			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, it&#8217;s bow season at least.  Cody&#8217;s hunted one morning for the past two weekends.  He&#8217;s kinda hoping that he see&#8217;s this guy.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/?attachment_id=2250" rel="attachment wp-att-2250"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/wpid2249-20110923-MDGC0193.jpg' class='' width='500' height='375'/></a>0</p>
<p>But of course, you can&#8217;t eat the horns. </p>
<p>Of course, for Cody. . . the socialite that he is. . . it means a chance to talk and hang out with every one on the lease.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/?attachment_id=2231" rel="attachment wp-att-2231"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/wpid2230-20111002_CodyIphone-2.jpg' class='alignnone size-full wp-image-2231' width='500' height='335'/></a></p>
<p>And more of me waiting on him to quit talking. . .</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/?attachment_id=2233" rel="attachment wp-att-2233"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/wpid2232-20111002_CodyIphone-5.jpg' class='' width='500' height='335'/></a></p>
<p>and talking. . .</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/?attachment_id=2235" rel="attachment wp-att-2235"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/wpid2234-20111002_CodyIphone-10.jpg' class='' width='500' height='335'/></a> </p>
<p>So we can get some work done.  We added a couple bags of corn to the feeders and checked the cards opening weekend.</p>
<p>The game camera captured this one.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/?attachment_id=2255" rel="attachment wp-att-2255"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/wpid2254-20111002-MDGC0006.jpg' class='alignnone size-full wp-image-2255' width='500' height='375'/></a></p>
<p>We lvoe our game cameras- they capture so many things- like this little guy (or gal)</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/?attachment_id=2253" rel="attachment wp-att-2253"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/wpid2251-20110926-MDGC0060.jpg' class='alignnone size-full wp-image-2253' width='500' height='375'/></a></p>
<p>Cody was not feeling the camera thing- trust me, I didn&#8217;t even try to capture a shot of us kissing using the game cameras. . .<em> (<a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/my-scrapbook/?pid=377">See this moment here when I busted him the last time</a>.)</em></p>
<p>  <a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/?attachment_id=2247" rel="attachment wp-att-2247"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/wpid2246-20111002_CodyIphone-37.jpg' class='alignnone size-full wp-image-2247' width='500' height='335'/></a></p>
<p>He wouldn&#8217;t give me a chance to get the sunglare figured out. . . Should have posted the one with the glare right over his nose that makes him look like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. . .</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/?attachment_id=2245" rel="attachment wp-att-2245"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/wpid2244-20111002_CodyIphone-23.jpg' class='alignnone size-full wp-image-2245' width='500' height='335'/></a> <a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/?attachment_id=2241" rel="attachment wp-att-2241"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/wpid2240-20111002_CodyIphone-21.jpg' class='alignnone size-full wp-image-2241' width='500' height='335'/></a> <a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/?attachment_id=2239" rel="attachment wp-att-2239"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/wpid2238-20111002_CodyIphone-20.jpg' class='alignnone size-full wp-image-2239' width='500' height='335'/></a></p>
<p>Of course, I&#8217;m not sure I can totally blame him. . . he did have a little bit of other work to do- but not too much.</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/?attachment_id=2237" rel="attachment wp-att-2237"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/wpid2236-20111002_CodyIphone-12.jpg' class='alignnone size-full wp-image-2237' width='500' height='335'/></a> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow!  It&#8217;s been a busy week!  Here&#8217;s updates for my December Daily:</p>
<p>December 12:</p>
<div id="attachment_1716" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-12-copy.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-12-copy.jpg' class='size-full wp-image-1716' width='500' height='500'/></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Journaling reads: He&#39;s home. Cody got back from the deer lease leaving his familiar black bag in the living room. It seems like that bag is a fixture in our lives these days with all his trips to Austin and New Waverly this year. Of course, now with hunting season there are even more piles and messes but I&#39;m always glad when he&#39;s back home.</p></div>
<p>December 13:</p>
<div id="attachment_1718" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-13-copy.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-13-copy.jpg' class='size-full wp-image-1718' width='500' height='500'/></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Journaling reads: He&#39;s home.

