Day 16 of "30 Days of Me Challenge"

Today's Challenge

Day 16 - Another picture of yourself

Ooooo, I really don't like pictures of myself.  Usually I'm the one behind the camera so that I can avoid being in the photos...  but here ya go, just because it's today's challenge!


This was just about two weeks ago when I got almost 3 inches cut off my hair.  Gotta love the "self portrait" holding the camera out as far as it would go, then not realizing till after I downloaded them on my computer that the garbage cans were in the background!  Oh well!  LOL

Day 15 of "30 Days of Me Challenge"

Today's Challenge:

Day 15 - Put your iPod on shuffle:  First 10 songs that play

Well, in order to do this, I'd first have to locate my charging plug (somewhere) so that it could charge up long enough for me to put it on for 10 songs, so instead, since I have my songs on my computer on my iTunes, I'm gonna turn it on and set it to shuffle and see what pops up...  I'm sure you may be amused at my choice of music....


  1. My Wish by Rascal Flatts 
  2. Better In Time by Leona Lewis
  3. Dancing Queen from Mamma Mia!
  4. If I Never See Your Face Again by Maroon 5
  5. Break iIt Off by Rhianna Feat. Sean Paul
  6. Tied Together With A Smile by Taylor Swift
  7. Colour Everywhere by Deana Carter
  8. The Struggle Within by Metallica
  9. Rollin' by Big & Rich
  10. I Like It by Enrique Iglesias


How's that for a small taste of variety for ya?  LOL

Day 14 - A picture of you and your family


A random, unedited photo of our family last year.  So much has happened to us over the course of the last year.  Some good things, some bad... but the people you see in this photo... they are real, they are us.

This is my family.

Day 13 of "30 Days of Me Challenge"

Today's Challenge

Day 13 - A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

To My Parents:

I knew one day it was going to happen, the split up between you two.  And now that it's been over a year since it occurred, I can finally say I've been able to move on from it. I won't lie and say that it still doesn't hurt that neither one of you are able to get along with the other.  I was divorced too, in case you forgotten.  And regardless of what feelings my ex and I have towards each other, we are still civil.  We don't talk bad about each other to our child.  This is a predicament that one of you tends to do on a consistent basis.  And it hurts my feelings.  I know that you are trying not to mention things, but I can't fix what is broken.  I am no longer the peace keeper.  I will not be the middle man in giving information from one parent to the other regarding any issue.  I honestly wish you could get past the anger you have for each other and at least be able to be civil, for your kids and grandkids sake.  Maybe this is too personal for you to hear, but it's something that I needed to get off my chest.  I have tried to just sit back and listen because I didn't want to step on anyone's toes.  I love you both dearly and one day I hope that if anything you can at least be civil with each other.

Love,

Wendy

Today's Challenge

Day 12 - How you found out about Blogger and why you made one

Well, I knew a few people that had started blogs...  I always wanted to try one, but never really had anything to say and figured that no one would read it anyways.  But here I am attempting to keep faithful in writing on my blog as often as I can.  Sometimes you get so sidetracked and busy with family and school and dr appts that you forget the little things, like blogging, to keep up with.

Today's Challenge

Day 11 - Another picture of you and your friends




This photo was from graduation day in 1998 (yeah, I'm that old...) but these girls were some of the best people to hang out with.  I still keep in touch with them as often as I can.  We all have our own very busy lives and sometimes it's hard to keep in touch as much as I'd like, but back in the day... they were the greatest.  I miss them all.  Pictures like this make you want to go back and relive the times that you had with them.  Sometimes growing up just sucks.

Sorry for the delay...

I know, I promised that I was going to be doing well at sticking with this blogging thing....  Lots of stuff has been happening over the past month and well, something had to give.  Now I'm starting to get back to a normal schedule again, so I promise to start posting more often.

Thanks for being patient!

Day 10 of "30 Days of Me Challenge"

Today's Challenge:

Day 10 - Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad


Well, you'd think this would be simple enough, but my range of music is so all over the place that it's really hard to narrow it down.

When I'm happy --- I tend to listen to my "Now that's what I call music" CDs because they have such a good mix and i just pop through to the songs that make me bop my head to the music!!! (Kiera got me hooked on the newer songs!)

When I'm sad --- I listen to sappy songs that make me want to feel better, like "Stand Back Up" by Sugarland.  That is a definite "go to" song when I'm blue.  Oh and lately Adele has been in this category too. LOVE her!

When I'm bored --- anything upbeat to get me in a mood to do something productive, usually this would revert to any "old school" music, especially like Spice Girls, The Bangles, Love Shack, ya know, that kind of stuff.

When I'm hyped ---  Throw me on some Metallica from the Black CD or some Guns N Roses... yeah buddy!

When I'm mad --  That's easy...  Salt N' Peppa!!!  (Very Necessary CD)...  Great for getting anger out! HA!
