Project 365-Who Needs Coffee?

stamper — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 23:40:01 +0000

Since my hopes of purchasing Becky Higgins Project 365 kit have been dashed (sold out before I got a chance to get one). I’ve decided to just keep a journal and attempt a photo a day to show ‘a day in my life’ for one whole year. Whether or not I keep it up remains to be seen, but twelve days have passed and I’m right on schedule. Of course there are the basement updates, but the two favorite photos are (not shown) Ryan and I reading magazines in the tub and this one, my current weakness. It all started as a slow snacking on York Peppermint Patties at school, just one or two per week on my way through the lounge to a burning desire to actually visit the lounge IN HOPES that there would be a bag and then to actually receiving them by the carton from Sam’s Club as a New Year’s “gift”. I know it sounds strange, but I’ve deemed them “the best food on the planet!” I don’t eat toast and don’t drink coffee but thought this picture of my morning “fix” on the counter should definitely define one day in my life. Bet you can’t wait to see what other quirky photos show up!

Last day before holiday break

The U will be closing down tomorrow, I’m quite excited for some down time. I’ve been thinking of how much stuff happened this year. As the saying goes time flies, but in my case it seems like this has been a very long year. Not good or bad, just long. I’m inspired by thebroekerbunch, great posts and I loved their Christmas card that goes quite well with the theme of their blog!

We celebrated Trevor’s 11th birthday this week, and well, we’re already to Christmas. We had our annual Jensen Boelus Christmas yesterday as well.We had a lot of fun, Russ always puts on a great party. We missed all the loved ones that were not with us, though in spirit they were alive and well. We won’t forget the enjoyable memories we’ve had with everyone through the years. Russ was playing an old video that someone had taken of one of the Christmas’ past.

How could I forget the anxious window peers. Ryan and Marcus, my nephew are discussing whether or not Santa was going to arrive soon.

New look

No I didn’t get a facelift, tummy tuck or whatever else fits in the category, but as you can see the blog did. I’ve upgraded to the newest version and have gotten rid of as much of the customization as I could to accommodate easier upgrades in the future. It’s always fun to look at the different looks (or skins as the techie would say), ways of displaying information and what have you. Amy is getting ready for a scrap day with her friends. I’ll be mowing the yard, enjoying the little boys, and maybe hit a movie.

I’ve been preparing for a presentation for the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District. They’ve asked me to teach them the reigns of podcasting and how it might be another way to increase their reach to their stakeholders, customers, and constituents.

Let me know what you think of the look, post a comment for once if you are reading. Always nice to know if someone is out there…ttl.