<p>December 14:</p>
<div id="attachment_1720" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-14-copy1.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-14-copy1.jpg' class='size-full wp-image-1720' width='500' height='500'/></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Journaling Reads: Once again, we chose children from the angel tree instead of exchanging gifts with family. Five kids and lumpy fishing and hunting items made me remember how much I really donât like wrapping presents. . . itâs not by any means a talent of mine. But, the gifts all got wrapped before NCIS came on and date night began and that felt good.</p></div>
<p>December 15th:</p>
<div id="attachment_1721" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-15-copy.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-15-copy.jpg' class='size-full wp-image-1721' width='500' height='500'/></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Journaling Reads: Cody took these pictures as I baked cookies for the Troops that Cody would see tomorrow at the strip. I love these pics- they show just how at home I am when cooking. Speaking of home- today I ordered a necklace with my 2011 one little word- Home</p></div>
<p>December 16th:</p>
<div id="attachment_1722" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-16-copy.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-16-copy.jpg' class='size-full wp-image-1722' width='500' height='500'/></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Journaling reads: Finally, we had a chance to get our tree. We wondered around until we found our own little slice of a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. We always do- the perfect tree doesn&#39;t exist on this hill where we always get our tree. Now to decorate it.</p></div>

<p>Here&#8217;s my pages up through tonight and a slice of life this last week.</p>
<p>Dec 7th</p>
<div class="mceTemp">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt">
<div id="attachment_1700" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-07-copy.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-07-copy.jpg' class='size-full wp-image-1700' width='500' height='500'/></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Really? So I forgot to unplug the truck one morning last year. Two notes! Perhaps one, but two. It was the first time I&#39;ve headed for work when the truck was plugged in since this spring, but I donât think I needed both reminders from Cody before he left town. But perhaps I did. If nothing else this one made me smile.</p></div>
</dt>
<dt class="wp-caption-dt">Dec 8th</dt>
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-08-copy1.jpg"></a></dt>
</div>
<p class="wp-caption-dt">Dec 10</p>
<div id="attachment_1704" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-10-copy.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-10-copy.jpg' class='size-full wp-image-1704' width='500' height='500'/></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cody was off early today so he went to the grocery store, came home and packed, and went hunting. When I got home after work, there were three Little Debby Christmas Trees on the counter. I knew Cody was in the blind so I texted him.</p></div>
<p class="wp-caption-dt">And Lastly Tonight- Still can&#8217;t believe Pominville got in a fight. . .</p>
<div id="attachment_1705" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-11-copy.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-11-copy.jpg' class='size-full wp-image-1705' width='500' height='500'/></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Tis the Season- Hit Him!I was in the spirit tonight- not exactly the holiday spirit- but it was a fun game to watch even if we lost. I could be heard screaming- Make &#39;em pay, shoot the Puck, Hit him! Score! This is the Season!</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1702" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 610px"></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Although we had plenty of time before heading to soup supper at church, Cody seemed to be rushed when he got back from New Waverly. Before we left, I told him he had to do five cycles of 3 kisses and 2 deep breaths hoping to change up his pace. We’ve been running and walking in cycles a lot- so Before he started he took several deep breaths and blew kisses in the air. He said he was warming up just like our walking warm-ups. It’s funny how the things you are doing creep into your vocabulary in other parts of your life. </dd>

Pair with ritz crackers and cheese and youâve got the perfect meal for a cold day when you are worn out. Well, at least it did tonight. This simple chili totally hit the spot as we watched the Sabres game.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow!  It was a creative weekend and a creative evening to say the least!  House got cleaned, Christmas Decorations up, Several Creative Projects completed or nearly done, and I got to spend some quality time with Cody.</p>
<p>Here are my next three December Daily Pages:</p>
<p>December 4</p>
<div>
