Another week just snuck up on me and I didn’t have the time or energy to put the thought into like I wanted to. I owe you all something, so I am going to do what I do best, be honest. I hope the pictures explain it.
Something I have Outgrown:
I thought of putting all the pairs of jeans gathering in my closet having a happy size 10 party or the sweatshirts that for some reason are to short in the arms. Do your arms get longer as you get older?
Instead of give you..
I have outgrown the childish game of getting my sister drunk and putting ‘the underwear’ on her head and taking pictures while she is passed out. That is so childish and I will not take part in it anymore. I mean, until I find the place she hid them last!!
Something I have overcome:
This. I have over come THIS. I know it doesn’t look like much to you, but growing up here and what this house symbolizes is HUGE for me. I’ve let go of all that stuff that happened and the people we were when we lived here.
I need help with…
Smiling through the pain. I was going through my pictures today trying to find a picture that suits the theme, because I was sick all day and sleeping when I wasn’t throwing up tuna fish and didn’t have time to actually shoot the pictures.
This picture was taken the day after a very tragic event in my families lives. My brother, the dorky one between my sister and I, drove all the way from Oregon to be there for our family during this time.
It’s strange, how during that time we managed to make each other smile and laugh. Maybe my ‘need help’ should be reconnecting with my family that I feel so isolated from. I miss my mom. I miss laying in bed with her and talking about lame things. I miss my sister and how we can manage to laugh at everything and sit quietly in each other’s company and enjoy what’s going on around us…and then laugh about it. I miss my brother Michael when he’s really in the mood to talk. He tells me lame jokes and I look at him like he’s a moron and he throws things at me.
I miss my heated debates with my dorky brother, Barry when he gets all fired up about something and then you just look at him and say, “Bar, dig yourself?” and he starts laughing. Jerry, whoa…I love him SO much. Him and I have gotten so close in the past few years and I LOVE LOVE LOVE him.
I want us all together…I want the medication only my family can give me.
DID YOU PLAY? hopefully you didn’t get all mushy and gushy like I did.

FIRST BITCHES!!!!
I played. I’m not quite done yet. But I had to be first!!!
Second!! No, I didn’t get mushy — I wish I could about my family. Yours sounds so neat!
I played.
Damn I stalked to say First bitches, but didn’t make it by seconds! I’ll get it next time!
Anyhooo… Mine’s up!!
I can not believe I am up at the top of the list and I did not play this week, just posted some nonsense have to study but so wanted to play!
Great Post Kristine, I am always amazed when people overcome things from their past.
I think you should call your siblings I am sure they would talk with you for hours. Isnt that what family is for to get us through the good and THE BAD!
Have a great weekend!
Great theme this week. I’m with you on the whole family deal. Why is it so hard? I wish I knew the answer, because I’d be happier too.
I Played. I hope you have a good weekend!
FIFTH BITCHES! ha, i’ve always wanted to do that :)
i hope you will find a way to reconnect with your family. maybe plan for a big family-gathering more often (thanksgiving is just around the corner…) or something? sending you a *hug* from over here.
oh and jep, i played :)
Happy SPF!
I agree with the others… you should make an attempt to get in touch with your family. I am sure they would love to hear from you. Sometimes it’s hard to leave things in the past, but you should start fresh! HUGS.
oh yeah, and I played too.
Here’s hoping you get your family medication soon. You deserve it. I wish I had the possibility of it.
Please don’t outgrow the first one. It is too entertaining.
Family stuff can be sooo hard! I played, but I promise I didn’t get all mushy this week.
Happy Friday everyone!
I played too. Love yours.
Families… they’re tough to be around sometimes, but sometimes you really need them. I’m learning that now…
Family – there is NO replacement.
Unfortunately, after much enthusiasm about this week’s challenge, I didn’t play. Too much to do.
Next week!!!
Have a wonderful weekend Kristine.
Loved your SPF! Family issues are difficult I know. It is easy to say just connect back but reality makes this a hard choice.
I played, not as mushy (maybe a little). Have a great weekend.
Great pix! I didn’t get as deep with this one.
But after a three week absence, I played. Yay!!! Come check ’em out!
*handing over doctor’s note*
i really AM sick :(

