Photo-A-Day: The End

Well, that's it. June is over. This year is speeding along! It's currently 90 degrees in Seattle and we are all melting. July is not looking any cooler, but I'm ok with that. Once you accept the heat, it doesn't feel so bad. I had a lot of fun with this Photo-a-Day challenge and might do another one in August.


Day 29: In my bag

Only my favorite things from inside my purse. The rest is a mess of receipts and expired coupons.

Day 30: handwriting

A letter from my friend Laurel.

Now back to our regular scheduled programming.

Photo-A-Day: Week 4

This week, I went with Instagram-y square pictures. I have no idea how to use Instagram, though, so these are just cropped in Pixlr.

Day 22: Enjoying Life

Trevor's "enjoying life" face after hours of listening to people talk about high school (my reunion was great)

Day 23: Last

Day 24: Negative Space

The gutter in Elle

Day 25: Sharp

My cousin didn't heed my warnings and gave herself a nasty cut with these :(

Day 26: Empty

Day 27: Into the Sun

 I had to take this picture today since there was only gray sky yesterday

Day 28: Red

Just a couple more days to go!

Photo-A-Day: Week 3

Week 3 of the June Photo-a-Day Challenge did not go as well. Most of these pictures were not taken on the appropriate days, but, hey, at least I'm taking them!

Day 15: From above

Looking over the edge of my roof

Day 16: Family

A small sampling of my family on my wedding day. Dad was working in England :(

Day 17:  Centered

Taken from Madrona, directly across from Bellevue

Day 18:  Street

My daily drive is pretty gorgeous

Day 19: Currently Reading

I wanted to take a picture of nutrition labels, because I read a lot of those :-/ 

Day 20: Cute

Not your usual cute: some sort of animal tail and a bug pin

Day 21: Lunchtime

Not much of a lunch, but I'm not complaining!

Tomorrow is my 10 year reunion! Wish me luck!

Photo-a-Day: Final Days

27. something I ate

My boss, who is Chinese, cooks me lunch almost every day. It's so good I can't turn it down.

28. money

This our change jar. We recently emptied it, counted up all the change, and deposited $65 into our savings. That was without the quarters, too! We need those for laundry.

29. listening to

I've been listening to Robyn's newest CD, Body Talk, for a month straight. I loooove it.

Well, that's it. It's been fun, but I'm kinda glad it's over because these photos take up a lot of space on my blog!

Photo-a-Day: Week 4

20. handwriting

My sister is a math major.

21. a fave photo of you

I was 2 or 3. We were on a hike when I scraped my leg. My dad thought it was really cute and took some pictures of me sitting on the ground.

22. where I work

The door of my office. It's just two doors down from my apartment!

23. my shoes

They won't be my shoes for much longer. I can't wear them anymore, because of the heel and the fact that they won't fit my insoles. My sister is going to enjoy them instead :)

24. inside my bathroom cabinet

I store most of my bathroom stuff under the sink. It was so dark that the pictures wouldn't turn out right, so I took almost everything out. I don't use all this everyday!

25. green

Snow Drops at my mom's farm.

26. night

Photo-a-Day: Week 3

13. blue


14. heart


15. phone

My phone is crap. It drops about 75% of my calls.

16. something new

My hair color and my falsies!

17. time


18. drink

My husband came home from San Diego and took me out to breakfast. I ordered as many drinks as possible. I love drinks!

19. something I hate to do

I hate throwing away magazines. This isn't my whole collection, either. Even the ones I don't like, I at least try to resell at Half Price Books.

Photo-a-Day: Week 2

6. dinner

This was dinner on Monday. After Sunday's fare (so much cheese!) I thought a salad was in order. Call me old fashioned, but I still view salads as the confessional booth of foods. Repent of thy sins! Now do 10 Hail Meuslis.


7. button



8. sun

This is the last of the sunshine being reflected onto my apartment building.


9. front door



10. self portrait

I always thought I couldn't draw human figures, but then I decided to sit down and give it a real go. I drew myself, since I know that "subject" best. I think I turned out alright. There are certainly some "artistic liberties" taken, though.


11. makes you happy

This is Frida. For the past 2,758 mornings (minus the 7 months I lived in England) I have woken up to this silly looking dog. I laugh at her every day. Her face is so funny. Ears for days.


12. inside my closet

It's hard to take a photo in my closet. The lighting is horrible.

Photo-a-Day

Photo-a-Day:Week 1

This Photo-a-Day thing is fun, but it was eating up too much space (in other words, pushing my main posts out of view). I've decided to condense the pictures into a weekly post.

1. My View
To be honest, I discovered the photo-a-day challenge late in the day, and since the daylight is gone and I can't get the pictures of my messy desk to come out right, I decided to cheat a little. Technically, I was downtown on Feb. 1, but this shot is from a couple weeks ago when we had snow.



2. Words
I am having a very passionate love affair with fonts. These are hand-painted using watercolors.


3. Hands


4. L'etranger
I want a new camera. Free is nice and all, but I want one where I can actually see what I'm shooting. I can't tell if a picture is good or not, so sorry stranger boys. I wish I could of gotten some better shots of you.


5. 10am
Toast with a side of vitamins: Calcium, Omega-3, Turmeric, and Hair, Nails, and Skin multi.



This is a great idea! It's like a treasure hunt through pictures. To join, visit Fat Mum Slim.
