A little catching up

So it's been a few days since I have posted and it is because I finally have a life again! New job, new semester at school, car breaking down - I'm a busy girl. To catch up a little, I am making one post for the last few days. I have managed to squeeze in the Photo a day and am still on track as far as taking one a day. My postings are just a little late. With that said, here we go.

Saturday morning it was pretty much a boring day and I really had nothing to photo. I managed to take a few of my sisters garden in the day light and of my sisters dogs - Remy and Winnie - Remington and Winchester to be exact. Yep, you guessed it, named after the guns. Perhaps that is because since Andrew moved from Torrance to Phoenix, he has gotten way into shooting and has become a redneck! They even have a 'bench' made out of a log (of course) with braces on it so that they can mount their clay shooter when they go out. Waaayyyy to into it if you ask me.

Her garden is also swarming with wasps. While they are not the best of the bugs to photograph, I did find them quite interesting and caught a few good ones. 

Onto Sunday. Sunday was also a boring day. I caught a few of my dogs and of the Barbie's that I finally convinced Will to put up in our bedroom. Yes BARBIES. I love Barbie and have collected them since I first found out I was going to have Jessi. I kept telling myself that they were for her, but truth be told, half of them were given to ME as gifts. I started with buying and "Air Fordce Thunderbirds" Barbie when I was pregnant with Jess. Then for her first Christmas she got the Christmas Barbie in 1991. Then my dad showed me something he probably shouldn't have. My dad had a neighbor that collected Barbies in a BIG way. He took me down to her house and they took me out back. She was probably in her 40's and her dad had built her a detached garage to keep all her Barbie's in. It had shelves from floor to ceiling and Barbie's everywhere. She had glass cases with Barbie 'scenes' in them. I remember seeing Barbie's on Vespa's, in living rooms and driving Corvette's. That was it. That was all it took. My goal is to someday have a Barbie room like that. No matter what anyone says!

Yesterday was the first day of my new job. I had a wonderful morning that started with seeing the sun rays beaming out of the clouds at QT when I stopped to get my energy drink and some gas. Then on a little smoke break, I caught some photos of the building, the courtyard area inside underground and the internal area of the office itself. My little office is a an office of little "suites". You can see all the little offices going down the hallway. Strangely enough, there are probably 8 of them that are all rented to some attorney. Why not rent a regular office?

Last night, I was lucky enough to catch a few of this dragonfly. We never get to see them up close and for some reason, he got stuck on our patio by the light. After flying around and dodging us, he finally got wore out and collapsed in to my craft bin. Thank goodness Will got him out :)

Today, nothing eventful happened. We are loving Miranda's 'Dump Soup' recipe (Thanks Miranda!) so I took some photos of that. Quick, easy and delish. Perhaps I will post the recipe soon. Right now it's on to homework.

Anyway, hope you have enjoyed this little journey. I'll catch you in a few days!
