So here's a story about my mom. A few times over the past year she has said to me 'Wesley, you know what? 'I would really like to try one of those weekly photography challenges.' Usually this happened after she would run across one that was already in the midst of running. She's not a big fan of jumping into things that are already proceeding, so she would just sort of sigh and say 'well, one day.' And then I found out about The Lazy Pit Bull's 52 Snapshots of Life  ! As soon as this happened I  went to my mom and told her that someday is now  today and to get her camera ready to point at something other then me . Heck, I was even so nice as to tell her I'd let her use my blog once a week for a treat or two to post her photo for the challenge! Since The Lazy Pit Bull  will be posting up a linky list each week on Friday, we decided that she would have that day to post her photo up as well. Now, today is Saturday which means she's a d...

Hello all! Wesley's mom, Amanda, here about to take over his blog for a little bit. Why? Because zipping around the blogs today I discovered that today there's a survey of sorts going around and I wanted to participate in it! It's the Pet Blogger challange, being hosted by Will My Dog Hate Me and Go Pet Friendly . Actually, that's a lie...I didn't discover it today...I rediscovered it today. I actually saw mention of it a few weeks ago and made a mental note to participate, I even copied all the questions and make an icon on my computer desktop labeled 'JAN 10 - DO THIS ON BLOG'. Did that help at all? Nope. I completely forgot until my blog wanderings. Whoops. The moral is that I'm a completely forgetful, swiss-cheese for brain human female  participating in this challenge today so read on down below the link-image to see my responses to the questions asked!  1. How long have you been blogging? Please tell us why you started blogging, and...

...and that's my opinion on that! Yes, I am  looking like a chimpanzee  sticking my tongue out at you all in that photo (well...not you guys, really. Originally it was a photo send to Wes' poppa via text...it just happens to be the most recent photo of me!); no I make no apologies! Wa-ha! But anyway...yes. That's is me above. A little background on me? My name is Amanda, and I live with Wesley in northeast Pennsylvania. I'm somewhere between the ages of 28 and 29...just about halfway (my birthday is July!). I'm also a bit of a coffee addict. Sweet, sweet lifeblood  caffeine! Now, I do believe there were actual questions for me to respond to around here somewhere, weren't there? Oh...here they are! It's late and I'm a bit lazy, so I didn't answer every single question offered...but I did answer most! So, here's a little more about me! What’s your favorite non-animal related book? You know, growing up I used to read all the time....