<dl id="attachment_1687"><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-04-copy.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-04-copy.jpg' class='' width='500' height='500'/></a> Main Journaling Reads: So, this is Nine Flags? Really?In some ways in harkens back to the first year we went to Nine Flags Festival. They&#8217;ve really ruined it since that first year though. There wasn&#8217;t much downtown- not even singing or clogging. Since Cody hasn&#8217;t been feeling well we didn&#8217;t stick around for the parade and fireworks. I really wanted to at least see the Nativity but Cody was ready to go. We parked at Pecan Park- over a mile from downtown trying to make sure we could get out of downtown before the parade. The walk along Lanana Creek to get downtown was beautiful. But the warm weather as we walked and antiqued didn&#8217;t seem like Christmas and Nine Flags at all. It&#8217;s suppose to be freezing!</dl>
</div>
<p> December 5</p>
<div>
<dl id="attachment_1688"><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-05-copy.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-05-copy.jpg' class='' width='500' height='500'/></a> Journaling reads: Sunday was all about creating for me. I finished up the decorating here at the house- al except the tree which we still need to get. I announced the opening of Reflective Scrapbooking with itâs free Christmas Kit seen here on these pages. Then, I focused my attention on my door decorating project for the office. Itâs been seven years since I found Digi-Scrapbooking while looking for a secret santa gift for work. I never could have guessed how it has impacted my life or the confidence I would gain from finding my own creativity. Itâs little projects like these items for my door at work that allow me to express myself in ways I may not always get to.</dl>
</div>
<p> December 6th:</p>
<div>
<dl id="attachment_1689"><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-06-copy.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DecemberDaily-2010-12-06-copy.jpg' class='' width='500' height='500'/></a> Journaling Reads: Ok, Iâm super in awe of myself. Love this color scheme, love the look- everytime I looked at my office door or walked into the hallway today, I smiled! Loved hearing folks stop to read too! Other Happenings Today- Regularly Scheduled Weekly Activities- Work, Elderâs Mtg, Leftovers for Lunch with Cody, and Walmart for milk.</dl>
</div>
<p>Then I created these pages to go in between every few pages.  They have some of my favorite Advent/Christmas hymns. . .I&#8217;ll probably create some more. </p>
<p>Come Thou Long Expected Jesus</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I suppose it&#8217;s official.  Cody and I will just have to agree to disagree. . . . like we finally settled the Pete Rose argument- just agreeing to disagree.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve always disagreed on this matter but lately it seems we&#8217;ve spent more time discussing.  It all started about a month ago when Cody was offering to fix me something for breakfast when I didn&#8217;t feel good.   He definetely said the wrong thing . . . . Grilled Cheese.  Why would you offer to make Grilled Cheese for breakfast?</p>
<p>Grilled Cheese is a lunch or, by extension, dinner food. . . But never a breakfast food.  He must be totally crazy.  But, his take is that it&#8217;s breakfast food and that we eat it for other meals just like we might eggs or pancakes.  I beg to differ on this point.  Or that perhaps we eat lunch for breakfast like we do breakfast for dinner.  I cannot and will not agree with him.  Grilled Cheese is not for breakfast.</p>
<p>The truth is just the thought of the lunch food for breakfast just turns my stomach.  I tried to explain it to him- imagine having meatloaf for breakfast or spaghetti or pot roast.  It just doesn&#8217;t sound good, does it?  So that same goes with grilled cheese for breakfast.</p>
<p>Cody&#8217;s perfectly happy with Grilled Cheese for breakfast.  I&#8217;d like to know who tricked him into believing that Grilled Cheese was breakfast food.  I&#8217;d have to assume it was either his mom or dad. . . I need to have a talk with his mom to see whose to blame for their son&#8217;s errant way of thinking.</p>
<p>So, we&#8217;ve had this debate.  We&#8217;ve asked our friends what they thought. . . Still nothing has settled the argument.  We&#8217;ve agreed that we&#8217;ll just have to disagree. . . . But, of course, I still hold out hope I&#8217;ll win him over to my side of the arguement such as in the case of Pete Rose.  Until then, I&#8217;m perfectly happy to make him Grilled Cheese for breakfast (I&#8217;ll admit it&#8217;s super easy and he does like it that way) but please, don&#8217;t ask me if I want Grilled Cheese for breakfast again!</p>
<p>(A Short Aside- I think he fixed eggs for breakfast that morning, but then he fixed me a grilled cheese for dinner- with some leftover bacon we had cooked up.  It was totally delicious.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And Fountain Cokes!  But that doesn&#8217;t start with an &#8220;L&#8221;.</p>
<p>Yesterday&#8217;s lunch was a typical lunch.  Except rather than leftovers we had hot dogs. . . another usual lunch.  For those of you who know Cody, you know he loves his fountain cokes.  So each day, after he walks over to my office and we eat whatever leftovers we have, we make a run up to the corner store.</p>
<p>Most days, we have time to kill before our lunch hour is over.  The most common activity. . . . wandering Lowe&#8217;s.  We go to Lowe&#8217;s just to wander at least three times a week.  We really don&#8217;t have too many other choices.  </p>
<p>You never know what we might look at.  Well, except that we almost always go by the mis-matched paint.  Sometimes we might look at appliances so we&#8217;ll be prepared as ours go out.  Sometimes I dream of better ceiling fans.  Quite often, it&#8217;s the PVC pipe. . . where Cody plots a protein feeder.  And if it&#8217;s not the protein feeder, very often it&#8217;s other projects or supplies for the deer lease.  </p>
<p>Yesterday, after looking at the storage stuff, the metal for my craft room, and paint, it was Tool World.  It started off looking at sanders (which we actually own one somewhere in the garage) but Cody got off track quickly.  I used my 365 project as an excuse to kill a little time taking pictures.  </p>
<p>And truthfully, I was glad to capture a moment from our everyday typical lunch routine.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I blogged about <a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/2010/01/being-childless-sucks/">how being childless sucks</a> Wednesday, I received several words of encouragement which I did appreciate.  But, I guess what I failed to get across in that post, is that it was just a moment. . . They come, they go.  Sure, being childless hasn&#8217;t stopped sucking.  But, it&#8217;s not the only thing in my life.  </p>
<p>I honestly didn&#8217;t share about that moment when I searched google for those that know me, but rather because I know that there may be others I don&#8217;t know who feel the same way and are looking for something to perhaps validate their feelings or just someone who understands.  <em>(OK, that&#8217;s a really bad run on sentence whith far to many &#8220;thats&#8221; in the beginning, but you know, it&#8217;s a blog not a term paper)</em></p>
<p>You see just because being childless sucks, it doesn&#8217;t mean that life does.  All-in-all, I&#8217;ve got a great life.  A house over my head, a loving husband who truly spoils me, time to be creative, a job, etc.  (Since I just made a long list <a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/2009/12/saying-goodbye-to-2009/">New Year&#8217;s Eve</a>, I spare you the long version &#8217;cause I have a feeling this post is going to be long enough.)</p>
<p><em>(OK, in proofreading this, this next part is going to seem really off topic and a rambling tangent, I promise I&#8217;ll be bringing it back around.)</em></p>
<p>Last weekend as Cody and I were celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary, we discussed a new class that I want to take.  This morning as I thought about that class, I realized that my hobbies all seem to piggy back on themselves.  Last year, I spent a lot of time learning more about photography and taking pictures.  This year, I&#8217;ve gotten back into scrapbooking.  This new class is about organizing pictures with a scrapbooking purpose (well, that&#8217;s just the surface.)  One of the assignments before the class starts is to go through your digital pics and printed pics and put them in chronological order.  I&#8217;m in luck since my digi pics are all in folders my month and year and named by the date and a sequence that keeps the approximately 16,000 pictures in order. . . not to mention digi pics can be sorted by date/time taken.  But, our printed pics, that&#8217;s another story.  The class talks about not trying to do all your pictures but a portion so that you can learn the process and then repeat with the rest later.  So, I decided to just tackle the years from when Cody and I met until we went digital- Fall Semester 1994-Deer Season 2003. <em>(Another tangent. . . Deer Season, you may be wondering, why I associated that. . . Because I got my first digi camera on the way to the Campwood and I remember taking tons of shots along the 8 hour drive there.  Looking back now, I realize it was purchase and trip that would change my life.)</em></p>
<p>So this week, Cody and I have been sorting those printed pictures.  We really don&#8217;t have that many.  They filled two plastic shoeboxes longwise (aka short side so that the pano shots would fit).  It was so much fun to remember those days.  We really enjoyed looking back.  We were both amazed at how young we look. . . even though we don&#8217;t feel that much older today.  In many ways, despite the things we&#8217;ve gone through, we&#8217;re still like newlyweds or perhaps even those kids in college.  We&#8217;re still like those two lovebirds in those pictures- two lovebirds who got married and watched as their friends got married, two lovebirds who used to eat on the floor in Etoile, two lovebirds who have watched their nephew grow-up, two lovebirds that have seen great vacations, two lovebirds that met in college, moved to Corpus Christi, and came back to that college town.  We&#8217;ve been blessed.  I&#8217;ve been blessed.</p>
<p>And, I realize just how blessed to live in the digital age!  We narrowed that lot of pics down to just a little over one box.  Purging a lot of awful and failed shots, I realized how much I benefit from being able to instantly see my pictures.  Going through the so-so pics, I realized how much easier it is to take advantage of learning photography in a digital world.  Looking at how few pictures there were compared to fewer years of digital, I realized just how glad I am that I don&#8217;t have to pay for film and processing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cody and I were getting alot accomplished today.  We&#8217;d had tunes on while we worked.  At some point, we both ended up in the living room.  I was just beginning to sort and fold socks when Ed Burleson&#8217;s &#8220;Dead Skunk&#8221; came on.  </p>
