Recently we have had some Crazy weather! Right after Thanksgiving we got hit with some snow one night pretty heavily. Enough to where it laid so beautiful the next morning. I then said to Aaryn, “Let’s go get our Christmas Card pictures taken.” I have a new camera that is amazing and an old tripod my grandmother gave me before she passed away. So we set it up on the timer with a remote and went to the pretty graveyard next to us and took our family Christmas Card pictures.
There was a thick fog that was slowly dissipating and the snow had fallen so peacefully that it was holding to the branches heavily undisturbed.
It was beautiful. The only problem was that Vespa was in no mood to smile, let alone suffer the cold.
This is my favorite tree/road shot might just have to blow this one up sometime and frame it.
We finally were able to capture a couple of good shots and the trees of snow were gorgeous! As the next couple of weeks progressed this is some of the crazy foggy weather we got.
I soooooo loooooove fog!
Here I am messing around with some camera moves. Pretty cool huh! Almost looks like lightening but through the fog and if you move the camera just right the street light makes this cool look!
And Yes that’s the Moon!
Pass the Virus Around (But of course make sure that last person gets hit the hardest)
Well Vespa got sick a couple of weeks ago enough to where I was really worried for she would not settle down and we soon found out after we went to the Children’s Hospital that she had a 102 degree temperature! She had some kind of virus and finally the doctor gave her some medicine. Aaryn then got it. And I don’t know why I thought at the time… “I feel pretty good, I really don’t think I’m going to get this, whatever it is.” Yeeeeaaah, what a DUMB thought! So now that Aaryn is feeling better, Vespa is on the mend, I think I might have it the worst! Lost my voice yesterday, it hurt so bad to even try to speak. Today, I haven’t said anything over a whisper, for like yesterday if I tried to talk normally my voice would die out and I would have coughing spasms. So here I am taking medicine, cough lozenges, blogging, trying to stay away from sugar, and thinking boy, “I could use a nice soooddda pop right now. DP, RB, Cream Soda, Raspberry Ginger Ale, anything.” Lolol!!
The Proper Way to Clean
Yes people there is a proper way to clean! But more importantly a thorough and right way to clean. Let’s first start off with this amazing thing called the Mini-Vac. If you haven’t seen them they are located in your everyday Wal-Mart or Target and sometimes the Dollar Store will even have a deal on them. You see growing up we never seemed to have a vacuum cleaner that seemed to work for very long. Maybe because I always had long hair. Dad would say that our Vacuum kept getting tangled up, stop and burn out an important rubber piece in the Vacuum. If you didn’t know it and it still turned on, many times whoever was vacuuming would just keep on pushing that piece of junk around. So needless to say the Vacuum hardly ever worked or I should say never worked. Then people in my house would just run it thinking that it cleaned floors. But I noticed those floors never got cleaned. Mom would always have us kids going around the floors on our hands and knees pick’n up fuzzies. So when I was single and out on my own, I thought to myself, “Noooooo, people, I’m not wasting my money on a vacuum that doesn’t work just to vacuum up the one room that I rent out. I don’t think so.” And that’s when I found this amazing invention called, The “Mini Vac.” Soooooo much better than the vacuum. And People!! It gets everything! Fuzzies, micro hairs, giblets, you name it!
It GETS IT!
Right now you may be thinking that, “This looks a lot like a tape roller.” Well it may look like an ordinary tape roller but it’s Naaahhtt. “THE MINI-VAC,” “Cheaper than a broom, stronger than a Vacuum, cleans up the house for those surprising holiday guests in a “Snap!” Let me tell ya, when I was single I had one of these things everywhere, in the car, bedroom, at work, etc. Lifesavers!
Now sad to say the vacuum we have now is just like the one growing up. Every once in a while a part of the vacuum flies off, as you’re thinking, “What the heck?” While looking and analyzing the floor to find the part that’s missing, you realize that this da-- contraption is not picking anything up anyways.
So I say again, why waste your money and a dirty looking house on one of these, when you can save time and money by going to your local Wal-Mart and picking up one of these today!
Amazing little contraption isn't;)
LoLolol!
Classy~Elegant~Christmastime
After everything is freshly clean and the kiddies have all gone to bed.
I took a few pictures of our wonderful tree that this year Aaryn chose to do a themed tree of
our favorite color royal blue, silver,
and white which I continued the theme in our back family room. Although my favorite ornaments of all.....are these
Yvette got us this Silver looking E ornament this year and Aaryn and I love it! Very classy!
I actually had three themes going on this year.
The back family room royal blue, silver, and white,
The front door dining/sitting room Christmas red and gold,
And in the back family room a showcase of snowman’s.
Outside our front door even matched.
Aaryn even hung our Tree Star from the celling as if it were floating right above the tree top.
I love it! The sweet lights of Christmastime always seem to melt my heart.
