Wordless Wednesday - Soak it up!

It has finally arrived.  Hallelujah!

{this makes me smile HUGE!}

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

just being TRENDY, that's all....

Do you remember this post?  My Layla and the wind in her hair.  Yeah, well, the Trendy Treehouse thought I my picture was worthy enough to be called a WINNER!!!  Thanks. 

  

And since we are on the subject of trendy....

trendy adj \ˈtren-dē\

1: very fashionable : up-to-date

 

I see that the main theme and trend around the blogosphere today is that it is the FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!  Whoo hooo...

Ummmm.  It's been 90+ degrees in Houston, Texas since the 1st day of March.  Maybe even February.  So excuse me while I do not celebrate.

But I won't be a complete stick in the mud.  Here are some images that make me long to be near a pool.  By a beach.  Sun rays beaming.  Tunes a streaming.  Yeah....you can take me there!

Summer is kind of like the ultimate one-night stand: hot as hell, totally thrilling, and gone before you know it.

So cheers to you - First Day of Summer!  I hope you feel welcome....you sure have already worn it out!

crazy Meli

Am I completely, totally and utterly crazy that the above GOOGLE design is my favorite Google design of all time?!?

It is SO me.  It is so my life!  Wrapped up into a GOOGLE.

It is beautiful, colorful, manic chaos!  It's...

My Meli Faif Life!

I think it is kinda funny because if I were to "have" a saying....that I use way.too.often.  It would be:

It's a GOOGLE away!

So, I find this totally rad.  And quirky.  And so like me.  Happy Tuesday folks.

Manic Monday - 06.20.11

I should be posting about how Layla "was trying to give myself a haircut" yesterday....

...but instead I am just going to link up with Nicolasa, from {My} Perspective and share this.

{Yeah, she doesn't have some of those curls anymore.}

But all in all.  It definitely could have been much worse.  MUCH WORSE!  However, how does this happen with safety scissors?!?  And right next to me, no less.  Ugh. 

Her head is short 5 tendrils now. 

a partial partaking in a 30 day photo challenge...

Oops!  The White peach Photography 30 day photo challenge is a lot harder than I anticipated!!!  Granted, I started late to begin with, but I was going to try and post everyday and keep up.  But I failed.  However, I still wanna do some of the photo suggestions so I can work on the photog skills....


So with Day 19 being SOMETHING ORANGE

And with Day 20 being BOKEH

I am posting the challenges for today and tomorrow.  Hope I can keep up on Tuesday with Faceless Self Portrait!!!  Hmmmm....

all love!!!

Father's Day.  Today.  The two men in my life that I owe so much gratitude...for what they have provided in my world.  I could never thank you enough.

Dad, I love you.

Richard, thank you for helping in creating the best, most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me.

And a Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there that are still with us and to those that have passed on and are waiting for to welcome us into the next life.  Here's to you all!

And here's to Layla's PaPa.

We never know the love of our parents for us till we have become parents.

Where you can find me...

We will be spending our weekend doing what we do best nowadays....

When the temperature reaches near or above 100 degrees everyday, I am sure you can understand why.  Layla could most definitely be the new spokesbaby for Coppertone.



If ya know what I mean...

Happy weekend loves!!!
