12 on 12

Happy February 12th! I thought I would participate in a photography challenge, which is to take 12 photos on the 12th of the month. That would be today. I took all of these with my iPhone. I even downloaded Instagram today and was messing around with that. Here are my 12 photos:


1. Spin class!  2. Some new makeup from Estee Lauder (free gift with purchase!)  3. Protein shake #1  4. Protein shake #2  5. Me, drinking aforementioned protein shake  6. Worked on a sewing project today (t-shirt quilt)  7. Mark made bread  8. More sewing project stuff  9. Dinner - shrimp scampi, rice, bread  10. Reading and goofing around with the Kindle Fire  11. Pile of magazines on the coffee table  12. Mark made an espresso.

I had fun playing with all the different Instagram filters. All in all, it's a nice representation of the day. With a very heavy emphasis on breakfast.

The Making of a Meal

Took some of this...




And some of this....



Plus a bit of this....


Added a bit of butter, garlic, white wine....and had a great meal!

And no, we don't eat like this all the time. But some of the time.

My Poor, Ignored Blog

Well helloooooooooo.

It's fall break! I have a minute to say hi! Hi!

Yeah, so, where does the time go? Last I checked it was August and I was frantically trying to get organized and ready to go back to school. It's now mid-October, and I'm already half-way through my first semester of graduate school. It's great! Super busy, but great. I pretty much work part-time, go to school and study. Mark works, makes dinner, does the dishes, the laundry and the grocery shopping. Hmmmm. I should have gone back to school a long time ago!



In spite of being very busy, I am enjoying my classes and learning a lot. Mark has been a huge help - I couldn't have asked for a more supportive, wonderful husband! Mark has been spending his free time keeping a wary eye on the stock market and watching some baseball playoff games. I spend my free time going to the gym and going to an occasional lunch with family or friends.

In other news:


In August, our friends Larissa and Shawn adopted a darling little boy! Five-month-old Christopher has already got those two (and everyone else) wrapped around his little finger! Check out those beautiful eyes!





On September 20th, Katie, Mark and I went on a hike up Mt. Olympus. It was so fun, but that was one hard hike! Well worth it, though. It only took us 3 hours to get to the top!




Last week, I had a the opportunity to go to the Body Worlds exhibit. It was amazing. I highly recommend it.



Fall break has been wonderful - I've been reading novels (Breaking Dawn, for one) and have been able to catch up on some homework. Mark and I took a trip to Wendover, NV last night. While Mark played Texas Hold 'Em, I worked on a scrapbook project. It was fun and relaxing. I know that these next several weeks will go by so quickly, with school and the holidays fast approaching. I will certainly try to check in at least a couple of times between now and winter break, but I'm making no promises! If not, Happy Halloween and Happy Thanksgiving! Ha!

By the way, the journal from my last post - I found it at Barnes & Nobel. It is currently sitting on the shelf collecting dust.

A Photo A Day in 2008

I'm working on a project, a photographic journal of my year. Taking one picture everyday - showing everyday-life stuff. It's been fun, but sometimes it's hard to come up with a subject to photograph. There's a link at the left to all my pictures so far (on Flickr), and you might see there are a lot of food pictures. On the days when I leave for work at 6am and get home at 8pm...well, that doesn't leave a lot of time for that "one shot" that sums up the day - and I can't really take pictures in the OR. So, I snap a picture of dinner! Anyway, take a look if you want. I try to update the photos weekly. So far, I've only missed one day. Have a good day - it's almost Friday!
