there was a time, when i was so broken hearted - love wasn't much, of a friend of mine....

phew. don't really know why i'm singing Aerosmith at 9am. but, such is life. anyway, i told "Cathy"Caroline that i would participate in the Photo of the Day thing with her. and here's the deal...

i used to be a big fan of Film. really wanted to stay along those lines. but, then Canon put out a Digital Rebel... and i haven't seen a roll of film since. Truth be told, i like digital. but there's nothing better than film. i love the feel, the grain, the .... mmmm. i can't even describe it. so, if you ever get a chance to work with film, and i mean develop it and all that good stuff - don't pass it up. it will change your life.

So lately, i have spent a sh'load of time in the "digital darkroom" and have decided - i don't want to do that anymore. So, for this POTD thing, i am going to post my pics as is. it's amazing what a camera can do if you have a little creativity...

{May 1st} my fridge. we're not health nuts by any means. so, look past the OJ, water, lactose free milk (that's for laken) diet dr. pepper, and soy yogurt. really focus on the the third shelf. the pizza. this was a diet spoiler for me.

{May 2nd} My required reading for the semester. I haven't been reading it all this time. and i had this paper to write for my final. so that meant.... yup! One book. One night. not really sure how i pulled it off, but i did. i'm sure it had something to do with being up until 5am though. it was good. Two thumbs up. fine holiday fun. see... and you thought i only read blogs...

{May 3rd} i've been sick. and it sucked. i really like this picture. mainly because the camera failed to focus on anything. but mostly because this is how i spent my day. lying on the couch. sick. and out of focus. hey, i lost three pounds though!!

{May 4th} that's right. laugh it up. i can't even make biscuits. i swear i tried really hard. my poor son. he's going to suffer from malnutrition. i tried to make these last night. and seriously, who can't make biscuits? open pop can (or in my case, have roommate open pop can because i'm a ninny and get FREAKED out when it pops), place on cookie sheet and in oven. and whalla! BURNT biscuits.

{May 5th} this one was taken really early this morning. this is laken's baby monitor. it has always been important to me for him to have his own room. granted, it's right across from mine, but i still believe in it. you'd think that since i'm single that i'd want him in bed with me. but heck no! that's what they make baby beds for. i'll shake my finger at you if i find out your child is co-sleeping with you. esp if you're married! big no-no. so laken and i will share my bed maybe once a month. maybe. and usually only for morning naps. so here is his monitor. it's amazing! it's really clear. doesn't pick up the neighbor's phone conversations or anything like that. BUT it's too good. it's enough to rattle me out of bed. and it lights up and all that good stuff. makes no sense. i mean, if the noise doesn't wake you up... why would the light??

We went to go see "Stick It" yesterday while playing hooky from work. then we were pumped to work out. (and work off the large popcorn, movie nachos, cokes, and jujubees) We ran out to the track and ran around it a few times. a mile. and that 20 minute jog took almost two hours and a hot shower to recover from. i felt like my esophogus was going to implode it hurt so bad. What can i say, we were inspired by little girls in leotards. So this morning, when laken was waking up and crying... i let him cry for about 10 minutes until i could muster up enough leg "oomph" to get out of bed. i'm so out of shape. you'd think i'd climbed Mt. Everest with the way i was limping into his room.

anyway, i'm off to barnes and noble to get me some coffee and read a nice book. do you think they'd find it weird if i brought in my blankie??
