Dropped The Ball Already

Yesterday I totally did not pickup my Nikon at all..I know 12 days in and I am already failing at my goal but I was starting to feel like I might be getting the crud so I chilled on the couch most of the day.

I did get a few pics of Matilda with my iPhone though so did not fail at picture a day goal. LOL

Today I did better! I even took all my Christmas presents out of the packaging which sometimes takes til the end of January. Sooo woo to the hoo for me!!

Brad got me this cool little set up from cowboy studios to take my pics of products and guess what came in the mail today…IPSY.

My favorite thing about this set up is the carrying case and how compact it is.

Everything literally folds down to this ↓

There are pockets for both lights and a little tripod that it comes with as well.

Pretty cool right!

I will have all the products I received in my IPSY bag on Mondays blog post. I know I am mean muhahahaha.

Walking & Playlists

One of my other goals not resolution this year besides getting all comfy cozy with my DSLR is walking everyday for at least 30 minutes. I used to be very structured about this but kinda fell off the wagon when my back was so messed up last year.

Since I do my PT pretty regularly my back is much better so the walking everyday has come back into play.

And since I love to multitask I thought this would be the perfect time to see the real difference between an action photo taken with the built in auto action setting on my camera (Left) and an action photo taken with manual (Right).Pretty big difference right?? But I think I slowed it down a bit too much on the Right one cause it looks like I am standing still. LOL (and yes those are Tilda’s kitty cat babies. They help me stay motivated!!)

I have added several core workouts over the past several months as well to my PT/exercise which I watch/do daily. You can find them on Tracy Campoli’s YouTube page. I really like how down to earth she is and I love that she has low impact stuff for us back challenged individuals.

Here is my playlist of some of my favorites.

Hope you are all having a great Wednesday! The weekend is almost here!!

Just Over Here Holding My Breath

Both guys were sick as dogs all weekend so my life pretty much looked like these pictures plus lots of laundry, wiping everything down with Lysol AGAIN and very little sleep!

Don’t you love our older then dirt hot mist humidifier and nebulizer. I think it is time for some new equipment. The nebulizer literally sounds like the space shuttle taking off when you turn it on.

My son’s permanent spot all weekend since he had to be hooked up to the rocket ship several times a day. (I told him not to go out in the cold right after he had gotten over a virus but what do we Mom’s know nothing apparently I type as I roll my eyes!)

Tilda thought the weekend was the bestest ever cause the bed was never made and that made for nice comfy naps.

Here is hoping next weekend is better and all these germs get the heck out of my house!!

Happy Tuesday
