Delusions of... Everything

Photo a Day in February: Day 15 - 19

Wow, I'm really not very good about posting these Photos a Day in a timely manner...

Day 15:  Phone

This is my phone at work.  Happily I can report that it doesn't ring very often and when it does it's usually someone I enjoy talking to.

(notice how I didn't take this until the 17th?!  I kept forgetting while I was at work.)

Day 16:  Something New

This cutie patootie was given to me by my family for Christmas.  I love it, especially since I'm the only one who drinks coffee in our house.  Now I have a fresh cup every time... So sweet!

Day 17:  Time

Sorry about the blur, it was the only clock available and I just couldn't get a clear shot.  I wanted to do a fancy shot of "the passage of time", but I never got around to doing it.  So here you go!

Day 18: Drink

The picture says it all!

Day 19:  Something you hate to do

My daughter and I went to the mall today and while I don't necessarily like going there, I don't HATE it.  Especially when I get yummy lotion and bath goodies from Lush.  But I do hate waiting at traffic signals or in traffic period.

Photo a Day in February: Day 12 - 14

Got behind on my photo of the day posting.  Oh well, life happens or sometimes you just need to veg out on the sofa reading a book for days on end.  At least I took the pictures, even if I didn't post them in a timely manner.

Day 12:  Inside your closet

This is my side of the closet.  It's a lot messier than I really want it to be, but oh well.

Day 13:  Blue

This is a gift from one of my good friends for my birthday.  She found this at the rummage sale at the Pike Place Market.  I love it.  I have it hanging in the bathroom right now, but as soon as the weather improves and I'm spending more time on the patio I'll hang it out there.

Day 14:  Heart

For Valentine's Day I got my son heart shaped straws.  He's always complaining we don't have any straws, not he has a whole package of his own.  No more complaining, haha!

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's day!

Photo a Day in February: Day 10 and 11

Oops, I forgot to post yesterday.

Day 10:  Self Portrait

I spent a large amount of time trying to take a self portrait of my face, or my ear, or my upper body with my phone and spent most of the time laughing at the results, some were so blurry I wasn't sure what I shot.  I wish I would have saved instead of instantly deleting them because I could have posted them and all of you could have had a good laugh!  I ended up with this shot.

I got those Merrill shoes at the thrift store a while ago and I love them.

I was trying to get self portrait of my upper body because I got the results of Monday's mammogram back on Friday and it was negative.  I'm good for another year!  Tonight I'm going to a fundraiser dinner for one of my friends who has breast cancer.  She's young and thankfully got a mammogram simply because her nipples were hurting.  They found not only breast cancer, but a few days later found it in her bones too.  It's been hard to swallow that a 40 year old vibrant, active woman with two young boys could be riddled with cancer.

Please, please, please if you are due, go get your mammogram!

Day 11:  Makes You Happy

Last night, when I should have been in bed, I decided to watch the Pearl Jam 20 Movie (for the 50th 4th time).  What?!  It's been a couple months since I watched it!  My phone was on the charger next to me and I knew that today's theme was something about what makes me happy, and this band certainly qualifies as making me happy.  It was after 11:00 (close enough to being Feb 11) and the movie was almost over so I started snapping pictures of the TV with my phone.  As with the self portrait I took a bunch of really bad shots and even the shot I chose to use is not that good, but it would be hard for me to think of anything that brings me more joy than listening to and/or watching Pearl Jam perform.

Have a great Saturday and remember... Write yourself a note to make an appointment for a mammogram first thing Monday!  Please!

 

Photo a Day in February: Day 9

The theme for today is front door.

Photo a Day in February: Day 8

The theme for February 8th is Sun.   We've had many days of gorgeous sunshine, unfortunately today was not one of those days.

This is as much of the sun as I saw today.

A couple of people have inquired about my new phone.  Not only did I get a new phone, but we also switched carriers.  We have been long time customers of T-Mobile.  Their phone and plan selection was not very desirable and we've had issues with customer service.  After doing research Handy Man decided on Sprint.  First and foremost they offer unlimited data, which is what we all wanted.  They also carry the iPhone, which I thought I wanted.

I've been a long time user of Samsung phones, they  have never failed me so when they showed me the Samsung Galaxy S II, Epic 4G at the Sprint store it didn't take much convincing for me to choose it over the iPhone.  It's a 4G!  It's every bit as sleek and sexy as an iPhone.  It can hold most of my music, it takes pictures, there are all kinds of free apps for game playing, Kindle, weather, etc, etc.

Yes I am in love!

Photo a Day in February: Day 7

The theme for February 7th is Button.

These buttons on my Nintendo DS are very lonely since I got my new phone.  I've been playing all my games on it instead of the DS.  I don't know if I'll use my DS much anymore.  I'm in love with my phone!

Photo a Day in February: Days 5 & 6

Day 5:  10AM

Taken at work on Monday Feb 6 at 10AM.

Day 6:  Dinner

My dinner on Monday Feb 6.

Now I am caught up, tomorrow I'll be right on schedule.

Photo a Day in February: Days 1-4

My friend Meg is doing this photo a day thing on her blog and I decided to follow along.

Since I'm late to the party I will be playing catch up over the next couple days.

I plan to take each photo with my new phone!  I finally got a phone that's smarter than me.  I figure this will be a good time to learn to use the camera and the photo editing on the phone.  The phone has more photo editing software than my laptop does, haha!

These first few photos I have not edited because I noticed the editing button after I uploaded them to the computer.

Day 1: Your view today

 Taken Saturday Feb 4, the view out my window.  Gorgeous sunrise!

Day 2: Words

Taken Feb 4, words I've read or are waiting to be read!

Day 3: Hands

Taken Feb 5, 2012, the hand of my lovely daughter.

Day 4:  A stranger

Taken Feb 4, 2012.  I went on an urban hike before the big game Sunday.  On our way home I snapped this picture of strangers outside a corner tavern.

Sing-a-long Saturday

I love this man!

Neil Young - Harvest Moon

 

Three on Thursday

Yes it's icy in Seattle today.  The National Weather Service has issued an ice storm warning.  It's 28 degrees and there are little ice balls falling from the sky, I can hear them hitting the kitchen window.  I have a fire going downstairs, where the insert is, just in case the power goes out.  My lap top is fully charged, as is my phone and DS.  Bring it on!

I hope all my NW friends are staying warm and off the roads!
