Confessions and other Random Musings

Today I treat whoever reads this blog to the odd assortment of things floating around in my brain.

First of all I am told this day in history my brothers were very enthralled with the monster trucks on the TV in the waiting room. My big sister was perhaps planning wedding details. My dad needed a bit of OJ, because of feeling slightly faint during the delivery and well I think my mother was one happy mama.


Ironically the devotional reading this morning was about Abraham and Sarah and the child of their old years. Ahem. Mom and dad found this very funny. I really don't think my parents are that old, but well the senior citizen discount does come in handy sometimes..




What I have discovered about myself as a photographer.
I think I must confess something , recently a new camera came into my possession and I've been unable to stop taking pictures. One thing I've noticed is my inability to not take pictures of people's feet. I am not really sure what is, but I find myself entranced with shoes and taking very many pictures of them. Would this make me a feet stalker? Hello my name is Beth and a shoe picture taker addict. Speaking of being a so called stalker, my most favorite picture subject is unsuspecting people doing the most interesting things and freezing these moments forever. Alas the problem is I'm not always very sneaky and my victims become aware and start to pose for the camera than the candid moment is forever ruined. It really does make me unhappy when this happens. I feel like a moment of history is lost, but perhaps that is overreacting...


Another confession today I made nearly all my birthday food. Its rather a birthday tradition for me to make the meal no matter how many people are coming over. And its not that I have too, but rather that I get too. Last year my niece kicked me out of the kitchen, but this year I shooed my mother out. Of course I never say no to people doing things for me, so lets just say I'm happy doing whatever. I made what I pleased by the way and the menu included lots of cooked onions for I love onions. Never fear though I also like icy peppermint gum.


Today I got a new hat and like it very much, because I simply think a hat adds quite a bit intrigue to anybody's physic. Yes I do find them quite catching indeed. I even found wearing a dusty ball cap to drive tractor quite...well not charming, but maybe quite uh famish, on the other hand wearing a vintage hat with a veil...pure bliss. I have an decided opinion about the hats at the royal wedding, lets just say I didn't think they were charming in the least. I am not telling how many hats that hang on my wall. Only that there is more than the number of heads I have.

Anything else I care to write about myself? Well...I might as well own up to the fact I have become a friend of coffee. It helps me survive after those short nights and I cannot begin to say enough about a lovely iced mocha enjoyed in the presence of amusing friends.


I realize that what I wrote probably had no relevance except to myself, but it will probably be quite amusing in a few years to read what I wrote on my birthday. Now I shall go write on real paper about the important things of life...the things that are really shaping my walk withe Lord.
