Day 15: Action

Okay so most of y'all will think this is gross, but it cracked me up. After Day 12's sunflare challenge, I tried to get some more shots of one. Maddy interrupted this one with some action :)

Day 14: Someone you Love

I love a lot of people and was struggling with how to squeeze everyone into a shot (logistically impossible). Then I saw my husband and the cat on the couch. And I melted and fell in love with him all over again.

Day 13: Reminds You of Childhood

This basket of suckers was a welcome addition to the office.

Day 12: Sun Flare

Not sure if this really counts as sun flare, but here you go:

And as an added bonus, a rainbow!

Day 11: Silhouette

I took this picture out back in our garden. Al was unloading some composted manure and I was supervising :)

Day 10: Animal

It's impossible NOT to share a ton of photos w/this one. Between a dog and a cat, we have lots of critter photo ops. However, we get some guests from time to time. Like this little fella who was outside our kitchen window:

Let me zoom in a little for you...

Is that not the most precious thing ever? I was almost late to work b/c I just couldn't pull myself away from the window. He (or she?) was so cute to watch.

Speaking of cute...

This little turd will be the death of me. His sheer cuteness is all that keeps me from killing him some days (though I wouldn't REALLY kill him. I just threaten it). There are about 5 minutes in the day where he's so sweet and snuggly it makes up for all the times he's bitten me.

Day 9: Fresh Fruit

This is a major fail. haha I might have had fresh fruit, but I also had the cookie the fruit cup is sitting on too. YUM!

Day 8: Sunset

I've gotten a little behind w/these and am playing catch-up today - my apologies for bombarding you with posts!

We have some of the prettiest sunsets. I'm not sure if it's b/c I'm just THAT in love w/our place or what, but I think they're prettier there than any other place.

Day 7: High Angle

I'm always amused by the floor in the elevator at work. The building is old and run down, but the elevator has a great floor.

Day 6: Books

Al likes to read 6-10 books at once. It drives me nuts, but there are worse things a husband could do.

Day 5: Breakfast Today

Breakfast today was much like every other morning: coffee.

Day 4: Clouds

Saturday was mostly cloud-free in Louisville. It was hazy and cloudy earlier in the day, but of course I didn't think to take a pic then.

My daddy had open heart surgery to replace his aortic valve on Friday (hence the aforementioned busy weekend). This pic was snapped out his hospital room window. That's Indiana over yonder ;)

Daddy's recovering nicely and should be home tomorrow or Wednesday. He'll be much more comfortable then despite the excellent care he's received at the hospital. Nothing sleeps like your own bed, right?

Day 3: Hands

I had quite the busy weekend, so I'm playing catch-up with these posts :)

In the 21 months Al and I have been married, I've not taken off my wedding band. It wasn't for any reason in particular, I just hadn't done it. After a while, it became a matter of principle. I took them to the jeweler to have the rhodium plating refinished and my finger felt naked. So I tired a ribbon on it :)

The after. Looks like new!!!!

And as a bonus, I tried sprouting lentils last week. I let them go a day or two too long and they are sprouts AND roots :) Whoops!

Day 2: Favorite Shoes

These aren't my absolute favorite shoes (those are the Louboutins I wore at my wedding), but they're my favorite wear-to-work shoes:

They are Cole Haan Carma OT Air Pumps in pewter. I snagged them at the Zappos/6pm.com outlet for $50 or 60. I wish I had them in every color and that they'd always be $50 :)

If you ever are in the market for a well-made, comfortable pair of heels, I highly recommend Cole Haan w/the Nike Air technology. I stomp around in these for a full work day and they've yet to ever hurt my feet.

Day 1: Self Portrait

Y'all know how much I love taking pics of myself. hahaha This is a pretty terrible pic as it's grainy and what-have-you, but it is what it is.
