Bakers alley 2 times in 1 week. I totally forgot to buy something for the promotion. While there I was able to get some super cool 'to go' coffee cups. 100 of them for 8,000 won!

I found myself in need of ribbon for the promotion ceremony and there is no better place than the flower market to get ribbon. And Boy 3 was more than happy to wake up at 5AM to make the early morning run with me. 
After getting home from Texas I had to hit the ground running! A trip to Baker's Alley was in store as Hubby gets promoted on Thursday! While there I couldn't believe that I had never noticed this view before. This YELLS Korea to me. The tower behind the chaos of this bustling city.  Day 176 was the shortest day ever. I left Texas on Friday at 10AM (Or I was supposed to...but due to the plane I was on getting grounded & put out of service - True Story - I didn't leave till sometime after 12PM) I arrived home around 8PM on Saturday. Upon arrival my family was MIA (at a hockey game) and I was left to fend from myself. I was totally psyched to see that my new lens has arrived while I was gone. A Tamron 18-270 mm F/3.5-6.3 So I snapped a quick picture with it....I told myself no matter what I was going to post the first picture I took with the new lens even if it turned out bad....I mean it can't be worse than some of the pictures I've been taking with the iPod. So here it is. This is the first thing I saw upon arriving to my house. Rose buds - upon seeing the rosebuds I felt like they were a sign and my first thoughts were of hope and new life. 
Lens: Tamron: 18-270 mm / ISO: 200 / Aperture: F/5.6 / Focal Length: 110mm / Shutter Speed 1/100 sec
This might have been the hardest day.
I didn't sleep well last night. I knew I would be leaving early and I was very torn. Although I couldn't wait to see my husband and kids, my heart ached at the thought of walking out of that hospital and leaving my sister there. The good news was that she was leaving today as well. Heading home to see if she might be more comfortable in her own surroundings. I wanted to go with her to her house, get her settled and know that she was going to be fine. As I laid in bed early this morning I didn't want to move. I didn't want to wake my sister. I didn't want to think of anything for fear of the tears pouring out my face. I didn't want to leave. The nurse came in and that was my queue to jump in the shower. I got dressed, cleaned up the room and sat silently. Since I couldn't take it any longer I knew I had to say goodbye and just leave. I went to her bedside, gave my sister a hug and cried silently with her. As I pulled away I went to wipe the tears from her face when she pushed my hand away and said "Don't wipe my tears, I just had chemo, it could hurt you." REALLY?! She was thinking about me. She didn't want me to touch her tears for fear of hurting me. This touched me to my core. I don't have a picture from this day. Only my memories. After I had that first Sugar Queen Cupcake I COULD NOT get those cupcakes out of my head. So, what's a girl to do? Go and buy a dozen of course. 
It is a good thing I don't live near this cupcake store.
Meet Danger, my favorite 4 year old. That's not really his name, well it is...but anyway. Danger came to visit me at the hospital & I cannot tell you how much I adore this kid. I've only met him 2 other times even though he is my GREAT nephew. When I was in high school his daddy was about his age and I took him (his daddy) EVERYWHERE with me. It was so fun getting to hang out with Danger for a couple of hours. We had so much fun and this is how I got him to warm up to me:  That's right, with selfies!
Pic's in order....top to bottom: Just because he loves me, scared faces angry faces, happy faces bunny ears, fish face Yes, it is true, this big guy is my nephew. Not only my nephew but my favorite nephew of the day. When I put out a plea to have someone bring lunch to me he answered the call. Not only did he bring lunch to me, but he also brought this delicious cupcake from Sugar Queen Cupcakes -chocolate salted toffee drizzle goodness!!!! If you live in Denton and you haven't tried these cupcakes, you should. OR maybe you shouldn't they are dangerously good. My mouth is watering just thinking about them.  |
 Project 365
Am I insane? Have I lost my mind? After thinking long and hard about it (OK, really I only thought about it for about 12 hours) I just committed to doing a photo a day for a year - a 365 'they' call it. This is going to be SUPER HARD for me. Not the photo part, but the editing part. I mean you guys KNOW how far behind I am. A photo a day - that doesn't sound like much, but in reality, who are we kidding? Anyway I'm going to TRY to post each day, but there will be times I might be MIA for a couple of days, just bear with me and I will catch up. Archives
