Absent

2008-01-31T22:01:00.001-05:00

I was absent yesterday, panic attacks and whatnot. We only had a half day, but apparently I missed a lot. Yay, make up work!

Oh, and happy One-Month-Of-Pictures!

So, I'm having some trouble. Not with taking the pictures - I can remember to do that. But posting them? Not so much. Sorry for having to double up every other day. Anyways, ehre are some sunglasses, and a reflection of my room.

Leftovers

2008-01-29T21:38:00.000-05:00

I heated up some leftover speghetti for dinner tonight, my mom had a hot dog. After I put away the leftover-leftover speghetti, I found these remnants on the counter. Look at the cute little mousie meal!

The Remains

2008-01-29T21:37:00.001-05:00

We don't do so well with cleaning. By the way, this picture looks wierd, it's where our kitchen counter meets the wall. That darn speghetti sauce.

Splatter

2008-01-27T20:10:00.001-05:00

Dad made speghetti for dinner tonight, along with his home made sauce. Nothing warms up a cold day like being able to smell speghetti sauce twenty feet from the front door.

Sparkles

2008-01-26T18:18:00.000-05:00

I ate a lot today, and a picture of my stomach is much less flattering then one of my mouth. And my photo was MIA when I was out and about. California Tortilla for lunch, Buncha Crunch at the movie theater, and then Guapo's for dinner. Yum yum!

Employment

2008-01-26T00:12:00.000-05:00

I need it. I'm applying for a summer job (art camp), as well as a part time job at an arts supply school. Wish me luck! And yes, I edited out the good parts.

A Matter of Opinion

2008-01-24T19:50:00.001-05:00

Clean is all a matter of opinion. My aunt is coming in to town tomorrow, and hey, I can see my floor. It's a step. Mom made me clean up. And will probably make me clean up more. Ah, mothers. What would we do without them?

Wednesday, January 23th: Miniatures

It's kind of hard to tell in this picture, but that mouse is tiny. My mouse broke (is fixed now!), so I had to use the tiny laptop mouse. It was pitiful.

Tuesday, January 22nd: Recovery

Still didn't go to school today. I was exhausted. Spent most of the day sleeping. Saving up energy!

Monday, January 21th: Chloraseptic

Sore throats are a killer. This didn't do shit, either.

Sunday, January 20th: Fevers

I don't think anything can explain how fevers feel. Sweaty, cold, hot, tired, gross. Yuck. 103.7, the high of my sickness, was today.

Saturday, January 19th: Flavor

Really, never get the black cherry flavor Sucrets cough losenges. They SUCK. But, they help slightly. Rock and a hard place.

Friday, January 18th: And So It Begins
It only started with a sore throat. If only I knew! Honey and lemon taste rather odd together. It was a weird mix.

- Intermission -

2008-01-20T14:31:00.000-05:00

Hello all --

You're gonna have to wait for new picture blogging. As of Friday I've been grossly sick, fever, chills, sweating, difficulty breathing, the whole shebang. This is the first time I've been able to stay upright for any period of time.

Fingers crossed for me feeling better soon!

I'm dreaming..

2008-01-17T19:05:00.001-05:00

... of a white Christmas! Just liiike the ones I used to knowww...

tehe, snow makes me giddy. :] However, it's practically impossible to photograph without my tripod, which my Father has taken hostage.

2008-01-14T21:41:00.000-05:00

Food, food, food. I was having some serious cake cravings today, so we stopped at Superfresh and got us this wee little thing. And yes, it's two layers, we ate most of the top layer off. Just don't ask questions.

This Is My Good Side

2008-01-13T20:05:00.001-05:00

Carse was whining that all of the pictures of him on here so far were of his butt. He's a photoham, loves being the focus of attention. It has been a lazy day around here, he summed it up pretty well.

The Aftermath

2008-01-12T19:52:00.001-05:00

Carson (on the right) got a stuffy today. It lasted all of 5 minutes. Mollie (on the left) is oblivious to everything. Aftermath and oblivion. What a pair. ha.

House in the Water

2008-01-11T15:37:00.000-05:00

Try full view, also. It rained today. A lot. Luckily, by the time I had to go home, it was sunny and a balmy 50 some degrees. I'm still silently hoping for snow, snow, snow.

America Runs on Donuts

2008-01-10T21:40:00.000-05:00

A couple girl friends and I went out after school today and ate the entire world. We also stopped for donuts. Luckily, we finally used up our Dunkin' gift card, so we might trade the donut trips for trips to the gym. Then we can get out and talk to boys, instead of just staring at them from our car, eating.

I Walk The Line

2008-01-09T19:32:00.000-05:00

The boys walk in a line. Always. It's amusing to walk behind the big group of guys walking down the alleyways in DC. This on the way to the Capital Area Food Bank, for four hours of community service, which my school does once a month.

You drive, I'll shoot.

2008-01-08T19:28:00.000-05:00

Spent a good amount of time driving around today. Dunkin' Donuts, Hamberger Hamlet, doctors, home. Okay, so it doesn't sound like much, but it was good. And, taken with the Canon, vs the dSLR.

Bedtime

2008-01-07T19:34:00.001-05:00

Not at all artistic, and kind of a sucky picture over all -- but I'm tired. So this will have to do. First day back after winter break, and I'm off to bed freakishly early.

Doorway to Heaven

2008-01-06T17:28:00.001-05:00

My church is in the process of constructing a new building, we're supposed to have our first church service there in less then seven weeks. So far - no ceilings, no flooring, paint in 1/2 the rooms. But atleast we have the gas fireplace! ha. Anyway, this is the view from in the sanctuary.

Bright to Black

2008-01-05T20:58:00.000-05:00

Spent most of the day in bed. I either saw this, or nothing. I feel like I'm coming down with something. Fingers crossed that I didn't.

Shine Brighter Here

2008-01-04T21:34:00.000-05:00

Went to Chinatown in DC today, to go to a synagogue, for my World Religions class. I love living in DC sometimes. How crazy. Anyways, took this while waiting for the metro. I like it.
PS - Definitely, definitely need to full view this.

Ice Packs and Sore Backs

2008-01-03T19:23:00.000-05:00

I went to the chiropractor last week to get my back adjusted. Looks like I need to go again, though. I can't bend over at all, and I can only turn my head so far to the left. Yuck.

Sleep Life Away

2008-01-02T16:55:00.001-05:00

Ahh, to be a dog. He was here, laying behind me, the whole day. It takes a lot of energy not to go curl up with him and take a nap.

Christmas in Boxes

2008-01-01T19:30:00.001-05:00

We put all of our Christmas decorations away today, and then back up in the attic. Kind of sad how quickly the holidays can pass.

t-minus twenty four hours...

2007-12-31T00:05:00.000-05:00

Well hello, ladies and gentleman. If you're there.

This is project 365 taking place in the political center of America.

Project 365 is...

learning to capture the moment
developing love for photography
learning to see through the lens
seeing beauty hidden beneath the daily grime

That's why I'm doing it, at least. Starting January 1st, I will be posting one photograph that I took during the day on here. Hopefully by this day, next year, I will have 366 photographs summarizing my year, viewed with one eye shut.
