31. Hidden

The Trojanaires list is hidden.  Posting it while students are around is not my idea of fun.

30. Card

My favorite birthday card EVER.  Fuzzy.  And from my Big.

29. Down

It's still August.  Why have autumn leaves fallen already??

28. Clock

No more "time is no object" summer days...

27. Tap

How many people can say they have a "tap" in their office?

24. Path and 25. Fresh and 26. Dream

24.  We forged our own path in the creek bed Friday.  One of the things I love most about Stony Brook State Park.

25.  A marriage only a few minutes old in one of the first states in the country to approve gay marriage.  Much love to my cousins!


26.  I'm not sure I could have taken a picture of last night's dream if I wanted to.  Biologically infected blue lizard-like things (think Avatar people with a menacing reptile twist) that were trying to kill everyone.  In a house / building of some sort that I'd never been in before.  Disturbing, I know.  And no, I have no idea where that came from.

23. Pair

Em loves elephants!  What better way to add to a collection than with a pair of salt and peppers!

22. Home

I received this as a gift a few Christmases ago, and it's placed prominently in our front room.

21. Cool

Love Adele.  However, don't love "Call Me Maybe."

19. Hole

My baby sister got me Carcassonne for my birthday, and poor Mom was waiting forever for the piece to fill that hole!

18. Inside

"Inside" the car on the way to Mom and Dad's, Em was a cat lady - one on her lap, one on her shoulders.

17. Faces

The many faces of my students.  They clean up good!  :)

16. Food

Nothing says "pick me up" like chocolate chip pancakes cookie-style.  Who needs syrup??

15. Ready

I am ready to hit the trail and learn to love running.

13. Simple

A simple muffin for breakfast before going into work for a few hours.

12. Spoon

Do you have any idea how hard it is to eat a Frosty with a spoon and drive at the same time?  Lesson learned.

11. Purple

Scrapbooking today with Megs!

10. Ring

We're classy around here.  We don't use coasters.  We like condensation rings.

9. Messy

It probably doesn't look that bad, but you should have seen how neat it was before I had kids in here.

7. 8 o'clock

Hello band camp!  Getting ready for a day of rehearsal by stretching it out.

6. Writing

I'm in the middle of an excellent book ("The Weird Sisters") but I can't read more than a page before I fall asleep!

5. Logo

Pyware is a marching band drill (movement) design software - band camp starts tomorrow.  Enough said.

4. Somewhere I Sat

I indulged in quite a bit of scrapping today.  :)  Love my craft room.

2. One

See that blob of green under my cat?  That is a $1 toy we impulse-bought today, and it's already provided countless hours of entertainment.

1. Outside

It's August!  Where did the summer go?  Fat Mum Slim's August Photo a Day challenge is a little intimidating at first glance, so we'll see how this unfolds!  If you want to start, you can view her post here.

See all those scraps?  They should be "inside" those scrap keepers...
