Day 31: Where you relax

Excuse the terrible picture, I worked out this morning and am just resting a bit before getting ready for a wedding reception tonight.

 And it wouldn't be relaxation without Lily at my feet always

Days 27-30: I got a little behind

Day 27: Your Name (I sign it and write it like this about 500 times a week haha)

Day 28: Trash (finally home to go through all my mail... and trash)

Day 29: Feet (they are ready for Spring with their "too hot pink to hold 'em" OPI polish)

Day 30: Toy (the toys used in our assessment room that I play with all day)

Day 26: Key

Love my wallet/phone holder that I attach my keys to

 And LOVE this sweet boy and the text I got from "him" today telling me to check out his cool ride

Days 22-25: Weekend Fun

Day 22: I was not going to take a picture of my kitchen sink, sorry.

Day 23:  Moon

I really tried on this one.  Friday night I left to spend the weekend at Pine Cove for our 20s group work crew weekend.  So I thought it would be a perfect setting to take a picture of the moon.  Except I never saw the moon.  We laid out by the lake that night and looked at stars, but the moon never made it over the tree line while we were out.

Day 24: Animal

It would be tempting to put up a picture of all the bugs we experience on Saturday, but I did not take one because they are disgusting.  But the bugs were out in full-force...mainly around and attached to all the doors to get into the buildings.  But Saturday was a great day full of devotionals, games, my first frisbee golf game in several years (any guesses on how that turned out?  I. am. terrible.), another trip to the lake, and serving meals.

And it was completed by receiving this picture of my favorite animal who was staying at "Grandma's"

Day 25: Breakfast

Breakfast is the only meal we served today before packing up and heading out.  So here is some of our team hard at work plating the breakfast for today (french toast and bacon).  

Day 21: Delicious

On Monday all my co-workers started a weight loss challenge.  So it seems contradictory that this is the table at the back of our office:

Day 20: Before and After

Lily's toy box when I cleaned on Saturday evening:

Lily's toy box today:

Where did all those toys go??

One by one Lily moves them to the dining room.  3/4 of these had been moved by the end of Saturday night.  So my dining room is just always a disaster because her favorite spot is under the table and she likes for ALL of her toys to join her

Day 19: Funny

It's supposed to storm tonight.  So I am settled in at my apartment with 2 of my current favorite things that I happen to think are both funny.

Day 17: Green

That doesn't look green, but it is.  So fun that St Patrick's Day falls on a day when Baylor is playing in March Madness!

Day 16: Sunglasses

It really hasn't been sunny at all this week.  So my sunglasses have just been hanging out here in my car:

Also, I took a car picture yesterday, but my phone deleted.  So skipping day 15

Day 14: Clouds

Day 13: A Sign

Because in Small Town, Texas church controls everything... even the time ;)

Shout out to my speech therapist Jill who spotted this sign, humored me by riding in my car back to take a picture of it and even being my photographer :)

And on a random side note... when I tried to upload this picture tonight it rotated it and there's NO WAY to rotate it back.  So I tried rotating the picture the other way before uploading and it uploaded how I had rotated it.  SO FRUSTRATING.  Any ideas how to fix that?  I finally had to upload it to picasa and then the blog from there.

Day 12: Fork

Nothing better than sharing dinner (that I didn't have to make!) with friends

Day 11: Someone I Talked To

Not a picture from today...  but this is a great picture of my friend Katie and I.  And I just happened to spend most of sunday with her.

Day 10: Loud

Honestly?  Today has been a really quiet day.  

Usually on Saturdays there are games galore at the park by my house.  And there is almost always something going on at the stadium where the announcing starts around 7 am.  But since it's officially Spring Break, there are none of those.

Add to that the rain today and it is really really quiet.  I love quiet, rainy Saturdays.  

Although I will say I guess the dog in the movie I am watching was a little too loud for Lily's liking...

Day 9: Red

I completely missed yesterday.

Several times I thought about taking a "window" picture, but was waiting for the rain to come in.  And my plan was to take a picture after I left my last visit... except that ended up being when it was already pitch black.

So you get 2 similar pictures in a row.  Because RED day couldn't pass without a picture of my very favorite red thing.

(just don't look too closely at the shoe on the left that's bow has been bitten in half... you should see the back of the heels.  Go figure the only pair of shoes Lily has ever touched are my very favorite fun red high heels.  Good thing I love her)

Day 7: Something I Wore

Today was a scrubs kinda day, so this is the only semi-interesting thing I wore 

Day 6: 5 pm

So ready for my turkey burger dinner!

Day 5: A Smile

Love this sweet face.

I wish though that I could capture Lily's actual "smile."  She will follow the command "smile" and it looks similar to this:

Haha a smile only a mom can love.  It's super creepy and looks like she's snarling and showing her teeth to be aggressive, but it actually means she's excited.

Day 4: Bedside

Saddest thing about this picture?  I have read all of those books at least twice (maybe 3 times?) but I always like to have a book to read at night so I go through my books a lot.

So any suggestions for good books are always appreciated

Day 3: Your Neighborhood

One of the things I love most about my apartment complex is that it backs up to the city park.  Our fence has a gate between our apartments and the park so it is very easy to get out and go for walks.  At both of my former apartments you had to drive to get to a place with sidewalks, let alone trails.  Lily and I don't take advantage of the park enough... but this morning we set out for a walk and I thought this was a perfect view of my "neighborhood"  Complete with the football stadium in the distance

Fruit

Sadly enough, this is the only fruit in my apartment.  

Thanks March Picture a Day for the reminder that my eating has been so unhealthy.  Only Day 2 and I'm already learning so much from this ;-)

March Inspiration

So I've been feeling a desire to post a lot lately.  But currently my life exists of lots of time at work, some time with friends, and sleeping.  Not super interested.  I thought I'd try to join in the march photo a day challenge

I figured this was a way to help me know what to post about!

So to start it off here are the most recent decorations I hung UP at my apartment.

Both of these crosses were given to me by co-workers for the last 2 years of Secret Santa. And I just love them.
