The other pictures

Posted on by

You know the ones I’m talking about. The ones that don’t make the cut. I take somewhere in the neighborhood of 60-200 pictures a week. Thank goodness for digital cameras and good memory sticks. Of those pictures only half or so are good semiclear shots.  What do you do with the rest?  I save them.  I watched a show (appropriately the second day of vacation two years ago) that said not to delete any pictures because you never know what gem you might find later.  Waldo and I took that to heart and now my pictures folder is bursting with :the other pictures” but that’s ok with me.

I was looking through my latest Lily folder and started laughing.  Some of those pictures are so bad they are great.  So I wanted to share.  I k now it seems crazy.  Usually when a blogger post a slightly blurry shot they apologize and here I am dedicating a whole post to blurry/out of focus/etc pictures.  I guess that’s just me, a little blurry and out of focus.

happy "other picture"

This next one is my favorite and the one that inspired this post. I think she looks like the “monster” guy from Gooneys

What do you do with your “other pictures”? Do you have any to share? I can promise there will be more here soon.

Aloha Friday 6-12-09

Posted on by

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So Kailani thought that on Fridays she would take it easy on posting, too. I like the idea, therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. Be sure to check Kailani out.

How do you find time to do everything you want/need to do in a day?

I am now a WAHM and I realized I just don’t have time to do everything I want to in a day.  I am so far behind in my blog reader that its scary, I have no idea how or when I’m going to get caught up.  Oh and and then there’s my blog, my poor blog that I hope doesn’t fall through the cracks.  I’m going to work really hard to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Sorry if I haven’t commented lately or if my comments are shorter/less thoughtful then before.

My Baby’s Mind Monday-6-8-09

My friend Tatiana over at It was a Very Good Year started this meme. Each Monday you look inside your baby’s mind and let us know what you find. Be sure to go show her some love.

This is my inspiration picture this week:

crying in the carseat

Dear Mama,

We’ve already been over the whole hatred of tummy time do I really have to tell you how much I hate the car seat? Why oh why do you insist in trapping me in here rather then holding me close like you claim to like so much? I have to admit its kind of fun when Daddy swings me in the car seat but then you guys put me in the back seat all be my lonesome and as a big slap in the face you make me face backwards.

I don’t care how many fun toys (and they are fun, thanks) you hook on it I will still scream 95% of the time we are in the car just to remind you how much I hate it. Sometimes when you sing to me I like that and will give you a little break but most of the time I’m just too mad about being all alone to care about twinkling stars or rowing boats and the marching ants that never do the same thing twice.

You try hard to convince me that the seat is the “safe” way to travel but I’m super skeptical. I mean you and Daddy don’t use them, why should I? And stop telling me to take a nap in it. I don’t want to go to sleep, I might miss something.

I do appreciate that you and Daddy take me out when we get to the store. I really like looking around at people and I really like it when people stop us and remind you how cute I am. But then you put me back in it when we go to leave, its not fair!

Love,
Lily

As a renter, when you move out of a place do you super clean it or do you just do the say bathroom and kitchen?

If anyone is a landlord what do you expect?

As followers of this blog know we just moved.  We knew I wouldn’t really be able to do much because of Lily so we enlisted the help of some friends.  We paid them to help so they were willing to go just about as far as I wanted.   But by half way through the day they were all telling me that no one cleans as much as I wanted and no one expects it.  I wanted wall washed and the carpets cleaned and the whole nine yards.  We comprimised on a few points but overall I got my way.  So I want to know what others do.
