Day 5, January 5, 2012

January 5, 2012

Life's wonderful. Ever notice that?

At the moment, I.am.freezing. I seriously need to put a space heater in my room.

Oh and, I love my slipper socks. Best.things.ever.invented. Well, I guess not ever. But pretty close.

I guess you could call them "My One Weakness". =)

My memory verse for this week:

For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. -Ephesians 2:10

Yes folks, I did it by memory. I'm so talented. Now if I could remember it so I can say it to my dad, that would be good.

Really. I went to say it to him tonight, I made him stop watching a movie so he could hear it...

I got the refrence "Ephesians 2:10..." and forgot the verse. Yep. It felt...awkward. 

But now I know it. I'm not forgetting it, because I want to get it over with.

Now I'm rambling. 

Oh by the way, Ella, I saw that you asked about my camera. Tomorrow I promise I'll post about it, I just didn't have a picture of it tonight. I meant to take one. It'll probably be my picture for day 6. Just so you know.

So, how was your day? 

Do you love slipper socks as much as I do?

Days 3 & 4, 2012

Ugh. I can't believe I missed a day!

Well, I do have an excuse, so please forgive me.

See, yesterday, I started school again after my month long vacation.

Oh, by the way, I haven't gotten around to actually taking any pictures specifically for this challenge so, bear with the old photos for now. 

Day 3: January 3, 2012

I took this back in May 2011. It's of one of the Quince bushes in our yard. 

The flowers are such a pretty red color and, I've found that the hummingbirds love this bush. =)

I thought maybe we all could enjoy the sight of some flowers.

Day 4: January 4, 2012

I took this back in July 2011. Look! It even has Bokeh! 

Yayy...I didn't realize this picture had that. I'm pretty sure it's the first one!

So, anyways, I still can't believe I forgot to post yesterday. 

I love this setup though, because it's easier to post if you have a reason. Which I do.

And I love posting pictures so, that's even better. And I can put some random thoughts down with it. =O It's almost like a journal entry everyday! 

Anyways, I'm starting to enjoy this challenge even more now. =D

What do you think of my bokeh?

I'm posting this just in time for it to be (almost) too late. It's wonderful.

Picture of the day.

January 2, 2012

I got these shoes in..August I think. I liked them so much I took a bunch of pictures of them. =)

The only thing, I wish they were blue. I want to wear blue converse for my wedding (that is, now I want to...I might not later in life)

I've seen a couple people start blogging again, and I'm really excited because I love their blogs.

So, a big welcome back to them! 

Today, I went for a walk with my dad. We went in the woods around our house on some old logging trails.

There was lots of mud, and it was very slippery. At the end, we walked the road back home, and coming out of the woods we saw a...(okay, sorry, but it was really cool to see)...a dead coyote. I guess it had been hit a while back and now most of the fur and stuff is gone and it's just bones now. It was cool to see...

Are you having a good year so far?

Welcome 2012!

Happy New Year! Welcome 2012!

Okay, so I decided last month to post a picture a day for a year. 

But I decided not to start until January 2012, and since it is 2012, I guess I should start now.

So, here's my picture for January 1, 2012

These were fun little erasers I bought for my friend for Christmas.

She LOVED them, simply because they come apart. We laughed so hard when she figured out she could take the peach colored part of Santa's face off. I have strange friends.

But then again, don't we all?

Happy New Year! 

I pray 2012 is a year full of joy and blessings for all of you!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Welcome to Captured Thoughts!

I hope everyone is having a very Merry Christmas!

I know I am! =D

My family celebrated with the usual, Christmas story (Luke 2:8-20), unwrapping the baby Jesus and putting him in the manger (the one from our nativity scene), stockings, breakfast, presents and a ham dinner with all the fixings.

We had, ham, mashed potatoes, yams, corn, carrots, brussel sprouts, asparagus, and rolls. 

What are some of your Christmas traditions?

Snow anyone?

As the first loverly snow plow of the "winter" season rumbled past our house, I could only think of one thing as I ran to the window to watch it pass:  "It's starting!! Winter is here at last!!".  The weatherman says we'll be getting 5-10 inches of snow with this one storm, I'm quite excited for the snow since it's the first, but I think it's beginning a little too early. Don't you? I mean, it's only October! True, it's the end, but surely before November is too early!
The part I don't like is that as I'm writing this, the lights keep flickering. They say the power may go out.  I sort of hope it does, in a way, but having the power out is more fun in the summer because it's not so cold.

So I've been thinking, Miss Bea's Scrapbook doesn't really suit this blog anymore. It was an interesting name for it at the start, but I'm not sure I really like it anymore.  Though I've done scrap booking,  I've never really gotten into it, so I don't think scrapbook goes very well.  And Miss Bea sounds so...formal.

{So.  I was wondering. If you loverly followers, would help me a bit.  Maybe suggest some new names for my blog?  I would very much appreciate it.}

If I get enough suggestions I'll make up a poll and have y'all vote. Sound good?
I'd also like to know what kinds of posts I should do.  I'll admit I have been feeling rather disappointed with my blog lately.  See, my sister has a blog too. Hers is pretty popular and all, and I'm feeling kinda...jealous.  But, the thing is, she has something to post about.  Ya know? I'm still not sure what to post about.  I keep feeling like nobody wants to hear about me, me, me, all the time.
And true, I have photography, but it takes time to upload all those pictures and find the ones I like and...blah, blah, blah.  I'm rambling.  I also feel kinda selfish talking about myself all the time. I'm sure anyone who reads this knows what I mean right?

So anyway, you have a reason for my lack of posts since...*checks how long it's been since I last posted*...August.  Sheesh! I didn't know it'd been that long.
But I'd better go bundle up in some nice warm pj's and settle down for the night since the power keeps going out. So, good night all.  *cue song from the Sound of Music* "So long, fair well...."
