Phriday Fotos I

Yay! I got some time to take some pictures with our Nikon Coolpix S570!!  Wow, do I suddenly remember how I love to take pictures... especially random macro ones... :)

The wackiest and most "disorganized" corn I have ever seen.
My sis and I theorize that the birds or bees were
severely distracted when pollinating each grain.
Maybe *shrugs*
Or the corn cob just felt like being unique...

The shoes I am forced to wear around the house...


Family room carpet

This one turned out a LOT cooler than I expected!

We're trying to make the blueberries blue INSIDE the house,
because the obnoxious mocking birds outside
relentlessly harvest the delectable berries without permission.
Unfortunately, blueberry branches don't do well in vases, so they're very dried up :( .

I do not know WHY it looks so dusty :P ...

See? it's not dusty anymore... mirror-like surface!!

Here's a picture one of my favorite little 5yo boys drew JUST for me! :)



Looking DOWN the window blinds...

Looking UP the window blinds...

Window curtains

self-explanatory


Candy ... I give my students when they've practiced well during the week...
One student thinks it's medicine O.O
(Yes, I bribe my students... sorta)


First page of the final movement of Rach's 3rd Concerto...



That there is >50 pages... toldya it was long and intense ;)



Chair... head-piece? 

Picture frame

tiny square of the picture inside the picture frame...

KEYS!!! so cool (imho)



Spout of the glass water pitcher...


Asis' box for a wood-burning project in middle school...

Kitchen tiles


Stair handrail

Ummm... the bottom part of the banisters...


I have no reason for my obsession with stairs... perhaps the unique perspectives I can get?



A little "trinket" box


one of my favorite bracelets and I don't know why...


again... self-explanatory




Don't ask... I was being weird...




Yes, we put Ferrero Rocher stickers on our laptops
'cause we like chocolate so much...



And that's all...

Have a great weekend! (which I know a good many of you are having ;) )...

    Awesome pics!! :D We have another thing in common.. taking mostly ultra-macro pictures of very random things. ;)

    I think I used to have that exact style of flip-flops.. maybe a different color though.

    Can I have some candy? =)

    BWAHA! I've put Ferrero Rocher stickers on my computer! I was afraid they would get stuck forever though, so now we keep them on the paper on our wall with our fruit and vegetable sticker collection. =)

    Thanks! :) Oh goodie! Love having things in common with friends :) .

    O.O The $1 flipflops from Walmart?

    Yes! Would you like a Fruit Disc? :)

    Oh!! I didn't think about that - well, the intention is for it to stick... :P

    Hmm... I think they cost more like $2 up here :P

    YESYESYESS!!!! CANNDYYYZZ!! Thin Q =o)

    BAHA now THERE'S a thought... Stickers are meant to stick O__O Who woulda thunk? Does this mean I can stop putting superglue on them every time I use one? It does get rather hazardous when I put them on little kids' faces.. =/

Surprising even myself...

I stepped WAY out of my comfort zone today.  At least, my comfort zone of 2010... even further out of my comfort zone of 2009 and 2008. It's amazing how having students who look up to you forces you to do what you would never do if you had a choice.  That's not the only thing that's changed me in the last couple years, but it's what comes to mind. I don't think most of my readers/followers know the intensity of my shyness when I was younger.  I hated  and I mean, hated , talking with new people.  I didn't like talking on the phone.  I didn't even want to talk with old friends that I hadn't seen in a little over a year.  I didn't want the attention people gave when I was saying something.  I was so cross and stern-looking when I spoke, my parents thought I had happiness/joy issues. I'm not sure if I liked that feature about me, but I blamed it on my personality. I don't know if it was fear, pride, or a mixture of the two.  I just didn...

Internal Emotional Wearing-down

Where I've come from: I have been driven by fear and a desire to please people. I hate that. I thought I could live for my own values and beliefs... but I haven't been able to. Not until this past Sunday. I told my mother off... I was breaking down inside. I have wanted to die for over a year now. Everything seemed hopeless. Not so much for me, but for my purpose and effective work on planet earth. I saw no fruit. I could labor for the rest of my days to live and serve my God. And never ever see the results... and not that I need to see something... but because I knew that what I did WAS POINTLESS. I was doing nothing. And it was because in my mother's eyes, I would never be ready. I would never be enough. She thought she was protecting. She wasn't letting me grow. I can't do more if all you let me do is what is safe. ~CJ

Simplified Decisions

I got another letter in the mail earlier today, this time from Moore (South Carolina business school). My hunches are scarily frequently accurate.  I wasn't upset, but I knew it wasn't going to be joyous news.  Bluntly, I was rejected again. I was tempted to get bummed, but I pushed that feeling aside. The reason being, it's what my Mother wanted.  Let me explain before you think my Mother is either delirious or cruel. Ever since I made the decision to get an MBA and picked out a couple schools to attend, Mother dear started praying God would only open 1 door and close all others. She didn't tell me.  So, I really wondered why she wasn't as sad as I expected her to be when we found out I had been rejected from Babson and  Duke. (My Mother really, really, really  wanted me to go to Duke for several reasons). It's pretty apparent that I will be going to Acton School of Business now.  I'm technically still waiting to hear from Carnegie Mello...
