Something Wicked This Way Comes

Day: 390

Photo taken on Friday, August 26, 2011 at my desk at 822am.

I'm going to give Professor Trelawney a run for her money here...

I think I see The Grim at the bottom of my green tea.

Hmmm...wonder why? What could possibly be happening this weekend?

Ryuzaki

Day: 369

Photo taken on Friday, August 5, 2011 in the living room at 727pm.

Steve is all comfortable on the couch, relaxing in front of Asuma when I stroll in from work and decide to squish in beside him. Without even realizing it, I try to read the soosh menu while in this small space and my elbows turn up and my hands hold only the corners. Steve remarks how "L like" I am at the moment so I snap the picture and then order us some really good rolls from Roppongi. Life is good.

Bowled Over

Day: 367

Photo taken on Wednesday, August 3, 2011 in the living room at 740pm. (Pictured: The Bowl, Heather, me, Steve, and Justin)

Chef Steve strikes again! This time we invite Heather and Justin to taste his exquisite cuisine. Tonight we are dining on thick chicken cutlets seasoned with Italian breadcrumbs and stuffed with ham and swiss, Stove Top stuffing, boxed mashed potatoes, jarred chicken gravy, and fresh asparagus. Okay, so maybe we have to work on the ingredients being more homemade but 2 out of 5 ain't bad.

The Outback Approach

Day: 366

Photo taken on Tuesday, August 2, 2011 on the back porch at Angelface & Kim's house at 1131pm. (Pictured from my big ass head: Steve, Angelface holding his lovable pup, Kevin, Elisa, and Kim F. soon to be M!)

So it's been a year and when I go to put the BLOG to rest I get many requests to continue. I had no idea that my pictures and writing actually entertain some people and that they look forward to where my days lead me. It takes some convincing on their part but in the end, here I am. Though things are going to change this time around:
  1. No more writing out the numbers. It's getting too wordy.
  2. The picture no longer has to be a selfer in order to get the shot I want. Making it a self portrait limited a lot of potential and I also felt really silly when strangers offered to take the picture for me and I had to explain to them why they couldn't and that it had to sit on top of a dirty trash can on a self timer.
  3. I don't necessarily have to be in it, just in the vicinity. Sometimes pictures need no people.
  4. I'm going to post the daily everyday and I might not write anything about it until I feel like it. The reason being, I have a lot of upcoming projects that need more attention and I seriously have to get a move on with bettering my future financially.
  5. That's it. There is no 5, sorry.

Tonight we are invited over for a delicious home-cooked meal and lots of laughs by our generous hosts, Angelface and Kim. It bothers me a bit today when I realize that the four lovely folks pictured with me never make it into the BLOG in the first year. I had seen them but maybe the picture had been done for the day or I simply forgot and snapped it when I got home. I don't like that, so it needs to change.

I have high hopes for this year and I want you to be a part of it. I lost a good friend this past year because I was accused of ignoring them and excluding them from get-togethers. This is never the case with me and I apologize to those who read this BLOG and feel they are excluded. No one is ever left behind in my book. If you want to hang out, give me your number or if you're unavailable when I invite you out, extend me an invitation the next time you go out. I am very outgoing, open-minded, and caring but sometimes I don't know who really wants to go see a Jackie Chan movie so just let me know if you want to take part in something fun and I'll gladly let you in on my life journey.

I'm a pretty simple person and I don't ask much. What I do ask of everyone is respect: for me, for my loved ones, and for the life I choose to lead. I'm not perfect and I make tons of mistakes so this year I'm making an even greater effort to be conscious of my decisions and not sweat the small stuff. I think we can make this a really great year so let's live it up!

Tazo Tea

Day: Two Hundred and Sixty Nine

Photo taken on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 in the medical records room at 825am.

Steve has turned me on to a "grown up" drink at Starbucks. Instead of the usual hot chocolate, I now like a tall soy chai. I am proud of myself for trying a different beverage though Bossdad doesn't feel very manly ordering my new drink of choice.

Back to the Grind

Day: Two Hundred and Sixty Eight

Photo taken on Tuesday, April 26, 2011 at my desk in The Surge at 211pm.

In order to keep the bloating and pain at bay, I have been drinking my meals while at The Surge and just eating dinner once I am home. So far it has been working very nicely and normally I would feel like I am starving but I am so busy with my workload that I don't even notice that lunch time was two hours ago.

Though my stomach does not like this at all today. After four days of eating like a queen down in Virginia, it is growling at me. My stomach is like, "WTF?! Where's the awesome food?!"
