Oops, I missed my first 365 photo. No photo for yesterday. I was super stressed out, and taking a picture was the last thing on my mind. I wasn't sure if I should label this as day 128, or skip 128 and call it 129, but I decided on just skipping the day and sticking with the number.
Beautiful blossoms that I stopped to take pictures of today. What a beautiful Spring day!!

Day 127
Pathetic - I had to make myself a sign to remember to take the garbage out because we forgot last week. How do two people create this much trash???
I had a much better picture in mind for today, but it was not cooperating with me and I didn't have the time or the patience. Maybe this weekend.....

Day 126
So, this is my new bedtime! Yeah, 8:53 and going to bed. My husband has a new work schedule and has to be to work at 5am, which means he wakes up at 4:15, which means I wake up at 4:15!! That is way too early in the morning. I was waking up at 5am before, but for some reason, that 15 minutes really makes a difference!

Day 125
I am in such a good mood today. It really feels like Springtime. I know I just barely did a photo of the daffodils in my yard, but they bring a smile to my face everyday when I get home. I need to plant some in the front yard for next year!

Day 124
I just got home from a very delicious dinner!! We were celebrating my father-in-laws birthday, so my husband and I made dinner. My husband grilled the best burgers I have ever had, and I made a veggie tray and potato salad. I don't think I need to eat for the rest of the week!!

Day 123
What a busy day!! I woke up, went to the gym, went to the post office, stopped at Costco, cleaned the house, did the laundry, worked for 4 hours, went to the grocery store, prepared some dinner items for a bbq at my in-laws on Sunday, and then re-cleaned the kitchen. I was dead tired by the time I sat down. A very busy, but productive day!

Day 122
This is really bad, because I didn't realize that I hadn't taken a picture for the day until I was on my drive home from my sister's house. There was an amazing sunset, but every time I would pull off the freeway to take a picture of it, I couldn't see it as well (the freeway was always in the way.) I would have pulled off the side of the freeway, but I was going the wrong way, and cars would have been in my way. So I tried to do it while I was driving - not very smart when you are going down the freeway at 70mph. At least I got a picture for the day, I guess!!

Day 119
It was too nice outside today. I had to take a break from my "to-do" list to play in the yard with Max while my husband bbq-ed dinner.
I have been feeling really overwhelmed today. There's just too much to do, and not enough time to do it. I don't know how people with kids do it. But I'm glad I took the time to sit in the yard, playing with my puppy, talking with my husband. These are the important things in life. Cleaning the bathroom can wait until tomorrow....

Day 118
I have an idea for the Girl Scouts, so if anyone knows anyone of authority in the organization, feel free to mention my idea. After Girl Scout Cookie season, they really should start selling exercise equipment. I swear, I can't stop eating these cookies!!!

Day 117
I took Max for a drive today to get him out of the house for a bit. I figured it would be good to go and search for a photo opportunity since I hadn't done much the last 2 days with my pictures. I had intended on going to this place that I have driven past before that looks like a carnival cemetery. Yeah, kind of creepy, but it's a bunch of old, rusted carnival rides and equipment, and I thought it would make an interesting picture. Well, to my dismay, there wasn't much there. Just mostly some trucks - not exactly what I had in mind. So I had to find something else. I actually took some pictures of the mountains that would have turned out quite nicely, but I forgot I had been playing with the white balance on my camera,and so the mountains now look really blue. At least I remembered to fix it for this picture!

Day 116
I apologize ahead of time for my very un-creative shots for Friday and Saturday. I have been very busy with other things, and my pictures definitely took the back burner.
Max loves to be involved in everything. Sometimes it is difficult to get anything done, because he wants to be in the spotlight!

I apologize ahead of time for my very un-creative shots for Friday and Saturday. I have been very busy with other things, and my pictures definitely took the back burner.
I have been trying to upload all of my music to my home computer since I have been working here more. It is quite a lengthy process, but it sure is nice to have all of my music to listen to!

