Day Twenty-Six: post a picture of something that means a lot to you

 I have been trying to avoid repeat pictures, so while there a lot of things that mean more to me than my kitty...here he is! Isn't KitKat a cutie?? He's not much of a snuggler, but he does need attention. He likes to either sleep at my feet, or lay beside me on the couch. KitKat also plays fetch, which I didn't know cats would do. He's a lot of fun and very spoiled. I love my cat :)

Day Twenty-Five: Post a picture of your day

Isn't it gorgeous? T'was a lovely day.

Pictures and smiles

There are over 8,000 pictures stored on my computer! I was going through some of them just now weeding out multiples, blurry shots, or those that just don't make any sense
For example:

But as I am going through them I just feel like I have to share a few! I know they may not be as cute or exciting to you, because I do understand I am a bit biased ;) I hope you enjoy them anyway though!

This Alex and his adorable niece. You might not be able to tell in this picture, but they have the same eyes! No mistaking that they are related :)

This is at a football game fall of 2009. Alex and I were nothing more than friends yet. A couple of the younger girls and I were sneaking into the backgrounds making strange faces while one of the other girls would take a picture. I just happened to be the only one able to sneak into this one. I don't think anyone figured out what we were doing.

I look completely terrible in this picture. This is the day after Alex proposed to me. I had been sick all week, sinus infection, ear infections, terrible pink eye in both eyes, and I was losing my voice. It's a not very well known fact that Alex actually proposed in a whisper because we had both been whispering for two days, as I had lost my voice and anything above a whisper sounded garbled due to my plugged ears. I have never doubted that he loves me, that he could propose when I looked so terrible, runny nose and all.

I'm out of time now though. I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into my pictures :)

Day Twenty-Three: Post a picture of your favorite book

As far as reading works of fiction, I think that my favorite has almost always been The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I have the complete works, all bound together in a 3" thick book. I find the time period, style, imagination, and the attention to detail fascinating. Makes me want a hot mug of earl grey tea, and a rainy day with which to start re-reading all these adventures.

Day Twenty-Two: Post a picture of something you wish you were better at.

There are a lot of things I wish I was better at. I wish I could be better at making friends, better at just being myself, be a better writer, better photographer, a better singer...I could go on. I decided that I wish I could be better at making my voice be heard. I have a lot to say sometimes, but am too shy to try to be loud. I want to help, but feel too timid to offer, want to be a friend, but don't know how to ask. Sometimes I know the answer, but don't want to offend by offering it unasked. So this is me making myself heard: Is there anyway I can be a better friend to you today? Anything I can help you with? Is there anything you are struggling with that I might know the answer to?

Day Twenty-One: Post a picture of something you wish you could forget

I almost wanted to be more serious about this post, but really, who would want to post a post a picture of something they really truly wished to forget? Much less post it on the internet for anyone to see and read about. Then I was going to go with something slightly less serious: a picture of something I regret but didn't necessarily want to forget. But I ended up with this. I wish I could forget ever having eaten an octopus!! It didn't have much flavor, but it was rubbery as all get out! The idea that I actually ate that little thing still makes me shudder...
