Day 26

An old photo of me.

This is the oldest profile picture that I could on Facebook. It was posted on September 20th, 2011.

To find this treasure, I had to ask Luke to dig into our photo archive. This was taken at a Carls Jr on September 10th, 2007. Probably taken by Justin by the look on my face.

Day 25

My 5 favorite blogs.

I do not generally read standard blogs. These may not "count".

Daily:
Defranco Fam
Yummly
PhilliD

The Defranco Show

Recently, I have been jumping around blogs to start my roach colony for the dragons. In the past I have frequented parenting Blogs to deal with specific issues.

Day 15

Timeline of my day.

Morning: Woke up with the sun, Dezmond has tried waking up a couple of times already as he is still sick. Did a small task for INK while Dezmond played on the floor. Contemplated putting school on hold so that I can heal and catch up from pregnancy. Callan slept in till almost 9:30. Once Callan saw the snow outside he said, "we need to build a snowman!". We ate breakfast quickly, fed the dragons and got he boys dressed. After nursing Dezmond for a minute he fell asleep. Callan and I played for a while before getting our snow gear on for school. Dezmond woke up, we rushed to play in the snow and left for school. 

Afternoon: I headed to GiGi's, stopped in Sandy for lunch, realized I forgot my textbook, and turned back towards home. On the drive back, I spilt my soda on my laptop. Finally got back to GiGi's to drop off Dezmond. Once at the library, I found 3 books that I have been wanting for our trip! I was also able to finish research for my Design History Essay on a Typeface Designer. 

Evening: Arrived home, gave the boys a bath, then we played and ate crackers. Lance arrived with food. We teased Callan by putting chips in his "cookie" bowl. He was quite upset till Lance asked if they were his "cookie chips" then we all laughed as the mountain of chips came tumbling down. Luke came home and helped me with my quizzes. 

Night: Boys fell asleep on the couch, Luke left to fix the Nissan, and Lance graciously helped me finish my web design homework. Finally, I read till Luke got home. 

Reflection: A VERY busy day and I wouldn't change a thing.

Day 13

What is my earliest memory?

Watching lightening with my father outside on the porch. I think that we were counting the seconds before we heard the thunder.

I remember jumping off the headboard onto my parent's water bed. Not sure how I got away with that. I must have been pretty young to not pop it.

A fairly early memory of mine is wanting to play video games with my brother. He finally caved and we played bubble bobble. I was so happy.

Day 31

Why do I blog?

I like being able to go to someone's Facebook page and see that they are doing alright. Although, I do not think that it is the place to "spill". I guess I feel that if someone wants to see/read how me and my family are doing then they can come to blogger to see it. If they are not close enough to me, then they likely don't know this exists. I could see myself locking this blog. For now, it will stay open, as it is not an issue.

I try to keep a personal journal as well. I hope that my journal will bring my family some comfort when I die. I want them to read it and remember the times that I write about.

Day 30

What is in my makeup bag.

In highschool, I would not leave the house without eyeliner on. Now, I forget to put makeup on at all. I have more important things to remember to do before leaving the house. Such as; grab the baby, clothe the baby, put more diapers in the diaper bag, insure a plentiful amount of wipes, snatch an extra outfit for the baby... Those are just the first that come to mind. That's excluding everything we need for Callan (socks, shoes, hat, ext)

Heres a short list of my makeup bag (when I wear it):
Black eyeliner
Mascara
Eye primer/bag hider color
Lip plumper
Purple shadow

After posting this I may begin wearing it again. No promises.