Day 114
I have to thank the DMV - I know, who thanks the DMV?? I had to get my car registration renewed (only a month late!!!) and I had been dreading going down to do it. Doesn't the DMV have the reputation of being really slow? Well, I went in, and no more than 5 minutes later, I was out the door with new registration. $150 dollars poorer, but my car is now legal again. I was so excited, because I had enough time left in my lunch break to walk around Provo and photograph some of the buildings. I had forgotten how interesting they were! It was the best lunch break I have had in quite some time.

Day 113
It's time for another picture of Max!! It was such a nice day today - I had to go out in the backyard with Max and play. He loves it outside!! A very hard subject to shoot, though - whenever I get out the camera, he turns around and won't hardly let me see his face! I'm glad I got a few out of the many I took.

Day 111
Today's photo serves many purposes. I was thinking of what I wanted to do today, and realized I didn't do my self-portrait of the week last week (so I will have to cheat and do 2 this week.) I was also looking through The World Through My Eyes, and saw the Monday Theme was pairs. This was the first thing that popped into my mind. After taking lots of shots, I ended up going with the first shot I took and processing it kind of funky. I actually like how it turned out.

Day 110
Yummy!! I had some bananas that needed to be used, and since I was babysitting, I thought my nieces would enjoy some muffins for breakfast. This is my favorite alternate to banana bread. The crumb topping totally makes them.

Day 109
Another view from my sister's house. I really wish I had a longer exposure than 15 seconds, because I think this could have turned out a lot better. I'm glad it was almost a full moon so I had some light. I absolutely love nature, but there is also something to be said for things created by man. I love the look of the twinkling lights (or fairy lights, as my niece calls them.) It almost feels magical.
Friday, March 02, 2007
Day 108
I stayed at my sister's house this past weekend to watch her kids, and she has an AMAZING view of the mountains and valley from her house. I tried to capture it - but this is something you have to experience to get the whole effect. I will have to upload other pictures tonight when I have more time.

Day 107
I am feeling very uninspired today. My battery is just about dead, and I didn't have the motivation to brave the cold outside. So you get my un-finished kitchen cabinet. These things are driving me crazy. Everything is buried and there is no organization. Hopefully we will be finishing these soon - at least putting the shelves in. I have gotten quotes for the cabinet doors (ouch!!) but we are going to build the shelves ourselves.

Day 106
I am so excited!! I planted some basil, and it is starting to sprout. I am hoping to have an herb garden this year, so I started this inside in hopes of transplanting it when the weather warms up. I can't wait for fresh basil! Oh, the possibilities.....
Tuesday, February 27, 2007
Day 105
So I am now going to try to attend Pilates twice a week at the gym. I used to do Pilates all of the time from home, but I decided I needed a change in my workout schedule. I am an early riser - 5:30 at the gym every morning - so it is hard for me to go to classes in the evening. But I had a lot of fun today - I'm definitely going to try to keep this up!
Monday, February 26, 2007
Day 104
I was feeling a little uninspired today, so I looked at the scavenger hunt at The World Through My Eyes (on flickr) to get an idea for today's photo. I'm always able to come up with something off of that list. Maybe nothing exciting, but it's something!!
Sunday, February 25, 2007
Day 103
Cereal again? It was a really lazy day, which was actually quite nice. We ate cereal. Again. Which I can't really complain about, because I didn't have to cook anything, and when you are being lazy, the last thing you want to do is cook dinner!!!
Saturday, February 24, 2007
Day 102
I have discovered the secret to the smoothest legs - a men's razor. I stole this from my husband when he got a new razor, and I don't think I'll ever go back to a woman's razor.
Friday, February 23, 2007
Day 101
I just can't seem to get over this cold. I actually went home from work today because I couldn't stop sneezing and my eyes would water and I looked like I had been crying all day. I have been resting all day, so hopefully I can't beat this and have a great weekend!

Day 100
I have a great idea for one of my self portraits, but I am still a bit under the weather to actually go out and execute it. So I thought I'd try the already done spinning picture. I do have to admit, I wasn't in a very good mood before doing this shot, but this was a lot of fun! I felt like a child again, spinning in the chair (even though it gave me a bit of a headache!)
This is my day 100 of my Photo a Day project. I am really proud of myself! I now truly believe that I can make it all the way through the year.

