My, What Big Eyes You Have! (Project 365: 59/365)

Buddy has the best, big, brown eyes!  I wanted a macro shot for today's photo and they pulled me right in!

This is yesterday's photo.  Jason and Tom were having a Wii boxing match...and placing bets on the game as usual.  It's been a great weekend!

Feed Me! (Project 365: 57/365)

Every day at 5:30 Buddy knows it's time for dinner. If you dare stand up, this is what happens until you feed the Giant Dawg and his three side-kicks.

In other news:

I found out a couple of weeks ago that I have gall stones.  In fact, one third of my gall bladder is full of stones.  So I had a consultation with a general surgeon this morning and the gall bladder is coming out.  On March 11 I can say good riddance to that worthless organ and resume my beer and wing eating habit.  Until then I have to watch the fat intake else I end up writhing around in misery, so it's a good thing to have yanked out.  Odd to think that up until 6 months ago I'd never been in the hospital for anything and now I'm going in for my second organ removal.  I hope this isn't some new trend because I'm not digging it.

And - it's Friday!  Going to hang with friends tonight, seeing Shutter Island tomorrow afternoon and hanging with friends again tomorrow night.  Gonna be a great, relaxing weekend!

My Rock (Project 365: 56/365)

I don't do a lot of portrait photography - it just isn't my thing.  But every once in a while it's nice to have some people photos. Particularly family people photos.  Even more particularly, family people photos who you don't have many photos of.  No, he does not like his photo taken.  I told him I wanted him to be my project photo tonight.  In his typical fashion he said "You have one shot", while standing in the kitchen with the refrigerator door partially open.  Anyone that knows him can hear that tone in his voice, along with the raised eyebrows that say "I'm serious".  This is my one shot.

Not only is this my one shot - this is my everything.  I live for this man.  He is my best friend, my confidant, my animal rescue partner...my everything.  I never dreamed I would meet someone I could connect with on every level...but yet here he is, married to me...me!  For almost 16 years now we've been together.  We've been through a lot and we've had a lot of good times.  And it's only the beginning.  I love you, babe!

Stir Up Some Fun! (Project 365: 55/365)

I wanted something sweet but wasn't hungry and found some Nesquik in the pantry. It's been sooo long since I've had a glass of chocolate milk! I happily consumed my prop once I was finished. :)

Stealer of Cat Food (Project 365: 54/365)

This Northern Mockingbird sure mocks our cat!  He keeps stealing the cat's food from the cat bowl that sits on the front porch.  I think he's not only puffed up from the cold, but a wee bit pudgy from the cat food calories!  (And don't worry, Big Worm the Cat stays plenty warm outside all winter huddled up in his insulated cat house!)

My Bone! (Project 365: 53/365)

Lois Lane is once again content now that we're home from our weekend away.  Her and Buddy even got into it today over a piece of treat they both found on the floor.  Neither was any worse for the wear, aside from the massive amounts of slobber all over Lois.  (That's a Buddy hair hanging off her lip, by the way - heehee!)

Lake Cumberland Weekend!

This weekend we finally made it to Lake Cumberland for our birthday celebration that was supposed to have been in January, but the snow had other plans for us at the time.  Though it actually worked out great.  The weather this weekend was gorgeous!  We had a wonderful, relaxing, fun weekend that was long over due.  We sat around all weekend playing pool, air hockey and the Wii.  There was also a hot tub that was nice (when it was working) and lots of good conversation along with a few adult beverages.  As with all fun weekends, it went by way too fast!  And a special thanks to Jenn and John for taking care of our pups at the last minute - you guys rock!

Since our Internet connection was very spotty I didn't get a chance to upload my Project 365 photos, so I'm lumping all three into this post.  They are all from Lake Cumberland, so it's fitting!

This is the front of the cabin we stayed in. It looks quite tiny from the front, but it was very spacious and slept 10 people. Since we were up on a mountain the back drops out into two stories and upper and lower decks.


Saturday night the Cats were playing so I managed to get most of the group in one shot while they were watching the game.


And today before we headed home we walked down to the boat ramp just down from the cabin to check out the water. The water level is low, but the water was beautiful!
