I'm Still Here!

So Bryan told me I need to keep my blog more updated so I thought I'd just throw something out there so people know I'm still alive. Not too much going on at the moment. I'm still keeping up more or less on my 365 Days project so that's good. I successfully finished the month of January so I thought I'd post a few of my favorites.

Sheila had her super cute little baby girl a couple Sundays ago, Lara Statter, on January 25th. I think she looks a lot like Lachlan did when he was born so we know she's gonna be super cute.

Other than that not much else has been going on but I will try and be better about keeping my blog more updated. I mean really, what else have I got to do?

Again...

I am participating in 365 Days on Flickr. I failed out last time but for Christmas Bryan got me a new fancy camera so my desire to try again is ignited, wish me luck! I'm five days in and so far so good. The new camera is a lot of fun so I hope that keeps me going.

I have also signed up with Courtney & Heather to do the Salt Lake City 5K in April. All there is to do now is get in shape...it's gonna be hell. It'll be good for me though I've gotten way to fat and lazy as of late. I hope to go on my running adventures with Tibor because I know he'll love it but it may be detrimental to my health. I hope he plays nice. That dog can pull your arm out of your socket if he really wants to.

I'll think about bringing Buffy too when her poor little paw heals because I don't want to risk making it worse. She wouldn't be able to keep up right now anyways. Her run is a Tibor walk so it'll end up being quite a work out for her. I'll get her going when she gets a bit older. Again, wish me luck! I'll need it for both of my endeavors!

Beautiful Brunette of the Week!

This 365 days photo of me won Beautiful Brunette of the Week! Hooray, I must not be totally ugly!

Ahh, Poop.

For those of you who may or may not know, Tibor went through a phase of eating his own poop. This was so not cool in my book and as far as I know, or rather hoping, he is no longer eating his poop. Why bring this up then? Because I often discuss with Courtney my canine troubles and she turned me onto a blog entry written by Dooce that made me laugh my ass off! Seriously Courtney, you gotta warn a girl when you send her e-mails she may read at work. It was so hard trying not to laugh out loud. I thought I was going to explode. The comments people made were so funny. I actually had to stop reading a few times and calm down. I've decided that poop is pretty much one of the funniest words ever because I'm apparently twelve years old. This entry actually made me not feel so bad that Tibor was a closet poop eater. Apparently this is a very normal dog thing to do. It's still not ok of course and I've now resorted to spraying Tibor in the mouth with bitter apple spray whenever I catch him eating poo then spraying the poo with bitter apple because the stuff we got to put on Tibor's food was not curbing the poop eating; I actually think it encouraged his eating of poo. It's been over a week now since I've caught the pup eating poop so I chose to believe it has stopped, of course, I have been letting him be outside unsupervised more often so that could be why too. In any case, let the dog lick you at your own risk...

Now moving on to non-poop matters...

This photo is officially the most viewed photo on my Flickr account. I don't get it. It's my toes! People are weird about feet. I actually think this is one of my worst 365 Days pictures, maybe people are looking at it in disgust but I've gotten very positive comments on it. Again, I just don't get it. The pictures I think aren't very good people seem to love and the ones I love people seem to think are crap. It's quite fascinating actually. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on this photo as well:

Again, I don't get it. I did this one real quick because I was tired and didn't want to try and be creative but it's gotten a lot of views and people seem to like it. I just think it's weird.

I've also joined a new group in Flickr called Hit, Miss or Maybe in which you post a photo and three people rate it on whether or not they like it. At first, I thought it would be kind of cool but now I'm having second thoughts. I just can't feel bad if someone doesn't like my picture and I'm afraid someone is going to say I hate your pictures because you're ugly and then I'll have to go crawl into a corner, get into a fetal position, and rock back and forth sobbing and that may look a little weird at work. I'm going to give it a try though and see what happens. Here's the first photo I put up:

It's already gotten one Maybe and one Miss so I guess I don't have to cry yet. See, I love this picture but people don't seem to like it as much. I guess it is kind of funky. I was playing around with a photo editor on this one maybe people just don't like that as much. Who knows? Would it be better had I have put some feet in there?

Dermatological Fun!

If you haven't guessed already yesterday I went to my first ever dermatologist visit and I have to say it was...awkward... Having some dude gently touch your face that isn't your husband is kinda weird. I'm not saying the Doc was weird or anything just the situation, especially when the poor guy had to touch my nasty legs! First of all I had to apologize to him in advance for the condition of my legs and he replies "why are they hairy or something?" and I quietly reply, "yes..." His response makes me think I was not the first lady to come into his office with furry legs. I wasn't kidding either, I haven't shaved my legs since I went to Hawaii in December, sorry if I'm bordering on TMI here. :p

So I had to pull up my pant legs and flash my nice white, hairy, hive-ridden legs so the Doc can check it out but he wanted to get the full leg experience so he proceeded to take off my shoes and my socks for me, which again, having a dude other than my husband do that was a little weird but whatever, he's a doctor, right? That automatically makes any probing or prodding of my body ok... Anywho, now the poor guy gets the nasty leg & the nasty feet to enjoy, at least I recently got a pedicure.

The diagnosis? I'm apparently having an allergic reaction to something. Since I haven't been using anything different on my skin I now have to cease and desist on using anything on my skin except for the ointment that he prescribed me. Even make-up! I have to go a full week with no make-up, ugh, it's gonna be scary. I'm gonna have horrifying 365days pictures...

All in all I think I had a successful dermatologist visit and hopefully my face will soon stop feeling like a consta-sunburn.

After my fun little visit I decided to celebrate my acquisition of ointments by stopping off at the bookstore on my way back to work and get myself a S'mors Luna Bar and a Sprite Zero. When I got back to the office I was so excited about my soda that I was not cautious of the opening of the soda and it exploded everywhere! Not a quite little explosion that you can hide and discretely clean up the mess before anyone notices, but a huge loud, the whole office heard explosion! My boss totally turned around and gave me a 'snuh?' face. It was a touch embarrassing... I then had to go do the walk to shame to procure myself some paper towels to clean up my huge mess. I will now be much more cautious of opening sodas from here on out.

365 Days

I've joined the 365 Days group on Flickr. This is where you take a self portrait of yourself, :p , for a year. My first self portrait isn't very creative but hey, I've got a year to get creative, right?
