All I Wanna Say Is... They Don't Really Care About Us

First of all... a recap of my Project 365 pictures. January 16 - 26

Yes, I have two pictures for the 17th, it was a good day for photos. :)

I still don't have my car back. Hopefully Sweetie will be home by this weekend. We have been running for months now. I requested Monday off. It was very much needed. I wish Lee could take one too. Every weekend we have been doing something. He is tackling a new semester and trying to finish up his certification too. He is kicking ass and taking names, really, he is. I'm so proud of him. I got another cyst. Hence the picture for the 18th... haha. The doctor put me on Vicodin -- finally! All is okay now, kinda over the ovarian cyst thing though. Enough is enough.

I got the Michael Jackson movie today. Jen took my on lunch. :) YAY. I love it. He is an amazing musician. He may have had an interesting life that some liked or disliked, but he was an amazing musician. You really believe in his music watching this movie, watching him perform.

Work has been incredibly hard lately. I don't really like to talk about it, nor blog about it. But it has been a bit overwhelming. I did an interview for the news station here today after the city council meeting. You can view the clip HERE. To all of you animal lovers, all we need is support.

Inspiration keeps coming.

I think I have been doing pretty well with the picture a day project. Here are the ones for the last few days :)

Work has been pretty busy lately and about to get more so with school about to start and the students with a need of community service.

My car, Sweetie, will be getting evaluated on Monday by the Ford inspectors. They need to come look at her and make sure that her FOURTH engine will be under warranty - it's crazy! The guy at Ford called me and said "Sweetie ate another engine..." That is never something you want to hear. But it's easier to take when you know the engine is the only thing covered by warranty. I will be sure to keep you all posted. Really wish Ford would just give us a voucher for a new car, it could be a plea to never work on her again... haha.

Went to one of the mobile adoptions today, it was pretty fun. Then came home and finished the crock pot dinner. Made Italian chicken and potatoes, yum! Rebecca & Rob came over and we ate some dinner, played with the dogs and played Hearts. Not very good at Hearts, actually, I suck. But with practice I'm sure that would be a fun game.

Resting tomorrow. Lee has off Monday, I work - BOO!

The way you're making me feel...

Jamming Michael Jackson music... love it. Loved the movie too. Can't wait for it to come out on video. If you haven't seen it, whether you love MJ or hate him, you should at least see it. Keep an open mind. I love him so much more. Sammie walked in a hater and walked out a believer. It can happen to you. :)

Sharing more of my Project 365 pictures. Still going strong. I tried this project in 2007 and kept it strong for about 3-4 months, let's beat that this time.

Car troubles again. Sweetie, my 2001 Ford Escort, is in the shop in Huntsville. She made it there and will stay there until we know if the work that she needs is covered over the insurance or not. Lets hope that it is. Thank goodness for great friends. We had a few offer to come and pick us up. Xavier was our knight in shining armor. He drove from CS to Huntsville and back. Of course we pampered him with Wing Stop and gas money, but we are so thankful.

Today would have been Allison's #23 birthday. I miss you so much Ally. <3

The Holidays

Finally home, unpacked and laundry is done...
Now it's just about time to head back to reality, back to work.

Thought I would share a few pictures.
We had a good Christmas, with snow, in Dallas.

And a great New Years Christmas in Austin.

Also, I have started Project 365 again, thanks to my sisters peer pressure :) I take a picture a day normally anyways, whether it is the digital cam  or my cell phone camera. So, let's see how this goes.

Just in case you don't know what Project 365 is...

People will often say that their whole lives flashed before their eyes after they experienced a traumatic event. Perhaps it’s a bit morbid, but we think that sounds pretty incredible.

When Taylor McKnight started taking a photo a day on January 1st, 2004, he never imagined the project would not only serve as a way to remember a year, but also help him understand what was important to him in his life.

Whether it was his relationships, his career, or his fashion sense, recording a photo a day for a whole year left him with a rich visual history of his life. And it made him a better photographer to boot!

Now that he’s in the middle of doing it for a second time, we asked Taylor to write about it for us. Read on for our tutorial on how and why to create your own daily photographic history.
