NOTE TO SELF: GET OVER IT

This idea came from Memory Makers Magazine, Beth's Top 10 Corner, and it really made me stop and think. What are the things about me that I wish I could change, but have finally accepted as just being who I am? Here's my "Get Over It" list:

1. Size ?? jeans (not ready to confess the size yet).
2. Not being a morning person.
3. Fake fingernails.
4. Being a slow scrapbooker (this might improve, but I'm okay with it right now).
5. Diet Dr. Pepper as my morning "coffee".
6. Not making my bed every day. (I could change this, but it's not important to me right now)
7. Power braking (but no rear-end collisions yet).
8. Love to spend money.
9. Buying groceries like I'm going to cook dinner every night, but don't.
10. Never having enough time to do everything I want to do.

Day 8 - Laser Light Pen

This is a prime example of how geeky my husband is. This is the image that was made using a laser light pen shined into the lid of a cut crystal lid which caused this refraction of the light onto the pantry door. If you look closely you can see the panels of the pantry door. Geeeeeeeky! But it made a pretty neat photo.

The Photo Challenge

The photo challenge has proven to be a very good thing. My photos aren't great by any means, but now I notice things that I've never noticed before. I see things in a different light than I used to see them. If I stick with this I think it will make me a better photographer -- probably never a great photographer, but I'd be satisfied with just a better photographer. I guess the phrase "practice makes perfect" really is true. I can't wait to look back in a year and see how my skills have improved. Now if I can just keep this up for a year!
