Photo Challenge Update #3

I got a little overwhelmed by the photo challenge, but I'm back in it!  I guess my inspiration only comes in spurts...photographer's block?

I've taken these over the last couple of weeks.

Day 7: Purple
I bring my Nalgene water bottle with me just about everywhere I go.  I'm not a great water drinker when it's not summer, so at school, I make a lot of herbal tea.  I like to think I'm eco-conscious although there is probably so much more I can do.  But I do not believe in bottled water.  Check out the documentary Tapped and also read this article about how children have so many cavities today because of not drinking flouridated tap water.

Day 10: Love
I love it when my puppy holds on to me with her front legs. It seems so human!

Day 12: Eat
I'm not much of a cook, but I'm really trying.  This was my first Pinterest recipe that I made, Asian Noodle Salad.  It took me a full two hours to chop up all of the ingredients fresh, but I felt very proud afterwards.  It was such a healthy dinner!  FYI...I added chicken so that Mr. GG would eat it.  (He LOVED it.) And I used 2 serrano peppers and tons of cilantro like the recipe asked for.  Result: too spicy for me (I could barely eat it) but Mr. GG and my friend loved the spice.  I made it again the next week with less cilantro, more chicken, penne pasta instead of linguine, and two different batches of the sauce and it was even better.

Day 17: Green
Practicing for St. Paddy's Day...Friday night.  I know green beer is cheesy, but I like a little cheese on holidays : ).

March Photo Challenge #1: Pieces of Me

I decided to join Belle's March Photo Challenge because it sounds fun and I'd like some random filler content, but I also secretly want to learn how to be a photographer.

I'm 31 and I know absolutely zilch about photography.

I will be taking my pictures with my trusty iphone and they will probably be grainy : ).  I asked Mr. GG for a fancy camera for Christmas, but like a starter version.  He didn't get me one.  So iphone it is.

Day 1 is a self-portrait:

I want to reveal a little bit about myself, but still remain virtually anonymous so here are my 2 top picks.

Yep, super grainy.  But that's me.  (After getting home from soccer last night. I guess I'm only sort of not playing anymore.)

Day 2: Feet

Would you be surprised if I said that I already had a picture of my feet on my phone?  Yes?  Well remember that Mr. GG is a foot person.  I sent him this pic last week when he was out of town to "Bring the Sexy Back."

I couldn't figure out any angle to make them look better than this.  And I was too lazy to stand up...

Now that you've seen 2 pieces of me, let me throw in a 3rd for good measure.

My knee after last night.

Happy Saturday.
