Thank you everyone for all the wonderful and sweet birthday wishes. Even though my flight was delayed, I've had a wonderful time visiting with my aunts, uncle, and cousins. Tomorrow I'm headed for Dad and the wolf!
One of the greatest things is I finally got to meet my cousin's son. He's one year old, and cute as he could possibly be. I took lots of pictures of him playing outside today. He was having so much fun, that I was wishing I had a
camcorder, but I'm happy because think I got some great pictures of him.

I made the acquaintance of this bird (and its mate) last year. YES I DO know that it's the same bird. Whadda ya mean - HOW do I know? Duh! They look the same, they are in the same exact tree, and they TOLD me! THAT's how I know. Geesh ;-)
Anyway - they became my friends last year, and they still remember me. Yes, they do! We even exchanged
unlocked phone numbers.
So... I'm headed away tomorrow... on my birthday. hehe
Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday to me
Happpy Birthday to meeeeeeee
I'm going to see - Dadddddddddyyyyyy!
This is going to do me so much good. With the medical conditions I've been diagnosed with this week, the fact that my vehicle is still not running right, and the fact that this will be my goodbye to my aunt... I NEED to get away from stress for awhile.
For those of you wondering - I should be able to open Camera-Critters this weekend, but I can't guarantee if I'll have my own posts on my blogs. As far as next weekend, I'll need to figure something out.

Looking at the Sky on Friday
http://www.mistysmusings.com/2009/06/looking-at-sky-on-friday_25.html
Have you ever had a wolf pick you up at the airport?
Me neither, but that will be happening for me soon. hehehe
I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait!
I seriously need to get away from stress for awhile.
My vehicle STILL is not running right (didn't know if I was going to make it to work today). So, Hubs has to meet me out here (again) after work so we can take it to the shop (for the third time).
I was diagnosed with an ulcer the other day. Then, they got my blood work this morning and immediately called me to have me come over to get a B12 shot. I guess I'm very B12 deficient. Hmmph. I must admit I don't know much about B12 deficiency, other than it causes fatigue. I just always contributed my fatigue to my life. hehe
So, that's my update for now. I will try to post my Looking at the Sky on Friday this evening, but that might be all the posts I can do for awhile. I'll do my best, that's all I can do.

B12? Are We Playing Bingo?
http://www.mistysmusings.com/2009/06/b12-are-we-playing-bingo.html
I have a confession to make. I'm a technology junkie. Seriously. I walk into an electronics store, and I drool puddles on the floor. I'm sure this doesn't come as a shock to any of you. In fact, I've made this confession before, but I didn't want any new readers to feel left out on knowing me. ;-)
As most of you also know, I live 'in the middle of nowhere'. So, it's not like I can just 'stop by' the local electronics store and drool over their SLR Digital Cameras. There's no electronic store to be found. Therefore, I do my shopping and drooling online. Especially when I find a site like BuyDig.com, who call themselves "The Internet's Digital Superstore". That really grabbed my attention, so I decided to check out their website.
First of all, they offer a very large selection of products. You can purchase everything from flat panel tvs to home and garden items, such as mixers and air purifiers. See - I told ya they have a huge selection of products!
I also like the layout of the site. The main categories are across the top of the page. If you hover over a main category, the list of subcategories becomes available. After choosing a subcategory, even more specific categories open on the left side. So, it is very easy to start with "Digital Imaging" and end up with the specific Nikon D90 in a matter of seconds. You can even follow them on Twitter and Facebook. Add to all of these benefits the fact that their prices are great, and you'll truly feel like you are viewing a superstore.

This week's theme is TAILS - "Summertime memory"
It's always important to make sure your
wings and surroundings are color coordinated. ;-)

As I try to preserve moments with my camera, I like to think I'm 'capturing memories'. I know you will consider me strange, but almost every critter I encounter in nature, creates its own memory with me. I find myself in awe of nature and honored that the critters of nature allow me to experience them.
The Cloud Sulfur butterfly in the photo above definitely made a Summer memory with me. It flew up to me and proceeded to do a 'dance' in front of me. It fluttered around as if it was saying "Look at me! Look at me". So, I did, in fact look intently at the butterfly fluttering in front of me, and I immediately noticed that the pink outlining the butterfly's wings matched the pink of the clover's flowers. However, each time it would land, as soon as I would put the camera to my eye, it would start fluttering around again. I could almost hear it say "Na na na na hehe". So, I chased this butterfly up and down the gravel road, until I FINALLY got the shot I was after. And, in the process, the butterfly and I created a "Summer memory".

Heads or Tails *Summer Memory*
http://www.mistysmusings.com/2009/06/macro-monday-daydreams.html
Have you ever seen the movie The Bucket List? Thanks to my wonderful and thoughtful friend Bear, I received a surprise package which contained this movie. In the movie, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman have both been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. So, they begin making a "bucket list" of all the things they want to do before they 'kick the bucket'. While accomplishing the things they listed, they basically travel around the world, doing different activities and seeing different things.
Hubs and I have a little inside joke that is similar to the idea of this movie. Since money is extremely tight right now, we can't afford to do many things we would like to do. So, I will always joke and say something like, "Before I die, you're going to take me to a Martina McBride concert, right?". Yes, I saw her at the Grand Ole Opry, but that doesn't count, because it wasn't a full concert! Anyway... one of the things on my list is Australia. I so, so, so want to visit Australia! Another thing on my list is getting to meet and hang out with Bear and Tammy in person. Guess what... Australia is on their lists too! So... wouldn't it just be major cool if we all went to Australia together?!?!
Well, if I won the Save Our Summer Vacation contest, I'd be sending instant messages to my buddies telling them to pack their bags! All you have to do to enter is browse the HomeAway Vacation Rentals, pick the one you would choose, and then submit a photo, video, or story telling why you deserve to win. The winner will receive a $10,000 getaway, and two runners-up will receive a $5,000 trip. You can bet I'm going to enter. You should too. What have you got to lose?
While you're at the site entering the contest, make sure you sign their petition to have August 7 declared as "National Vacation Day". You see, HomeAway is campaigning to have Congress declare this national holiday. They believe that we all deserve to take a break from the stress, especially in this economy. I like the sounds of that! I think the world needs a National Vacation Day!
