Ok, so I think Jack and I both are coming down with the flu. LOTS of people at work have it and now so do we! BLAH!

Day 27-ROCK!

Ok, so these are 2 pics I took of my brother playing in his band Seven. They played a showcase/battle of the bands thing in Austin. These 2 were my favs. :o)

Peace, Love & ROCK!!

Day 26- I think?!

Ok, so I'm buzzing ALOT right now. It's actually 12:18am, I didn't have time to post this earlier. We went to a "game night" with some friends. Had fun, drank, made it home, and now I'm posting on my blog, then going to bed! YEA!!

Day 23-I love the sky!

I'm kinda with Jack, it's hard to post everyday. So don't hate me if I don't. I will really do my best.

Ok, so this was taken this evening. I was standing on the deck in the back yard. I love it when storms are comin' in cuz they always bring the best clouds which in turn makes for the prettiest sunsets! :o)

Day 21- Seth @ the Park!

Ok, so this was at the end of his playing. He wasn't feelin' good.

Day 19-PIZZA, YUM!!!

Ok, so I wasn't real hungry and it was getting a little late to cook anything so we ordered pizza from Double Daves! It is soooo good. Yes, Paul's pic yesterday of the Trader Joes pizza was awesome too, cuz we've had it. But the only pizza we will eat anymore is Papa Johns or Double Daves! :o)

Day 18-Leaves!

Ok, so yes I am getting terrible at posting everyday. I've been lazy the last few days, and very tired because we've been going to work lik 5 or 6, yes that is AM! lol So anyways, I was out taking pics of the sunset from the deck, and I did not like any of them. I looked down and thought, man we need to sweep these damn leaves off the deck. That moment passed very quickly, so with camera in hand, I took pics of the leaves! I didn't take very many mind you, because it's been in the 30's during the day here all week! Hope ya like it.

Peace, Love & Cold weather!

Day 15-Suspension Bridge

Ok, so I did not take this pic today (I took it Sat.) so don't hate me. I love this picture of the infamous Waco Suspension Bridge. There are more on my flickr page(check out the link on Day14)!

Day 14-Shower curtain meme!

Ok, so I decided to join the "theme" of the whole shower curtain thing. Also, I said I'd add more pics to my flickr page, so here is the link!

Day 13-Fun with photography!

Ok so I know I didn't post a pic yesterday, but I have lots of pics to add to flickr so I'll post that link later. Here's a pic we took today at the Waco Suspension Bridge. I love the "fisheye" effect. Anthony bought this fish-eye adapter on ebay for like $40. Well worth it in my opinion!

Day 11-DEER!!!

Ok, so, this is my 3rd damn attempt at posting this blog!!! ARRGGGHHHH!!!! Anyways, Anthony and I went riding today and we actually took our cameras this time. YEA!! So anyways I saw what could be a really good picture along the river when I looked up across the river and saw DEER!!! They were coming from the woods on the left (in the pics) and going into the woods on the right. It was pretty cool. So I took a couple of pics, that was all I could get because it was hard to stop and take pics on the trail we were on. I totally got a good workout today. Here is the map of the park. We were all the way on the right where it says Mcc Marina (that's where we started), then rode the "River Trail" to "Rhino" to "Hale Bop" (which should be called HELL bop! NEWAYS, then came out at the top and wound up at Lovers Leap, so we rode the road to the "Twin Bridges" trail cuz we knew that would lead us back to the "river trail" then we could get back to the Mcc Marina, cuz at this point it was really getting dark. It was pretty much completely dark when we got back to the truck. Kinda Scary, but we did it!

If you look at the left side of the map and follow "river trail" we usually ride that all the way towards the Mcc Marina. It's a really good workout!

Peace, Love & Muscle aches!

Day 10-It's BACK on!!!

My FAVORITE show is back on, after a LONG winter of being replaced by some very meteocre shows. Gotta go, gotta watch it without distractions! oh and yes I took this pic!

Peace, Love & T.V.

Day 9- Bored

Ok, so I was trying to take pics of water drops but that didn't work out. I need a macro lens, and WANT a macro lens to do that! lol So since Tucker is always photogenic AND the prettiest cat in the world, I took pics of him. So be prepared to see LOTS of pics of him throughout the year!