<p>That&#8217;s probably the first hard thing to explain.  It&#8217;s a song that sticks with you once you&#8217;ve heard- at least if you&#8217;ve driven in Texas.  It&#8217;s a song that I&#8217;ve heard and loved for years.  This year, I downloaded it and finally Cody got to hear the song.  He thought I was nuts but now, when he sees road kill or smells a dead skunk, guess what he begins to sing?  Seriously go look up the song- Ed Burleson, Dead Skunk</p>
<p>So, the song came on.  Cody, for I don&#8217;t know what reason, decided to make a &#8220;squished/ Squat&#8221; sound with his mouth.  There were the socks, right there.  I told him I ought to throw them at him and he told me not to. . . </p>
<p>I spent a few seconds thinking about it but all I could come up with was, &#8220;why not?&#8221;.  So, then we got in a &#8220;food&#8221; fight with socks instead of food.  It was like our favorite Wii game, the snow ball fight- only with socks.  So, there we were throwing our white &#8220;snowballs&#8221; at each other across the living room, scooping them up, and throwing them again.  I told you some things are hard to explain.  </p>
<p>And, since we are working together to get a picture a day this year, of course, we had to document the shenaigans.  When it was all said and done, there were socks all over the living room and into the dining room.  </p>
<p>It&#8217;s not often you have the time to just be this goofy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was several months after Kenny Chesney released his song &#8220;A Lot of Things Different&#8221; before I started painting the rooms in our house.  It&#8217;s something Cody knew I would do eventually and every time we&#8217;d hear this line in the song, he knew I was getting closer to painting.</p>
<blockquote><p>She wanted to paint our bedroom yellow and trim it in blues and greens<br />
But I wouldn&#8217;t let her, it wouldn&#8217;t of hurt nothing</p></blockquote>
<p>I knew what color I wanted for the kitchen and the dining room (or so I thought at the time).  I had picked out a yellow for the kitchen similar to oen we&#8217;d painted my parent&#8217;s sunroom.  I picked out a matching blue for the living room.  I knew I&#8217;d paint the ceilings a couple of shades lighter. </p>
<p>But there was <a href="http://www.olympic.com/pdf/paint/gentle_hint.pdf">this brochure</a> at Lowe&#8217;s that contained this one color.  D61-1 Morning Fog.  I thought I liked it but I really wasn&#8217;t sure.  It wasn&#8217;t a color I&#8217;d have chosen.  It was totally different than any direction I would have chosen.  It kept calling to me.  And, as I would think of painting our bedroom in the color , it was that line of Kenny Chesney&#8217;s song that I&#8217;d hear, &#8220;It wouldn&#8217;t hurt nothing&#8221;. </p>
<p>In the end, I went for it and have never been more happy that I tried something different.  I love the color.  It takes on a different hue in different lights.  It&#8217;s bright yet calming.  I&#8217;ve since repainted my kitchen D61-1, Morning Fog, and re-painted my living room a matching color (smoke screen) from that same brochure.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always said that when, if ever, we get our next house, which we&#8217;d plan on building, the entire house would be D61-1, Morning Fog.  And recently, I&#8217;ve come to realize that I have no idea why I have to wait on some pipe dream to have the walls in my home be D61-1, Morning Fog.  &#8220;It wouldn&#8217;t hurt nothing.&#8221;</p>
<p>When we got the trailer at the deer lease and I looked at all the old paneling, how dark it was inside, and the different surfaces, I knew immediately, I&#8217;d be painting the interior D61-1, Morning Fog.  Cody knew, &#8220;It wouldn&#8217;t hurt nothing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Next, D61-1 will be making further appearances in my home.  I should have enough paint leftover from the trailer to paint both of our bathrooms in Morning Fog.  After I finish that painting and recover from the fun that is painting, I&#8217;ll be starting on the living room and the hallway. </p>
<p>I love D61-1, Morning Fog.  It hasn&#8217;t hurt nothing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We were just <a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/2009/08/squeezing-in-photography-on-our-trip-down-south/">down there in July</a>.  But when Coralyn told us that her brother passed away, we knew we&#8217;d make another trip down to Corpus Christi.  Cody says it totally messed up his average since before July, it had been a really long time since we were there.   It didn&#8217;t matter as we knew we needed to be there.</p>
<p>Since I&#8217;ve become a Hotwire fan, I checked out Hotwire and found I could get a 4-star hotel in the waterside area for less than I could get a hotel out by him mom.  (So far, I&#8217;ve only hotwired 4-stars because you don&#8217;t know what hotel you&#8217;re getting and 3-stars can be a lot of different things.)  And most of our activities would be in town so the htoel would be closer.  I checked out what 4-stars were in Corpus and thought we would be across from the seawall.  NOT! We were across the Harbor Bridge- Yipee!  (And on the beach, but we&#8217;re not beach folks).  Cody did take it better than I thought he would- probably helped that we&#8217;d stayed at the hotel, under different ownership, over 10 years ago.  We had a great room and I always enjoy watching the ships and the tugs come in and out of the port. </p>
<p>I counted 13 tugboats while I was there.  (Much fewer than I remember seeing in the past)</p>

