Catch Up

I have been taking photos, but not blogging xD I was gone this weekend, and took along my smaller camera. Here goes a week of catch up posts!

January 15th, 2011

I took out some acrylic paint and an old painting kit today and had a lot of fun :) working on a cow project from ages ago got tedious, so I pulled out a file folder (when I couldn't find any cardstock) and had fun creating something of my own! I added a bit of symbolism to the picture, which makes it more meaningful for me. This was so much fun, and it made me resolve to bring my brushes and paint with me to college next year, so I have something to do to relax. I also watched "Time Traveler" which was an interesting, weird movie. I'd watch it again just to see the beginning.

Meet JC. He is a pet of my friend, Victoria. I spent the afternoon/evening with her, and it was lovely. We made burritos, a collage, hung out, played wii, and talked. It reminded me of when I was young and went over to my friends houses more often :) JC likes to take baths, eat oranges, and make nests out of hair.

The above is a Ninja Man drawing from a group of youtubers. I won their drawing, and received said drawing, which was signed by the cast. It is very whimsical, and I am looking forward to having it in my dorm room. This picture does not have the signature on the top, "Gary Gase loves you!" The package made my day. I also got to go driving with my father, where I practiced three-point turns and driving above 20 mph. haha. I would have failed twice if it was the test, so I am glad that it wasn't.

A check came in the mail today from the Government. It was my wages for going to Jury Duty! I spent more time reading today, and sketched the picture above. I aim to watercolor it soon. I am also working more on powerpoints for my dad, and looking forward to Sport's Night at AWANA.

Today was very calm and kind of lethargic. I spent time reading, playing guitar and piano, and lazing around. Later I went to my College Group, and had a wonderful time learning and worshiping and hanging out. We stayed at Dennys until 12 am which was a new experience for me, and very fun :)

Today it was very gray and ho-hum. I took out a stack of books to read. I ended up finishing The Blindside and starting Anna and the King. Today (the 11th) I should finish Anna and the King. Later that day I got to work on another power point for my dad. He may hire me as a photographer for future projects! I also got to get out of the house and go to Starbucks with my mom and a bunch of her friends. It was a nice break from the hoopla of a house of six kids. I got some work done, chatted with friends, saw friends come in and out of the store, and relaxed.

Three pictures for today! The long day started out with scraping the ice off of my dad's car with our library cards. Our ice scraper was in the van. The cards worked very well, and soon we were on our way, on a trip that would stretch over four hours as we had lots of car problems.

 I spent the evening and went out to eat with some dear friends who had moved to Washington. It was a wonderful time with random conversations, good (and highly caloric) food, and fun.When I took this photo my friend said "eww. a picture of your burger?" but I was trying to get the Red Robin logo xD. Below is a photo of a Shadow Box I made for these friends. It was going to be my photo for Wednesday but I did not take it until Sunday. 

I loved taking the time to make this craft/present, and it was really neat to see their reaction. They loved it :D Its always nice to make something for someone, and know that they like it!!

This is from Jesus Culture. It is a conference in R-------, aimed at training and encouraging teens to reach their world for Christ. I did not bring my Canon with me, so this was taken with my Nikon L18. There was a lot of haze from the smoke machines, but it was a good conference.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I did not take a photo. I did have ideas of what to photograph, but did not get to it :( I guess the project will extend to cover up those days. This day (Friday) I made a Deep Conditioning treatment for my hair out of oil and honey. It was fun, and I learned next time I will squeeze the extra liquid out to avoid drips on my face and clothes, and will condition my hair after the treatment to fully remove the oil. Later that night we went to Jesus Culture, and stayed there for two days.

This has been my viewpoint for the majority of today. I have been editing powerpoint presentations to aid my dad in his consulting work. I am thankful for this fairly easy first job, as I can stay at home, do it on my own time, and listen to music while I search for tpyos.

(that was intentional xD)

I took this photo on the 3rd, because I got home super late. The wristband is from the bowling alley. Last night I went to a worship/prayer night with some of my friends from my college youth group. After a good time with God, we headed over to the Bowling alley for late night bowling. The price was very reasonable...my score was a little less than. My highest was a 95.

Happy New Year!

This year I will attempt to post a picture a day again. 2010 flew by like a Jet Plane! Today we had Cuban Pork, rice, beans, salad, and flan. It was delicious.
