Snow Day!

Bryan and I had a snow day yesterday! I worked from home and Bryan had the day off. We found a little time to take Bosco for a walk.



We got around 4" of snow Sunday night.





We also got a lot of things done around the house. Such as finally taking down the Christmas stuff, including the tree.



This was the mess I made after I took off all the lights. Next time we won't wait so long.

Project 365

One of my goals for 2011 was to complete Project 365. I've seen others and always liked the idea of taking a picture a day. I love pictures, but am horrible about remembering to take pictures. I also love the idea of journaling, but I'm even worse at that. So my goal this year is to take a picture a day and then create a book to remember the year by. I'll try to remember to post a weekly recap here, but being a good blogger was not a resolution this year... even though it should have been.

Without further ado, my first weekly recap.


January 1st - I had a horrible cold and we spent most of the day lounging around the house watching tv.


Jan 2nd: The donut fairy visited us! Thanks Brett.


January 3rd: My view from the couch. Still sick and enjoyed spending the day with my animals.


January 4th: we enjoyed dinner and Banana pudding at 3 Angels Diner, one of my new favorite restaurants.


January 5th: Back at work, but drinking lots of fluids.


January 6th: Bryan spent this evening in Seattle for his Brooks job interview. Bosco made sure to keep me company though.


January 7th: Waiting Bryan's arrival. I missed him.


January 8th: I had an overwhelming urge to clean, organize, and get rid of stuff... instead of creating a huge project I decided to go through some old magazines.

How to Acheive World Peace

I have a theory on how to finally achieve world peace. Don't steal my idea. I deserve full credit for this! I'll be looking up my intellectual property rights as soon as I finish typing this up.

Okay, so world peace will be achieved if everyone had a taco and cocktail. Think about it. Everyone would be so happy that they wouldn't care about differences in religion, race, or whatever else stirs people up.

Let's dissect this idea. First: tacos. Mmm... you really can't go wrong with a taco. Any kind. Whether is the more authentic version, a fancy fish taco, or a 79 cent taco from Taco Bell, there is a taco for every taste and every mood. I firmly believe that we haven't fully tapped the full capabilities of the taco just yet. Think of all the things we haven't tried yet! After we've all had a taco we can begin work on creating delicious new tacos.

Cocktails. I realize this could be controversial as some people do not drink and for those people, I suppose a mocktail will have to do. I remember once going out to eat with some friends in junior high and we ordered virgin daiquiris. The thrill of a fruity drink with an umbrella was exhilarating. It is still is. They come in all kinds of pretty colors, tastes, fun glasses. How can a cocktail not bring a smile to your face and an ease in your pace?!

You can thank me for this radical world changing idea by bringing me a delicious taco and a fruity cocktail.

And you're welcome.

Tis the Season

Tonight begins our busy holiday and birthday season. I've spent a while this afternoon decorating the fireplaces in our house. When I finally looked at my clock and realized I needed to leave asap, I started scrambling. I quickly finished my project, cleaned up, realized I had forgotten to wrap a present, wrapped the present, changed clothes, and rushed out the door. Once off the street I realized I was off an hour.

Let's try to enjoy this season for what it is: a time to remember why we are here, who loves us, and to enjoy one another. Our purpose in life is not to get things done.

Merry Christmas!
