Talk To Us Tuesday ~ Anemic Monday



My day has gone nothing like I planned, I so hate days like this! It's Monday {for another minute} which means it's cleaning day, sheet day, laundry day, grocery shopping day, blogging for TTUT day and TV with Babe night. I have gotten a lot done but only a few things on my Monday to-do list. I guess I can still count it as a productive day but it's definitely on the anemic side, I much prefer my Mondays to be beefy and full of steroids!


All of that to say that I have nothing prepared for TTUT. I need to start stepping things up or my cohostess with the mostest IA  is going to kick my butt to the curb!


I did manage to log onto my computer {for non softball stuff} for about 5 minutes today and went to visit my sweet friend Janette. She's participating in a photo challenge that looks like fun and like something I can actually do, unlike the 365 day challenge I took last year and failed miserably at. If you want to learn more about the challenge go visit Paper Coterie for all of the details. 


I'll be doing my best to keep up and will be posting my pictures as close to daily as I can on Twitter and Instagram, feel free to cheer me on I'm Seriously Shawn in both places. I will also be posting the pictures here once a week, 4 posts seem much more doable than 30, remember I'm lazy!


Day 1- My Home: 


We bought our house almost 10 years ago, where has the time gone? I didn't get a chance to take a picture of my house during daylight so I scanned our new address card, cheating and not off to a very good start I know but like I said nothing has gone as planned today. The house looks a little different today than it did when this sketch was made, I'll do my best to take another picture and post it next week.



Day 2- My Handwriting:

My handwriting changes all of the time. I write different with a pencil than I do a pen, the amount of time I have or coffee I drank will also affect it, but I like it for the most part. Honestly, I think it's getting worse from lack of use, my fingers are more accustomed to a keyboard and the touch screen of my cell phone than they are to a pen.

Day 3- My Smile:


I'm not a fan of my smile, it's a little crooked, being asymmetrical drives me batty!  I much prefer to smile with my eyes and voice than I do with my mouth but I have yet to be successful with that, when your eyes smile your mouth has no choice but to follow.

I'll be working on the rest of this challenge, it's an "all about me" challenge and since I'm just a wee bit narcissistic I think I'm going to do just fine.


You are linking up right? Don't make me want to punch you in the throat! Linking up with IA and I is super easy because THERE'S NO RULES! Grab our cute button, don't grab our button we don't care we just wanna talk! I'll be waiting...


Seriously Shawn

yay, I'm glad you're playing along with the photo challenge. I am so in love with your house, even if it's just a sketch of it. WOW!

I know those days-hope tomorrow is a better one!

Amanda said...

I dislike my handwriting. Most of my scrapbook stuff goes without journaling because I hate it so lol

Stacie said...

If it makes you feel any better, Monday pretty much kicked my butt, too. I am so glad it only comes once a week!

becca said...

you have a beautiful smile and gorgeous handwriting

allstarme said...

I could never have Monday as laundry day; it would never get done! I do Wednesday and Sunday and that is hard enough. ;)

Stacy Uncorked said...

I need to hand-write things more often - like you, it's gotten a bit rusty since I tend to type like a madwoman more often than not. ;)

Your smile is absolutely gorgeous - and the fact that it's oh so very slightly crooked makes it more so. :)

Reminds me I have to tackle the laundry today.

Love your smile :)

Connie Weiss said...

I got very little done yesterday too. But I really just wanted to sit and be in my apartment after being gone for 9 days.

The list of things that I need to do, should do and want to do is much too long!! I need to take a day off of work just to think about all of it and another day to prepare for it and then another day to start it and another to give up. That's how it works for me. So glad you're doing the challenge-- its really easy when you've got instagram and your phone handy! :)

Impulsive Addict said...

You've got a great smile, Boo! However, your handwriting is NOT always that pretty and neat. I'm only saying this because I love you.

Your house is gorgeous! I picked it out before we even pulled into your drive. I believe the quote was "Wow...look at that spread!" HAHAHA!

I NEED to do the challenge. I failed March's very early on. Maybe I will....after I finish my dirty dirty book!

Still waiting on the video that never uploaded...

That sketch of your house is amazing! I can't wait to see an actual photo.
My handwriting is wonky sometimes, but it depends on how quickly I'm writing. I do try to make it neat as I'm teaching Indy (we homeschool) how to write in cursive this year. He's learning with a fountain pen (we kick it old school, yo) and sadly has better penmanship than I do sometimes.
Your smile is lovely. I have yet to master the smile with my eyes thing. I'm not even sure it's real.

VandyJ said...

My handwriting is a combination of cursive and printing that just flows. I spent four years working i9n a doctors office and had to hand write the patient notes for him and got a lot of writing in. It's not pretty, but it works.
I like yours though. Even if Impulsive says it doesn't always look like that.
I'm not a huge fan of my smile, but I have found that using it makes a lot of situations easier.

Boobies said...

I've decided I want to come live with you. I'm just trying to make out your address. :)

Your smile is GORGEOUS!! Are you kidding me? Loves!

I'll have to go check out Janette's photo challenge now.

XOXO

Nadine Hightower said...

no punch in the throat here!

I did one of those a letter every day for 30 days but It took me a year... well more than a year. I still need to do the last letter.
Doh!!

Nicole said...

Wow, you could possibly almost switch our handwriting out for each others... lol. I write a lot like you do :)

And an asymmetrical smile? I don't see it, but ok :)

Emmy said...

I am not a big fan of my smile but it is the eyes part I don't like as I have one eye that gets all squinty. Sigh

Your house is so beautiful- not just from the drawing but from the different pics you have posted different times.

MiMi said...

My handwriting is crazy, you'd never know one page to the next was the same person. :)

Xazmin said...

I LOVE your smile!

And I'm diggin' the handwriting too. Mine also changes a lot - but it's not nearly as pretty as yours!
