Day 30: Self Portrait

I have decided to join some other bloggers to do a 30 day challenge. We are following a fun list of things to take a picture of every day for a month. It would be awesome to have you join in on the fun! Just let me know so I can follow ya. 🙂

Day 30: Self Portrait

DONE!!!! Praise the Lord. I hope you have enjoyed this little 30 day challenge with me and please hear me when I say I’m really glad I did this and that it was fun. It was! …..but

oh. my. gosh. I am so ready to be done with this! lol I think just because it was always in the back of my mind everyday ‘what’s today? what do I need to take a picture of?’ And I have enough little bothersome annoyig things that go on in my mind, I am happy to cross this little baby off the list. Freedom!

And now…all control is in my hot little hands. Muuahahahahaha!!!! I feel I can write about whatever I want and not be a slave to an internet challenge that I myself agreed to do.

If you’ve stayed with me during this I wish I could hug you. 🙂 Your desire to see what I wrote in this teeny blog is beyond me and I want to say thanks.

Onion Rings

I have noticed a trend in my making and baking…it all seems to be unhealthy. Unfortunately this post isn’t any better. Instead of being super sweet it’s super greasy. But it was really tasty! Yes, as you can tell from the title of this post, I made onion rings for dinner last night. (link is a similar recipe. I didn’t follow any but fooled around in the kitchen and made my own kinda) I was really nervous because I was making them with red onions. Would they turn out and taste as good as yellow onions? Yes! They didn’t look like a bloomin onion or anything, but they were great! And super fast and always a favorite with me. One red onion made about 15 onion rings. I apologize for the pictures- not my best or favorite. I am still learning how to take pictures at night and use all the different options my camera has. It doesn’t help that I’m not a fan of the flash either. Hope you can make them- kids would enjoy helping you.

Yesterday Emma and I went to the park to enjoy the falling leaves and cooler weather. It was nice to get out of the house and not have to drive anywhere. Below are also some photos of our time there. Enjoy!
