Sunsets are one of my favorite things..


It's been a bit since I have made my own post - I know I'm such a slacker. I have been enjoying so many other wonderful blogs this summer that I just keep forgetting.

A couple of quick updates. The crazy Praxis I that I was stressing about most of the summer has come and gone. AND I passed with flying colors. I will also stress out for the big tests, but I always manage to get through them. Just one my many little neuroses.

I also found out that I will be able to finally have my Associate of Arts degree by the end of this semester! After so many years, finally something to show for it! I am still doing a little happy dance about that one! The best part being that my new found love of art classes actually contributed to this moving up of the estimated date of graduation! Yay for following what I wanted to do! =)

The picture above is from about a week or so ago. The fires in California are sending us hazy days and gorgeous sunsets. Amazing that when things are so crazy that we could see something so beautiful. I tried to capture the dark red sun, but ended up mostly with a big, bright spot. So, instead I selected one that showed more of the delightful soft lighting. So much more to learn about the little camera, but I'll keep on trucking.

I will try to be more diligent with posts, but with 17 credits this semester I am thinking they will be sparse. I am aiming for at least a couple a week, even if it's just a quick check in.

Happy Blogging!

Thanks so much! I am sure there will be a few ranting and raving posts throughout the semester as I try to stay sane... LOL

It's Saturday! And that means it's time for Five Senses Friday... Thanks so much to Abby Try Again for sharing this wonderful idea! Seeing: My art teacher's house at a BBQ tonight. It was such a lovely space. Smelling: Baked beans simmering in the crockpot. droool... Tasting: Cherries! Again, I know. But this was off the cherry tree in the yard! I beat the birds to one! Feeling: Content and excited for a move this fall. Hearing: The kitty happily purring next to me. Love that sound! Play along if you like (comment and let me know if you do, I want to see what you come up with!). I enjoyed this little experiment in the senses. See you for another next week! I'm off this weekend to Goldfield a bit north of here in Nevada. It's a restored ghost town, sort of. For the last few years they have been having a Memorial Day Weekend Rendezvous of sorts. Mostly lots of BBQ. Can't wait to get shots of the lovely old west buildings for some art projects I'm pl

Today, a completely random thought post. Including a completely random photo that has nothing to do with what I am saying. I just like to have pictures in my posts, I think it makes them pretty...=) The wind has finally died down and I am really looking forward to a walk tonight after my second to last ever math class! Have I mentioned that I am excited to be done with the class!?! No, well I am! The professor is one of those people who thinks he is funny, but really is not. He is also one of those people who thinks jokes make the class more fun, but has not the timing for such a thing. As a result, the class is primarily uncomfortable and full of awkward silences. That is when he acknowledges that there are other people in the room besides himself. You know the ones right?!? I have been trying to focus on the positive and most of the time I can laugh about whatever it is eventually. And, eventually this will also be hilaaaaaaarious... yeah, right after I finish my final on Mond

Zeitgeist and the month of December…

Image
makes I am planning to blog through the month of December, you know one of those blog everyday kind of clubs.  I like the idea of them a lot – though I’m not promising anything spectacular, because I tend to get sidetracked a lot, but I am planning to blog at least a little. I wasn’t even going to bother attempting another one of these things – the dismal failures and the guilt, the added stress from the guilt, who needs it really!?! I suppose if I actually made it all the way through I’d feel pretty awesome but it’s all good. Actually, what most excited me about this blog all the month thing was the theme – Zeitgeist – isn’t that just one of the coolest words ever? It just sounds cool.  I am thinking of adopting it as my theme for 2011 – I’m not joking, I like it that much. In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge
