My week in photos :: Week 10 (part one)

This week, I went on my first vacation trip in over 10-years. The husband won a trip to Disneyland last year at his holiday work party and we couldn't wait to go. The last time I went to Disneyland was back in the 80's. The place is looking a bit different now-a-days.

There are so many photos (and videos too) from this week, way too many to share in just one post.


Sunday

Windmills! It’s been years since I have seen them. Decades even. It was a first for the husband though, he had never seen them before. 🏞 03•04•18

March 4: After driving the entire day, we finally made it to California. We checked into the hotel and took a walk in search of dinner. We settled on Bubba Gump. We don’t have them in AZ and the husband had never eaten there before. 🍤🥗


Monday


March 5: I had hoped that the flowering trees would still be in bloom when we got to Disneyland and I was not disappointed. There were still a few left! 🌸



March 5: From where I stand at Disneyland 🎠



March 5: Look at those happy faces! They have no idea what’s in store for them. Disneyland as an adult is so very different. 😂 Just got off our first ride of the day. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. One of my favorites. It didn’t even exist the last time the husband was there. 🎢

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad...perfect first ride of the day! 🚂 03•05•18 #disneyland

March 5: I was told that I must get a Dole Whip. So, that is exactly what I did.🍍



March 5: 🏰👫



March 5: This place may or may not be haunted. Enter at your own risk. ☠️💀☠️ #hauntedmansion



March 5: Nighttime comes to Disneyland 🏰



March 5: Because there is no such thing as too many shoe pictures. How awesome is that tiled floor, though? 😍



March 5: These feet have had enough. Only one more ride to go. 🎢



To be continued...

My week in photos :: Week 9

Not many pictures were taken this week. I was busy getting ready for my first vacation in decades while trying to get caught up at work. All of this meant lots of caffeine was a necessity. Good thing my work now has a Starbucks.


Tuesday

Feb 26: Hello, Starbucks. Please, take my money. 😜



Feb 26: Cafe latte ☕️


Friday


March 2: One last Target run before our trip. Followed by a quick and easy dinner. 🥪


Saturday


March 3: Look! There’s a little matching car picture on the dash. Cars are so fancy now-a-days. My poor 2000 Honda is so basic compared to this 2018 rental. 🚘

Changes?

All my blog photos are hosted on Flickr.

Flickr has been sold to SmugMug.

Hopefully, nothing changes with this blog once SmugMug takes over Flickr at the end of May.

So, if you show up one day and there are no longer any pictures on the blog, then you will know what happened.

One Second Everyday 2017

This was my 2017.

Better late than never, right?

Thank you for watching.

My week in photos :: Week 8

This week was pretty flowery.


Sunday

Feb 18: One of these days the backyard will be something more than just a place to take pictures of clouds and sunsets and shoes. 📷


Monday


Feb 19: It was a cloudy day ☁️


Saturday


Feb 24: The Javelinas came for a visit. 🌵



Feb 24: The neighborhood grocery store got in a plethora of orchids. I see an overabundance of orchid photos in my future (and in yours too). 😉



Feb 24: Such pretty colors 🌸



Feb 24: O r c h i d 🌿



Feb 24: Where I stand amongst the flowers 🌸

My week in photos :: Week 7

The week of my birth. That is all. 😁


Tuesday

Feb 13: The birthday banner is up! 🎉



Feb 13: Birthday snacks 🧀🍓


Wednesday


Feb 14: Footprints in the rain 🌧️


Friday


Feb 16: Yay! It’s cold enough to wear my new sweater. That I bought, last summer. ❄️



Feb 16: What’s happening? What’s going on here? Where are all these waves coming from? This has never happened to me before. I guess 100% humidity is actually good for something. 🧐



Feb 16: My Work got a Starbucks. This may be a problem. ☕️


Saturday


Feb 17: Waiting to pickup dinner. Had a nice chat with a snowbird. 🙂



Feb 17: Backyard Lines ➿



Feb 17: Yay! Still no weeds in the backyard. I really got my money’s worth hiring someone to come and pull them all. Some were taller than my head. I hope the weeds stay away for a very long time. 🌾

My week in photos :: Week 6

This week was all about pretty flowers growing on trees. Which just happens to be one of my favorite things. It may have been only ONE tree, but that doesn't make it any less awesome.

