On the way to Chemistry class...

2/26/08 School

My thermose (which I have no idea how to spell 0_o) that I drink tea out of almost everyday...sideways...XD

3/23/08 Happy Easter!



We colored eggs but did not hide them. Boy, was it MESSY! XD

3/22/08 Strange Name



This was by a restaurant called 'The Egg and I' that we parked by while going to a play...

3/21-22/08 Spring Break



I only got two half days of spring break, when I was isolated from school anyways, at a friends house. This is my little 'nephew', Jake, my cat's brother.



And here's my friend and I. We had about 200 of these goofy pictures. (she's the one under the blanket. Forgot to ask permission to post a pic of her so I used this one)

3/17/08 Palm Branch



In honor of Palm Sunday on...well, Sunday!

3/16/08 Cheerio!



They were stale so I left them for the birds. XD

3/15/08 Yellow Light



On this day, we saw Oliver Twist for the second time and Pride and Prejudice done by the seniors at a private school. On the way home I had forgotten that I hadn't taken a picture that day, so I quick snapped a shot of this yellow light - forgetting that I had the camera set on close-up. So, blurry it is...

3/14/08 Frog Prince



Um...yeah. This was the only imaginative thing to capture on this day XD

3/13/08 Raindrops



It rained! Finally! I had lots of good pictures on this day, but this picture I just HAD to post... *looks wistfully at the snow outside*

3/2/08 Book of the Month - February



I chose Pride and Prejudice as my book of the month for February because...well, I loved it so much! I know the story practically by heart from seeing the movies so many times, so reading it was all familiar to me. Definetly on my favorites list.

3/1/08 Mom's Keys

2/29/08 A Long Day



'Twas a long day. We went to the Mall of America and rode on the Pepsi roller coaster and the log ride in what used to be called Camp Snoopy. Now it's owned by Nickelodian, called "Nickelodian Universe'. *sighs* So sad...

I couldn't bear to capture the saddening orange and blue posters, (and forgot to, anyhow *whistle*) so here's a picture of after we came home and relaxed. XD

2/28/08 II, Cinnibons



Couldn't help doing two for this date. First we made cookies, then went to the mall! I bought two soundtracks: Titanic, and Back to Titanic. Even though I don't really like the sappy movie (and has only seen it once...not even the whole thing) I adore the music. Now, I think I listen to it almost every day. Can't wait to get the piano book so I can play 'The Portrait' from Back to Titanic...

Also, there's this other track on the same disc called 'An Irish Party In Third Class' that's sooo fun! We played it in orchastra once and even had Irish dancers come. :D

2/28/08 Cookie Dough



XD Tastes good just like that... :oops:

2/27/08 Blue Skies and Lamp posts

2/26/08 Surprise!



My friend's sixteenth. We sure surprised her.

2/23/08 Taste the Rainbow



Skittles from Chicago! :D

I'm Still Here!!

Don't panic! I've not abandoned this blog. We've only had computer problems, preventing me from uploading, and camera problems, preventing me from taking pictures! It's all square now: I have a new camera and the computer's fixed. Now I just need to find time to upload these many, many great pictures. I'll try and go slow. XD

~Shae, your friendly photographer

2/22/08 Antique Globe



I couldn't get the light to stop reflecting.

2/20/08 The Lunar Eclipse



LOL My attempt at capturing it...boy, do I need a new camera.

2/19/08 Nothing Like A Snickers Bar



I was sick for 3 days. But I finally got around to taking a picture of one of my birthday presents.

2/16/08 Acquire the Fire, Day 2



It was super hard to get good pictures of two of my favorite bands who played there. The bright lights didn't help.

2/15/08 Acquire the Fire



This is an awesome Christian youth conference that I've been going to for 3 years now. My sister also went this year, where the theme was Let Your Voice Be Heard.

2/13/08 Happy Birthday to Me! (Sweet Sixteen)



Too bad there are no postable pictures. I took too many on the 8th anyways. Ahh, here's one from Sunday that will suffice. My strawberry/chocolate birthday cake.

2/11/08 Meet T.J.



Our newest and youngest family member.

2/10/08 Chicago's Famous Skyline



After visiting the Planetarium before our drive back home.

2/8/08 The Art Institute



I loved this lion. He reminded me of Aslan...

Alas, I cannot show you everything...I took literally dozens of pictures of famous paintings and more. Recognize this one? There were also a good number of Monet's!

2/8/08 Chicago!



I'm having the hardest time choosing pictures for this date. We took none on the 9th, so I'm posting extra. Also because I know I'm bound to miss days later this month *oops* Here's the first bits of Chicago after getting off the "L" train.

All I did was snap pictures right here, on the way to the Art Institute. Ooh! To the right, you can see the Sears Tower peeking through two buildings, I think.

2/8/08 In The Wardrobe...



You'd never believe it! This is C.S. Lewis's wardrobe - the very one that inspired his Chronicles of Narnia. It's now at the Wade Center in Wheaton, IL where I stayed. XD We were absolutely giddy.
