Dear Puma,

Thank you for letting me know that I should expect 2 shoes in my shoebox.

I sure wasn't expecting that. ;)

Top 10: Goofy pictures with Whittney edition!

So, my best friend Whittney, well shes a goofy kid. I am also a slightly goofy kid. When we hang out, our goofiness is very evident because we both act pretty crazy. Well, sometimes though, boredom comes into the picture. And me being the crazy camera girl that I am gets the idea that "Hey, lets take some pictures" and so the story goes. So I want to share with you 10 of my favorite goofy pictures of Whittney and I. Yes, we look pretty dumb and yes she might kill me for putting some of these on here but when I asked for permission to use photos of her she did say yes.... ;)

#10

I think this one is funny because we were trying to do the whole charlies angels thing but I could only use one hand because I had the camera in the other. Then Dave after seeing it asked why Whittney had to use two fingers to pick her nose!

#9

This one is only really funny because of our costumes. What costume? Exactly. haha. Well we did use the face stuff to put circles around our eyes.... yeah, I do not know either. lol.

#8Childrens hats that we managed to get on our heads. We thought we were pretty cool.
#7
Haha. Grape Faygo is the best pop ever, and even better when you can stick the wrapper to your head!

#6

Because cups and boredom just don't go together. Can you hear me now?

#5

Caught off guard- We were both making the motions to an inside joke although I have to say..What the heck Whittney?

#4

Do you see our faces? Could you tell that we were laughing really hard but trying to smile and look normal for the camera? Thats because about 3 seconds before this picture the dog tried to hump my leg. I kicked it off, we laughed, this picture was taken!

#3
We wrapped a lot of gifts that day. After wrapping gifts all day we thought it would be funny to make ourselves look retarded by putting the empty roles in our sleeves. And then there is that creepy santa behind Whittney...

#2

Because the fact that Whittney has her nose in a sheeps butt is funny, the facial expression she has fits perfect and this picture just makes me laugh!

And #1 is....

Its shows our friendships true colors. Ha, not really but it does look like I am gonna whack her a good one! I was actually gonna smear more mud on her face but that's not how it looks. And then there is the duck coming out of my head. This day was so much fun, we had a crazy mud fight! We both were completely covered in mud, it was great!

Well, there you have it. My favorite crazy pictures of me and my best friend. I guarantee you that there will be many more I will have to add to this list within a short amount of time because we are pretty crazy and I always have my camera!

"You can tell when two people are best friends because they are having way more fun than it makes sense for them to be having"

Love,

Who forgets the bread?

When you think of making a sandwich, the first ingredient you think of is the bread, correct? So who packs a sandwich, remembering the meat and even the condiments, but forgets the bread? That would be my best friend. Shes not normal. But then again, neither am I, and that's why we get along so well.

But that's not the point of this post here, I just wanted to tell you because I thought it was funny that she forgot the bread for her sandwich. I also wanted to document it so I can remember that and laugh about it for years to come. The point here is my computer is back! Its still on the mend but its working, its back in my room, and I can now post pictures. WHOOOOHOOO! So happy about that. I still got work to do in making it back to normal though, mostly figuring out what my screen resolution was because things still aren't looking normal in that area. Other than that a few more tweaks and I should be just about where I was a week ago.

So whats been happening since I've been gone? I'll show you:I got to watch my cousin Claire. Her and my sister are really close and play together all day. Its so funny because I will be sitting in my room and you can here the two of them singing across the hall. The bond they have is awesome and its so nice when they get to hang out with each other.

Of course I've gotten to hang out with my two favorite girls. Mikayla asked me the other day "Dea? Uhm, can't you just be my sister to?" =]

In my down time without my computer i wanted to practice my photography. I did not get much of a chance though due to my sister not wanting to let me practice with her. I did get the opportunity with the girls though. They both let me take a couple pictures of them by the window, which is what I wanted because I wanted to try and create the dramatic look with natural light and turn them to black and white. I need some more practice but this is what I got:

I used the holga-ish action on this one. I think it overdid it a little but it still turned out alright.I just used regular black and white action with vingette border on this one. I think I like the way it worked on this one better, its not overdone.

It was funny because my sister did get mad at me for taking pictures, so I asked Taylor if it was making her mad to. Her answer? "Nah, I'm used to it now" Think I take a lot of pictures of them? I think its obvious in her answer ;)

Well, I most certainly am excited to be up and running again and I have plenty more pictures to show you but for now its off to bed for me. Hope you have a great day tomorrow, and don't forget the bread ;)

Love,

Being locked in a candy closet...

..was never really on my list of things to do before I die. But now, I can say that its happened to me. Yes, today I locked in a candy closet by my classmates. And yes, I did agree to this. Little did I think that I may be slightly claustrophobic. Oops.

Heres the scoop: Our history teacher sells candy to every class to help raise money for the yearbook. Well she had left the classroom when another teacher came in to get food. As I am a member of the yearbook staff I opened up the closet for her. She got her food and left. As I was closing up one of my fellow students had the idea to stick me in the closet and scare her when she opens it for that class. And I, agreed.

So then she comes back, taking her sweet time at that. (Maybe it just seemed longer being in a small space and all) After doing the usual prep stuff she asks the class if anyone wants food. Now hearing that excites me because its getting stuffy in there and I am shaking like crazy and getting pretty nervous about all this. I really am unsure why I reacted like this, I mean its not like I have not done this kinda stuff before. So thats how I have come to the conclusion that I may be slightly claustrophobic. Which checks out for me, because I have noticed tight spaces do make me nervous. But anyways after she asks i hear many of the kids say

"No we don't want any food today" I was like WHAT! This concerned me a bit but then I heard the girl whose idea this was say she wanted something. And then the class started dropping hints like crazy.

The sad thing is, she never picked up on those hints or realized I was not in the room. So it was a surprise when she opened the door and saw me there. She was like wow, now that's a good one! And so it was- even if it did take me the rest of the day to quit shaking. lol.

So thats the story I got for ya.

The other thing I need to say is after long deliberation I have decided on a official name for this blog. Now I understand that if your reading this, you know what it is but I would like to officially announce it, so here it is.

My official blogspot name is: rockinlifemyway

Its got a neat ring to it doesn't it! I sure do think so. And after as long as it took me to pick it I am definatly relieved to have done so.Now I can finally give it out and finally get some people reading this thing!

But of course, how could I forget. What would a sucess on my part be without the usual disapointment that follows? And this time my sucess is gettin this finally goin with a name and all and of course the bad comes along---> Picnik isn't working for me.

Which means I cannot post a picture. Grr. But I will try to post some extras next time

But that's all I have to say for now so until next time,

-Much Love, Dea.

PS- My posting time seems to be an hour off. I don't know how to fix this becasue I do indeed have it set in the correct time zone. I guess blogger never picked up on the time change. So its all an hour behind. Hopefully this will fix itself eventually.
