Project 365 Day 13

I know it's blurry....it's the only one I took today


My Dad and Step mom visited today and we enjoyed a game of Dominoes.

Thanks to......Friday January 12th

Thanks for:
  • A mellow relaxing night at home.
  • Tanning, I know it sounds weird, and I normally don't do it, but it's nice to get a shot of color, especially before an upcoming vacation.
  • Friday! I love the weekends.
  • This cold being almost over.
  • Being curled up, reading a book, being all extra cozy, while it is FREEZING outside.

Moe's paw. I love her little marbled paw. Moe was adopted from the Humane Society, she was fostered before I got her. Her foster family called her Mittens. Yuck.

I know, very random photo, but I just love her little paw.

Project 365 Day 11

Hennepin county doesn't allow smoking in bars. JJ's, that smart bar, leaves these little cards to put out in the case you needed to step out to take care of your needs.

No, I don't smoke, I just thought these were cool.

Project 365


My mom was in town from the sunny (and humid) state of Florida this evening. I made some Fajitas and we had a nice dinner.

Yeah, I know, DJ looks drunk. He refused to keep his eves open for the camera.

Project 365 Day 9


Random View of Minneapolis on my drive home this evening.

The more I go through this thing, the more I realize I miss a window of opportunity for a good pic. We had book club tonite and I had the cutest dog on my lap most of the evening. He's a great dog and he loves me. Did I think to take a pic of the cute dog? Not at all. I would rather take one driving down the freeway at 65 mph.

I am thankful for:
  • My friend T (a shoutout to Jersey). I miss him and enjoy our phone conversations

  • The sunshine today

Project 365 Day 7

When in doubt take cato pictures.

Duff, sleeping (which he does very well)


And Murphy....looking peeved.


She also does that very well.

Please note, I am still getting used to taking pics without them being blurry. I can't hold the camera still to save my soul. I am working on it. That is part of the learning process of this project.

Project 365 Day 5

Happy First Friday of Jan 07. Here is my pic today:

A couple of guys and I usually go out for a beer (or two) after work on Fridays. We haven't gathered in a while. There you go.

And Later......


Cafe Bicko. DJ and I headed for some kick ass deep dish pizza. I must admit, I am somewhat bummed, because there is a million pizza joints I would like to try, but DJ loves the Bicko. It's like crack to him. You can't blame the guy though. It's some tasty stuff.

P.S. The above photo obviously wasn't taken by me. The first one was, so I filled my obligation for today.

Here is my image for today:


This was taken on my drive home from work as I rounded Cedar Lake. It was cloudy and gray in Minneapolis today. Kinda makes your mood somber.

Quote of the Day

Would that there were an award for people who come to understand the concept of enough. Good enough. Successful enough. Thin enough. Rich enough. Socially responsible enough. When you have self-respect you have enough.
