wanting a bento box.
it is a little box that "all the cool kids" take their lunch in.
i haven't thought much of the bento box since school has been out.
that is until saturday when i was in the dollar section at target.
i spotted two bento boxes hidden behind the multi-colored socks.
$1 a piece.
score for mom!
now, my kids will the cool kids too.

July PAD - 7 - Garden

:: day 7 ::
:: garden ::


i love that summer is full of yummies from the garden.
this is a five gallon bucket full of butter beans waiting to be shelled.
my fabulous dad did the growing and picking.
i will do the shelling & cooking.
shelling butter beans is my SOB (secret old woman behavior).
i love it.
no judgement please.

----------------------------------------------------------------

July PAD - 6 - Chair

:: day 6 ::
:: chair ::


do you ever wish that a piece of furniture could tell stories?
this was my great grandma's high chair.
it now sits in my kitchen, tucked neatly under pallet board paintings.
i am sure this chair has held a lot of babies.  you can tell by the front top railing.
there are two indentations where a toddlers feet fit perfectly.
the wood has been worn down by bare baby feet over many, many, many years.
it is one of my most favorite pieces that i have because you can't buy something so worn, so full of history, so full of stories.

July PAD- 1 - Self

Since the July Photo A Day (PAD) list I found is super random, I will post each day.  I will catch up the past 3 days.

At the end of July, I will make a collage with all of my pictures from the month like I did for June.

PS- Here is the list I am using if you want to tag along.


:: day 1 ::
:: self portrait ::

If you know me, you know how much I HATE being in front of the camera.
I belong behind the camera.
This picture was taken in the window of the minivan.
That's the best self portrait you are going to get from me.
Yuck.
