A New Format for *365*

Ok, so this posting daily thing is getting hard to manage.  I've decided to go to a once-a-week update of my photos.  It'll make my life easier!

So here's where I left off!

Day 20 - Ready to Run


We did not lure him into this position, he did it of his own free will!

Day 21 - After The Rain


We had a rain storm the evening before, and the clouds with the beautiful blue sky made for a striking picture.

Day 22 - Feelin' Blue


Got some new blue nail polish from Avon.  Perfect for spring (which is what it feels like 'round these parts).

Day 23 - Sleepy Fella


Such an angelic face when he's asleep....dude was out cold!

Day 24 - An Evening At Home


Just chillin' like the white wine we were drinkin'

Day 25 - What The?!


Just an artsy shot, because there was nothing else interesting to shoot.

Day 26 - S.I.P. Sock In Progress


I decided to knit some socks out of my hexipuff yarn...I got really tired of the hexipuffs.  I need some more interesting yarn I guess.

Day 27 - One Of Those Days


I was having "one-of-those-days" on Friday, then to top it off I noticed the heel of my two-month-old boot is busted....

Day 28 - Catching Up


I spent Saturday lazing about, and catching up on my RSS feeds...specifically my knitting blogs!

Day 29 - ANOTHER FAIL
I can't believe I forgot to take a picture!  Boo!

Day 30 - Happy Feet


I love my pink slippers and K. Bell crazy socks, it's a fun combo.  And no, I did not knit the slippers

Ok we're all caught up folks!  I should be posting every Sunday from here on out.

I realize that I need to do an update on my knitting and my progress to get in shape.  That may come tomorrow.  Until then, tata!

*365* January 19 - Friendly Fields

When I took this shot I like it.  Now that I look at it in the light of day, I don't....  I love the painting though.

One of Wino's friends painted it for him before we ever met.  It now hangs over our bed.  It adds a nice pop of color in our otherwise modern (and monochromatic) bedroom.

*365* January 18 - A Pen For Every Occasion

My explanation of this picture directly from my Flickr page:

"I'm a teensy bit OCD when it comes to my writing implements. My co-workers tease me that I have a pen for nearly every task I need to complete in my job. Here's the proof that they're right!

"From left to right: highlighter to indicate signature lines, calendar pen, post-it pen, note-taking pen, editing pen, student-signature pen, my-signature pen, eraser, pencil.

"Yes, in all of that I only have one pencil...absurd, I know."

A very late update!

I have some catching up to do!  We took an impromptu vacation this past weekend and I haven't had a chance to post my photos yet.

Day 13 - Oodles of Pins


My box of pink straight pins.  I love the randomness that pins assume in their natural habitat!

Day 14 - Armida!


This a surf board in the Armida Winery tasting room (their Capitola location).  Armida produces my favorite wine ever: the Il Campo. 

Day 15 - By The Candlelight


Taken at Cava Wine Bar in Capitola.  The mood was nice in there and the wine tasty.

Day 16 - Recycle!


Good ol' Capitola, they're very conscious of their image (not kidding a kid was skateboarding through the village and a cop was passing by and got on their megaphone to tell the kid to stop!).  Really, though, it's a great program with some tasty pizza in return.  If you ever happen by any pizza is good, but the chicken walnut salad is a treat too! I <3 Pizza My Heart

Day 17 - My Baby's Growing Up


I bought my car 3 1/2 years ago....brand new.....she and I have together driven 100K miles since then....omg!

*365* January 12 - Mr. Ducky Says Hello

My photo for yesterday, submitted without comment ('nuf said):

Days 10 and 11 - The 365 Project

Here is my day 10 submission for the 365 photos project: Fresh Socks!

 I love getting new socks. Eventually I will become proficient at knitting my own but until then I love K. Bell socks. They're comfy, come in cool patterns AND have my initials embroidered on the toe (that's a great conversation starter...people actually think that I have that done, lol!)
Now for day 11: Let Sleeping Noahs Lie

I was at home today waiting for the inspector for the city to come and give us the green light to fire up the solar panels we had installed last week. Needless to say both kitties were excited to have human company, Noah especially. At one point he pushed the knitting out of my lap so that he could cuddle up on my chest.  This was a tricky shot to get, had to mute my phone and move very slowly...you can see one of his peepers open with a warning leer.  He was still happy though.

*365* January 9 - I'm Tired!

Last night, it was 8:15 and I was fading fast.  I decided to just give in and go to sleep.  As I lay there I realized that I didn't take my picture for day 9 of my 365 project.  What better way to document the fact that I am a 90-year-old woman than by publicly posting that I was in bed and ready for sleep at 8:47pm!?



So there it is!  My bedtime last night.  Personally, for being a list minute picture, I am IN LOVE with this.  If you have an iPhone (or it might be available on Android now...not sure), you need to check out Instagram.  It's such a cool way to spice up otherwise dull photos!
