PICTURE THIS!
PICTURE THIS
I love photos. I collect picture frames and love grouping them around my house, filling them with my favorite photos of special times. Loving photos is a bit of problem in this digital age because as fun as it is to look at pics on the computer, I prefer holding the photos in my hands. Flipping through actual photo albums. Even though we have a nice digital camera, I've still kept a cheap disposal camera at the ready. Once I filled it up, I'd pop over to Costco and an hour later I could look through my pictures.
Not so much nowadays. First of all, I now live an hour and a half away from the nearest Costco (this kills me, people—KILLS ME!). Not only that, but my Costco no longer develops photos! Horrors! They'll only print from digital files–not film. Of course I can get my film developed at the local drug store, but it costs about three times the amount Costco used to charge.
Anyway, the point is, I love having photos around my house and I decided to share a few of my personal favorites with my Whine Sisters. This one is my all-time favorite picture of my husband and son.
I call it I'm Too Damn Tired To Put On My Pants. My son, who will turn 21 in July, was about a month old here. Anyone who's ever had a baby knows the state of utter exhaustion you hit at about one month in. You're just so tired you can barely remember to swallow your own saliva. And when the kid finally goes to sleep, all you can do is collapse and stare into space and wonder how on earth you can love something that exhausts you so much.
This is another fave pic of my son because it just makes me laugh. We were at a BBQ at my sister-in-law's house and she had this funny game where you put that silly hat on your head. It had Velcro strips on it, and the object of the game was to toss the Nerf balls at the person's head and try to get as many points as possible. 
I'd just scored some points on my kid's head there–heh, heh, heh. And he doesn't look too happy about it–heh, heh, heh. I also loved that little shirt he wore–very handy in case anyone forgot his name.
Next up are two of my favorite photos of my mom and dad. I love the one of them on their boat. They look very happy and relaxed and we had a lovely time that day.
And this pic was taken at their 50th wedding celebration in 2009. We bought them those goofy 5O glasses 'cause, well, that's just how we roll in my family!
Happy 50th Mom and Dad!
Last but not least is this photo taken last fall of me and Joe at our neighborhood party to kick off the SEC football season.
Go Dawgs!
We decorated our golf cart (and ourselves–please note my Bulldog purse!) to show our love for the University of Georgia. We had a great time and loved those banners so much, they're still on the golf cart! (and no, we don't golf—we just ride around the neighborhood in the golf cart, LOL! Because in case you can't tell, we're pretty silly!)
So tell me—do you keep lots of framed photos around your house? Just a few? What are they pictures of? What's your all-time favorite photo? Are your photos organized or in a big box that you plan to organize "someday"? Or are you completely digitized and all your pics are now on your computer? Have you ever made one of those photo scrapbooks? If so, how did it turn out?
