19 (or Not Fair!)

My sister-in-law & nephew came into town this past weekend.  While they were here, Megan was playing around with them & my camera.  She captured these beautiful shots of the blue-eyed boys.

Gorgeous.  Eyelashes.

Wasted on boys!

18 (or Say It Ain't So!)

Regis is retiring.

I have watched Reege ever since college.  I planned my college classes around getting to watch "Host Chat". I DVR it everyday, even though I usually catch it as it's aired.  When our local station stopped airing it live this fall, it threw my whole lives schedule out of whack. 

 Sad, I know.  

I will miss him.

17 (or As Heard Around Our House)

While watching Arthur on Netflix with Ben:

Me:  Recognize her?
Ben: No, should I?
Me:  She's Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz's daughter.
Ben (not really caring):  Oh, cool.
Me:  And she's in that show...
Ben: What show?
Me:  You know, that show we like.  She plays the friend of the mother who dates the son.
Ben:  Huh?
Me:  You know, the show we like about the dysfunctional family.
Ben:  Modern Family?
Me:  No, it's an older show.  You know that show they are going to make into a movie, then they aren't going to make a movie, then they are going to make the movie.
Ben:  Mom, use words.
Me:  You know, the show with Jason Bateman.
Ben:  Who's Jason Bateman?
Me:  You know the show!  There's a mom with a name then this lady plays her friend who isn't really her friend who has the same name.  And she dates the lady with the name's slow son...
Ben:  Arrested Development?
Me:  Yes!  Arrested Develpment!

I would like to say this conversation is highly unusual.  But unfortunately, it happens in some form or another every day.  Why are words so hard?

16 (or Cats & Dogs)

15 (or Bull!)

Not trying to be difficult. But I'll always be a Taurus.

 

Just sayin'!

14 (or Funny Foto Friday)

13 (or You Capture- Doorways)

When I saw this week's You Capture Challenge, I had visions of myself walking the streets of South Tampa or Ybor City, camera in hand capturing awesome images of really cool architectural details.  

But that didn't happen.

Instead, I ran around my house like a crazy woman this morning trying to find something interesting to share.

It may not be so interesting, but I'm sharing anyway.

When the girls were little, they would wake up on their birthdays with hundreds (well maybe 50 or so) construction paper numbers hanging from the ceiling all over our little apartment.  When we moved to this house with higher ceilings I stopped doing it.  But the girls took up the cause for their brother & they usually put up numbers on his behalf.  This year Jordan was out of town, so Megan  did it on her own.  Ben's birthday was in November, and the 13s in other parts of the house have been removed, but they will probably remain on the doorway to his room until he turns 14.

What wonderful sisters that boy has!

This is taken from our front door this morning.  I'm posting it in honor of the Seminole basketball beating #1 ranked Duke last night.  (I don't usually watch basketball, but I watch because I knew Jordan was there  What. An. Exciting. Game!!!)

And here's a shot out my back door this morning.  We don't usually leave Bentley out by himself, but it was 29 degrees here in Florida this morning & after 20 minutes, I was too cold to stay out any longer, so I came inside & watched him through the door.  I think he was looking for the yippie dogs next door, but they were smart enough to stay inside.
