April has ended

Well it has when it comes to my Project 365. I finally uploaded the last day of April.

1. gum. lots and lots of gum., 2. cat, computer, bed, 3. sprunch, 4. Once a Badger, Always a Badger, 5. good food, good friends, good times, 6. two. zero., 7. packed, 8. zzzzzzzzzzzz, 9. diner, 10. clean & folded, 11. bench, 12. looking thru the golden glass, 13. crossed, 14. house hunting, 15. Miss Cairo Kitty, 16. fruit loopy, 17. splash ball, 18. on the road, 19. little miss blue eyes, 20. the way i am, 21. scrappin' the project, 22. rusted, 23. a window's reflection, 24. scallop, 25. What light thru yonder branches breaks....., 26. searching, 27. What's for dinner?, 28. post*it, 29. Who broke the cookies?, 30. just bananas

So the search begins, again.

I have spent most of my time this evening looking for available properties. I came across one that looks nice on the inside and is of newer construction. It is a 2-story (been there, done that) but I am willing to at least go and look at the place.

When a place looks promising I like to look at the Google satellite pictures to check out the surrounding neighborhood. Well, now I am not too sure of this place as it is right next to a huge business lot. One that has large bay doors like for semi-trucks or maybe auto repair. The back of the house overlooks this business lot. I still think I want to look at it though. I sent the listing to my Dad to see what he thought of the place. This is his response:

I had received an email on this listing,but I personally don't like it because.............
it's 2 story, frame stucco(harder to maintain if it has a lot of wood exposed)
and because it is ugly. (MY opinion)

Dad

Of course reason #3 is always the most important when it comes to selecting the right house. I really want a house that has character on the outside. I thought the house that we were going to buy did not really have any outside character. But I was willing to forgo that for the character the house had on the inside. Now this house that I am going to look at tomorrow. It does have character. Ugly character. But still that is better than nothing.

...and so ends 2008

I have done it!

I have finally finished uploading my Project 365 photos for the month of December and the year of 2008. Let's just hope that it doesn't take me as long to upload my 2009 photos. I really do hate getting so far behind.

I do credit my getting caught up with finally being able to install Photoshop on the new laptop. This thing is FAST! The only thing that I don't really like is that the pictures don't look as good. They seem to be sort of flat looking. But I guess that is one thing I can put up with if it means I get to actually upload my photos in the same year that they were taken.

October 2008

I finally uploaded all my project365 photos for October. Between broken fingers (well just one broken finger), less Internet time then I am used to and just having way too much to do...it took me awhile. I am already okay with the knowledge that I will be uploading my Christmas photos come this February. Well at least I tell myself that I am okay with it.

1. My life is just one big pile of stuff., 2. Princess Moody-Pants, 3. Twilight, 4. gown, 5. Eegee's, 6. it's blartzy., 7. beerkeh, 8. kitteh toyz, 9. comfy, 10. It's all about the Facebook, 11. In a patch of sunlight, 12. iCan, 13. Keeping it all together, 14. Every ball of yarn dreams of becoming something more., 15. friendship, 16. just a bunch of apples, 17. HeroClix, 18. dessert, 19. tassels & flowers, 20. red, 21. Chuck, 22. night light, 23. Colgate, 24. Trying to Better my Home and Garden, 25. blossoms, 26. Desperate HouseKitties, 27. kitchen duty, 28. It's all about the mint, 29. red dahlia, 30. recipe, 31. no tricks...just treats

September 2008

Yes. September.

Yes, I know it is already the end of October but when have I EVER been on time? Sadly, any of you that really know me, know this to be true.

I started my new 365 project on September 1st and I just barely completed uploading my photos for the first month. LIFE is so seriously getting in the way of EVERYTHING. Well not really life....more like work. But that whine will have be told another day.

1. And so it begins.....again, 2. The art of war, 3. Just like the real thing. Not!, 4. Trellis, 5. yaaaawwwn!, 6. sari, 7. “Remember even though the outside world might be raining, if you keep on smiling the sun will soon show its face and smile back at you.”, 8. me., 9. *cupcake*, 10. buddy., 11. salad, 12. waiting for cake, 13. I Spy..., 14. mum's the word, 15. 15 days done, 350 to go., 16. bookcase, 17. It's sweater time....NOT!, 18. “All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.”, 19. Look Ma! No Paws!, 20. welcome to my garden, 21. “The only thing that will stop you from fulfilling your dreams is you.”, 22. untitled., 23. Pretty Kitty, 24. book, 25. Green leaves in front of brown bench., 26. “In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans”, 27. anniversary cake, 28. just a slice, 29. glow, 30. the perfect bench

Trellis

[day 4]

There are so many lovely things right outside my front door.

Just like the real thing. Not!

[day 3]

I am not a big jellybean person. But I have been known to buy me some Jelly Belly's every so often. Then I secretly pick out my favorites and leave the rest for the hubby. Don't feel so bad for the hubby. I know he does the same thing.

I came across these at the store. They are supposed to be ice cream flavored. Yeah.......I will NOT be buying these again any time soon.

The art of war

[day 2]

The nephew attempted to teach grandma (mom) how to play war. Again.

Sometimes you really cannot teach the older set (do you like how I worded that?) new tricks. LOL!

Of course it did not help that she was speaking to me when he plunked the cards down for an impromptu game with only the barest of explanation. But then again, it does make it a lot more fun that way.

And so it begins....again

After the completion of 365 Days, I had thought of possibly doing another 365 project but knew that it would be a bit hard due to all I have upcoming this year.

I almost decided to do another 365 Days of self-portraits but after taking 101 pictures of myself (outside in the heat) and then spending forever trying to edit said pictures, I decided that something less stressful was in order.

So due to the fact that I want to expand my horizons and not just photograph myself and due in part to the gentle persuasion of "DO IT" from lastyearsgirl_ here's to the start of another wonderful year.
