Our Wisconsin Dells Trip

Our trip to Wisconsin Dells is my favorite type of trip. It was so laid back and a whatever happens happens sort of a thing. That's the way vacations should be, relaxing.

Don't get me wrong, we did our fair share of walking and were pretty much exhausted at the end of each day. Thank goodness we brought movies with so we could just sit back and relax. 

On the day of the trip I got it into my head that it'd be fun if we did a photo challenge in the Dells. So, I spent most of the drive there making a list of fun things to take pictures of. And here is what I came up with:

o Cheese
o Water Park
o Ups and Downs
o A piece of History
o A good brew
o Serenity
o A beautiful sight
o Comic Relief
o The Culture
o Body of Water
o Streets Ahead
o Good Eats
o Work of Art

o Paul Bunyan

Here's a downloadable PDF version to print off. And the pictures above are the products of our imaginations taken by my mom.

All in all the trip was pretty awesomely relaxing and I can't wait for it to come around again next year. Maybe I'll even write up a different photo challenge.

#Wisdells2013

Yes, it's that time of year again! My mom, my sister and my annual trip to Wisconsin Dells. It'll be three days of eating, walking, sleeping, laughing,  eating, and other general tom-foolery. By time you're reading this, we'll already be on the road... Hopefully...

I don't think I'm in the minority when I say, packing is the worst part about traveling. It's so hard to decide what I'll be in the mood to wear. What will be weather appropriate? You know how the weather guys always get it wrong. I never know what I'll want to read when there's down time. Should I bring movies or shouldn't I bring movies? Will my entire pen and notebook collection fit in my duffle bag? And oh geez, what about food? There are just so many things to think about! In the end though, this gal knows, or at least she should know, that there's really no use fretting over these things because no matter what, the company alone makes for a pretty kick ass vacations.

Journey into Sewdonia: Day 01

This is what I imagine Sewdonia would look like.

"I kind of want to dress like Blossom and Six." That was pretty much my main motivation behind learning how to sew. I'll admit I have wanted to learn how to make my own clothes for much longer than that, but never had the motivation and drive to actually do it until then. Which is sad because I've had a teacher right at my fingertips since birth.

This Gal's Work Out Routine

You hear it all the time, "Well, I started working out and then I got sick and I never got back into it." People use that same tired excuse all the time. And I am so proud of myself that I didn't use it earlier this month. The dramatic part of me would say I was on my death bed for the better part of a week. But the rational part of me would say I was slightly ill for about two days. Therefore, the truth is I was fairly ill for three or four days. Nevertheless, I didn't work out for an entire week but when I was feeling better I eased my way back into it by doing one of Back On Pointe's Morning Workouts three days for a week. But now I'm back into the swing of things and ready to get back into the groove of things.

Week of March 24 - March 30

I lost all inspiration for this project for a few days. So, I went over to 365project.org to get ideas and prompts. These are my answers to the prompt, 'Curves.'
