The Backyard Adventurer

   Most people say that a foggy, wet, gloomy day is quite disgusting. I may have thought so myself as well when I woke up this morning. But if you just take a minute, you may notice some things that can be quite beautiful in the stillness of the afternoon.

the key

someone once said when i was wearing this necklace that it was the key to my heart. well, i don't know about that, but whatever one wants to say, they will say it. everyone has something they hold close to them, whether there is a key that unlocks that secret, or not, i guess that time will just have to tell.

hey kids..

Watch out where you put your snowman.

Like the picture shows, Batman just can't resist a nice roundhouse kick to a nice icy snow face.

Where was Batman when the Doctor needed him??

sick days

blech. i feel gross today. which is probably why i am updating my seldom-updated blog. but after so much time around the house not feeling great, one goes a bit nuttier than they already are. so, what happens are not-so-candid shots like this one.

when i'm sick i like to drink tea and watch either movies (that are cheesy, of course) or tv shows and play words with friends in my jammies. i also like to read, but i just finished a book and so my brain's a bit laggy. which is not a word but i just made it into one.

oh, and yes. i still own a teddy bear. strange, i know. but try very hard not to be jealous. not everyone can be as cool as this girl (wink wink. *sarcastic cough*).

have a great day! and don't catch anything!

mirror, mirror

i've taken a lot of mirror pictures. i just like them. i like playing with the reflections and seeing what i can do with them. this is my latest. i painted a red heart on my mirror a long time ago because i had extra paint, and hearts just make me happy (they just do, okay?)

hey!

so how is everyone's fall going?

here are a few shots of mine:

the anatomy of a breakfast burrito

yay! i got the spelling of burrito right on the first try! you're probably shaking your head at this point in the post. first, you are thinking, wow, you take a hiatus on your blog and the first post back is about the parts of a breakfast burrito? and now, you're all up on yourself for spelling meandering words right on the first try.

well, that's how i roll. while cooking this noontime, i thought it would be fun to categorize the different parts of the meal. which turns out, is rather hard. in addition to going back and forth from the refrigerator to the stove to the microwave (yes, cooking with this girl absolutely involves using those microwaves) to the fridge to the microwave without anything burning, stirring here, grabbing an ingredient there, and snapping photos. let's just say i'm a girl of many talents.

so i don't cook too often. and i'm not a very good one. well, on the dishes that i've practiced i suppose i am. i have homemade alfredo sauce down to a pat. and i don't even follow a recipe. i just go by what feels right. tasting along the way. always using a clean spoon, mind you. you are probably turning your computer off right now, shaking your head at my lack of, er, cookingness. yes. a made up word. but that's okay. made up words are fine on this bloggity blog.

so the anatomy of a breakfast burrito.

here goes:
