A Thankful Thanksgiving

November 26, 2009 – 10:38 pm

Do you know why I love Thanksgiving? Alright, besides all of the good food and seeing family. Its a time to remember of everything that I am thankful for and I cherish. I mean really we should all realize what we are thankful for everyday but sometimes we forget.

There is so much that I am thankful for. I am not going into deep detail because the list probably would never end. The main two people that I am thankful for are my mother and my grandma. I would not be the person that I am today if it was not for their guidance and love. My family may be small but its strong and we stick together through everything. Love is stronger than anything.Thanks mother and grandma.

Another thing I am thankful for are my furry family. They are always teaching me something through their patience, love and their unique personalities. They give so much love and sometimes more love than a lot of people out there. They may not talk but they really help guide me through life. Knowing that they will always love me and be there is all I need from them. Thanks Princess, Lady, Oliver and Callie.

Last thing that I am thankful for that I am going to share is Life. Sounds ridiculous? Well, its not. You never know when you could be taking your last walk, eating your last meal or even breathing your last breath. We all know life is short but sometimes we do not realize how short it can be. No one knows exactly when they are going to die. So, cherish every second of it and take every chance you get to enjoy it. Thanks God for giving me life.

It was a great day full of family time with my mom and grandma. Since, my grandma lives in an assistant living place my mom brought her over to our house for Thanksgiving. She had fun and enjoyed seeing me. Grandma has a tendency to repeat herself but what would you expect at her grand age. Hey, at least I will never forget our conversations. They are glued into my brain. She sure is one tough lady and enjoyed the food mom made. P.S. She thought it was Christmas. I guess she is excited for gifts. Do not worry Grandma, Christmas will be here shortly.

The only time you will ever see my mom spend hours in the kitchen cooking is for holidays like Thanksgiving. She is not a big cooker but when she does cook it tastes good. All the food was good today. Well, besides the zucchini, but thats because I dont like it. Eww. Icky. I did eat the turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green beans and the mashed yams. I was stuffed after all that food. Probably gained a few pounds but thats alright. That will burn off pretty quickly.

I hope everyone had a nice thankful Thanksgiving like I did. Hope you all ate a lot and had a few laughs. I do hope you all took a moment and realized what you are truely thankful for. So, my question for you all is what is your favorite food to eat on Thanksgiving? Mine is stuffing. Its always yummy and good. Stay thankful. Peace.

Dogs Are Inspiration

November 16, 2009 – 12:35 am

TheDogPrincess_09

There is a lot in life that inspires me to move forward and try to succeed. But dogs inspire me the most. With their eyes, expressions and just their passion to live in the day keeps me going. Princess who is in the photo above is my main guide in life. Thats my girl. The one I can hug hug hug and she will just stay where she is until I feel better. She has a lot of patience and that to me is very important in life. I use to be very impatient. At least when I was younger. I would go nuts if I did not get food in my stomach as soon as I was hungry. I may still be upset if I do not eat for a long time but I can wait now. I can sit in a restaurant and not throw utensils around and draw on walls. Okay, I never drew on walls when I was hungry but it sounded like something I would do if I had a crayon in my little hands.

Lady6_09

Speaking of food and being hungry, here is the Lady. Food freak of the pack. She inspires me to eat all I can. Just grab anything that is edible. She is right though. You never know when you could be living with no food. Just think of all the poor people in the world who search for a piece of bread everyday and thats how they live their life. She makes me thankful that I have food that I can eat and share with the pack. We take so much for granted in life and dont stop to realize how precious everything we have is.

PuppyFaceOliver_09

Ah, its Oliver. The spunky happy pill of the pack. He makes me laugh everyday someway or another. Oliver is such a inspiration to just live. He is so happy and playful. All he wants to do is live life. He takes every chance he can get out there and enjoy life. You all know the energizer bunny. Well, Oliver is the energizer puppy. So, if Oliver could talk to you all he would tell all of you to always have fun no matter how old you are. Live life to the fullest and just go crazy. Well, just not too crazy.

I took these photos of the pooches today. Sun was out for once so I grabbed my camera and took a lot of great photos of the pack. You can see the rest of the photos on my flickr page. There are a lot of new ones because I liked most of them I took today. I hope you do too. Let me know what you think of them and I would also like to know what is your inspirations in life. Everyone has atleast one even if you do not realize it. It could be anything that just inspires you one way or another. Well, I am going to listen to some tunes and surf the net for awhile until I am sleepy to sleep. Stay inspired. Peace.

Self Portraits

Career Planning

October 6, 2009 – 10:01 pm

Self_Portrait_09After high school planning. Ah, that’s what senior year is all about. What do I want to do after high school? That is the big question of the year. Looking into some colleges and different types of courses. If I decide not to go to college I will get a job somewhere. I have a whole brain full of ideas. Just need to see which one I want to make my main career with. So many ideas. So much I could succeed at. Good thing I have time to decide what I want to do.

Half of the day I go to my regular school and then the other half I go to a technical school for dog grooming. I dont want to make dog grooming my main career. Plus it is way too much perfection for me to handle. I like to have that as a backup just in case I need to make some money at some point in my life. It is always good to have some kind of backup for an emergency. I will probably end up doing something with dogs or photography. Maybe even both. I will see where my life takes me and what there is for me.