Nothing wrong with musy. I think it is a good SPF for you.
I played.
I’m so sorry you’ve had a tough week. I love the stories behind the pics, as always, wonderful.
I’m working on mine right now…It won’t be up ’til later. If these people in my house would just stop wanting to eat all the time….
Have a wonderful day!
Still laughing about you and Sis and that pair of underwear. You two are hilarious!
I played. First time in awhile. I guess insomnia can be a good thing sometimes…
Oops, I meant mushy … not musy. Was early in the morning for me.
I would have gotten all mushy if I had played. For sure.
But you are lucky I didn’t. You even posted the list early enough this week that I wrote it down and everything and meant to think about it (Thanks for posting it early)
But alas, I feel like a flipping bumble bee fluttering around frantically looking for buckets of water to put out fires all day long and I sadly didn’t get any time to do anything fun.
Still, I commented because I like when you get mushy, and I loved this week’s SPF.
[…] Doing the Stuff Portrait Friday today which asks you to take three pictures of: 1. Something you have outgrown… […]
I like seeing the mushiness!
Love the pic of your sister…hehehe!
I played this week!
If you have a family to reconnect to, I say go for it. Not everyone has that foundation to begin with.
Now, about those underwear…
I played (SPF, not the underwear game)…
I miss my family, too. I only have one brother, but I don’t see him more than every couple of years. It’s sad.
I played!!
You threw up tuna? Eck! :)
I played.
You and your sister have the bestest relationship. I have three, and we manage to be together, but it’s not usually too much fun.
I wrote down the nice and early assignment for SPF, really, I did.
But it seems that my camera was needed other places and events, so I am tired of focus and crop and re-size.
And I still have to copy and print and distribute.
You want to make a business of photography? I hope you get paid well.
Your sister is going to kick your ass for that picture, but I love it.
I loved your SPF – great job, girlie.
lmao about the underwear!
Happy spf, I played :)
I Miss you too Kristine , I Know that your sissy is missing you too… Gotta go and wipe the tears and blow my nose Great Post but the pix made me so sad… I Love You So Much!…..xoxoxoxo
I PLAYED YOU GUYS!
Kristine, you look great in that last photo! Smile more, for sure! Hopefully let it not be “through the pain” all the time though.
See, uppercase God punished you by making you throw up tuna fish.
You are so in for it.
Your family seems like the best!
I played.
This week’s theme was great. I love mushy.
I played…in my own moderated way (I don’t have a digital camera but I made do)
Hope all is still on the up’s
I always read SPF’s…I go to each and every page and love seeing everyone’s pics and thoughts..
One day..I’ll play.
For sure couldn’t tell what I have “outgrown” :) At least not yet..
Hope you feel better.
I did not play…but what a great post girl !
Great Post! I have not played this game yet – but it sure looks like fun – I’ve gotta get in on it!
This was a Great post, and a GREAT THEME this week!
I finally played!
Take care!
That was NOT a lame spf it was good! I played.
The underwear shot is really special! LOL
I didn’t have to dig too deep. Like you, my cobwebs can be plucked are like low hanging fruit these days!
Hope your extraspecial specialist is especially good for you!
OK. So I finally got mine done. Have a great weekend!
That first picture is hillarious!!!! Glad you have such a great family who make you feel better! :)
[…] SPF this week was about challenges. At least that’s how I percieved it. […]
Checking in late again, but I played.
Sorry about not playing last week. I don’t watch tv.
i’m feeling a wee bit better, and decided since i couldnt sleep, i might as well play!
here ya go:

That house looks idyllic. Quiet, and peaceful and pastoral. And I take it, it wasn’t like that at all. It’s kind of haunting, now, looking at it with that perspective. I, too, lived in a house that wasn’t what it looked like, much of the time. XOXOX
