1.12.08 Ice cubes

This is my Iced Tea from the Black Eyed Pea. I'm trying to drink less soda and that means iced tea is the next best thing.

1.11.08 Airbrushed sky

The sky was a beautiful airbrushed blue and black and the moon was a bare fingernail in hanging in space when walked into the restaurant we went to for dinner tonight. It was out first long date in quite awhile.

1.10.08 No occasion flowers

My husband gave me these tulips on Monday. Wasn't that sweet? They were no-occasion flowers. :o) They opened up to their fullest today.

1.9.08 Final vestige

Christmas lights go away far too quickly in my opinion. They should be proudly displayed year round! Tonight we saw a final vestige of all the glitter that cheers up December.

1.8.08 Delicious landscape

An alien landscape or my off-the-cuff bread pudding? I made this today using unused scraps from my son's sculpted birthday cake. The egg custard is a modified one I use for regular bread pudding.

1.7.08 Rearview mirror decor

Christmas ornament hanging from my rearview mirror along with a keychain I designed, a bracelet from Beth, and a wooden cross.

1.6.08 Snow day

Today we had an unexpected snow. It was sudden, cold, and slippery, but by time we went outside, it was reduced to icy slush.

1.5.08 My camera

This is the camera with which I will complete this project. It's a hand-me-down from my mom. I'm usually not a "red" person, but this cool cherry-red beauty changed my mind.

1.1.08 Jellyfish

Jellyfish from the Denver Aquarium. We went there as a family on New Year's Day.

Project 365: Photo a Day

I just learned from my dear friend Beth about this thing called Project 365. It is basically a challenge to take a photo every day for a year so that you can look back on your life that year and remember all those little things that were important to you. A little note from the info page:

Imagine being able to look back at any day of your year and recall what you did, who you met, what you learned… (Often we find it hard to remember what we did just yesterday or even last night, let alone a whole year ago!)

Your year-long photo album will be an amazing way to document your travels and accomplishments, your haircuts and relationships. Time moves surprisingly fast.

This sounds both fun and intriguing. I'm a little behind this year seeing's how it's January 5 already, but I'm certainly not waiting until 2009 to start. Who knows, after I post this, I'll see if I have a picture from each day so far this year, and maybe I can satisfy my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder after all. ;o)

What I am going to try NOT to do is post pictures of my kids because I am ALWAYS posting their cute little faces on my personal blog. This is going to be a photo diary of quite another kind.

I'll do my best to update at least every couple days (if not every day) with new pictures. Feel free to comment! This is a public blog though, so please be aware of that little detail...
