Day 261 - follow the trail

Living near an Air Force Base, you see these plane

trails all day long. Boy i wish those trees weren't in the way.

Day 260 - ring my bell

Day 259 - I :heart: Shutterfly

This is the second book I recently made/received from Shutterfly.

It's of our 2004 Family Vacation.

I LOVE IT!

Thanks to Sherry for letting us know how to get these books

for "free".

(okay, the 8.5x11 leatherbound, 20 pg book was free. I paid for the extra pgs.)

Still, I got this $63.00 book for $21. Yeah baby!

Day 258 - D'oh!

Okay, I "officially" suck. I lost my momentum BIG TIME in doing

my 365 project. Oh well...here I am, back on the saddle again

(ahh...why does that remind me of "Sleepless in Seattle"? lol)

So here's my inspiration for today.

My squishee.

When I saw that 7-11 was going "simpsons" I had to get a set of the Squishee cups.

No, I haven't watched the show in...oh....about 7 years.

No, I won't be seeing the movie; couldn't care less.

But still...I had to have my Squishee cups.

Geekette to the CORE baby! Yeah!

Day 257 - I love a freebie

Got my "freebie" book from Shutterfly...happy dance!!!!!!

I looooooooove it.

$60 book, $24. WOOT!

supplies. You see the pirate/ skull theme seems to be the trend these days.

Day 245 - where there's smoke...

there's fire....somewhere. Ash and smoke filled
the air today. It turned the sun a pinkish-orange
and cast a weird hue in the sky.

***just a note***

I took over 400 photos in 3 days time (whoa doggie!)
I wish I could show more...it was so hard to choose ones for the blog day.
I hope you enjoy them!

Day 244 - Our aquarium "find"

It's a cool paperweight and the jellyfish actually glows in the dark!

Day 243 - Vacation no more...but presents abound!

my hubby bought this for me without my knowledge and surprised me with it later on at lunch. I was SO excited!! It came in a gorgeous Limoges' box with a similar hammerhead shark on top.

Day 242 - Vacation Day 3; homeward bound

someone "wrote" this on a sand dune with kelp. I, of course, HAD to photograph it!

my future photographer. :)

These were up and down the the highway on both sides...leading you to the missions.

Day 241 - Vacation Day 3; swim with da fishes