<p>Our room was not directly overlooking the beach. . . Instead, we had a bit of an angled view- of the beach, the <a href="http://www.usslexington.com/">Lady Lex</a>, the Corpus Skyline, the Harbor Bridge, and the Refineries.  Our balcony was excellant for some night shooting.</p>

<p>We had a chance to catch up with Cody&#8217;s cousins and that was really nice.  The last time we saw his second cousins, the oldest was 1. . . now 10!  And there were three we&#8217;d never met.  We also learned that their dad, Cody&#8217;s uncle, wanted to be in Coralyn&#8217;s wedding that he and his wife had a second wedding in a Catholic church.  (And that their mom had to convert from Baptist to Catholisism to do it.)  I barely knew his uncle but heard some great stories.</p>
<p>We also spent one late night catching up with some friends we hadn&#8217;t seen in years!  That was lots of fun. . . and it was another chance to see how quickly kids and families grow.</p>
<p>We managed to squeeze in some time for the <a href="http://www.texasstateaquarium.org/">Aquarium</a>.  Literally, we had 1.5 hours Saturday, so we made a run for it. . . OK we walked.  One of the things that stuck out with us was how hot and humid it was.  And windy.  I remember the wind, but neither of us really remembered it being that nasty hot and sticky. . . in October none the less.  On our walk to the aquarium from the hotel, this is what Cody&#8217;s hair looked like.</p>

<p>On our way to the aquarium we really worked hard to keep the sand out of our shoes.  We really aren&#8217;t folks that enjoy sand. . . though we did take one walk along this beach.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/wpid1326-20091003-DSC_6770.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/wpid1326-20091003-DSC_6770.jpg' class='alignnone size-full wp-image-1327' width='500' height='335'/></a></p>
<p>We wound up getting a membership at the aquarium and snuck in another 1.5 hour trip on Sunday.  We always loved the aquarium.  With two trips and the fact that we had other pics of the aquarium, it was an excellant chance to practice some photography.  And a challenge in some of the darker areas.  The otter exhibit has always been one of my favorites and we spent lots of watching them- even saw a girl drop her cell phone into the otters water.  The otters pounced on it. . . a new toy.  We also arrived both days just in time to see the last dolphin show. </p>

<p>Like the distortion. . . they had a dome thing you where you could stick your head &#8220;into&#8221; the one of the tanks.</p>

<p>The aquarium highlight though happened with about 10 minutes before the aquarium closed in the viewing area underneath the dolphin tank- where they held an impromptu underwater show practice.  Oh my goodness, to see the dolphins interact and their faces.  It was amazing.</p>

<p><em>All of these pics are unedited except for sharpening done when uploading.  We took over 1500 pics which of course have been edited down tremendously but I haven&#8217;t had a chance to even begin editing them. And as you can see by the number of pictures posted here. . . I&#8217;ve had a tough time narrowing down my favorites.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I went from exhausted and trying to catch up from one weekend to a weekend under the weather.  I really want to share these pics from last week but still haven&#8217;t had a chance to do any editing.  So, I&#8217;ll share them SOOC.</p>
<p>Last Wednesday, Cody and I went down the arboretum to get some photo practice in.  Of course, he was his usual persnickity self.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1275-20090923-DSC_5670.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1275-20090923-DSC_5670.jpg' class='alignnone size-full wp-image-1276' width='500' height='335'/></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1277-20090923-DSC_5694.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1277-20090923-DSC_5694.jpg' class='alignnone size-full wp-image-1278' width='500' height='335'/></a></p>
<p>And, it was some time in this moment when he took a picture of me that I&#8217;d had enough.  And so, for whatever silly little thing he did, I punished him- with 100 additional shots of him.  (Mind you it was light hearted)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1279-20090923-DSC_5722.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1279-20090923-DSC_5722.jpg' class='alignnone size-full wp-image-1280' width='500' height='335'/></a></p>
<p>I pretty much let him do his thing while I took pictures of him from different angles and played around with composition.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1281-20090923-DSC_5741.jpg"><img src='http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1281-20090923-DSC_5741.jpg' class='alignnone size-full wp-image-1282' width='500' height='335'/></a></p>
