Easter, Time for Chocolate Bunnies and Fake Plastic Grass (30 of 365)

This Easter was a little rushed and a blur, but I spent some time with my family, playing games, going to the movies, and finding these "Helpful Hints" on the egg coloring set very helpful in figuring out what to do first, ha!

This was a quick photo I took with my Nexus One and had to share. Kudos goes to my youngest sister for catching this one!

Family weekend! (29 of 365)

I got together with my family for a movie weekend back in the beginning of April. The guys went to go see Hot Tub Time Machine and the girls went to go see that new Miley Cyrus movie...The Last Song.

I would totally recommend going to see HTTM if you haven't already (if it still is in theaters this is), if not, queue that up on Netflix yo!

This fun photo was taken with my Nexus One on the way out of the movie theater to dinner at Old Chicago, yum!

Left Handed Guitar (15 of 365)

"...I blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots..."

Ah Garth, with classic songs like that and his impressive stage presence, it is no wonder how he has achieved so much! I was even lucky enough to be one of the thousands to see him perform on his nine night comeback performance in Kansas City, MO. He is definitely one who has inspired me with the guitar.

The other is my grandmother. She started teaching me when I was young and boy was that a challenge. Being left handed, I was learning to play the guitar upside-down! "But the years went by and the rock just died..." Basically my family moved and I was not receiving lessons anymore. I started to pick it back up after college, but it is one of those things you have to really sit and put a lot of time into. Time that I do not have much of, ha!

This was taken with my XSi using the 18-55mm lens and flash. The guitar was sent to me from my grandmother when I mentioned I was wanting to get back into playing again. I'm trying grandma, I promise!

No Problem (14 of 365)

"I don't have a drinking problem. I get drunk, fall down, no problem"

Thanks for this quote goes out to a shirt my dad has from his college days. I still have yet to even have him loan it too me, ha!

A meager collection, but all are very much to my liking. Surprising as I have access to a "package store" within walking distance too.

This photo was taken on my XSi using the 18-55mm lens and using the studio lighting that came with my place. The plants are two of many I have around my apartment. Yet another one of my hobbies, a green thumb.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! (13 of 365)

Brian and Stewie have their green and party on! I picked both of these guys up at Dave & Busters. Went for a full meal and to play all sorts of fun games. I even had some pretty awesome luck with the giant claw machine. My sister was trying to get this gigantic stuffed dolphin and after many swipes of her players card I stepped in to show her how it was done. I picked out this gigantic stuffed orca and got it on the first try. Boy was she pissed, ha! Well after about another 20 or so swipes of our players cards we finally got her dolphin.

This picture was taken on my Nexus One. Oh, and I did not have to fight a claw machine for these guys, tickets from playing the games were enough for both of them. It was either them or a few pounds of candy, ha!

Check Mate (02 of 365)

Ah chess, great game to pass the time and to give your brain a good workout! Reminds me of the start of Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, the pieces in all sorts of disarray...mine are obviously lined up for a great battle!

The chess pieces are made of glass and the board is a mirror where the off-color has been frosted. The set is thanks to my sister and her fiancée. What a great gift! The picture is taken once again with my N1 believe it or not. I swear it is the best for grabbing a quick and perfect snapshot!
