#174/365--Baking and Jobs

Chef Michael
made
a
homemade
Bundt cake
with
homemade
icing
(last night)



...and then...
he went out
and got more
job applications

#173/365--Trapped

That
...MONSTER...
had me
...trapped...
in my car
so
I drove fast
...in the hopes that...
he would
...die...
or
at least
...be blown off my car...

if you had seen me
...getting out of my car...
at
the
post office
you might have thought
I was
...a ninja...

#172.75/365--Lauren's Gift

Five years ago
...today...
Michael went to
Longhorns Baseball Camp
in Austin
so
we made it
a family
--  mini-vacay  --

I remember
only because
one of my many
...apps...
showed my post from
...5 years ago...
...isn't it
...amazing...
that
5 years later
she has
scholarships
and
awards
for this
...gift...
of hers?

Unfortunately,
neither of us
remember
what pics she took
or
where they might be
stored
or
if we still have them
but
here's my blog
from that day
...5 years ago...
with
ONE
of her pics

I guess
I'm ahead
two days/two pics
...somehow...
since
"technically"
today is
#172/365

Perhaps
waiting
so long
to blog
isn't such
a great idea
afterall

#172.5/365--Chef Michael

Like I posted before...
Mikey really is
...good in the kitchen...
a natural

He took chocolate cake mix
and
made it into
pancakes
or
thick crepes

and
blended
peaches and Cool Whip
for the
...creamy center...

topped with
...powdered sugar...
it was really
yummy
but
he didn't like the
"peachiness"
and said
next time
he will use
...strawberries...

I loved it!
He thinks
I'm
"his mom"
and
"I have to like it"
but
...no fake...
I loved it!
He is a talented chef!

#172/365--Night Sky

Thumbnail moon
with
Jupiter
and
Venus
Forgive me.
It's the only pic
I took
on
Day #170
(June 19)
...and...
it's blurry
just like
...yesterday's pic...

Don't judge.

Maybe
it's a
...style...
I'm
...trying out...

Maybe
my
"professional camera"
a.k.a.
iPhone
is
messed up

Maybe
I've been
...a little shaky...

Maybe
it was night
and my camera
...wouldn't focus...

You never know
...what's going on...
in a person's life
so
don't judge
...the quality...
of
"the picture"

try to
...imagine...
what
the
...intention was...
behind
the lens

...perception...


#171/365--More Sunset and Clouds

...it's blurry...
for effect
...I meant to do that...

#170/365--Grilled Cheese Master

Michael is a great
...cook...
good at
following a recipe
and
going off on his own
and
we found out that
his
grilled cheeses
are
...Sonic quality...
perhaps
even better
but
it's
exhausting
standing over a hot burner
for
10 minutes



#169/365--Baseball Game

First game
of the season
for me
...Go Rangers...


#168/365--Over-excited Mom

I'm not gonna lie
I'm kinda
...anxious...
(good and bad)
about
Lauren
heading off
...to college...
it's
exciting
scary
fun
and
makes me
proud
and
overwhelmed
but
not too overwhelmed
to take
...another...
cheesy picture

#167/365--New Student Orientation



#166/365--Hotel, Motel

I've had to
...restrain my spending...
in the past few months
and
had to
...go cheap...
when reserving
a spot
for
Lauren and I
to stay
during
New Student Orientation
...you can say that...
I'm spoiled
and
I won't complain
any further

suffice to say
...it wasn't like...
any place
I've stayed
before

#165/365--Cornhole

We went to
my
BFF, Flip's
...daughter's...
graduation picnic
and
Yep.
That's my mom.
She beat me
at
"Bean-Bag Toss"
but
that's because
she plays
...Beanbag Baseball...
with her friends
...professionally...
in tournaments
and stuff

she's had more practice
tossing a beanbag
than me
therefore
the scales were tipped
...in her favor...

#163/365--Strange, Long Day

...ended with...
my
LollipopGirl
asking me
to go with her
to get
...a tattoo...





and my
...SleepyHeadBoy...
baking
Peanut Butter Cookies

#162/365--Running

Trying to stay
...accountable...
p.s.
I did not
listen to
Michael Jackson
as I ran
I don't know why
that's showing up...

...in case you wonder...
I listen to
...Pandora...
80s Pop station

#161/365--Simile

My life is like
an iPhone
that
is not
...compatible...
with it's charger

more often
...than not...
lately

#158/365--Toothpaste

There is
no
rhyme
or
reason
for this picture
except
I didn't
take any other picture
and
this
is
what
I bought
from
the store
today

#152/365--Gardening

Lauren

...nice...