<p>And just for the record, my husband does not have man-boobs.  I know I&#8217;ve posted <a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/2009/04/my-husband-the-crazy-nut-weekend-review-3-of-3/">pictures to the contrary </a>before and I have  no idea what he did with his shirt but I have lots of beautiful shots of him from this shoot with breasts.  So mad at myself for not catching that while I was shooting.  I guess I just need to remember that he&#8217;s like the little boy whose always going to have his shirt untucked and really check out what he&#8217;s got going on.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1286-20090923-DSC_5734.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1287" title="wpid1286-20090923-DSC_5734.jpg" src="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1286-20090923-DSC_5734.jpg" alt="wpid1286-20090923-DSC_5734.jpg" width="402" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>Needless to say, I&#8217;m really glad I had 100 shots to finally get it right.  But, I&#8217;m really happy that I did take the 100 shots.  It was an excellant exercise.  I had to get more creative.  And, this shot, which is one of my favorites, was one of the last ones that I took.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1283-20090923-DSC_5793.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1284" title="wpid1283-20090923-DSC_5793.jpg" src="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1283-20090923-DSC_5793.jpg" alt="wpid1283-20090923-DSC_5793.jpg" width="402" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>And, as you can see, we had fun with it!  Doesn&#8217;t that shot say something about my sweet husband.  Even after sitting for 100 shots, he still looked at me that way.  Or perhaps in his head he was really laughing at me standing on the bench beside him. . . perhaps he needs another 100 shot punishment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today&#8217;s flashback is inspired by Wednesday&#8217;s dinner, my Wednesday blog conversation with my husband, and the mileage we&#8217;ve gotten out of the original incident happened in January.</p>
<p>January 10, 2009</p>
<p>This is the place where I nearly died:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1269-20090110_0238.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1270" title="wpid1269-20090110_0238.jpg" src="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1269-20090110_0238.jpg" alt="wpid1269-20090110_0238.jpg" width="500" height="335" /></a></p>
<p>We were leaving Kansas City and heading to Springfield for the Route 66 leg of the trip.  We were already working to get in a different zone- one of stop where it interests you, eat some local non-chain food, etc.  We were getting hungry when we started seeing these billboards for &#8220;World Famous Tenderloin Sandwich&#8221;.  We saw them over and over again and each time it sounded like a good deal.  So, we drove until we finally got to Smith&#8217;s Restaurant. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1267-20090110_0235.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1268" title="wpid1267-20090110_0235.jpg" src="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1267-20090110_0235.jpg" alt="wpid1267-20090110_0235.jpg" width="500" height="335" /></a></p>
<p>So, we were sitting inside eating.  I blew the wrapper off my straw at Cody like we often do.  He did the same.  Then, we started throwing the wadded up wrapper at each other.  Then my husband started to see his opening. . . I had on a V-Neck shirt. . . that I thought was pretty safe- it was nothing close to revealing.</p>
<p>Field Goal!!!  His arm&#8217;s went up in victory.  He made it.  The wrapper went down my shirt. . .  right between my breasts.  I couldn&#8217;t believe it.</p>
<p>I gasped.  I turned red.  I nearly died of embarrassment.  We hadn&#8217;t even gotten our meal yet.  The restaurant was packed.  I&#8217;m certain someone saw his little act of mischief.  I&#8217;m much more reserved than that.  I could barely show my face.</p>
<p>Tears rolled down my face.  I was laughing so hard. . .not because it was funny. . . because it was embarrasing.  I was in utter shock.</p>
<p>I was never so glad to get out somewhere in my life- and I mean it.  Now, looking back on it, of course, it&#8217;s hilarious.  But at that moment, it was not funny at all- at least to me.  Cody never thought it wasn&#8217;t funny.  He was so proud of himself.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s been warned that he will not live to see another day if he EVER does that again.</p>
<p>Oh, and I almost forgot, the &#8220;World Famous Pork Tenderloin Sandwich&#8221; was very good.</p>
<p>Flash Forward:  Wednesday I experimented with a recipe and we wound up with pork chop sandwiches that reminded us of the pork tenderloin sandwiches we&#8217;d eaten.  Then, when Cody and I were discussing funny things, the incident came up.   Thursday, Cody and I went out to eat.  We once again wound up with wadded straw wrappers.  I had to cover up to make sure that Cody didn&#8217;t do this again.  And, in the end, I won when I got the wrapper down his shirt.  At least until he got home and was able to get it out. </p>
<p>I promise that in however many years we have left together on this earth, he will never live this incident down.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t blogged as much a I would like.  Between the busy times around here lately and rainy weather which can wreak havoc on our internet, I haven&#8217;t been around here much.</p>
