Where It All Began: January 20, 2009

Two years ago today I took this photo...


...and began my Project 365 experience. Taking a photo a day every day for a year to document a year of your life. I ended up doing it for two years. It forced me to take photos, carry my camera wherever I went and to document even the most boring of days. This blog is a product of that experience. I'm ending where I began. I'll be blogging at Point Focus Flash with some other great people. That's where you can find me.

A representative from a printing company came to the office today and after introducing his companies capabilities to me, he sliced a pineapple. He told me that pineapples were a symbol of hospitality and that in an effort to be healthier, he switched out candy treats for a delicious pineapple.

This is ironic since I didn't eat dinner tonight. I came home, sleep deprived and with a huge headache and went straight to bed. I had intended this jar to be a place where I write down names of restaurants that look interesting in hopes that when I don't have ideas of a place to go, I have a little jar of ideas!

It was not as sunny out today as this photo would suggest. It was freezing rain. Not just rain, not snow, but freezing rain. How pleasant. How... Monday.

"In 2001, Nantucket won the Best Island award from the readers of Travel and Leisure."
No offense to Nantucket but I think the Best Island award should go to Saint Croix . . .



Or definitely the Best Island View award.

Came down with something this weekend. Felt awful all day Sunday. I have tried a new home remedy: Chocolate milk with honey. It sounds disgusting... I know, but I don't drink straight milk (hence the chocolate) and people LOVE honey. I've been told tea without honey just isn't good tea. I beg to differ but I do see the appeal.

Drip, drip, drip. Nothing worse than a leaky faucet.

This is the Capitol Building at the U.S. Botanical Gardens. I went to visit their "Season's Greetings" event and found these Washington landmarks all made with plant materials.

I made taco pie for New Years Eve (thanks to Mom's recipe) and it went over really well!
