day 30 - July 3

Day 30.  Something you miss.

Right now I miss a lot of things... Like walking normally ;)  But, these are a few of the biggies :)

Dancing with this awesome group of people :)

Reading in the hammock

Camping

Reading on the beach

Windsurfing

The ocean

Ice skating!  Not winter, I am loving summer right now,  just the skating part :)

I cannot believe that it is the last day of my photo a day challenge already! I have really enjoyed doing this... It has stretched me and forced me to post everyday (almost!).  That being said, I am glad that I don't have a set guideline of what, and when, I have to post! :)

day 29 - July 2

Day 29.  Water.

Instead of taking a picture of water today, I thought that I would share some of the water from my travels this last year and a half :)
(the pictures are in no particular order at all :))

A marsh just outside of Conakry, Guinea

A beach in Santander, Spain

Playing with water in Conakry, Guinea

The ocean just outside of Port au Prince, Haiti

La Cascadas in Guinea, Africa

El Retiro park in Madrid, Spain

day 28 - July 1

Day 28.  What you are reading.

Currently reading:

'She Walks in Beauty' by Siri Mitchell

 and 'The Boomerang Clue' by Agatha Christie :)

Oh, and for anyone that cares: SPAIN WON THE EURO CUP!!!  I am not usually a huge soccer fan, but the family that I worked for while I was in Spain is, so I am excited for them :)

Happy Canada Day!

day 27 - June 30

Day 27.  Shadow.

Just a few pictures of shadows that I noticed when I was sitting out on the back deck this afternoon :)

shadows of leaves on a chair

shadow of me :)

shadows of our deck railing, and some plants waiting to be planted in our garden

And now I leave you to watch Pirates of the Caribbean with my family :)

Have a great evening everyone!

day 26 - June 29

Day 26.  Cold.

Sitting outside in the sun on a hot summer day with my book and something cold to eat sounds pretty much perfect to me.  :)

Frozen fruit :)

day 25 - June 28

Day 25.  Looking down.

Just a picture of my little toes, and a glimpse of my pretty new shirt :)

day 24 - June 27

Day 24.  Hair.

Sorry for my extended absence!  This weekend was really crazy.  We had company and there was a lot going on... I decided that it was more important to spend time with my family than to try (and probably fail ;)) to say something that made sense everyday :)

First off you have to know that I love my hair.  It is probably the thing I like most about myself. :) And today I braided it around my head which is one of my favorite ways to wear it.  So, prepare for a photo overload :)

From the front:

 And the back:

 And close up:

My hair is fairly fine but I have a lot of it, and it is currently pretty long so I don't do this too, too, often :)  It takes time and only stays up when my hair is wet... The upside though is that tomorrow it will be all pretty and wavy :)  

day 23 - June 20

Day 23.  Money.

Yep.  It's money folks...  Not much I can add to that. :)

But, I got outside for a bit today and it was awesome!   I just sat in the shade and read, but it was the highlight of my week :)  I feel so much more relaxed...  I think that I will have to work that into my daily schedule :)

Also, you should totally check out the Beth Moore study 'Living Beyond Yourself'.  All I can say is that it is amazing.

Aaaannd, I have been watching the tv show 'Bones' while I have been laid up and it is killing me!  I totally love it but I only have 9 episodes left and I don't really see how they can finish up all the side stories in that time... Arrgg ;)

day 22 - June 19

Day 22.  Something you ate.

Mmm... Yummy supper!
Thin crust almond flour pizza with turkey pepperoni and celery with tzatziki :)

day 21 - June 18

Day 21.  Green.


While everything outside is green right now, I decided to go with some things that were at hand for today :)

The little mirror that travels with me in my purse,

and...

...some paper from a project that I am currently working on for a friend of mine.

Have a good evening everyone!

day 20 - June 15

Day 20.  Your view today.

My beautiful Mama set herself up in the TV room, which is where I am currently living, and we chilled together all day today while she sewed. (I of course helped by gluing sparkles on to things, and giving my opinion :))

disclaimer:  I actually took these particular pictures a few days ago, but you get the idea :)

day 19 - June 14

Day 19.  Your shoes.

Finally! The long awaited shoe post :)

I don't really have that many shoes (although my family thinks I have too many ;)), and as I discovered today most of them are black or brown...  I think I need to add more colour to my shoe wardrobe :)

(I decided not to include my boots, flip flops, and sneakers.... these are just the shoes that I wear on a regular basis :))

day 18 - June 11

Day 18.  Something you hate.

So, for today's post I am using pictures that I got off the internet... The things I hate are a bit hard to take a picture of around the house :)

Anyway, the things that I hate in no particular order are:

Child abuse and exploitation.

This image is not mine! I got it from here.

When people are just mean.

This image is not mine! I got it from here.

Badly written books.  More specifically when my library buys a bunch of them instead of like book 3 of a series that they already have books 1,2,4,5, and 6 of.  I mean really?! 

This image is not mine! I got it from here.

When people think that everyone in Canada lives in an igloo and rides a polar bear to work.  Highly annoying.

This image is not mine! I got it from here.

I know that after leading with 'child abuse and exploitation' everything else sounds a bit weak (at least to me), but it did seem the most appropriate even though I said that they were not going to be in any particular order.

I actually  had a hard time doing this post... there are not a lot of things that I truly hate... Dislike, yes; find annoying, yes; but hate?  Not that many.

day 17 - June 10

Day 17.  Drink.

So, ya... Glass of water people :)

How was your weekend? Mine has been pretty good so far :)

Yesterday was really relaxing which was nice :)  Last night I watched Morning Glory with my mom... SO funny :)  I would absolutely recommend it if you are looking for a comedy :)  (great acting as well)

I made it  to church this morning and got through the whole service :)  (That is a big deal for me with my knee right now :))

I also look fabulous today (no maybe about it ;)) which always makes me feel so much better equipped to deal with life :)  Do any of you have that?  Or maybe I am just weird :)

Aaand, my friend is coming over for some quality girl time tonight which I am very happy about :)  Yay for amazing friends! :)

Have a great Sunday!

day 16 - June 9

Day 16.  Time.

My trusty watch has been through a lot with me this last year, traveling all over the place and getting hit by a car, but it still reliably tells me what time it is every day :).  

day 15 - June 8

Day 15.  Something new.

I have been doing my nails a lot these days, so I thought that it made for an appropriate 'something new' :)

I am also linking up today with the nail files (do you see how well I worked that out ;)).  Check out the link for some amazing nails :)

nail polish used: Ardene 15.

I went pretty simple this time, just a plain metallic blue :)  A friend of mine was getting rid of some colours a few years ago and gave this to me...  This is the first time I have used it and while  the polish is may not be the best quality, I love the colour :).

Also, how amazing is this cake that my friend made for me!
