Blue Monday-Blue Indeed
It has definitely been a blue Monday for me as I am trying to recover from a possible neck sprain. I awoke one morning and was getting up out of bed and moving my daughter out of our bed at the same time and my neck made a cracking sound and so now I’m stuck in bed. Not fun, but I do have my dear hubby’s laptop which has helped a bit in-between resting and boredom. What can you do, you ask. Become my friend! In a way to network My Etsy Shop I started a MySpace Page that just happens to have a blue layout!! I’m usually a purple girl, as some already know, but blue is definitely up there too and I found a beautiful blue layout with swirls! I can’t figure a way out to copy and paste it here, so you will have to go check it out here .
And I couldn't leave without posting a photo of blue of course! This is a photo of an Iowa blue sky in the summer...

Blue Monday – Blue Lobster!?
Did you know that blue lobsters exist? I didn’t until last week…They are rare and maybe that is why we haven’t heard a lot about them. According to Wikipedia, "Around one in two million lobsters is blue. A research study conducted by Professor Ronald Christensen at the University of Connecticut discovered that a genetic defect causes a blue lobster to produce an excessive amount of protein. The protein, and a red carotenoid molecule known as astaxanthin, combine to form a blue complex known as crustacyanin, giving the lobster its blue color". The following photo is from Wikipedia as well...

Blue Monday – My Child’s Drawing!
This is a drawing that my son did of our family almost a year ago. Do you like my hair!? It isn’t quite that short in real life…I’m not sure why he picked the blue crayon, and just kept going, but I like it! Oh how I love kid’s drawings!!
I continue to work on My Etsy Shop, slowly, but surely! Here is my first blue EVER in the shop, for none other then Blue Monday!
Happy Blue Monday!
You can check out more blue at Sally’s blog Smiling Sally. Thanks Sally!

Blue Monday - Blue At the Zoo!
This is the first time I’ve participated in Blue Monday. Sally at SmilingSally came up with Blue Monday! Thanks Sally!
I was going through a few photos I took earlier this year and came upon a zoo trip that we took in April on my birthday. We were going to go to the zoo on our son's 5th birthday, which is also in April, but it was gloomy and rainy. We changed plans at the last minute since a good portion of this zoo is outside. He didn't know the wiser; it was going to be a surprise so he wasn't disappointed. I admit I was a little because we had not been there for quite awhile. I like to go out and do something out of the ordinary on my birthday, so it seemed like the perfect thing to do. It turned out really nice and was a sunny day. April is a pretty good time to go to the zoo around here because it is usually still cool (which I love) and there are not as many people at the zoo. I like going when it is less busy, it is easier to see the animals when you don’t feel like you are being rushed. It is less sticky and hot too which helps keep the stink factor down. There was quite a bit of blue at the zoo. Blue is one of my favorite colors! ;)
Here is a really beautiful, blue, poisonous frog...
Frogs are a favorite too...I have lots of favorites! ;)
A blue fish...
A very beautiful peacock...


Happy Blue Monday!
Have a great week!
