365 Project

I've finally found the inspiration and motivation to get back on top of my photo-a-day blog - my dear friend, Heidi, has signed me up to join her in posting a photo a day for the 365 Project.  The details will be figured out as we go, but I look forward to the challenge of sharing a snippet into my day so I'll have a great look back at the year in photos this time next year.  Won't you join me?  Stop over to A Day In The Life of...

After all, what would a new year be without new starts and fresh beginnings?!? So join me as I attempt to post my year's "story" one photo at a time.

A Day In The Life...

As I was uploading some photos off my camera(s) the other night and showing some of them to my beloved husband, he kindly (?) asked me if there is ever a day when I DON'T take at least ONE photo. Since my iPhoto account groups my pictures into "events" (at least initially) by date, I scanned said "events", which read something like this: "June 14...June 15...June 16...June 17...June 18". I realized he was right. There is NOT a day (at least not in the recent past) when I have NOT taken at least ONE photo. So, what do I do with this new found knowledge?!?! Why, start a new blog, of course! :)

Inspired, in part, by this conversation and moreso by people with similar ideas and blogs such as those found here (Thanks, Pam!), here, and (my favorite) here (hey, if I can't get up here, I'll make my own!) I decided to follow suit. I will call it "A day in the life..." with a photo posted every day ('cause I have time for this, right?!?) :) We'll see how it goes. It's a good excuse for me to share even MORE photos with you than I already do!! Mwahaha!

So travel on over and check it out by clicking here.

Or take a look here.

Or, if you so choose, stop in HERE!

Just make sure you check it out - The fun begins now!

10 on 10 : June 2009

I realize this negates today being a WORDLESS Wednesday, but at least that POST was wordless, right?!?  Today marks my inaugural 10 on 10 post! Aren't you all excited?!? The task for the day was to take a picture an hour for 10 hours and share them all here. I tried to make today's photos a "picture" of my day. I'm not sure if this is "against the rules" but I will explain each picture to take you on a tour of a day in the life of ME. Or at least on a tour of TODAY, as parts of today were generally atypical from an average day in the life of me.

Anyway, buckle your seat belts and keep your hands in the ride at all times!  Here we go!

I awoke late (for me, anyway!) at 6:30 AM wondering why Alex wasn't up requesting his "breakfast" and found this:

I parked my (now damaged) new car at the back of the parking lot and walked into work. Here is my daily trip up 3 flights of stairs:

Here is my desk and the chaos that abounds throughout my day:

Shelby and I snuck out to pick up our *free* VIP tickets to see NKOTB on Sunday! (Can I get a HELL YEAH?!?):

My delicious mid-afternoon treat:

My pile of stuff waiting patiently for me to take them home:

The dashboard of my new car (don't worry, I was sitting at a red light when I took this!):

The scene that greeted me when I got home:

Halfway through (yes, HALFWAY THROUGH, believe it or not!) cleaning Nate's disastrous room (Notice Alex is "helping", yet Nate is mysteriously MIA):

A snippet of our afternoon outdoor fun:

Let me know what you guys think of this feature!  I had fun doing it and thinking outside the box.  The originator of this 10 on 10 idea had a post up yesterday saying she would be doing a color theme (pick a color and find items of that color all day) - I like the idea of doing a theme like that (flowers, signs, things that start with an "s"...who knows - any/all suggestions are appreciated!!).   So stay tuned to see what I do on the 10th of next month!!
