1/365

***Update: I guess there may be some confusion as to whether or not all 365 pics will be of me.. I am here to say that there is no way #1-that I would take that many pictures of myself and #2- I love my readers too much to expose you to that- this would cause life long issues. Plus- PS.. PSS that also means I would have to put make up on everyday and well, that just don't happen. *** My first pic was just to get me started and the rest will be of random off the wall pics of my everyday life as is happens. I should title this as "As the Shit Flops"

Thank you and please come back!!!

Original Post- I am starting a picture a day category. I hope you enjoy.

K is for Kaiser the K-9

This is Kaiser aka Kaiser Roll to me. He is our department's drug and attack K-9.
These pictures aren't very good, I had a hard time catching him. He didn't like the camera. I think he may confused to what is in his job descripton. He acted like a undercover drug agent when I got the camera out. He would walk off, turn his head and peek around the corner. And since I am not his handler he doesn't listen to a dang word I say except when we have food. He will bark for us if we say the right word, just the right way. It's kinda cool but scary at the same time cause you never know when he's not gonna like the pizza you're feeding him. Oh, did I say that.. really we don't feed him pizza..well sometimes.
As mean as he can be I did get these sweet little puppy dog eyes.

He wasn't paying attention here, I think T had food out or something and that trumps bad Cathy and her camera.
Everyone say "Nice TEETH" He's like a vampire, he wants to suck your blood... just kidding. But he will bite you and never let go.

Thanks for visiting, I didn't realize when I was chasing the big ole doggy down last night at work that this week on ABC Wednesday was the letter K but look how things work out.

Random Race Pics

Oh, he caught me. Baby was on the tripod ready for the race and look what happened.

My other lens got caught in the dust storm along with myself, camera and phone. We were covered.

D in 1999

This is where D got his start. He first had this itty bitty quad runner and then he moved to a really small dirt bike. Now he's on a big ass 250 cc.. His first race is in about 9 hours. He is excited but nervous..

If you click on the pictures you can see them better. Take note on the green star and green circle picture to the right of the star. See the ramps or bumps or whatever they may be. Come on that was a big obstacle for a 4 year old. He was big time then. And the speed,, can ya see the speed the boy has?

I couldn't get the scanner to work at 2:30 in the morning and I could tell ya right now G doesn't want to hear about it. So, I took a few pics of pics of D on his first quad runner when he was 4. This is the bike that the brake got stuck and he ran into the fence. Isn't he the cutest thang ya have ever seen. He's such a man now. Anywho, wish him luck and I will try and twitter updates when possible. Thanks to all that's showing him your support.
I was just looking at these photos and I have to point out some things that make D, D.. First his Jamaica shirt- he loved that Tye die shirt, his little Levi's and his little boots. I miss his little Levi's. He walked in the kitchen the other day and I noticed that him and G are eye to eye now. He was just 5'10 and now 6'01.. Where did my little boy go?

UV man

This is UV man. My son was supposed to make a bracelet out of the pipe cleaner but the rebel made UV man instead. This is UV man hanging on the couch. Not much but some action going on.

This is UV man after he ran naked outside in the harmful rays. Yes I said naked- NAKED- NaKED- nAKed. He's a dirty ole' man.They call him the STREAK! yAOWWW
After the kids abused UV man to MR. Sun they played around a while. I supervised and laid on the warm, crunchy-straw like ground with baby and did what I do best (or atleast what I like to do) I will never claim to be a photographer but maybe one day when I grow up...It's a dream. For now I must capture the monsters in all their games and have proof that yes, once in a while they do have fun and can't say that they are bored.. I am so sick of hearing this. I'M BORED...

This is D standing over me taking a picture of me taking a picture of him. Except on his end I am sure it was sent out that very moment to all my stray children around the city.

This was S's idea to jump and have baby look at them.
Then we went bigger and better. They jumped off the retaining wall.

Then we all went inside and were once again BORED..

Go for it...

This is my son, D Addison.. I love him to death.He is racing in his first motorcross race on Sunday.
I can't wait to see him. I have waited a long time for this day.
This is him practicing on his dad's bike.
He saved and helped buy a new Yamaha YZ250F
Who will be more nervous? Him or me...? MEEEEE
I have been ready for this day since he got his first quad (battery operated) at age 1.. Then he moved up to a real quad. He came in one day and announced that he wrecked into the fence when the brake stuck..Hmmm? I didn't have the nerve to ask him how that worked so I just went with his story. The question is should he have been on a bike when he didn't even know the difference between the brake and the gas.. well now how else would he learn.. He did have a nasty looking bruise but that's part of being a boy with a dream to race one day.. And in 3 days that dream will come true and I can't wait.
I will have pictures but don't let him know cause he has informed me not to make a production of this and just watch.. If I had my way I would be holding up signs and screaming..Okay, I will still scream.. I will update my twitter if my hands aren't shaking too bad.

Sky Watch #11

Dreary day in the good ole' United States. I took this picture of the clock tower downtown the day McCain and Palin came to town. I went into work at midnight the night before and noticed the road was closed down. I walked up town around 1:30 am and met up with our road units on foot patrol. There were about 50 people sleeping under a tent.. how crazy. By the time we got off at 8 am the line was formed for blocks around the city. Usually Police Department employees are low on the list but that day we skipped the lines and walked right in..well after receiving the eagle eye from the secret service, by the skin of our teeth we made it ..lol... We had worked all night, I had Baby (the camera) with me and was not prepared to stand in the pouring down rain for 4 hours so we checked things out and left. I crawled into bed and didn't think another thought about it.

