Random Ramblings on My Weekend

Just taking a much-needed break from writing my massive research paper for my Ancient Greece class.  Anybody want to know about Socrates?  I'm practically an expert now (jk, not even close, but I do know enough to write a 8-10 page paper!)  My brain can't handle anymore right now.

School has really got me stressed out, especially these last few weeks.  I've had major tests, this paper and a huge final next week.  And I'm so lost in my web design class it's not even funny.  I thought it might be fun to learn a little html, especially since I've entered the blogging world-I want to be able to do more tweeking myself. Well, it turns out, computer language is WAAAAAAY over my head.  Luckily my teacher is super-nice and is trying to help me "get it."  So far, though, nothing's sinking in.

Enough of that.  What do you all have planned for your weekends?  Anything fun?

I've been taking the puppy to the dog park near our house the last couple days.  He loves it!  He plays til his little heart's content with the other dogs, then comes up and takes a 2 hour power nap.  Here he is, passed out in the car.  So cute.

The hubby and I got to go on a date last night. We went bowling.  He beat me (by a lot.  I'm an awful bowler, but I still like playing) but we still had a great time.  

I hope you all have a great weekend and aren't stuck at home like me, writing research papers!

It's Monday! (again)

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend.  I sure did.  Finally over my cold and Bobby was feeling a lot better, too. The hubs got to come home early from his trip, but has to take off again tomorrow : (  At least I got a couple days with him.  My sisters-in-law and I had a grand time playing around down by one of the many lakes here in Lakeland, taking pictures and just goofing off on Saturday.  We had a little photo project that we were working on.  We wanted to find things that looked like letters and do the whole alphabet.  Mostly so we could make our own ones of these:

Char and I had seen some at Target (this one is actually from Lisa Leonard's blog-I couldn't find any on Target's website, they must only be in the stores) and I thought, we could make our own!  We decided to do the whole alphabet for fun (and for any future projects.)

Here's what I did with the pictures we took.  I quite like it.

Nothing like a day where there's nothing really to do but what you want.  I haven't had much photography time, so this was so much fun for me.  And I got to spend some quality time with my lovely sisters-in-law.  Not to mention that after weeks and weeks of cold, the weather was b-e-a-utifil!  Couldn't have asked for a better day.

Sunday we went back to my mom's to celebrate my brother's 18th birthday.  I made him this:

Boston Cream Pie (from scratch, mind you.  No box mixes here!)  It was delish!

So, that, in a nutshell, was my weekend.  How was yours?  Do anything fun?  Relaxing?

With all this photography running through my brain, imagine my excitement when I saw this giveaway!
