Big mouth

Leave it to me to open my big mouth at work and tell a friend that so far I haven't gotten any of the crazy viruses that have been going around. The next day I wake up with a sore throat and icky cough!!!! NOooooo!!!!!

Well, maybe it will force me to spend some time at home and FINALLY get caught up on my photo project. I haven't failed yet, but I really need to post almost all of february and up til today... eeeekkk!! a daunting task...

Good News!

I went to a "Wellness Consultation" at my gym, they measured me up and I have lost a grand total of 14.5 inches.

I don't see it personally, but the measurements are there! So go me!

Yesterday Today was Tomorrow

Well I don't feel as invisible anymore.

Having a weird week though, not in the best headspace. I really want to be taking more pictures, because I find picture-taking therapeutic but lately I've just barely managed to get my one-a-day... I stopped posting on here because I'm already posting on Facebook and Flickr, so I'll just post the ones I really really like now and then. Plus I still don't know who reads this and sometimes I don't really know what to share or if I should share at all. Whatever!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Not sure why, I just like the idea of tomorrow!!

???

Have you ever felt invisible?

How long can a person stretch out their birthday? Apparently over a week, in my case. Went out for dinner with my dad to celebrate my birthday! This was my tasty meal, the Honey-Ginger glazed salmon with prawns and scallops. This was at the Frogstone Grill!

023/365: Lost!

Everyone else is just beginning the newest season of Lost, while Jason and I are just beginning the journey... We had never seen it before, and I'll tell ya, I wasn't sure about it after the first disc. I had nightmares. Pretty intense stuff... But this show is addicting. So that is how I spent this Friday night...

22/365: Carnations

January's flower, received from my mom for my birthday this past weekend.

21/365: Success!

I don't bake. My attempts usually fail, so I usually don't try. This day however, I baked scones all by myself, and they worked! There was no smoke, no burnt product, nothing but soft, delicious scones.

Who am I, and what did I do with the real Amanda?

Day 20: Sailor's Warning?

Day 19

Totally blurry, taken with my iPhone (left my camera at home) Sacrificed quality in order to document the QUANTITY of chocolate we had at work. That's right, it's real. And it was yummy.

Catch up time! Days 16, 17, and 18! The birthday series!

Day 16

Birthday present from work!



Day 17: AKA my birthday!

Jason took me to the aquarium!



Day 18

Birthday party at the Gregor's! Tara and I have passed this gift bag back and forth a few times... now it's in my hands again!

Day 15: Fog Ride

Jason went for a night time fog ride around the neighbourhood. I just took pictures.

Day 14: Bible Study

I got home from study a little late, so I had to post today. :)

Day 13: Don't judge me...

...I don't even like beer. People brought these over for a get together on Friday, and I needed a picture for today.

I'm much more a January 9th kind of person.

Day 12: I need a vacation...

I've been daydreaming about the trip we are planning to Disneyland. Both J and I have never been, so we're pretty excited!

Day 11: You're Fired.

Ok no, not fired at all... just reminded me of The Apprentice! Callie is my first person on project 365, because it was her birthday party today! Her birthday was really on New Year's Eve, but since everyone always has their own plans she made her party for tonight. We went out for dinner at a really neat Irish pub in Abbotsford. A very cool building, inside and out. Our party got to sit at this great big table!



And the bonus picture: We hung out with Callie and her husband before the dinner and got an ice cream cake to share. Callie got DQ to put my name on it too, so it was a joint birthday cake party!

Day 10: Superhero Saturday!!!

I imagine that title being announced in a big, booming voiceover. That's what I thought when I picked up these two movies for our relaxing night in.

I really love my popcorn maker.

Day 9: The Bellini

Today we had a few friends over for movies, popcorn, and fun times. I wanted to try out my new Magic Bullet blender from Christmas, so we bought everything we would need to make bellinis. I must say, for a first attempt, they were sooooo good! We only really had enough fruit for one drink per person, which was probably a good thing since I'm fairly sure I made my Magic Bullet angry... I almost overheated it... A tip: crush ice somewhat before blending... I know it's magic and all, but unfortunately it's a lot for the motor. All in all I had a great night with great company, and hopefully we can do that again!

Day 8: Random, but gave me a laugh!

OK so this is probably the most random picture ever. So here's the story: My co worker was trying to un-clump a block of shredded cheese that had been in the freezer. After a few smacks against the counter we had an EXPLOSION of cheese when the bag broke. I included the elephant because today is Thursday and I wanted to participate in Inspire Me Thursday from last week. It's a neat site that provides weekly inspiration for any type of artist.



Gotta love a cute plastic elephant in the midst of a cheese explosion.

Day 6: Some colour.

After yesterday's dreary photos, I figured I'd pull some colour from my life to share.



And here's my bonus photo. This is my friend and supervisor Steph. I love that she looks so serious.
