They seem to have changed blogger around...it is weird but I think I like it better than the old look.

So...one of my friends needs your thoughts and prayers tomorrow as their other (better?) half goes in for surgery. Jack--we are thinking of you and yours.

Here's the remainder of the photos up to the 25th from my photo of the day challenge.

Day 16. Something new.

 Day 18. Drink

Day 17. Time

 

Day 19. Something you hate to do. I picked picking up broken glass. I did not need to 'fake' this photo.

 Day 20. Handwriting. This is from the diary I kept on my trip to Paris/India this spring.

Day 22. Where you work. This is my office.

 Day 24. Inside the bathroom cabinet. I don't have a cabinet bt this is where I keep all my stuff.

 Day 25. Something green. My tea cozy.

Day 28. Money.

 Day 26. Night.

Day 23. Shoes. Yes, I have more than flip flops...but honestly I wear these evening and weekends...probably the most used shoe in my house.

Day 21. A fave pic of you. I love this picture of me from 2006 when I was in Pangnirtung.

Here's the photo of the day....phone. It is a picture of the blackberry that I wear at/for work. It vibrates when  I get an email or a call is coming in...which is all the time. Even when I'm not wearing it I get phantom vibrations on my hip.

Here's a picture of my living room. I finally got a couple more pictures framed...see water colours on the left side. Top one from Paris, bottom one from Argentina. The prints over the tv are all from Nunavut....and the new glass case on the left for keeping the cats away from my carvings. Awesome.

It's Wednesday night, I'm hanging on the couch watching tv, surfing the net and trying to stay awake until closer to bed time. Hudson is incredibly curled up under the blanket beside me. She has taken to occasionally sleeping under a blanket which is a new thing in the past couple months.

Here's my pics from the photo challenge thus far this month...
These are not in order of day...

Day 1. Your view.

 Day 7. button

 Day 8 Sun (This was from Nunavut, 2007.)

Day 5. 10am (This was the closet to 10am I could find any of my recent photos had been taken)

Day 14 Heart.

I'll try and update more often.

Welcome back to the electronic world of posting. It's been a long time since this website was used.

Why? Dunno. Just not in the mood. I've been busy this past week. I signed up for ball room dancing lessons, met with a girl who I am going to help mentor (HR stuff), and went to a local photography club meeting. Oh yeah, and I went to work.

New Years Eve I googled anti-NY resolutions and found this Challenge website. You can join different areas and they give you small challenges to do each day. The first one I joined was all over the place. One day you find a picture that represents where you want to go, the next day it might be a 1 minute exercise. Then I joined one which is just a different exercise each day. They take less than 2 minutes each day and it just makes me feel good. You can only one 'stream' at a time and for the next 28 days I'm doing a money management one. Today's challenge is to freeze one of my credit cards. And you know what? I'm going to do it. I don't use it anyway but it couldn't hurt to take away the temptation.


Ballroom dancing was fun. I didn't have a partner but was paired up with a gentleman when I got there. He is of course...from India. LOL. I thought that was funny. I suggested he wear his steel toe boots next time so it won't hurt when I step on his feet. The class is 2.5 hours long and last for 8 weeks (I think). So far so good.

The mentoring is new to me. I saw potential in this candidate and while we were not able to hire her I'm hoping to find a way to help her with my HR knowledge. And in turn she is likely going to help me--she's a great photographer and does a lot of people/models. I would like to improve my people shots so it is a win win situation.

The photography club is also new for me. They do a monthly photo challenge and critique each others work. I'm looking forward to that. Feedback is a good thing. And most of them use different photo enhancement type programs so maybe someone will be able to help me get started with learning how to enhance my photos. They only meet one Sunday a month for 2 hours so it isn't a bit time commitment...it might seem like I took on a lot this week but it just happens that they came this weekend. It won't be the same next weekend.

My last little addition is to do a photo a day challenge. I thought it was a 28 day challenge but turns out it was a photo a day for the month of February...so 29 days and I'm already behind by 5 days. I will try and catch up by the end of this week. I'm hoping the daily photo challenge will get my creative juices running again as the photo bug has been missing for a while.
