Activities with Amy

Amy and I got pretty bored one night and we did some light painting on one of the dark streets in downtown Kingman.  We had free fun, which is hard to come by these days.

This one is my favorite of Amy she looks like an ANGEL!

 Amy made this one for her husband Robert

 Amy has unimaginable powers!

 Light robot

 Light baby

 Bart Simpson

All of a sudden Amy's all  " PRETEND LIKE YOU'RE PUKING ECTOPLASM!" I love that woman.

There are at least 10 more of these, but you get the gist.

Emily

 My sister Emily and I are completely different people, night and day you might say. She is 10 years my junior, has a boyfriend in the army (who my mom says "asked for her hand in marriage") and works at a pet store while trying to finish college and hopefully get a decent job. She has lots of tattoos and likes to show them off so I took some pictures of her on Christmas day while we waited for our parents to come to the dinner I had made at Amy's new house, which is pretty empty because they haven't moved in quite yet. It was fun taking pictures in a place with so much space and color.

Arizona

I spent Christmas in AZ  this year, driving last week was quite the adventure because of all the heavy rain that was received in the south. I stopped by the Virgin River Gorge to check out the swollen river. I have never seen this river so huge!

 I will be posting more photos from my trip soon.

Sorry!

For those of you who are avid reader of my silly blog, you may recall the "quality men here in provo" rant that happened a few months ago, I am occasionally interested in seeing who visits the blog because I am totally vain like that. The two most visited posts are the one where I rip a new one into the Mormon male psyche and another about some plums I stole over the summer, that one is read almost every day!  Random I know.

Anyway, I feel kind of bad because not all men in Provo are that superficial, the ones I know are already dating girls that aren't me. As for the rest of these male gems?  I'm sure if you are 18, thin and looking for a husband... this is the place...for you.  However since I am older, chubbier, and have a bit more personality (sometimes too much for my own good) I tend to either intimidate other women to the point where they want nothing to do with me, or I attract similar girls with interests in life and love and all the dreams that come with it, and become the best-est friends of all the boys I have loved, cheers to me! Not that there is anything wrong with that either, I will welcome friends in all shapes sizes and emotional attachments. 
Better yet, I hang with married people, which always seems to be safe and consequently more fun than hanging out with other lonely single girls on an idle weekday eve.

I initially started this blog with the intent of apologizing to the women who read the rant blog because those things happen to me, and probably won't happen to them. But if they do decide to move here for men, be warned! Mostly of that one guy who will remain nameless and I am still counting on Heavenly Father and the universe to take care of that monstrosity.

I have been sick, in a weird way all week. I can't eat without getting nauseating heartburn and other unpleasant gestational quirks.The only good thing about being sick? I've lost the holiday/ Momma Carr death weight I gained. YAY.  I was supposed to head up to Salt Lake tonight for a party with friends I haven't seen in a while but had to skip out because I felt so icky. I ended up going to the temple instead with my dear friends Destiny and Eliza (who are single, but not lonely and marriage hungry) and I felt a little better afterwards, I was SO hungry that I came home ransacked the kitchen completely looking for Mac and cheese (the kraft kind) and I was convinced it would cure me, I found a box of Western Family that had something oily and sticky on the bottom and that was SO A NO-GO.  I had to drive down to Allens  in scary snow and picked up 2 boxes of spiraly, cheesy goodness. At home I made them both with the intent of eating it all, because you know I hadn't really eaten much today and I deserve it! HOWEVER after a little bit I started to get sick again so Toby the dog got a nice treat. The other box and a half of Mac and cheese is now in a bowl, wrapped tightly with plastic, and hopefully waiting for someone else to eat it. I'm sorry I let you down Mac! Now lets get on with that heartburn!!!

Watercolors from class

I got my portfolio back today, here are some of my favorites and some of my professors faves.  I really like working with watercolors now that I know how to use them. I find that I am a more abstract than realism artist. That's okay, you gotta stick with what you can do, and until I can get more training this is it! I will be giving away these painting so if you want one text me or email me @ applecomb@yahoo.com and I'll let you know if I still have it and will gladly mail it to you or you can come by and pick it up!



 The red pigeon is my emotional state, she's huddled and closed off, hopefully this will change soon :)

 Painted on wood, a fun project.







 One of my favorites from the class are these trees

My professor LOVED this one, I'm not really a fan.

My personal favorite from the class ( I will not be giving this one away)

Jessica

Tree study

This blue one I painted and then gave away as a white elephant gift.

 The red and lellow one is a gift for a friend at work. She didn't give me anything specific to paint just colors, so that's what she got!

Walks

There is nothing better than taking a walk on a sunsety afternoon with your camera. If you look for things all sorts of beauty pops out along the way.

Don't judge me, I used a digital camera this time....FILM IS EXPENSIVE and my creative needs are great in the world of photography.

This one is my favorite, just a little color left.

I loved the way this toy truck was parked, as if it were coming down the mountains.

Love these flowers...

Let em' Fly

More B/W taken with ansco 1065 400 ISO

These are from Momma Carr's burial. The grand kids wrote notes, attached them to balloons and let them go. I know these aren't pretty and clear, but I really do adore all the imperfections.

 Grave stones are great for climbing!!

He was upset because he didn't want to lose his note.
