So I haven't blogged since April 19th. I've been taking some photos but I just can't keep up with the daily project anymore. A photo a day sounds so simple but carries so much pressure with it, really.
Maggie got sick for an entire week so I pushed it aside. Then I didn't feel well, then came work... Before I knew it, a couple weeks had passed.
I guess I'll just have to update as it comes to me instead of forcing myself to find something every single day. I'm sure it'll be at least somewhat more interesting.
I try very hard to document important events or lame stories whenever I remember to.

Day 23
This is kind of like those magic eye posters where you have to squint and stare for a bit.
We have 8 foot wide picture windows in the living room & dining room which are hit by birds on a weekly basis. This poor bird hit at such full force that it left a complete print of him. It didn't photograph well but I can see the outline of every feather and his smushed birdy face.
I'll be looking out for something I can hang in the window so they can tell to put the breaks on.

Day 21
Today's photo was inspired by this picture:
My BFF, Angie, sent me this picture of her mousepad at work. It was taken during our New Kids on The Block Cruise in 2009. We had our dream of meeting NKOTB fulfilled after 20 years.
Every time I see this picture I think about all of the fun we had together on our adventures. We went to 2 concerts in Atlanta and then the cruise to the Bahamas.
So here's today's photo:
I pass this gas station every day and it makes me miss Angie every time.
The Full Service concert was the best yet...
This photo is a testimony to how awesome Stubhub.com is. Can you believe how close we were to Danny?!
We look like drowned, skanky rats drunk on really expensive drinks. It rained more that night than I can ever remember in Atlanta.

Day 18
Jack fell asleep on aisle #2 and was snoring all the way through the grocery store! This was a major shopping trip so I was there for a long time. His nap lasted all the way through shopping, checkout, ride home and even while I put all of the food away! I wouldn't mind this happening every time we shop.
BONUS PIC:
I feel the same way about babies and/or WalMart.

Day 17
Took the kids to Fossil Creek park in Fort Collins, Colorado. It was 75 degrees there and only 60 in Cheyenne.
We played for a good while and then stopped at the Old Navy since our town doesn't have one.
I wish we lived in FoCo instead but it is 45 minutes south of the base. That doesn't sound like a big deal but the main highway between the towns closes frquently during the winter.

Day 14!
MMMMM, asparagus stir-fry w/rice.
Hey, No one said these photos had to be interesting!
Scott & I are trying really hard to be healthier from now on and it seems to be working. I've lost close to 30 pounds since Halloween. We're doing it the old-fashion way: exercise & diet. I'm working out 5-6 days a week and not exceeding 1400 calories per day. I've also come to a point where I enjoy my treadmill time.
I have 50 pounds until I've reached my goal weight. Which would put me back where I started when we got married.

Day 13
It finally feels like Spring!! I shoved the kids outside this morning and told them not to come back until dinner time...which isn't working to well.
But they'll thank me for the sun because here is the forecast for the rest of the week:
*Maggie is wearing a tank top but there's a huge pile of snow a few feet away from her.
*I couldn't tell when I took the picture, but the dog is sniffing a dead bird!

Day 10
I wish I could be half as photogenic as this dog! I love my almost-11 year old dachshund, Weinerdog. We got him from a weinerdog/donkey farm our first Christmas together. The plan was to have a dog for a bit and have kids way way later. I was pregnant the following month.
He takes so much abuse from Jack but is always rewarded...
Day 9
I swear I took pictures for Friday but my phone isn't letting me have them back. Maybe it's a sign no one should see them? I sang karaoke at a bar with new friends and had a great time. Will edit when I figure this damn phone out.

Day 7
I was struggling to think of something to photograph for day #7 until I went to my room to change for bed.
I didn't realize I'd read so much this month! The majority of the pile belongs to the Laramie County Library. I have a couple magazine subscriptions (extremely cheap on Amazon) and I like to shop the bargain bins at Barnes & Noble.
I'm trying very very hard to spend more time reading print, less online.

Day 5
My favorite chair! My mom bought this rocking chair at auction while I was still in high school. She drove a Dodge Neon but still managed to squeeze it in and get it home.
It was in a corner of my bedroom in my first apartment, OUR first apartment, then Maggie's nursery. We've moved several times together and I always find a place for it. But for some reason, this time the chair ended up in the basement. I think it might be better off down there, away from juice boxes & popsicles.

Day 4
This weather sums up the feel of the past week. I guess Cheyenne doesn't really believe in Spring. It will never be safe to put away the snow blower and car scrapers. I should mention there's an airport runway to the right of those streetlights. I would hate to be a passenger flying in today!
Bonus photo! A rarely captured, smiling Maggie!!

Day 1
There was a time when I was never without my camera and I have probably spent a small fortune on film processing. Life got in the way and and I took less & less photos.
Starting today, I'm committing to the 365 project. I will take at least 1 photo a day for a year. Maybe it will help me remember where the year took us, or just give our friends and family a peek into our life now that we're so far from 'home.'
Please harass me when I slip!
