Four Day Weekends...Yes and Please!

The ten hours I dragged through at work yesterday are a thing of the past now. After what seemed like the most drawn out week, I am now upon a long weekend with four glorious days ahead of me. I know many of you teacher bloggers are rejoicing in your last days of school but I still have a little over a month till my summer vacation comes.

Despite the chilly 45 degree windy day we're having here in Pennsylvania, I always feel like Memorial Day is the kick off to summer. Yeah, you can tell me that it doesn't officially start till June, but I believe in willing things into existence in hope that Mother Nature gets my memo and finally sees the beauty in sunshine and warmer temps. Puhhhhleeasssseee.

So in the mean time, while I'm snuggled underneath my woobie drinking hot chocolate, this is how I would like to see my weekend look.

Wishful thinking friends.
Wishful thinking.

Happy Friday!!!

Click Chicks Photo Challenge - Celebrate

We thought of these topics last month but I also forgot about birthdays that we'd be celebrating this month. Lucky for me, we just celebrated my handsome nephews birthday and I was able to get some good pictures for my sister but also for this challenge. Score!

This weeks challenge was Celebrate and there was lots of that going around last weekend.

These were Jameson's Sesame cupcakes that my sister scooped up from Walmart, aren't they adorable?
I made cupcakes for the party myself, but mine are not as cute as these ones. Note to self: learn how to pipe icing better.

What did you 'celebrate' this week?!?

Spring Showers & Flowers

These little beauties are in my dirt filled yard. Bryan has yet to work on our yard so it the midst of the muddy madness, I get to enjoy these pretty pink azaleas in my flower bed. The raindrops also add a little extra spring love.

Now let's just hope my black thumb doesn't kill them.

Where My Narcissism Runs Wild.

That's what blogging kind of is about right?
Here we are sharing our lives and posting image after image of ourselves or things we love. Sure we do it for ourselves and to immortalize those memories and moments in time but we also do it a little bit for each other too. For a comment here and there congratulating, commiserating, or flattering us.

I'll be the first to admit that it strokes my ego when I get a new follower or a positive comment and in the same hand crushes me a little bit when someone unfollows or says something nasty. It's the circle of blogging life. Do I wish that I was 'blog famous' and had thousands of readers fawning over me....yeah sometimes. But then I reevaluate and remember that some of those bloggers sacrifice alot, including personal time and space to share with their readers. I guess that's where the line draws in putting yourself out there. There will always be a give and take in blogging and it's your choice how much your willing to give to reap the rewards you want.

I think I've finally come to a comfortable place with my blogging and the voice I want to put out there. I'm not the most eloquent writer nor the best photographer but I try to share my life in the way I see and hear it. I curse and take too many pictures of my dog and nature and I'm okay with that. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but what would be the use in me changing? I wouldn't be the real me and in reality if you don't like those sorts of things than we probably wouldn't be great friends on or offline anyway.

Yeah...this post kind of went off on tangent, so I'm going to try to veer it back to the task at hand...
