Day 14~ 5 facts about me

5. I’ m planning my next tattoo ~ Sissy and I will get Chinese symbols of Big sis /Lil’ Sis or maybe some flowers …not really sure but it will be something.

4. I have never had a broken bone.

3. I make lists of things to do ~I feel productive when I cross things off.

 2. I talk too much~ I do. Blogging is good because it forces me to edit out the nonsense (well…a lot of it anyway). Blogging saves my friends from having to listen to some of my yammering on those days when I am most intensely yamm-ish.

1. I may be menopausal~ Yeah. Possibly TMI. Deal with it. Being menopausal (or nearly so) doesn’t exactly terrify me. I’m not thrilled either. But That’s Life I’ll deal with it.

Day 13 - Technology

I was late posting this one b/c my camera broke and I was so busy at work. But problem solved replaced my camera with this awesome little camera . Creepy how it happened the same time I needed a technology pic.  It a little bigger than a credit card.. but very light. Its a typical point & shoot camera. Not liking the setup of the buttons but I guess I'll get used to it.  Sweet deal @ the Source less than $125.00 with a new memory card.

Day 6 ~ From a Distance

Day 6- From a Distance

Carbonear Island  is located at the mouth of Carbonear harbour.During the Battle of Carbonear (1697) the abandoned town was burned, but the residents were successful in defending the island from capture thanks to fortifications they had erected with their own funds, the earth works walls of which are still evident. It continued to be an important refuge for settlers in the region during subsequent attacks from the French and later by American privateers until the early 19th century.Carbonear Islands military importance was recognized in 1954 when it was designated a site of national significance and in 1981 it was officially declared a national historic site of Canada. The first of a series of excavations began on the island in 2010 to learn more about its role in protecting English North America, and approximately 1300 artifacts were found in the first summer's dig.

Day 5 ~ What I Ate

So I'm not that great at cooking. I'd go as far as to say I'd starve if it wasn't for hubby. But I can make some basic meals and macaroni & cheese is one of them. So for supper tonight it's Mac & Cheese.

 MACARONI & CHEESE

3 cups macaroni ,  bread crumbs ( maybe a cup or less) , garlic powder, onion powder or flakes, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, and grated cheese ( I used 2 fistfuls).

Pour cooked macaroni into a greased dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs add garlic & onion. Stir. Then add milk and cheese; Stir. Top with grated cheese. Baked for 15- 20 mins.

30 Day Photo Challenge


I've decided to try out a 30 day photo challenge just to help myself get back into the habit of regular blogging. It's pretty self explanatory, but basically days 1-30 there is a certain photo I’ll take for that particular day and post it here on my blog. If anyone else is up to the challenge ~ post a link to your site and I will take a look. Here is the list … let’s see how I do.

Day 1

Movie Night Name Tag

So first on the list is Name. I took a picture of my name tag which was used when some classmates and I hosted a movie night at the College. Kudos to Carolyn for making the awesome tags!
