Nim and I are planning to teach a class on how to take a selfie. I think we have it down.
Thursday morning I woke up and realized that I really REALLY needed to take a vacation day for my birthday so I put in for vacation for today. I will working my tax job tonight, but not my other accounting job. I could hardly sleep I was so excited to get out and hike today.
I wanted a bit of sun so I wanted until 6:30am (sadly I was up at 5am) to hit the trail. We are in this freakish warm winter. The local ski area has completely given up even trying to have runs open it is so warm. This weather is perfect for a 42 year old hiking starved girl and her dog.
Nim talked about his feelings for about the first 30 minutes of the trail. He wanted all the birds to know that he was back.
Every year or so I think taking a selfie is a good idea (taken with my dog of course because I am not selfie material). Since it is my birthday, I leave you with a series of selfie attempts. Let's face it, the best one is at the start of this blog.
(Actually one of the best selfies I have ever seen was my sister's friend and her Frenchie. I will have to see if I can get that one on the blog. It was a classic.)
Without further ado, on this beautiful Friday the 13th, selfies courtesy of Nim:
At least his tongue is relatively back in his mouth.
He thinks he hears a bird.
OK, he agrees to look at the camera. :)
Happy Birthday! I'm so glad you took the day off from your day job and you and Nim were able to get out and enjoy yourselves. My idea of a day off would be to sleep in and would definitely not involve leaving the house at 6:30 AM! My personal favorite of your selfies is the last one. You and Nim both look very happy and relaxed. I hope the rest of your day is a good one and you get some birthday treats. No superstition when your birthday is on Friday the 13th.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Walter never stays on top in the wrestling for long. I think he has just learned from her how to perform a take down but once he is on the bottom he is not getting up until she decides she has had enough. She has an amazing technique for just holding him there and he seems powerless to fight it.
Awwww thanks. :) Yes, the last selfie is definitely the "love" selfie. We were both happy and relaxed. It is funny, I wouldn't say I am a morning person in that I don't much want to talk or deal with people, but sadly I just don't sleep in well.
DeleteAh Millie...I would expect nothing less. :)
Lucky weather on an unlucky day! Nim looks ecstatic!
ReplyDeleteHe was. :) It was a great day.
DeleteShut the front door! I can't believe I missed your birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY...I hope you had a beautiful day! I love the selfies with Nim. <3

ReplyDeleteI am glad I had the day off too. It made a huge difference in the day. :) Thanks Cindy.
DeleteHappy Belated Birthday! So glad you took some time off and love the selfies! You have such a sweet smile there's no need to hide it behind Nim, so glad you shared!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jan! That is nice of you to say about my smile. I have always been a bit at odds with my mouth, but I am stuck with it. :) Sam
