Day 10: Childhood Memory

We had asparagus a few nights ago. 

I used to HATE asparagus. 

I recently (as in a few months ago) started liking it. 

Watching my nieces and nephews cry, whine, and choke down asparagus brings back so many memories of my childhood.

Another childhood memory is being the last one at the dinner table. 

I was always the slowest eater and wasn't allowed to leave the table until my plate was completely clear.
Eating dinner together is like a trip down memory lane for me. 

Day 9: Someone you love

Someone I love? 

Boyd 

I love these pictures. 

This is the game we play

I ask Boyd to be my model 

Then he has fun with it. 

Thanks love!

Day 8: A bad habit

Confession:  

I hardly ever shave my legs

(or my pits for that matter) 

Is that super embarrassing? 

(double embarrassing?)

I think it is a bad habit or, rather, a lack of a good habit. 

With Cleveland winters my legs are never seen and I'm always wearing long sleeves. 

Before we made it to Florida I think it had been 4+ months since I had used my razor for my legs. 

(My pits, although neglected, get reminders from the hubs. They aren't as bad)

The first day I went to the gym in Florida, wearing shorts I decided it was time to break my bad habit.  

Since we have been here (2 weeks) I've only shaved my legs once . . . 

Ironically, I remember being the first girl in the 4th grade to shave my legs. 

Dang it, the next time someone I know sees me, is this what they are going to think of?

Day 7: Fruit

 

 

Do you like that? Still has the tag on it! ha.

Typical Allison would take the tag off and re-do this pic

but I'm trying to let things go and be more carefree.

Plus it was getting dark and I was running out of time.

I wasn't even tempted to photoshop it out.

 

Shout out to my little helper.

 

This girly has a thing for lemons.

She actually helped me pick out what I was going to take a picture of.

For dinner we had salmon and she just grabbed the lemon half and started sucking.

I'm pretty sure she sucked all of the juice out from that lemon. Boyd just sat there and laughed. She didn't even pucker.

 

Do you like this pretend pucker?

 Since we didn't get one at dinner she probably felt like she had to get one in. So cute!

 

 Maybe we should peel it first baby.

Day 6: From a low angle

 

I really struggled with finding something I could take a picture of from a low angle.

I was staring off into space, looking at the ceiling when *ding* "light bulb!" or should I say ceiling fan. 

One really weird thing about me: I hate ceiling fans. I thought it was a strange, quirky, thing until my friend shared her dislike for ceiling fans as well. There is something so irritating about feeling of a constant breeze on my arm or face that just makes me cringe. I immediately feel irritated and my skin starts to itch all over. To top it off, it dries my eyes out, and spreads dust everywhere, which makes me have a runny nose and sore throat. Even when I'm in the car, I always turn the air vents away from me. Although I hate the feeling of a breeze, I also dislike being sweaty. Being here in Florida has taught me to just embrace the breeze. I may not love celing fans, but it sure beats being a sweaty pig.

Does anyone else hate ceiling fans?



Day 5: From a high angle

I have this thing. Call it a style, a preference, a habit, whatever. I love taking pictures of kids from a high angle. There is just something about when they turn their sweet faces up at you and have a big grin. I used to do it because it helped them open their eyes and squint less, but taking pictures from a high angle has become a essential part of my bag of tricks.

 



 

Life is so much fun when you have adorable things to take pictures of.

Day 4: Something Green

This pic was not at all what I expected. It turned out way better.

Little Eli was my big helper.

It was a windy day and my something green kept blowing away.

Eli came scootering over and in his Eli way said

"Ear, ret me old the reef for you so it doen bro away"

Translation: Here let me hold the leaf for you so it doesn't blow away.

 

 Thanks buddy!

 

 

Here is what I was going for.

Not as sweet as the first one, but still a pretty cool shot.

Day 3: Favorite Place

My Favorite Place: The kitchen table

I feel like so many memories are made around the table. Some of my fondest childhood memories took place at the table, as a family. I love eating lunch and dinner with Boyd at our table. To top it all off I love food. Kitchen tables = food.



Day 2: What I wore today

7:00 a.m. - Jammies                      8:30 a.m.- To the Gym                  10:30 a.m. - Normal Clothes

30 Day Picture Challenge - Day 1: Self-Portrait

 

Hi my name is Allison and I have been a slacker.

I feel like I don't blog anymore and my poor camera . . . feels so un-loved.

So I have set out to fix that problem with a 30 day picture challenge.

 

Day 1: Self-portrait

 

Apparently I'm supposed to introduce myself.

My name is Allison . . .

I hate pictures of myself. ha. kind of ironic for this first challenge.

I took about 60 pictures trying to not act awkward so I decided to hide behind my camera.

 I'm about to graduate with my degree in Marriage and Family Therapy

I have a fantabulous hubs. We have been married almost 5 years.

We live in Cleveland where Boyd is in his 4th year of Podiatry school.

We don't have kids. I work with kids. We want kids.

 Can't wait to have them so I have cute things to take pictures of.

That is about it.
