The words I use the most

Many of us get in the habit of using words over and over again. Some of these words are slang, and some just made up amongst friends. I can't think of a word off the top of my head I use the most often, but instead sayings. Whenever struck by an exciting idea or story, an "OH My Gosh!" will randomly out burst from my lips. One of my friends since 2nd grade used this saying all the time, and I guessed it rubbed off on me. During the awkward middle school years, I insisted on not being a girly-girl and constantly used "dude", god knows where this came from and why saying it was going to make me cooler.... but whatever.  During high school, I had an excessive overuse with the saying "sweet" for everything from a cute dress to getting an A on a test. Now a days I use the typical southern saying "y'all", and somewhat betray my northern roots. I also use "Hay dios Mio", whenever the mood strikes for a little espanol. My hispanic side of the family refers to events as "doings", and I also have adopted that into my everyday dialect. When ever one of my friends has a blonde moment, the saying "yeah, ok Karen" always comes up, in reference to a dumb blonde character in the movie Mean Girls. Over all I would have to say that my language use it heavily influenced by the people and culture around me, and it has made me who I am today.

Picture Number 67: Bare

The reflection of a bare tress against a building wall seems pretty simple, but ended up looking very nice.   Some of my favorite pictures are those of trees without leaves. The twisted and scrambled branches look more like art work than a hibernating plant.

Picture Number 66: Mirror Image

This old antique Mirror and wall paper were so pretty that I caved in and did the cliche "picture in the mirror of my self", but I think the end result is pretty good.

Picture Number 65: Side Mirror

Being stuck in traffic is never fun... unless you've got a camera! I took this shot of the cars behind me, through the reflection of my car's side mirror, don't worry I wasn't driving at the time.

Picture Number 64: Mi Madre

Knowing how much I love to take pictures, my grammy asked me one day to take a picture of her; "you know incase I die and I'm not prepared, at least I'll have my 'death picture' all together" she explained. Laughingly, I agreed to take her "death picture" and now every time I take a picture of a family member, like this one of my mom, I giggle remembering grammy's request.  

Picture Number 63: Golf Ball 3

A look from a different angle clearly show the recognizable outside golfball shape, while the rest of the ball shows the, not so frequently seen, inside layer.

Picture Number 62: Golf Ball 2

A closer look at the old golf ball. Here you can see some of the bumpy outer layer that wouldn't come off, and the scuff marks on it from all the golf games of use.
