Trying something new later in the week...


This is near Death Valley Junction. I adore old, busted things and have taken who knows how many shots of this one. That's an entrance to Death Valley in the background. There is a small herd of wild horses in the area that are fed and watered by the town - I love that!

I stumble across blogs that I fall in love with all the time. This week it was Abby Try Again. I am especially partial to photo blogs or blogs that feature photos and this one is fabulous!

While perusing through older posts, I found out about Five Senses Friday. It was started by Abby's friend Shari Altman and I think I'm going to add it to my list of things to blog. Each week you reflect upon what you enjoyed and either comment on Abby's blog or add it to your own.

The senses:

Hearing

Tasting

Seeing

Smelling

Feeling

I have been looking for a way to increase my awareness of my environment. This is PERFECT! I will see you all on Friday with the results!

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...

Maybe you've been wondering...

Where I've been... well, nowhere really. I have been trying to stay off the computer and get some studying done. Obviously this is not working very well since here I am, but it is an effort. This new test I am studying for to determine whether I'm cool enough to enter the Education program at Western Washington University is scaring the pants off me. I really wish they would accept my already passing Praxis scores as I have already gone through all the freaking out, stressing out, studying and lack of sleep for that test. I don't test very well. I really never have. I am full of that panicky test anxiety right up until the professor, etc says go, and then I calm down and keep telling myself, you know this or you don't... just breathe goober. I am almost always convinced that I'm going to fail, and fail badly and I can't remember actually ever failing, but it could still happen. So, now I stay up late (because that's the only time it's quiet here) a...