Day 99
I have really been wanting to travel somewhere lately. I am a scrapbooker, and have been working on my 2004 pages (I know I'm behind!!) and I did a lot of traveling that year. I was still single, and for some reason, it's a lot easier to find the money to go places when you are single. I also just had a co-worker return from a trip to NYC, and I love that city. I can't wait until we can plan a trip and go somewhere. I think I have the winter blues.
On another note, tomorrow is day 100 of my Photo a Day project. Any grand ideas????

Day 98
You've gotta love the generic names....I don't know why, but this made me laugh.
My husband bought me this today because I have been under the weather. I hate colds, and I'm such a baby when I get sick. I've never tried Airborne (or this generic) but I really hope it works!!!

Hmmm, flip flops and short sleeves yesterday, then I wake up to this???!!!!???? I guess I don't need that pedicure anymore!!
Sunday, February 18, 2007
Day 96
The weather has been so nice the last couple days - it feels like springtime outside. Nice enough to sit out in the grass with the dog wearing short sleeves and flip-flops. I know that we'll probably have cold weather move in next week and ruin everything, but this really makes me look forward to springtime!!

Day 94
I love long weekends!!! I am so looking forward to not going back to work until Tuesday. I am going to take time and be lazy and get some things done around the house.
I know this is a bit dark - I should have taken it a bit earlier when I had some natural lighting to work with, but a trip to Costco took much longer than expected.

Day 93
How can you tell you don't have any ideas for today's photo??
When you are walking around the house, shooting everything in sight, and taking random pictures of loved ones in the shower.
I need to be better prepared for tomorrow!

Day 89
Today is Max's first birthday, and first birthday cake as well!! We thought he would just go at it, but he mostly liked to eat the treats off the top and lick the frosting. It was cute, though. He finally got into the cake and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Saturday, February 10, 2007
Day 88
I know this is not the best picture, but I am so tired!!! I work a part time job from home - usually about 20 hours a month. Well, to make a long story short, I had a program on my computer crash last week, and I had to uninstall the whole program and reinstall, losing half of my work. I know - I'm a dummy for not having a backup!!! So it has been a very long week. Not only did I work my 40 hour a week job, but I have been up every night until midnight and all day today, and I'm still not finished. I'm so tired of looking at a computer screen, and the numbers are not making so much sense anymore. I think I'm going to bed for the night.
Friday, February 09, 2007
Day 87
I'm not quite sure what you would call this face. There were 4 or 5 of us around Rylan trying to get him to do his "face." I think he was too tired at first, but eventually fell to peer pressure. He's so cute!!!
Thursday, February 08, 2007
Day 86
I hate giving titles to my photos. They always seem so cheesy. And what do you name this? It's just a bunch of crackers - but I liked the photo, so even without a name, it's staying!!
Wednesday, February 07, 2007
Day 85
I went to visit a co-worker tonight who had a baby 2 weeks ago. What a cutie!! He was so tiny. I was sad to not get a great photo of him - he was sleeping, then fussing the whole time until I left. But now my biological clock is ticking away.....
Tuesday, February 06, 2007
Day 84
I would love to get inside of Max's head to see his dreams. He makes noises and barks all of the time in his sleep. I wonder if they are nightmares, or good dreams?!?
Monday, February 05, 2007
Day 83
Yes, I had Fruity Lucky Charms for dinner. I have been fighting a computer that won't run a program I use for my part-time-at-home job. Not good when taxes are right around the corner. I don't have the energy to find much else for dinner. Plus, they were on sale for $1 a box - you can't beat that!!!

Day 82
For Iron Photographer 15 (a photo challenge)
1 - a brush
2 - something crumpled
3 - creatively overexposed

Day 81
I just realized today that I hadn't done my self portrait for the week. So I actually half-way did my hair and my make-up (although I usually don't on Saturdays because I'm usually just home all day.) I have it out of the way, and I can go back to my daily duties!!
Friday, February 02, 2007
Day 80
I was going to make my husband take me to dinner, but I got lazy once I got home from work and didn't want to go fight the crowds. So we just did the drive-through and called it a lazy night. You've gotta have one of those every once in awhile!!
Thursday, February 01, 2007
Day 79
OK, maybe not the most interesting photo, but it snowed again today and I love the look of the powdery snow. It makes me think of Christmas for some reason...
