Team up: upside down

Upside down and boy oh boy did this week make me dizzy.

Puna's snap is low. I really like how dynamic she is with her shooting angles.
My pic is taken from my lap looking upside down at the ceiling and the swag that was on display before a show started. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I snapped this. I can't say that it much matters, though. I liked the way the image came out.

Skip over and see Melody and Megan for some more Team Up fun.

Today.

Today is exam day.

I'm quiet.

Two days.

Today is packed.

Work. Study. Eat. Study. Panic. Relax. Cram. Sleep.

T-1 day to the final exam for this course.

On my mind.

It always seems impossible until it is done.
~Nelson Mandela

Study is the bane of childhood, the oil of youth, the indulgence of adulthood, and a restorative in old age.
~Walter Savage Landor

The true science and study of man is man.
~Pierre Charron

Consumed.

I am currently being consumed by these two songs.

Let's Play: 2011 - 09

Today started rather miserable despite the brilliant blue sky and sunshine. I'm hoping I can shake my funk.

1. Bring your favorite __dish and we'll call it a potluck tonight___.

2. __Batteries___ are included.

3. __This___ is exactly __where I am___.

4. Well, you see, __sometimes I just need to cry___.

5. __Get well___ soon!

6. But what if _I take that leap and it becomes the best choice I make for me____.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to __the laundry lambada___, tomorrow my plans include __diving deep into studying, it is crunch time___ and Sunday, I want to __walk outside, clear my head, hear my heart___!

Me and Eddie.

This is Eddie. He and I met while I was out strolling the Las Vegas Strip. He's a boa constrictor snake kinda thing. Of the two that the psycho kind man had hanging out with him, Eddie was supposed to be the calmer one. The man noted I appeared frozen in fear somewhat nervous.

I had a moment where I became possessed by the 14 year-old rebel wild nut I was. Back then, I may have entertained attempting the following to scare my mother. Now, the responsible adult I am should have known better.

See the close up of him hanging out in my hand? That is the result of becoming possessed. Without too many more details, both my hands, shoulders and neck were involved in this. Take particular note to the end of Dear Eddie's tail. See it? Hanging perpendicular to the ground? Freeze this image.

See that same tail tip now? Barely moments later, Dear Eddie had it wrapped ever so perfectly around my wrist. My hand/arm/whole body had nothing to do with this foolishness. It all simply fell victim to my wild side. The rebel in me just knew the pictures would put me into the coolest mom hall of fame as declared by my sweet son.

"Hey Mom, did Dad hold the snake?"

"No way. You're dad wouldn't do anything like that."

"So, Mom, Dad's a frady cat, right?...AHAHAHAHAHA! You're the coolest."

Noteworthy:

• Don't try this at home
• My chest still tightens knowing I actually did this
• This did not cure me of my aversion to snakes.
• No alcohol was involved and no animal was harmed (human included)
• What happens in Vegas...no longer stays in Vegas
• Mom is cooler than Dad in this house!

Tell me, what have you done to push outside of your comfort zone?

Mission: March

In like a lamb this year. If I were to believe the old adage, March promises to rip out like a a lion. Let's mark up missions for this month with the same ideas.

1 - Top secret craft affair
2 - Crack a new text and keep the notes in order
3 - Get out into the frozen sunshine
4 - Summer camp plans beg to be made
5 - Sing something (side note, if only the best birds sang, the forest would be a quiet place)
6 - Kick the laundry monster to the curb
7 - Out Out Small Clothes!
8 - The Wild Zone, The Gunslinger and I are to have a rendezvous tout suite!
9 - Pour some gravy on top

March on!

Here Ye Here Ye.

March is the month that PixieMama Polly is turning a new decade. She is running all kinds of amazing fun over on her blog. She is featuring guest posts, a giveaway and other awesome things all month long.
