Traffic boredom = picture fun

What do you do when you're stuck in never-ending, stand-still traffic? You play with the camera on your new phone, of course. Here are some of the fruits of my boredom. None of it is the least bit impressive, but it is what it is.

The traffic that started it all

0 MPH is always fun

What a beautiful day in Arizona...

...except for the huge dust storm

My wedding ring. It's small, but it suits me. I think this is a surprisingly clear pic for a camera phone.

Another reason why Arizona sucks

I make no secret of the fact that my Midwest heart does not much like it here in the Southwest. I mean honestly, the high today is 113. I thought if I put it in blue, it might trick my mind into thinking it's not so hot. It doesn't seem to be working. Meh.

Another downside to the Southwest aside from the neverending heat is all the yucky, nasty bugs and other dangerous creatures that seem to be everywhere. Normally I am not the squeamish type. Spiders don't bother me one little bit. Unless of course you're talking about a black widow that has decided to set up camp right outside my door. We've had about 5 of these such spiders recently. EEK!

Normally I'm a catch and release sort of girl, but I really don't feel comfortable having bunches of these little guys (err... gals) hanging around with my two dogs and very curious and grabby Ellie. I feel bad that they have to die, but they really must to preserve my sanity.

The List

The Good:
- Ellie rocks
- I have some super-awesome friends

The Bad:
- Everything else

So, who wants to come visit and cheer me up? Clearly no one in my family is up to the task and seem to actually be actively trying to make things worse.

Anyone, anyone?

It's only going to get up to 113 this week. Not TOO hot.... really... it's a dry heat. Eh, who am I kidding. :P
