Flood 1-7-2007

Well, I did get a pic taken before midnight for my 7th PAD, and I have my pic taken for the 8th also, however, I was unable to upload them and I have to leave for work here pretty quickly.  The reason that I didn’t get them uploaded is because we were Evacuated from our Apt last night due to flooding.  The Puyallup River which is about a mile from us crested over the levies and they were afraid that the levies were gonna break and if that happen they estimated that Fife, (where I live and work) would be under 8 ft of water.  I got the call at work that they were evacuating residences, and I couldn’t get ahold of Marc, so I told my boss that I needed to go home to secure our apt.  Well, by the time we had everything unplugged and packed up to go, fire trucks were coming through the apt complexes saying to evacuate.  So, I called work and told them I wasn’t coming back, (basically I couldn’t get back, as roads were in huge traffic jams and roads were closed.  The apt complex just over the fence from us was already flooded to floor boards of vehicles.  We took both our vehicles and headed for higher ground and a nice warm motel room, where we proceeded to order Chinese Take out and a few wine coolers…yep roughing it!!!  So while I had our puters I just never got around to getting them uploaded and I am giving me that!!!  I will update tomorrow with the 7th, 8th and 9th’s PAD then.  and yes the 7th and 8th will be some pics that hopefully came out ok, it was pretty dark out, of the flood!!! 

PAD January 6, 2009

Well, I have 5 more minutes before I have to rush out the door, and I almost forgot to take my pic…eek…so this is a really quick set up and pic taken!!!  It is of all the tri pods we will take on the Rock Boat IX.  We have Marc’s Big Sony one, his small Sony one, we have my Zila Pod and a cheap small one for my point and shoot.  Why so many you ask…well each venue is different, don’t know if we will have a good spot to put the table ones…so better prepared than not, and last year one of ours broke … eek!!!

 

How many tripods did the Rock Boaters need!!??!!

ALOT!!!!

PAD January 05, 2009

Day 5 of the PAD project!!! YAY...I remembered to do this before I went to work cause who knows what time I will be home and it might be after midnight so I didn't want to miss a day so soon!!! As many know, Marc and I have made a little tradition of going on the Rock Boat every year and we leave in just 10 days ... EEK...not sure I will be ready so much to do soooo little time!!! Well, this year we want to go snorkeling and since I wear glasses, and glasses and snorkel mask don't match, Marc purchased me a snorkel mask that has my prescription in it!!! We went to a local dive store and figured out exactly what I needed, and while theirs were twice...yep...twice the price including shipping, we went on the net and ordered it...well then he said you need a breathing snorkel thingy...so he went to the dive shop to price and get some ideals of what would work good, and the best was like 40 some bucks, medium price was in the 30 range and cheapest was still like 27 bucks...so online again and we found the medium price one for 8 bucks....yep 8 bucks, and while I want businesses to stay in business, especially in todays economy, I also don't want to be gouged!!! So Marc bought me the 8 buck one I think he did pay a little shipping and handling...but not 20 dollars worth!!! So here is my PAD for today:

Snorkel Mask & Breathing Thingy for the

Rock Boat IX

ADSR 4 ~ Ready Set Go!!!

And we are off!!! We had our first challenge given out early this morning at midnight and Amber and I worked on getting ours done and we did it...actually Amber finished before me, but waited so we could upload them together into the site as Team 31!!! YAY Scrappy Chicks!!! Check out our Scrappy Chicks Blog to see our LO's or go over to NDISB and check them out!!! I just loved Amber's...she scrapped about halloween with a pic of her 3 boys walking down the street with Jerrod pulling her littlest one in a wagon and you gotta love that cute little elephant butt!!! She also put a small pic of each of their faces, and did an awesome job with her tears and her journaling...get this she made her journaling like a spider web and it's glitter ... just way cool!!! Her title is also glitter...she is just sooo talented!!! My train of thought everytime I thought of the challenge, which was to tear a photo in three, was separation and that brought me to my divorce, so for symbolic reasoning I took an old pic of our home we owned and tore it in three and proceeded from there and then added some pretty private journaling on it, so I didn't put it in the write up. While it didn't say anything that was outrageous, it was just private. The site that challenged us (Hummie's World) had an awesome tutorial on paper tearing, go check it out, it's really cool!!!
