190/365 - Grass

My nephew came over today to help us with a garage sale. During some of the downtime, we caught him weaving grass through his leg hair.

Weirdo.

Time: 2:45pm
Place: Front yard



157/365 - Grandma

About one year ago, my grandma died. She lived in AZ most of my life, so we weren't particularly close. (Nothing against AZ other than it's super far away from MN). Still, it was fun to gather with family in her honor. There was lots of reminiscing from my dad and his siblings.

At the luncheon following the service, there were cacti on all the table. I brought this one home with me, and it's been on my desk at work ever since.

Time: 8:00am
Place: Desk

Apparently, my grandma loved cacti!

One of her sons called her the Cactus Lady.

Now, I can think of her from time to time whenever I look at this little cactus on my desk.

156/365 - Fridge

Are you ready for summer?! It's been a gorgeously HOT weekend.

I'm loving it! :)

We stocked up our fridge with all kinds of yummy beverages

that make me think of summer.

Time: 10pm
Place: Kitchen

What is your favorite summertime drink?

No Day 154 or 155. Double sad face. :( :(

132/365 - High Heel Dash

Jasper met me downtown after work tonight to watch the High Heel Dash.

Time: 5:30pm
Place: Downtown

Unfortunately, it was a drizzly evening, and there weren't very many runners.

Kind of a bummer.

It was still very fun to watch, and I totally wanna run this next year!

Here were the rules for the race:

Must be 18 + 

Heels must be 3" or higher (no wedges).

No adhesives may be used to secure shoes to feet.

Knee pads, helmets & wrist guards are encouraged.

131/365 - Sweaty

Got a little sweat mark on my shirt...while shopping at Target.

Ok. Maybe I'd stopped in the bathroom to, well, you know, take care of something.

Time: 5:15pm
Place: Target

127/365 - Jenga

We went to a local pub to celebrate a friend's birthday tonight. It's kind of a cool place. In addition to regular restaurant dining tables and chairs, there are also lots of couches scattered throughout. They provide lots of board games to play while you're there. Our friend also brought Jenga, and we couldn't help but play.

Time: 11:00pm
Place: Pub

Trust me when I say this tower was really impressive. It's a little tough to tell in this photo, but it's all balance on one center piece at the bottom.

I think the game actually continued a couple more rounds after this one.

We were awesome!

124/365 - Sign

I stumbled upon this sign the other day while walking to work.

I'm sure it's not a new sign, but I just noticed it.

Time: 5:15pm
Place: Sidewalk

Seriously?!

Is this sign necessary?

Do we really need a SIGN to tell police officers not to block the sidewalk?

Sheesh!

106/365 - Phone

Ok. So, I didn't actually take any pictures today. :(

I was too busy setting up my new phone!

85/365 - Pillow

Today, I spent the day as a model on a video shoot for some orthopedic pillows.

As part of my compensation, I got to take one home with me.

Mmm....Comfy!

Time: 10:30pm
Place: Bedroom

80/365 - Bruise

I missed taking a picture yesterday...and I nearly missed again today!

Here's a quick snap of an odd bruise I discovered on my tummy after Saturday's party. I bruise pretty easily, so it's not at all unusual for a random bruise to appear. Still, for some reason this little one struck me as odd. Perhaps it was the size or the placement.

I don't know.

All I know is I didn't miss two days in a row! :)

Time: 11:20pm
Place: Bedroom

77/365 - Overstuffed

I stopped at Target on my way home from work. I didn't want to get a bag, so I tried to stuff everything into my purse. Good thing I have a big purse. :)

Time: 5:15pm
Place: Shuttle



62/365 - Warm Coat

Oh Drat! I completely missed taking pictures both Tuesday and Wednesday this week!! Bummer. Oh well. I guess nothing exciting happened those days. :)

So, I'll just pick right up with Day 62.

I snapped this picture in the skyway this morning on my way into work. This is the kind of coat I wished I'd had all winter long. It looks so cozy warm, and it's nearly down to her ankles! Perhaps with a coat that long, I would've worn more skirts this winter.

Time: 7:45am
Place: Skyway

Here's hoping spring is just around the corner!!

35/365 - Why

As I was waiting for my shuttle after work tonight, I noticed this butter knife lying on the sidewalk.

Why? 

*rollover* When I got home from work, my skirt had worked its way sideways under my coat. Why?

*****
Ok, I'll admit. This post made a lot more sense and seemed a lot less lame in my head. Oh well. At least I got a pic up. At least I was thinking about taking pictures when these oddities occurred.
