Deep In The Forrest

Today is WWC Day, yes... I am still working up the photos I want to use. I haven't had much time to think on the keywords for this week, "Plain" and "Adorned". I hate lagging behind, but I will have mine up, hopefully soon. That is, if I can find decent subject matter. It may be later in the evening, or possibly tomorrow before I get them up... My apologies. Meanwhile, enjoy this hilarious composite I made of my husband... I laughed so hard when I created this... I give you, the fabuloso Guitar Player, "Mr. Awesome!" === If you haven't joined the fun yet, go here (Tink's Blog) for details. Don't forget, we also have a Flickr group for easy shareability. Plus, you get to find out the new words at least an hour earlier. Happy snapping! The words for next week are: Then and Now.

Mystery and Chaos... hmmm, that sounds thrilling! Is it a new story by yours truly?? Or is it a true event happening to me? No, it is the theme of this week's Weekly Words Challenge (WWC) courtsey of the lovely Tink! Special Note: My Sincere Apologies for the "lateness" of my entries, and that I disguised them with yesterday's date. :) So here we go. Chaos Chaos in the sky in these next two shots... Seems as though retrieving freight would be total Chaos Sign at Club Chaos, Memphis This car looks as though it has been through Chaos Chaos with Blade at "Mee Mee's House" Mystery A Mysterious Tunnel My sister, Debbie's 1940 Ford (has an air of Mystery) Even MORE Mystery when I gave it an antique photo look Old building reeks of Mystery It is a Mystery why we haven't used this service on 90% of Tennesseans! ;) Mysterious Person behind his computer This one is just pretty... I love sunsets.

( Meanwhile, at the Forrest , while the rest of the world sleeps peacefully...) 2:00 a.m. I wake up, freaking out thinking that I am running late. Oddly, I feel perfectly refreshed (wide-awake in fact) and ready to start the day. However, looking at the clock when I realize it is only 2 a.m., I force myself to go back to sleep and catch 'a few more winks'. 5:40 a.m. the alarm begins its daily act of terrorism, but I don't hear it until closer to 6:00. 5:55 a.m. I roll over slightly and nudge Richie, telling him it is '6 and ask him (rather inaudibly) if we're going to the gym'? To be a good sport, I nudge him a couple more times, he seems unresponsive so I hit the snooze button and settle back into my feather pillow. 6:20something, I hit the snooze again and then again a few more times... by now, feeling sleepy enough to probably sleep until noon. 7:14 a.m. I jump up, and begin the arduous task of opening my now sleep-welded eyes. 7:25 a.m. I enter the shower, w...

Or losing patience more so. Those that know me well, know that I am not a morning person in the least. Also, during those tender loving morning hours you will find me in a bit of a rush too because I am a procrastinator, running late, hitting the snooze button one too many times. This morning, I was doing pretty good though as Richie and I are once again tackling the Couch to 5K running plan . So I'd already had my morning walk/run and had some good healthy oatmeal in my belly. Plenty of time to spare, not plenty but more than usual so I stop off at the gas station for a quick fill-up. I'm nearly finished pumping the petrol, close the gas cap, and I'm veering towards my door to get in and head on towards my work day. Just then I am obstructed by none other than an early-bird Jehovah's Witness. These Jehovah's Witnesses used to come to our house it seemed a lot when I was a child. That was pretty brave of them as we had an extensively long driveway. They must've ...
