52 Weeks of ME- Week Twelve

Theme of the week:

Texture

I haven't played with textures in ages....and it isn't really something I've very good at. I gave it a go this week though....and couldn't decide between these two shots, so I'm just posting them both. What the heck, right? They were both taken on Thursday. One with the timer in my office, and one is handheld outside.

I can't wait to see what the other folks do. :)

Be sure to head on over to visit Jessie and Cara to see all the fabulous ladies taking part in this cool project.

Mental Health Puppy?

Ivy girl came to work with me for a short time.....30 minutes really, but it had already been a big day for her. She was the star of Kindergarten Show and Tell. Those kiddos wore her out. She could bare keep her little eyes open by the time I got her to work.

After saying a few "hellos" to the folks at work, I let her sit on my lap while I booted up my computer. The Hubby was on his way to come and get her. She wasn't satisfied on my lap, she just had to climb right up on my MESSY desk and take a look around. It was so cute. I'd never let her do such a thing at home, but she will likely never be back in my office again, so she was spoiled a bit. After a few sniffs...she just flopped right down on top of my planner, papers, stapler, and paperclip holder and fell fast asleep.

It was flat out one of the cutest things I have EVER seen. My office mate agreed. Sadly...The Hubby showed up, and snatched her away. :( We all felt the absence right away. She was only there for half an hour.....but she lifted our spirits.

Maybe she till be back.....I think we all could use a mental health puppy. She greatly improves the work environment. ♥

My Week 23

March 6th......this photo grabs my heart.....pulls it out of my chest, and throws it against a wall repeatedly. :( This is the LAST picture of Daisy Girl. It is awful. I took it because the story of my day was worry over Daisy. In this photo she is in the bathroom right next to the tub. She hadn't really wanted to move that day, but obviously wanted to be with Sugar Bear and I for bathtime. This was something she liked to do. She would sit by our tub as we played in the tub. She would try to reach her nose in there and lick a wet arm or leg if it was near enough. I was pleased that she had found the energy to come in the bathroom with us, and really felt like she was getting better. Her sad eyes tell the story....and probably within 7 hours of this photo she passed away. My poor sweet girl. :(

March 7th was an awful day.....our hearts were broken, and I had to tell Sugar Bear about Daisy's death. This photo was taken shortly after I told Sugar Bear. The Hubby had put together this rustic cross for Daisy's grave, so that Sugar Bear and I could write something on it. I wrote "Daisy Girl" on it, and Sugar added, "We love you!" This photo makes me feel weepy.

March 8th.....a new puppy. Yes, I know it seems so soon...and yes...it was, but that is how The Hubby rolls, and honestly...it has been a good good thing. You can read all about it here. Ivy is a cutie patootie!

March 9th.....Getting to know Ivy was the goal for the day. I could watch these two play together for hours.

March 10th was a BIG BIG BIG day for both Ivy and Sugar Bear. Show and Tell at school! What an adventure. They both LOVED it. Sugar Bear felt proud, and special, and Ivy loved all the attention. The children were are so wonderful. It couldn't have gone better.

March 11th could easily be described as an unusual day. Sugar Bear and I stayed home due to a Tsunami warning in our community. Our house is in the safety zone, while my work, might not. School was closed as well. So...us girls had a PJ day, while The Hubby spent the day at the harbor on his commercial fishing boat making sure it didn't damage the docks if the big waves came in. While the swells were larger than normal, there was no damage done, so we are very lucky. Sugar enjoyed a rare day of sunshine. She is all about swinging lately. She taught herself how to swing on her own while I was away in Georgia last January. She is VERY proud of herself. She loves this shot because it shows how high she goes. She loves to yell out, "MOM! Look how HIGH I can go!"

March 12th was another lazy day at home. I was in the mood to bake, so I whipped up a batch of Rye Peasant Bread. I hadn't made it in ages...and oh....my.....so yummy! I could eat the entire thing in one sitting if I wasn't worried about the calories.

So...there you have it...another week in the life of Corey. I'm gonna say that oddly enough....I have found this project to be harder than The Kitty Project. I am not sure why. I just don't feel very creative these days.
