January 31st

Today I am posting two pictures not taken by me, but by my little sister. Her puppy Mayce (my fuzzy niece) passed away suddenly last night, she wasn't even a year old. :(

January 30th

No, it's cool, I didn't want my milk anyway...

January 29th

It's heeerrreee...

January 28th

More snow on the way, this is the beginning. Fortunately I had a massage today, so I'm feeling very little.

January 27th

After so many gloomy and cloudy days (literally and metaphorically), the blue sky and sunshine are more than welcome today!

The soft warmth of the sunshine is making me very ready for spring.

January 26th

I found these cute towels at the grocery store....they've given me some sort of inspiration, not sure what exactly.

January 25th

This was snow on top of the bushes at work. After yesterday's freezing rain, this is what was left.

January 24th

We had a pretty bad freezing rain storm this morning and I heard that the commute was horrible. They even closed part of the Interstate for awhile. Fortunately/Unfortunately I didn't even make it out the door this morning. I woke up with a migraine (full blown, not like the mini ones I get a lot). After trying to eat, throwing up, thinking I was dying, and calling in sick, I woke up from the 15th nap and while my head still hurts, I feel miles better. Even good enough to eat some good ol' chicken noodle soup.

Yeah...been one of those.

January 21st

Tested out the new dehydrator. Healthy snacks and the house smelled amazing.

January 20th

This pretty lady showed up last winter and made herself at home. We named her Fluffy. She doesn't like being inside and does not wish to leave. No one claimed her so we let her hang out.

January 19th

Made a tax appointment today....but I wouldn't trust someone who licks his own butt as an accountant.

January 18th

Mourning the end of Fringe...

January 17th

My flower died and I brought it back to life...hearty little zombie ponsettia.

(Sorry, I've been trying to use the Blogger app and I'm still technologically stupid!)

January 16th

I am testing out the Blogger mobile app today!
I love my slippers so much that I have a pair at home and work and if I thought I could get away with it I would wear them everywhere.

January 15th

Cooking is fun and sometimes a chore...today it is fun. De-stressing with a bunch of comfort food....half steaks, sauteed mushrooms, salad, corn bread, and mac & cheese.

January 14th

I am trying to re-organize my phone and actually figure out how all the app kajiggers work....It isn't going well.

January 13th

Nursing that painful Seahawks loss to the Falcons with homemade chicken strips.

January 11th

I had a super awesome toothache this week. I finally broke down and went to the dentist and ended up getting a root canal. They gave me pain pills just in case. I did take one, but it isn't too bad.

One of my nurses took a nice long nap with me, so sweet.

January 10th

Tom Bosley cat decided he just had to go outside. Then he was really irritated and confused why he couldn't walk on the snow and that there was no grass to much on. Weirdo.

January 9th

I love the panoramic setting on my phone's camera. Pretty, snowy foothills.

January 8th

I really need to drop the remote and get back to reading books during these winter months. (Side note: today was the warmest day of the year! 35 degrees!

January 7th

Today we had a coworker's baby shower...his wife had gotten a shower so we decided to throw one for him.

We also had our once a year snow storm...I didn't expect it to snow as much as it did. Across the valley they got between 2 and 4 inches...we got about 3. I grew up in lots of snow, but don't enjoy when it falls here in Boise.

January 6th

I got the cutest sewing machine for Christmas this year....just right for the tiny spare room and perfect for small projects and mending.

January 5th

January 4th

This cold snap (a week of below-freezing as the high temps) has made our office very busy. The phones are ringing off the hook - as soon as we hang up with one call it's on to another. This stress meter has been fixed in this spot since the week of Christmas.

January 3rd

 This one deserves an explanation...my lovely, wonderful, helpful husband had a day off and asked if there was anything he could do around the house. I mentioned that the pantry was a mess and since he works in a grocery store...well it wasn't a stretch. Little did I know that he would do such a great job that it would reveal that I really am resistant to change. I actually got upset that he had changed everything and thrown out some sort of expired things of which I wasn't quire ready to let go. Needless to say, he was so proud of himself and I am such a butt for being upset.

Thank you, dear, the cat was right, you did a wonderful job!

Intro

Greetings! Another year is upon us and as 2013 comes around I find myself in possession of a smarty phone (an HTC EVO) and a cute-yet-sassy electric blue pocket camera. This has led me to something I have always wanted to do: take one picture (okay, or multiple pictures) each day for an entire year. Sort of a photoblog if you will. Sometimes there may be some explanation and sometimes there might not...all part of the mystery. So, follow me, if you'd like, on a year-long expedition to try something new!