Peace, Love & Kitty Cats!

Day 8- Yep, it's a Monday!

Well as always it was another stressful day at ol Wally world. I hate my job, well I don't hate the job, I hate the managers and all the changes that have been made recently. If they would just let us do our job then everything would be fine.

But anyways, I was sittin' here looking around at what I could take a pic of, and I see my candles that were a gift from Arielle's parents, and thinking, WOW that's it.
SERENITY!

Peace, Love & Serenity

Day 7-What a day!!!

Where to start....lol. Ok, I'll start with the pic, it was taken today at my dad's while we were painting his living room.

Well after that, Anthony, Arielle, Blake and I went to Cameron Park to ride the trails again. Everything was going fine, we got almost to the end of the longest trail when my bike gears or something stripped out and from then on when I would pedal it wouldn't go anywhere. So, here we are sitting at the end of the trails, with busted bike #1 wondering where the hell we are, when it dawned on me...we are at MCC campus by the frickin' baseball fields!!! Why the hell would you end the trails not in Cameron Park...makes NO sense! So by this point it's pretty hot outside, so here we go through the campus parking lots, me walking the whole way, up hills and stuff. Well we decided to go back the way we drove there, down several BUSY streets, but we found a shortcut road, which would have been fine but it was 5 mph & there were speed bumps, on a residential road...weird...anyways, by this point I was on Arielle's bike, she was on tony's, and he was on mine...just coasting. So by the time I walked up the hills on that road (I was walking because the hills were WAY too steep to ride) I thought I was dying, we didn't take any water with us..dumb I know. Anyways, I see the H-E-B, and said why dont we go stop there and get some water, well on the way there, Blake ran across a crack pipe laying in the middle of the road! lol Crazy I know, but it gets better. So as we're going to HEB the boys stop a car and ask them which is the best way back to Cameron Park, and the happened to point down the road beside HEB, so we decided to take that way. Well on our way down this road (keep in mind Anthony is still coasting on my bike, and cannot pedal anywhere)...Anthony gets chased by 2 dogs, one of them being a pit bull. So I automatically start freaking out and stop because I don't know what to do. As I watch him coasting down this hill with dogs biting at him, he almost falls of the bike and comes to a complete stop because, yet again...he can't pedal! lol So Arielle and I decide to start riding where he and Blake are going and PRAY to god the dogs won't bother us. Well we start going and all of a sudden... a loud BOOM, sounded like a gun shot....we were super scared and didn't know what happened, so we stopped AGAIN, and I discovered that the back tire on the bike I was riding BLEW OUT!!!! JESUS could this day get any worse!! It was so loud a girl came out of her house and asked if we were ok! LOL We were laughing SO hard at that point, all the while, Tony's fending off the dogs. So we start walking again, now with 2 bum bikes, I picked up some rocks because we had to walk past the dogs, and I wanted to be protected! lol anyways, the dogs did not even look at us...just walked on by..hmm weird. So we finally got to a known part of the park and Blake and I stayed back while Anthony and Arielle rode to get the truck on the only 2 good bikes left! lol

WOW, I'm sorry that was so long. But I don't know how to make it short without leaving stuff out! So that was my day!

Peace, Love & Crappy Bikes!

Day 6-Angel Baby

Ok, so this is Seth Grayson Hogan. He is such a CUTIE and loves me and Jack as much as we love him! He is 3, and OMG such a 3 year old! lol Everything is "why", it changed to that literally on his 3rd birthday recently.

This also was not my "original" photo I was going to use, but with all the media cards we have, I could not find the one that has the pic I wanted to use!

Peace, Love & Happiness

Day 5-Me & Arielle

Yes I know I was supposed to post this yesterday but I was really tired. Anthony, Arielle & I rode our bikes at Cameron Park for 3 1/2 miles down trails and up walked up trails because it was too steep. We got a GREAT workout. YEA!!

Peace, Love & Happy Trails

Day 4-My ENEMY!!!!

Ok, so I know this pic probably sucks but I don't care. It is my arch enemy, with "it" being exercise!! I HATE IT! I know that it needs to be done though, for my health, and happiness, & if I'm getting married in 8 months!! ARRGGHHHH!!! lol OH wait, he has to ask me first! ;o)

Peace, Love & Healthy bodies!