Every time I walked down the hospital hallway, I glanced out the glass doors to catch a glimpse of said tree. It took me a while to get the chance to actually enjoy sitting under it though because everyone else seemed to have the same idea. That tree was never alone. There was always someone sitting under it. Sadly,  the flowers are gone now but it was beautiful while it lasted.


Sunday

Feb 4: Waiting for the Yum. Nothing better than realizing it’s Sunday (the only day of the week when one of my favorite sandwiches is sold) and the restaurant is still open (they close at 6pm). I always remember when it is too late. 👍


Monday


Feb 5: Spring for a day 🌸


Wednesday


Feb 7: Time to login and get to work! 🖥️ I have no style when it comes to decorating my desk, or anything actually. 🤷🏻



Feb 7: My hair is naturally straight, just not the good kind of straight. 🤓 #naturalfrizzball



Feb 7: Spring has arrived! Well at least it has for one tree. 🌸


Saturday


Feb 10: Almost time for sunset 🌤️

My week in photos :: Week 5

Another week filled with kitties, Hello Fresh meals and selfies.



Sunday

Jan 28: Those fangs though 😂


Tuesday


Jan 30: Work is over. Time to go home. 👏👏


Jan 30: Just one of the yummy meals we have had this week from Hello Fresh. So far, this one has been my favorite. ❤️ Cherry-Drizzled Pork Chops with Couscous Salad.


Jan 30: Thanks to Hello Fresh, I ate these red things. 😳🍅


Saturday


Feb 3: Oops I did it again! 😳 I can’t believe that I cut my hair again. I was going to wait until July but the temps around here already feel like summer, so I went in for a bit of a trim. 💇‍♀️

My week in photos :: Week 4

Boy did this week pass quickly for me. Although at the time it really did feel like the days were dragging. Nothing out of the ordinary happened either. My week consisted of go to work, come home, go to work, come home, rinse and repeat. However, I did get to see the sunset this week, so that makes it all worth it.


Monday

Jan 22: I spoke too soon. I saw the tail-end of a quickie sunset today. ❤️


Wednesday


Jan 24: Working hard trying to stay awake. I am so tired today and it’s freezing in this office! The A/C runs non-stop 24/7. 😟


Jan 24: Just a little color left. 🌄


Saturday


Jan 27: Hello, Fresh! 🥗 I was given a free week of Hello Fresh to try it out. Looking forward to dinner this week.🍴

My week in photos :: Weeks 1 and 2 and 3

I have no plans to start another 365-photo project anytime soon, but I really would like to start taking more photos again. I have gone from taking a ton to barely taking any at all. I always thought it would be fun to actually share all the pictures that I take on my blog too instead of just posting them on other platforms (like Instagram and Flickr).

I have wanted to post a week in photos type of post for awhile now, but didn't think it would work if I wasn't actually doing a daily photo project. Oh the silly things that go through my head. I have no idea why I thought that. There is nothing wrong with posting a blog post of a week of photos that doesn't actually contain a week of photos, right? However here we are 3 weeks into the new year and I have taken a grand total of 10 photos.

So without further ado......

Here is my first week in photos post (for the first 3 weeks of the year).



Monday

Hello 2018! Happy New Year! 🎇



Tuesday


Jan 2: Those last rays of sun, on that last day of a holiday, before having to go back to work. 🌄



Wednesday


Jan 3: Someone, who is older than I, had a birthday. 🎂



Friday


Jan 5: Darn you Apple and your super crisp screen! 😠 Nothing I look at now will satisfy.



Saturday


Jan 6: New computer in the house!! See ya, Windows Vista!! 👋



Wednesday


Jan 10: Kitty in a box 📦


Sunday


Jan 14: Another Sunday night sunset 🌅



Thursday


Jan 18: What a rare sight for me lately. I got to drive home with the sunset. I guess getting off work earlier than usual has its perks. 🚘



Jan 18: The sunset was still happening a few minutes later when I arrived home. Who knows when I will get to see another? ‍🤷🏻


Friday


Jan 19: The morning sun doesn’t shine for very long through the front window, so Olive has to catch the rays while she can. ☀️ I really do like the new (to me) iPhone portrait feature. It can be kind of hard sometimes to get a good picture though. Very happy kitty has BOTH ears in this photo. 😂