Self portraits. I cannot resist them. Just lots of fun. I could take photos of me all day. Hehe. Even though I am definately not model material. It is just fun. I would not want to be a model anyways. Even if I was good looking as a model. So, I thought id share a self portrait with you. Enjoy.

Overall, my day was not bad. Just a regular day. Regular work. Regular gossip. Just a day of normality. Time to relax my mind and bones and listen to some music and surf the net until I fall asleep. *Sneeze*. Bless me. I hope you all had a good day of work or school. If you do not do either I hope your day was nice. Stay happy and healthy. Peace.

TGIF!

July 17, 2009 – 8:03 pm

White Princess NoseI know everyone is excited that it’s Friday and I you should be. My friday was long and slow. Not like I did anything but last night I had a really bad sinus headache and I could not sleep. I was up the whole night and today. I could of passed out a few hours ago but I did not want to waste the day sleeping. I am so thick headed and stubborn. Anyways, besides that I did chores around the house and worked with social media stuff on the computer. That was my exciting Friday.

Tomarrow morning my mom, the dogs and I are going up to the cabin. On the way there we are dropping off two photos I took for a photo contest at the State Fair in August. I will make a post with the two photos that I entered into the contest soon. Another thing is I have not started either of the two blogs yet. Maybe I will do that this weekend at the cabin if I can still “barrow” internet up there. I think for the social blog I am gonna call it aivztech. I mean yea its not like a simple title but it represents me. I am stick thinking and always taking more ideas.

Like the photo? Its my special girl Princess. Look at that adorable big pink nose she has. I love her so much. She was on my bed and I did a whole set of her but this was really the only one I liked. Yes, I am very picky with photos. I can take a hundred photos and only keep ten. Just the way I am. Which is not bad when it comes to photography because all I want is the best. So it was dark but I brightened it and I like the look. Let me know what you think. I hope you all have a fun safe weekend and TGIF! Peace.

nature summer

Hosta Wednesday

July 15, 2009 – 5:35 pm

Hostas So, this Wednesday has been going pretty well. Its a sunny clear day. This morning I woke up with Princess next to me which was lovely since she usually sleeps under my bed during the summer. She probably was on my bed because I groomed her yesterday so she does not have as much hair as she use to. Poor girl but she is looking good still.

After a little while from waking up I took my usual long bicycle ride on the path through some parks I am near. It takes about two hours total to go from my house to the end of the path and back again to my house. Its probably around 20 miles I bike ride. My mother got this little gadget to track how many miles I go but we haven’t attached it yet to my bicycle. It was a good ride. Not too many people out on the path because its during the week. I got home and felt refreshed and relaxed.

Summer is going well. Not a very hot summer yet but that is fine with me. Its hot but not mad hot. The weather is not bad. Some serious thunderstorms but mainly lovely weather.

The photo of these hostas was taken awhile ago but just opened it and edited it. Isnt it lovely?

Its amazing how lovely nature is. Just so beautiful and free. So many interesting plants to photograph and enjoy. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and I will post again soon with more photos. Peace.

Cabin Foods Weekends

An Early Friday Morning

June 26, 2009 – 7:42 pm

homemade_lil_pizza Goodmorning everyone. Its a nice friday morning and right now I am watching a busy squirrel on a wire outside my window. It amazes me how well they can balance on their little feet. I woke up at 6:45 which is rare for a non morning person like me but I am awake and decided to enjoy the morning life. The birds are chirping away all around the house. They sound so lovely and are great singers. I let the dogs out in the backyard and they were surprised that I was the one letting them out instead of my mom.  Oliver looks so cute and small with his summer haircut I gave him yesterday. Do not tell my two other dogs but I am bringing the clippers and other grooming supplies with me to the cabin so they can get their summer cuts too.

My mom, our three dogs and I are going to the cabin today for the weekend which will be nice and fun. I am going to take lots of photography and walks with the dogs around the lake. There is a lot more nature out there to photograph and enjoy. I love the country. Filled with wildlife and peacefulness. I will see if I have internet up there. I have been “borrowing” some from one of my neighbors. If I do not have internet up their it will be sad but I will have to wait til sunday evening to post again.

The photo is of a little home made pizza I made last night for myself. It looks good doesn’t it? Well it was really yummy.  I can cook some things. Pizza, pasta, soup, pasta, cookies and pasta.

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend if I do not talk to you during it. Stay happy and healthy.

Town Photo Contest 2009

May 28, 2009 – 4:02 am

Underground

This is the second year my town is having their annual photo contest for teens. I entered it last year with the photo Fun At The Dog Park and won first place. This year I entered the photo above and I am hoping it does well. No photo could ever compare to the one I took last year but that does not stop me from enjoying photography and shooting what interests me. I entered not to just try to win but to show what I can photograph and to have fun. Lets hope the judges like it. I know I do and my mother does. Wish me luck.

I would like to know what you all think of this photo. You can compliment or criticize. Share your thoughts about it.
