missing days

I missed TWO days of my Project 365. Uh-oh.

The first night (Wednesday), I just completely forgot to even think about it. Last night (Friday), I remembered just as I got into bed. By that time I just really couldn’t be stuffed to get out of bed and take a photo of something, just to get it out of the way. The warm bed won, hands down. Eh.

So now, Project 365 is two days off. Does that mean I’m disqualified?

In other news, today is SUSHI SATURDAY!!! Friends are coming over so that we can show them how to make sushi. I’m all stocked up on sushi rice, rice vinegar, nori sheets, chicken, salmon and even eel. Hmm…sushi indulgence tonight!

Also, the weather is still quite despicable. Gloomy, foggy and the threat of rain looms. I want to look at beach photos just to balance things out. I crave sunshine and a natural dose of Vitamin D.

To end, here’s a couple of photos that did make the Project 365 cut:

sunday.

My day went a little something like this:

+ Woke up with a sinus headache. At least I think it’s a sinus headache. Or maybe it’s a headache associated with teeth grinding? Perhaps…and I only say that because for the past 2 nights, I’ve been taking my mouth guard off when dawn breaks. Somehow my subconscious feels it’s alright to take it off a little early.

+ Met the in-laws at Cracker Barrel for brunch. I had the Mushroom Chicken Salad. With a dash of coffee (thanks to the waitress spilling some in my salad when she poured my Father-in-Law’s coffee. FAIL). Salad was so-so. But I felt like I owed it to myself to have something light (mind you, the salad had a crapload of blue cheese, an equal amount of bacon and grilled chicken). I was hungry by 2pm.

+ Went to Home Depot and started researching how much “Square Foot Gardening” is going to cost us this Spring. Lumber is affordable. It’s all that peat moss, vermiculite and compost that’s going to cost a pretty penny.

+ Visited Sam’s Club and bought BIG everything. I love bulk shopping!

+ Drove to Jeff City and visited TJ Maxx & Pier 1 Imports. Cleaned out those gift cards that were burning a hole in my pocket. I love clearance items. I do, I do, I do!

+ Went to the grocery store and bought a whole car full of chicken and ground beef. And to make myself feel healthy, I chucked in some greens and lots of fruit!

+ Came home and cooked 9 rolls of sushi. And ate 6 rolls worth an hour later. GLUTTONS. Yes.

And before I go, here’s today’s Project 365 photo:

The plates on clearance I hauled from Pier 1 Imports. $1.98 each, down from $8 (aka RIP OFF!)

playing catch up

Oh what a beautiful morning….NOT! In fact, it’s foggy/misty and just downright bleh.

I suppose I should be grateful that it’s not snowing. There’s my silver lining right there…

What’s up with me lately?

Well…
+ Work. (surprise, surprise)
+ Eating really badly. You know, fried and fatty. The good stuff.
+ Freaking out about the lack of time in the day. I need a pause button. And a nap.
+ Dreaming of Australia.
+ Watching a whole lot of Dexter, Big Love & Criminal Minds. Big bummer is, Netflix doesn’t have Dexter Season 3 on Instant Queue and we tried renting the discs at Blockbuster only to be told that Disc 2 had been stolen by somebody. Then what’s the point? And we don’t really want to buy the discs since I wouldn’t consider Dexter a show I’d like to re-watch multiple times.
+ I have lost my point and shoot camera. It is nowhere to be found.
+ I have a $50 VISA card from US Cellular (phone rebate) to spend this weekend. I am beyond delighted about this.
+ I have been wearing a night mouth guard to sleep each night this week and I believe it has made a difference in my TMJ issues. Goodbye, teeth grinding, hello healthy jaw.
+ Life is good, as a whole.

And here’s a few days worth of Project 365 photos:

I raided the library.

2-in-1 post

No Project 365 post yesterday. I was kinda lazy. But I still took a photo. So here’s yesterday’s and today’s, in one post:

Look at all that snow!

And look at all those books!

I love the library.
