3. I still hate snow.

I also hate the flu. I've been dying since Saturday therefore no way in hell am I being creative right now. There's also currently a snow storm raging outside my window. I may be staying home tomorrow, both in protest of not getting snow days and in the spirit of trying not to infect the entire office. Which I've probably already done, I got so many pitying looks today on top of the disgust.

This is what my night is consisting of. This, my care package from my Mom (I LOVE HER) and Glee. Puffs Plus with Vicks tissues, Ricola cough drops, Advil Cold & Sinus, Contact C Cold & Sore Throat, and Breathe Right strips. LOVE.

Must go watch Glee. Also love. Til next time!

Project 52: Week 3 & 4

No ranting today, I think I'm getting a flu. Boo hiss on my immune system. Anyways, here's the Week 3 & 4 pictures, will possibly post again tonight if I don't go to sleep at like 5.

Week 3: Shades of Grey - A light on the shed in my backyard. I feel like I can see the cold looking at this. 

Week 4: Soothing Repetition - This may seem strange to some, but my Blackberry provides me with soothing repetition of knowing my boyfriend is safe. The communication and texting for me really calms me down and lets me know that he's okay. I use my phone to communicate with my parents too, but more on the calling side of things. Texting may be a little juvenile sometimes, but it really just keeps me sane.

 

Project 52: Week 1 & 2

Project 52 is this really cool thing started by a group of photographers, under MCP Actions. Lots of photoshop tutorials, which I don't have and probably wouldn't use, but the idea seemed to be pretty cool. You can check out the details here: Project 52 Blog. They have set guidelines to doing this, but as I didn't start til late, I'm not following them and catching up first. I'll actually start the guidelines tomorrow, as the week starts on Saturday. This means I have to take the Week 5 photo tonight...oh boy. I'm fitting that into my schedule when exactly?

As I said, I'm a little bit of a failure at keeping up on deadlines. But I did promise to finish all of January pictures by the end of it. And I did, for the most part. So, here's the first week.

Around the House - this is what I see in my window, every morning when I wake up and get myself out of bed. An almost sunrise and condensation from cold windows and warm rooms. Taken with my Blackberry Bold.

I've got the two done, but they're not being posted right now as they're on my home laptop.  I always feel so flustered about posting more than once a day, but in this case it makes sense. I want to catch up. In general though, I don't want to put too much out there every day. I started this blog only this week, and I feel like I have so many ideas for outfits and photos and posts that I have to pace myself. I'll probably start doing a weekly outfit round-up like I've seen on many other blogs. I really should, because the outfit I'm wearing today, I gotta say, it's adorable.

Does anyone else find this? Like you have too many ideas and too many things to say all at once?

Must go get lunch! I've been busy...yeah, right. I'm just hungry haha.

Til next time!

Edit: Here's the Week 2 picture!

Illustrate A Song - It's pretty simple. I love the Backstreet Boys, and I have for a very long time. Taken out of order, yes, but that's okay. A Valentine's heart in the window illustrates perfectly a favourite song of mine, for me to show you the "Shape of my Heart"

2. I hate snow.

I truly dislike snow. I didn't use to hate it. Really. As a kid I'd happily frolick around, while throwing myself down inclines on things such as the death-toboggan and the ever-popular "Krazy Karpet". The times when a snow day actually existed, when the schools actually close on account of snow or blowing snow or slushy icy rain even. Those days, my friend, are over.

The real world sucks. I don't like the non-acceptance of bad driving conditions. MUN never closes, and apparently my current place of work doesn't either. Stupid Gov. In addition to nearly dying yesterday on the roads (thanks for that, City of St. John's, really) due to the non-plowing, I got to get up and do it all over again today.

After exiting the house at 7:36AM to start up and clean off my car, I managed to do two things. One, somewhat cover myself in snow and two, leave my BlackBerry in the house to stay warm. I'm so nice to it, clearly. I'm actually addicted to it, but that's another post for another time. I managed to make it to sign in by 7:57AM. 21 minutes to clear my car and do a 7 minute drive. There's probably more than one clock wrong in this situation, but we'll let that slide this time.

Another day, thank God this one's a pay day at least, and another full driveway to shovel when I get home. Oh the joys. No BlackBerry, no current pictures but I leave you with this little gem of my last super fun snow-filled day. *note the sarcasm, please note the sarcasm*

I don't want to go outside anymore. I love Newfoundland but it's winter bites the big one. Another productive work day I can tell.

Til next time!

P.S. Oh yeah, I have three of the pictures finished for the first four weeks of Project 52, the last takes a little more work. I'll post them as soon as I remember, or by the weekend.

P.P.S. Here's hoping I don't slide off the roads on the way home today!
