Waterslides

Saturday, February 5, 2010

Yes, I am aware this is not a water slide course, but it's as close as I can get.

I went to a waterpark with a friend today...So. Much. FUN! We did all the

slides and had a blast! We were swimming/tubing for about nine hours...I'm

so tired.

Quote Of The Day:

"I have never seen a river that I could not love. Moving water...

has a fascinating vitality. It has power and grace and

associations. It has a thousand colors and a thousand shapes, yet

it follows laws so definite that the tiniest streamlet is an exact

replica of a great river." ~ Roderick Haig-Brown

50 Word Story:

Splish Slide Splash

Two girls running up the stairs, carrying a large tube. They stand in line,

waiting for their turn. As they reach the top, they take off down the slide,

laughing and screaming all the way. Into the splash pool, grins on their faces.

Up they go to do it again.

Summer Feet

Friday, February 4, 2011

These are my feet. Whoopee. I keep going back to the theme of summer...

I'm tired of bad snow and coldness. Summer is just...bliss. Only a few more

months. Oh who am I kidding, summer isn't coming anytime soon. *Sigh* All I

can do is blog...

Quote Of The Day:

"People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when

they're happy." ~ Anton Chekhov

50 Word Story:

Tough as Leather

Summer feet running across the lawn, the grass tickling toes. Down to the

beach barefoot, feeling the waves and the warm sand. Through the muddy

bank of the stream and into the cool water of the river, crossing stepping

stones. These are summer feet - tough, warm, and ready for adventure.

Definitions

Thursday, February 3, 2011

I took this shot real quick tonight, as I had no other way of expressing the

dictionary. This is our dictionary...it's quite old and probably out of date, but

it works. I've always wondered - what if there's a typo in the dictionary? I

guess nobody would know...To go with today's theme, here's the definition of

definition:

1/ The act of defining or making definite, distinct, or clear.

2/ The formal statement of the meaning or significance of a word, phrase, etc.

3/ The condition of being definite, distinct, or clearly outlined.

4/ Optics: Sharpness of the image formed by an optical system.

5/ Radio and Television: The accuracy of sound or picture reproduction.

Quote Of The Day:

"Dictionary - opinion expressed as truth in alphabetical

order." ~ John Ralston Saul

50 Word Story:

Indefinable

It was as though the dictionary was thrown at her every day. Words that

"categorized" or "defined" her were thrown harshly into the air, bombarding

her ears. The truth was nobody really knew how to define her. In reality, she

had no definition, at least, not in the common dictionary.

We all Scream for Ice Cream!

Wednesday, February 2, 2011

Another shot of my little doggies, this time enjoying the slight remains of

some vanilla ice cream...Sorry for not posting this yesterday, lots is going on,

both these posts will be brief.

Quote Of The Day:

"Stressed spelled backwards is 'desserts.'" ~ Author Unknown

50 Word Story:

Sweet, Sticky Mess

Hot summer sun that hangs over the world like an incubator. Two siblings

running down the beach, sticky fingers and faces. They carry a nearly empty

ice cream tub, the chocolate goodness smeared in their hair, coating their

faces, down their shirts. Nothing completes a summer day like ice cream.

Missing Summer

Tuesday, February 1, 2011

Happy February! It's been so sunny lately, I a) don't know what to do about

it, and b) really wish it was summer. I've actually thought that it felt like

summer. I wore shorts to walk to the library yesterday...not exactly the same

when it's not 85 degrees outside. I really want summer. Really bad. But on

another note, I want good snow. Humph. So today is a sunny post to break

up the cold weather and hopeless pictures. ;)

Quote Of The Day:

"Palm trees, ocean breeze, salty air, sun kissed hair. That

endless summer, take me there." ~ Author Unknown

50 Word Story:

Winter Summertime

Cold air nipping at her nose and brisk winds swirling in her hair. Winter was

ever present with sleet and grey skies. The sun seemed to be making shy, rare

appearances, not nearly often enough. But then one day, the sun beaming on

her face... a small splash of summer.
