2014 Daily Selfie: Week 10 {In the Dark Room}
Hi, you guys! How was your weekend? Mine was all kinds of fab. It was a celebration weekend: my birthday is today {41 years old} and my anniversary is tomorrow {19 years}. My family went out of their way to make me feel special this weekend… I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. Here are a few pictures from last week: Squeekerz can find a ray of sunlight in the darkest night. The requisite coffee shot. It’s what fuels me, ya know? My new zoom lens. A gift from the hubs. I’m so in love right now. With him. And the lens. My birthday cake. I absolutely positively…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 9 {In the Dark Room}
Oh my word, y’all, I know everyone has been complaining about the weather but, seriously, can we at least go for consistency? One day it’s pushing 70º and the next we’re at ~5º with ice. I need it be warm or cold, not both. Other than that, the week has been relatively uneventful. But I’m grateful for each and every day. Here’s my week in review, courtesy of Instagram: This was my entry into the Instagram Photo Challenge hosted by Mashable earlier this week. The prompt was #MyFuel. We all know coffee fuels me. It was picture day at the library. Pictures should never be taken during winter or summer,…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 8 {In the Dark Room}
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was absolutely wonderful: the sun was out, I disconnected from work, and I got to hang out with my family. Seriously, what more could I ask for? Not much, I tell ya. Well, I’ve decided to revamp my 2014 Daily Selfie posts. I knew this would happen… But I’m tired of me. I know the point of the challenge is to document ourselves and our lives, to provide a visual memory of our feelings {be they good or bad}, but I just couldn’t keep it up. So, I’m going to share my favorite Instagram pictures from the previous week and tell the story…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 7 {In the Dark Room}
Happy Monday, everyone! Are you off today for President’s Day? I’m not. In fact, I’ll be sitting in my office trying not to fall asleep. I woke up way too early, 3 something, and couldn’t fall back to sleep. I hate when that happens. Does that ever happen to you? How do you settle back down? Here’s my week in pictures: I noticed a theme with this week’s selfies, they all involved coffee. I think I really need to diversify. What was the highlight of your week? I’m linking up with: 2014 Daily Selfie ~ Instagram: I’m doing this with a few of my Instagram friends. “Selfie” is open to…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 6 {In the Dark Room}
Hey, how’s it going? All’s well here, considering the crazy amount of snow and ice we’ve had. Seriously, I’m so over it. My kids haven’t been to school in 11 days. Eleven. Days. That’s just not right. Especially since I had to go to work every one of those days… Day 33 New plant purchase for the office. Hope I don’t kill it… Day 34 I think he was faking illness for attention. Day 35 Just sitting there watching everyone leave ahead of the snow storm… Day 36 Mmmmm…. Day 37 I need a fancy headset for telephone conferences, preferably one that looks like a tiara. Day 38 On behalf…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 5 {In the Dark Room}
Hi, how are you? How was your weekend? Are you getting snowed in? I sure hope we’re not, but I heard we are. I don’t know about you, but I am so over this cold weather. Seriously, it’s time for spring. I don’t care what that ground hog thingy says… Did you notice that I’m posting this on Tuesday instead of Monday? Well, that’s because I totally messed things up, so if you’re looking for a few photography tips, check out yesterday’s post. If you wanna know about my week, stay here: Outtake from my post for this week’s What I Wore Wednesday. I hate filling out surveys. But even more…

How to ID Your Pics for Use on Pinterest {In the Dark Room}
Are you on Pinterest? Do you encourage people to pin your recipes? If you answered yes to those questions, you need to make sure that you’re: Protecting your images Identifying your images And by following a couple of easy steps, you can make sure that your pictures are properly identified for use on Pinterest.

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 4 {In the Dark Room}
Happy Monday! How’re you guys doing? I’m doing well. I spent the weekend doing what I usually do: vegging in front of the TV. Did you happen to catch Lizzie Borden Took an Ax? It was on Lifetime and starred Christina Ricci, who took crazy to a whole nother level. And can I give a round of applause for the soundtrack? Totally kick butt. And now for a few pics from last week: I keep holding out hope that at some point I’ll be able to take my What I Wore Wednesday pictures outside again. No such luck. It’s still too cold… Martin Luther King, jr.’s birthday. Thank you to all of the men and…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 3 {In the Dark Room}
Hi, y’all. I hope you had a great weekend. I did. I spent time with my family just relaxing… Goodness knows I needed it after last week. It was emotionally draining… The hubs and I spent Saturday our usual way: breakfast at a locally owned restaurant and then running errands. It’s the old married couple’s version of a date. After church, I spent the rest of the day vegging on the sofa and playing with my iPad. “Fashion over function.” Those shoes are not practical library wear but they’re cute. A lady delivered a thank you card to my office because I let her husband use my truck to jump…
