untitled

I was apparently not ready for this challenge. I really wanted it to work and I really wanted to do it, but I just don't have the time or inclination. I'm not going to delete it just yet in case I decide I want to pick it up again.

Sorry to disappoint. Maybe when I come back I'll really be ready.

42: pumpkin spice kisses

These should not be allowed in my home. To my credit, I've only eaten 4 so far...

41: gold shoes

These are my new favorite shoes. They're also sold in a sparkly black and I'm already plotting to buy them. Best part, they're from Target and I got them on clearance. Day. Made.

40: scarves

My scarf hanger. Also, I would like more scarves. :)

39: new best friend

So I know this isn't the best picture, but I had to share. Louis has found a new best friend in the form of my space heater.

38: halloween owl

Let the holiday decorating begin!

37: Apple Pumpkin

My new favorite fall scent.

36: thread jars

I reallllly want to stitch something...

35: progress

It's nowhere near perfect but here's where all the boxes used to be.

34: i heart spinach

my first ever spinach smoothie!

33: pipe

i think he got this one in Turkey?...

32: office

The view from my "office."

31: coffee

One of my favorite coffee mugs. I could also go for some beignets right about now.

30: boxes

The embarrassingly large pile of yet to be unpacked boxes in my office.

29: thread

I want to cross-stitch.

28: the state of my desk

This is what my computer looks like how that I work from home. Come to think of it...there were sticky notes all over my monitor even when I didn't work from home.

27: beware of canoes

I'm not 100% sure what to think about this sign. It's right next to a bike path by my house. There is a little canal by the path, but i'm not sure the sign is visible from the water.

So if the sign is for water craft...fail.

And if the sign is for bikers and pedestrians...are the canoes particularly aggressive in Nebraska?

reset

Obviously I have gotten a little behind. I was trying to keep up by backdating sometimes but today I just want to hit the reset button. And I figured it's my blog so I can do what I want right? ;) So starting today I'm going to really really really try to post for real every day. I'm alright with scheduling posts ahead of time but I'm going to try and avoid backdating. I'm sure you all really wanted to know that. But anyway, that's why there's going to be a little gap in days.

I hope you'll all stick around and give me lots of feedback so I can maybe one day call myself an amateur photographer not just a girl who likes to play with her husband's camera.

I hope you all have a wonderful day! :)

26: lipstick mason jar

i finally found a good place to keep all of my lip gloss/lipstick/lip-whatevers...

25: rainy night

24: favorite daytime spot

my dogs are always on the lookout for potential threats things to bark at. from this spot they can see out the big picture window in the front. and we live on a corner so there's lots to see bark at

23: RIP favorite pen

i have a thing about pens. i'm picky and i love them. i've had this one for 3 years. and today it died. *sigh* i guess that means I get to go pick out a new one!

1: Welcome!

Welcome to my 365 blog! I first must admit that I got my idea from this talented lady. If you're familiar with my regular blog you may know that I often comment on how I'd really like to improve upon my non-existant photography skills. Solution: start a 365 blog and learn because I'm forcing myself to post at least one picture every day. (Hence the 365.) I would really like this to be more about images and less about words, so I'm going to try and keep the descriptions pretty short. So without further adieu, I give you the very first picture of my 365 blog.
