Nothing of Significance...

I am going to make an attempt to blog 3 times a week...but that also means I need to have things to blog about.As of right now I am already blowing it as I have nada,hence the title.What do we do then?We ramble.I can do that.2011 has been pretty mellow.

New Year was ho hum and the second was my birthday.It was also uneventful,no cake,no happy birthday song.I am 29 which I am well aware is still young but it was a slightly depressing birthday for me as this isn't where I saw myself at 29...I'm sure a lot of people do that to themselves though.Most goals set in life aren't reached or we fall short but its just a matter of picking yourself up and keep chugging along.I think I do that pretty well.This is my year though that I'm going to make myself be where I want to be come Hell or high water!

Also chugging along are my bangs.I will not cut them,I will not cute them.I will not cut them.

Ollie turned 2 back on the 23rd if December.I told him this is the year I get him neutered,he didn't like that idea.

You'll forgive me for being a tad morbid but despite it being heartbreaking to find a dead humming bird in the drive way today it was also beautiful so I thought I'd share.The fact that it's dead isn't pretty by any means but normally we don't get to see humming birds so close and they move so fast you miss the detail but isn't he/she beautiful!?

As a child I always though they had fairy like wings because they moved so fast.I remember the first time I ever saw one sitting still I was surprised to see they had wings just like any other bird.I found a duck dead in the drive way a few weeks ago.I hope this doesn't become a pattern.Apparently my dads driveway is where feathered creatures come to die.

  5. Aw that's so sad about the humming bird, they really are beautiful creatures. I'm also trying to grow out my fringe, so I know about the urge to trim it lol.

  8. Oh Ollie, you are so handsome and Hugo would like to know if you'd like to get together for a playdate sometime soon.

  9. I understand, I'm having a hard time myself talking about anything but the shop. I mean who wants to hear about my cat eating spaghetti and my son's non-existant sleeping habits? You look great at 29! :-)

  10. I remember crying my eyes out at 30 lol... Not because I felt old or whatever, but yeah, I was still so far behind the curve of where all my friends were...

    Happy belated BDay, I have another one coming up at the end of this month. No more tears, at this age, just happy to be alive!

  12. Ahh, you look so adorable in your catseye glasses! And a belated Happy Birthday lady!
    I am not where I hoped I'd be by the end of last year either! I think that's just the way things pan out, everything just takes longer than hoped/anticipated! Just keep your chin up....you WILL get there!
