Just Bragging

Last year I wrote a post about my sister Keeley who works at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. She just got back from her first puppy mill rescue back east and they have a video of her talking about the experience on their website. They have another one where you can see her avoiding the camera. (look for the redhead)

Just very proud of my little sis :)

It seems as though Foto Friday is taking a turn more along the lines of random than say improving any photo skills. But that's ok. I like random.

First, this is a horrible shot, other than you can still see how much fun Will was having. Maiken and I took Will and Lucia to a free kids science day at The Center. They had all sorts of experiments that you could walk around and do. But the kids favorite part....they just had the Tumbling Tots room open and they could run around and play. Will loved this tumbling wedge and spent almost the entire time running, rolling and hopping down it.


Just to prove they did have actual experiments, Will shooting off an Alka Seltzer rocket.


From a walk around the neighborhood. Hard times living along the tracks.

Very definition of random. Driving back to work on lunch, pass the Waste Management facility. There were two large roosters perched on top of an electrical box. At first I thought they were fake and then saw one move. I had to flip the car around and get a picture. There is a fence in between us but they were not bothered at all about me being there. So they definitely have expose to people. I wish I knew someone in that department cause I'm gonna have to try and find out more about these roosters.

Looking forward to next Friday because by then I will have pictures of SISTER TIME! Yay!

I didn't get a chance to take long lunches this week so didn't get to go out and take photos. So these are just kinda random.

Taken at the Orem mall. Gotta love these chances.


And I'm just excited about this new dresser I got that used to be my great-aunts. Maiken helped me re-arrange my room and I'm excited for the change. Now I just need to go through those boxes of things I've had in storage forever and pull out some of the stuff I never had room to display.

When I started this photo thing for some reason I was picturing that it was spring already and that we were at that time of year when it doesn't get dark till 8 p.m. Since we are not there, it has sort of hampered my picture taking time.

I've been limited to what I can do on lunch. Luckily I happen to know of a few parks in the Provo area. These were from a recent stroll in the wetlands area of Bicentennial Park.

Start your engines!

As part of my, I'm gonna try and not sit at home feeling sorry for the fact that I never leave the house phase, I signed up to take a community class through UVU. I was thinking maybe I would look at their photography or pottery, maybe guitar, very maybe dance, but none of those worked with my schedule. So......I am the latest enroll-y in Basic Automotive for Women.

I can't say I don't know anything about cars, I mean I did just change my head light, but my knowledge is pretty limited. All those nights of holding the flash light while my dad worked on our cars didn't seem to rub off much. Maybe because my mind was wandering towards boys.

I tend to feel a huge knot in my stomach whenever I have to take my car in somewhere. And my dad has called more than one place for me. A lot of this has to do with a level of social anxiety, but hey having a little more knowledge can't help right?

I did get a little nervous just looking at the campus map though and trying to figure out where I will need to go, where I can park. It says you will bring your own car and be hands on. Looking at the map I don't see where I get my car to the building? Its a huge building which part do I go to? I might have to do a walk by next week before the class starts. I'm already dreading walking in that first day not knowing anyone.

I wonder if we will have homework? A test? I didn't think this through very well. Good thing I already paid, I'm committed. March 9th is when it will all start. I need to clean my car before then.
