Week 36: The Bug

You know that country song, "Sometimes you're the windshield, Sometimes you're the bug. . ."?  This week I felt like the bug.  We received some bad news on Tuesday that has been really difficult to come to terms with.  Alex for whatever reason has decided this week that biting is fun and I'm learning more and more what the phrase "terrible twos" is all about.  To top it off our computer got a virus and was locked up for a couple days . . It was definitely a bug type of week!

But life is never all bad, and as I've spent way too much time dwelling on the negative this week, it is time to think of happier things.  We went opening night to the State Fair, and I'm fairly sure we need to make it an annual thing - the weather was great, tickets were half off, there weren't too many people, the produce displays weren't completely shriveled, the animal buildings still smelled of sweet hay, it was great!  Alex had a grand time running around checking out all the animals.

I don't know about you yet. . .

but I like you!

You are kind of funny looking. . .

  


I also tried something new:

That, my friends, is raw honey.  There were some bee keepers at the fair selling it, and they have opened my eyes!  I've read the articles circulating facebook about the health benefits of raw honey and while I usually don't buy into such trends, I have been curious.  My interest piqued when I asked the bee keeper if there was a difference in taste, and she responded, "Yes!  It's like eating a store bought tomato vs. a tomato picked fresh from your garden."  Matt and I bought a bottle and conducted our own taste test.  I must admit, I have to agree with her on this one.  Raw honey has so much more flavor; it is delicious!!

So there's the lesson for the week: when life is crappy and you feel like the bug, eat some raw honey and everything will be so much sweeter!

Happy photographing!
