It's been a fun month of photographizing and instagramming.
And though I am still excited about the idea of hosting my own photo-a-day challenge here on this blog, I think I need a little bit of time off from freaking out over what my photo-of-the-day will be around 9pm every night.
So here are my last 17 photos of August. Enjoy!
 |
| Day 15 - yellow My bright yellow purse! (Purchased off the sale rack at J. Crew - SCORE!) |
 |
| Day 16 - the letter A The letter A is for "aflame" and "appetite" and "Asian." I love me some hibachi. It's even better when you enjoy it with a good friend. |
 |
| Day 17 - simple Plain and simple - I love my job. Spent all day at a youth retreat and enjoyed every awkward teen moment of it. |
 |
| Day 18 - fresh Nothing better than a fresh, made-with-no-preservatives birthday cake. (This picture may look familiar.) |
 |
| Day 19 - messy Spent the night with John and the in-laws in downtown Memphis. We eventually found our way to messy old Beale Street to listen to some live jazz at the Rum Boogie Cafe. |
 |
| Day 20 - colorful The sunset on Johnny's birthday. |
 |
| Day 21 - lunch Arrive at work by 12:00pm, eat my working lunch by 12:05pm. |
 |
| Day 22 - on the shelf My mother-in-law gave us a few old framed pictures of John as a precious baby. This one's on the shelf in our bedroom, only because it's just so darn cute! |
 |
| Day 23 - smile Cheesy smiles for complementary outfits :D |
 |
| Day 24 - faceless self portrait Red hair, don't care. |
 |
| Day 25 - quiet Went to all masses this weekend to hand out flyers and attract new members to the youth group. This was in the narthex at the 7:30am mass during communion, the mass with no cantor or organist. So quiet, so peaceful. I could only hear the drip, drip, drop of the baptismal font. |
 |
| Day 26 - entertainment Harry Potter & My Favorite Goofball - my entertainment for the evening. |
 |
| Day 27 - funny Ok, so I thought the pic of the day was supposed to be "happy." But apparently it was "funny." That perfectly curled froyo is kinda funny, right? |
 |
| Day 28 - words Lots of words and rules involved in learning a new game - Catan Dice Game. |
 |
| Day 29 - staying cool I didn't actually go for a late night swim, but this is what our apartment pool looks like at night. Pretty cool. |
 |
| Day 30 - joy Wedded bliss. (Wedding photography by my brother, Matt Ferrara) |
 |
| Day 31 - big Picked up this massive 10-lb pork butt tonight after mass. The Knights of Columbus were selling them as a fund- raiser. It was love at first bite. And now we have about 6 more pork dinners stored up in the freezer. SCORE! |
I love these! They give such a neat window into ordinary life (which is never really all that ordinary). And...Catan dice game? Whoa! Is that for 2 players? We love Settlers but have to scrounge up 2 willing participants to play...We also love the game Carcassone. Have you played that? Also love the froyo picture. Your pictures always tend to make me hungry...!
ReplyDeleteCatan dice game is a 2 player game! We were on the hunt for good 2 player games because while we have a bunch of games, not many of them are good for just 2 players. And just like you, we LOVVVVE Settlers, but it's always hard to get friends together to play it. So when we read about Catan dice game, we were too excited. We bought it that day at Barnes & Noble and played almost immediately. It's great! There are 2 different ways to play it - I recommend the red game... it's most like Settlers. The green game is fun too, but you don't have as many options when you play. You'll see what I mean.
DeleteWe've never played Carcassone, but we've heard of it. We'll have to check it out!
You don't happen to live near Memphis, do you? Man, if you do, we HAVE to have a game night!
Nope, we're in DC. Bummer! We love game nights! Maybe someday :)
DeleteGreat Pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteLove the pics! What is this "photo-a-day challenge" you mentioned? I also wanted to thank you for finding my blog and for your kind words. May God bless you! :)
ReplyDeleteThe "photo-a-day challenge" can actually take on many forms - I did one once for an entire year, where I took a photo every day to represent what happened each day. It was pretty neat. The" photo-a-day" challenge I did here came from another blogger. At beginning of August, she posted a list of themes associated with each day of the month. So, every day for the month of August, I took pictures based on the themes she came up with. For example, the theme for the 31st was "big" so I did my best to take a picture that represented that. It was a great challenge all month long and I'm happy with the way it turned out. It'll be fun to look back a few months or years from now and remember what I was doing every day during August 2103. Thanks for commenting! May God bless you too :)