<p>And tonight, I&#8217;m coming up blank.  (It&#8217;s the way my morning started as I had one of those &#8220;Nothing&#8221; to wear mornings that I know you women can relate to.)  So, I decided to take the easy way out.  I&#8217;ll use a quiz from the Quiz Printables that I downloaded from Ella Publishing and let my husband provide the blog material tonight.  I&#8217;ll just transcribe and share a few pictures that my nephew took of Cody and I.  (His first paid photography gig.)</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll keep it short because I know he&#8217;ll grow tired of this quickly.  Questions typed. .. now to get his answers.  I&#8217;m not sure what&#8217;s going to come out of his mouth- could be funny, could be sweet, could be sarcastic, could be confused. . . Let&#8217;s see what we get tonight:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1252-20090315-DSC_1147.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1253" title="wpid1252-20090315-DSC_1147.jpg" src="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1252-20090315-DSC_1147.jpg" alt="wpid1252-20090315-DSC_1147.jpg" width="500" height="335" /></a></p>
<p>Me: What&#8217;s the funniest thing I&#8217;ve ever said or done?</p>
<p><em>(Can&#8217;t even describe that look. . . then he shrugs his shoulders. . . I tell him to think and he&#8217;s still thinking. . . could be a long night.)</em></p>
<p>Him: What are you typing?</p>
<p>Me: You&#8217;ll have to wait and read my blog.</p>
<p><em>(According to him, he doesn&#8217;t read my blog. . . bet he reads this one though.)</em></p>
<p>Him: When you, how can I word this properly, so you don&#8217;t knock the ____ out of me.  . . .</p>
<p><em>(Then he recalls something funny he did rather than I did. . . perhaps I&#8217;m not that funny. . .perhaps it&#8217;s the &#8220;funniest&#8221; part that stumps him. . .let&#8217;s try asking it a different way)</em></p>
<p>Me: Name some thing funny that I&#8217;ve done.  What have I done lately that made you laugh?</p>
<p>Him: You burp all the time. . . you get your words backwards- at the time it&#8217;s funny.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1254-20090315-DSC_1150.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1255" title="wpid1254-20090315-DSC_1150.jpg" src="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1254-20090315-DSC_1150.jpg" alt="wpid1254-20090315-DSC_1150.jpg" width="500" height="335" /></a></p>
<p><em>(eek he&#8217;s frustrated already)</em></p>
<p>Me: What&#8217;s one thing you&#8217;ve learned from me?</p>
<p>Him:  Missouri has the correct title for their state as the &#8220;Show Me State&#8221;.</p>
<p><em>(Yes, I suppose I&#8217;ve taught him that- something my Missouri birth gave me.)</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1256-20090315-DSC_1160.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1257" title="wpid1256-20090315-DSC_1160.jpg" src="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1256-20090315-DSC_1160.jpg" alt="wpid1256-20090315-DSC_1160.jpg" width="500" height="335" /></a></p>
<p>Me: If we escaped to an island paradise for one year, what would we take with us?</p>
<p>Him: And it would work?  Either the TV or the Computer.  I would say the TV and you would say the computer.</p>
<p>(He&#8217;s all kind of worried about whether or not they would work.  LOL!)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1258-20090315-DSC_1162.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1259" title="wpid1258-20090315-DSC_1162.jpg" src="http://www.ordinarydetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/wpid1258-20090315-DSC_1162.jpg" alt="wpid1258-20090315-DSC_1162.jpg" width="500" height="335" /></a></p>
<p>Me: What&#8217;s the nicest thing I&#8217;ve ever done for you?</p>
<p><em>(He rolls his eyes, sighs, throws his hands up in the air and puts his head back.  By now, he&#8217;s frustrated even me.  Good thing we love each other so much.)</em></p>
<p>Him: Brought me breakfast in bread.</p>
<p>Him: Do I have any I need to go back and answer.</p>
<p>Me: No, this is not a pop quiz.  It&#8217;s just a &#8220;what would you answer&#8221;</p>
<p>Him: Funniest moment. . . when you dogged on me at my parent&#8217;s house about how I was never going to ask you to marry me when I had the ring with me the whole time.</p>
<p><em>(He proposed to me that weekend.)</em></p>
<p>Him: Are you done with me now?  I have to pack for my hunting trip.</p>
<p><em>(He walks back through the living room.)</em></p>
<p>Me: I can&#8217;t believe that I&#8217;m going to post that I burp a lot.</p>
<p>Him: You don&#8217;t have to put that.</p>
<p>Me: No, that&#8217;s what you answered.</p>
<p>Him: That was just an example of what to put.</p>
<p><em>(Lately, I have burped a lot.  And as embarrassing as that has been, it&#8217;s really embarrassing posting that now. . . )</em></p>
<p>Me: YES!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The college &#8220;kids&#8221; are back in town.  And you know what that means- Walmart and the traffic in town are crazy.  But, for Cody and I, it means something else.  Today is the 15 year anniversary of the date we met.  I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ve told you this or not. . . It was Chemistry.  Chemistry was my very first college class and the first of the semester.  Technically, it was after chemistry lab that evening that my lab partner, Lane, introduced Cody and I. </p>
<p>Five years ago, I did a little album celebrating the 10 year anniversary of this date.  These are a few of the layouts from that album.  The first one features the area where we walked that first night- and many, many other times over the course of our lives.  The second one includes the Chemistry Building and pictures from the Ag Pond when/where Cody proposed.</p>

<p>And looking at these pictures, I realize we were &#8220;kids&#8221; ourselves.  I also remember all the fun we had in those days and realize we still have a lot of fun.  I&#8217;m so glad that God&#8217;s plan for me included Cody in my life.</p>