My man

Tonight G decided he was going to fix the satellite himself so he went out the window onto the roof. I was real uneasy about him being two stories up at 9:30 at night but he assured me that he would be okay. He just got around to the front of the house when I heard a commotion and he screamed (not really screamed but I don't know what word to use) - - I thought he slipped and started thinking how in the world I was going to help him.. I had just asked Emma if she knew how to call 9-1-1 and she just looked at me and yawned.. what help she would be. But then he said that there was a big spider out there and he had walked into the web.. oh, yuck but oh, good, that's all... Anyways, he jerked the dish back into place and walaaa..we had tv again. He is so good. All in the sake of football.


But what happened right before I had ESPN was such a wonderful thing. I haven't been feeling good and had some tests and well I will get into later this week after I find out what's going on or not going on. But anyways, I needed my hair colored and so I thought I would try something myself. G helped me highlight my hair and ya know it turned out awesome, just the way I wanted it. He is a great man even though I get mad at him over man things he does, he does hair wonderfully.. I think I'll hire him. So while my hair was going from dark brown to blonde.. yikes, that's scary- he was crawling across the roof fighting spiders. Yeah for my man.. I think I'll call him G-G.. I'll let ya know how he feels about that.

What is it? Results Revealed

Just a few pics of Hurricane Ike that hit Ohio. Yes, Ohio. They are saying that we were hit by a hurricane not just the left overs. Puppy Presley's tail and then I added the other end cause it's cuter..his nose

This is just the inside of a tree that went down during the storm.

G and I went back to the house to get a few things and I was trying to get pics of the moon when I turned around and saw the house. There was not a light on anywhere, usually the place is lit up like a Christmas tree. Anyways, the only thing I could see was G and his flashlight setting the alarm.

The shingles on the neighbors roof blew off. We were lucky we did not even one flappin' in the wind. It looked like playing cards blowing in the wind when I went out and saw this. Their were gone too. They went up over the trees to a corn field..(I think their pool cover went there too) It was crazy.

This guy was cleaning up the road as we were taking our frozen stuff to a family members house. This whole fence line was covered with debris.

Wind chime on our porch.. at that moment it was blowing like crazy. We ended up taking it down for a while.

Bird feeder in the tree.

Random Thoughts

Okay, this is an explanation on how I think.. I usually type what I am thinking even it doesn't make sense cause this is what I do at work. I type what I hear.. I don't have room on my screen to write a story. I need the facts. G always gets on me cause I don't finish a sentence but this is what goes through my head. In my line of work I think, think and think. I have to think about 4 different things at once, How many did they say were injured, which squad went where and what channel are the helicopters on again and do I answer the radio, the phone or 911 first. Actually we usually try to do it all at once but what comes first is the question. Well it's not really a question to me it's just doing it. Anywho.,,
I started out tonight to talk about G and the electric and the new little pringles I bought and this is how it went when I started to type..

G and I ran into Wal-Mart today to get some pool chemicals since no electricity =equals= green mossy pool.. I am terrible at remembering stories, jokes, and quotes, I always get it half right..but one I do remember is the line in the movie "You've Got Mail" Meg Ryan was talking to the male that worked in her store and he had a date that night. Does anyone remember what he said? Anyone???? He was going to to buy some eucalyptus candles so his apartment smelled mooossey.

Wow I wasn't too far off - here is the quote :

George Pappas: I'm going to get eucalyptus candles cuz it makes my apartment smell Moss-a.

Anyways, I have always remembered that quote.. I don't know why cause I can't remember what I had for dinner last night but anywho.. Back to my story..

G and I went to Wal-Mart, they didn't have any chemicals but I did find these new little Pringles- Pringle Minis.. They are the cutest things, they are shaped just like regular Pringles but smaller and they seem to be a little thicker, not so flaky. So next time your out grab a bag. I say they are OK....

The next thing I want to cover are men and their toys, addictions, comfy blankie, pacifiers-(I call the tv remote in the bedroom G's pacifier)

On our way home from Wal-mart we called the house to see if the electric was on.. I have been doing this every few hours for the past 4 days. G just happened to call and OMG there it was - the answering machine.. yahoooo, yippeee we have electric. So we went home and he turns on the TV... Oh NOOOOOOO.. the dish on the roof must have been moved during the storm and nothing would come on. He couldn't even check the signal.. I can see a very painful weekend coming. It's one thing to have no electric but you can't give the boy a car and then tell him he can't drive it... I could see the hurt in his eyes although he tried to blow it off as no big deal but I could see the tv addiction withdrawal coming. So I went up to get ready for work and he went out the front door in front of me mumbling something about the laptop that he had put in my car.. well it's really his car but I have been driving it. He has been driving the other car and the poor big ass land yacht has been parked since 1- it's needs gas and 2- I'm not paying $4.15 a gallon when I have another car to drive. Anywho, as I walked out the walk all I could see what his silhouette and this headphone thing on his head. I thought for a minute cause he's not a gadget man at all and couldn't figure why he would have a phone headset on and then I saw it.. He was wearing his XBox head set and in one hand his laptop and the other an Xbox controller.. I just shook my head and went on. Maybe he is a gadget geek.. he'd never admint it.
I then left for work and left him to mourn and destress with his Halo..

Sky Watch #10

I had my camera with me the other night to take pics of storm damage and I walked outside at 630 am and there was this awesome moon. I tried to get some pics but I didn't have my tripod and well I don't really think I will ever get it on the right setting. But here it is, I still think it's cool looking. Thanks for visiting and I'll be over to your site shortly after I get tucked into work..
