This is an easy one...

One mom at a time...

Day 23 - A picture of your favorite book

Ha Ha, that is a great one!

I have the attention span of a Knat and I don't read books...

So my favorite book is a SCRAPBOOK!



This was our first Alpha Chapter Scrapbook...

Day 22 - A picture of something you wish you were better at

Okay, so it is Saturday, and this is Thursday's Blog Day... so I didn't make the challenge, but I am going to continue...

I like to go to the Bowling Alley, I like the smell. I know that is strange, but it reminds me of High School. Every Thursday was Bowling day at school. We would load buses and got to the local bowling alley...

Day 21 - A picture of something you wish you could forget

This is a hard one...

It would have to be when my children are in pain.

I really don't have a picture of their injuries...

So just think about a time when you were injured.

Day 20 - A picture of somewhere you'd love to travel

I would love to travel to Australia... to see where Rick Springfield was born and grew up as Rick Springthrope...

Day 19 - A picture and a letter

A picture...

of my sisters and I participating in our Ritual of Jewels...



A letter...

Of the Alphabet? I love the letter "V", and it is Valentine's Day...

Day 18 - A picture of your biggest insecurity

I am not really sure how to answer this one...

I will say Failure...

I have a fear of failing..... My personality doesn't allow it, but it is a fear. I don't like to let people down, I want everyone to get along and I can't always control it.

Day 17 - A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently

Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most

Hmmm,

I would have to say that since I have moved to Houma, it is Gia Holekamp, my Sister in Alpha and BFF...

She is the person I can pick up the phone and say help, and she is right there saying,

"What do ya need me to do? "or "How can I help?"

Day 08 - A picture that makes you laugh

Back in 2007, Eleanor loved to get trapped... here she is trapped in the handle of a suitcase...

Day 07 - A picture of your most treasured item

This is a hard one...

A person can't be an "item", so it has to be something "Tangible"...

Mary Alice on Ace of Cakes. She is the office manager, answers all of the calls and is Duff's best friend... how cool would that be!

Favorite Memory...

My mom and I, at the annual Mother Daughter breakfast at SJM High School. This was my Senior Year and I had an EGG to take care of... so "he" had to do everything with me...

Favorite Show... Oh no, I can't pick just one... ever...

General Hospital and Charlie's Angels are my top 2...

Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest

This day is a hard one, when I first thought of who I have been "closest" with the longest,

Joel my husband, came to mind.
We have dated since 1993, married since 1996 and that is half of his adult life.

The second person that came to mind is Marla, she and I have been friends since 1984, our Freshman year of High School at St. James Major.

Then I thought of my dad, Mike Combe, he has known me the longest.



So I will add three Pictures to this post...

Day 1- 10 Facts about me and my first picture...
