This made me laugh.

Meet Mr. Reginald B. Sock. I have named him in fond remembrance of Lt. Reginald Barclay from Star Trek! Anyway, I have quite a bit to go, this is just most of everything above the ankle. :)

[ Thank you, Sarah, for helping me start this project! ]

Yesterday (when this ought to have been posted), I bought some lovely knitting supplies at Mainstreet Yarns. The red is for a pair of socks that I'm currently knitting, the green for fingerless gloves. Yay! It's very exciting, I will post a picture of my sock progress later!

This evening was spent shopping at Kohl's, where I actually bought some clothes. Wow! Here is what I bought... not all that exciting, perhaps, but I'm excited anyway.

I know that these aren't exactly flattering pictures of the clothes - they are much prettier in person and on the body and without this whacky light/editing.







Since it was dark when we got home and my ceiling light isn't sufficient, I took my desk lamp (just a regular old lamp with a shade), got rid of the shade, and used the hard light of the iridescent light bulb. I was going for sort of a model-like appearance, as if taken with a Polaroid camera or a cheap film disposable. However, I don't think I really pulled it off... Ah well, 'tis fun to try. :)



And then I snapped one of my slippered feet. "Slippered" is not a word, in case you were curious. Do you see how my right slipper has a messy knot where I tried to untie the leather string, realized that I would never again be able to re-tie it, and tried in vain to make a bow? Mmmm-hmm.

Squeak! I haven't posted for a week! So much for doing the photo project all the way through the year... Anyhoo, here are three pics that I took today, a bit of compensation for my absence. (It's all Henry's fault, doncha knoo, the little wee(ish) thing is too cute to let anyone do mundane activities.)



This is a wrapper from the best chocolate in the whole. Wide. World.



I signed up for Netflix (did I already mention this?) and we have received, watched and returned our first 3 in our 3-at-a-time plan! We watched two discs of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and a Scottish movie called Dear Frankie. I love how you can watch movies and shows straight from the site, too, it's quite nifty.



This is just a random picture of a Relay for Life bracelet. :D

Meet my tiny Styrofoam disco ball. The first pic is focused on the reflections of various bits of my walls, the second is focused on the ball... obviously. ;)

13

I made chocolate chip cookies today... They are delicious.

The first picture was taken with the normal lens, but the second picture was taken with a macro attachment, which is why there is such a tiny plane of focus that is sharp. :) Oh! and I wanted to say that I didn't touch these pictures at all, no editing whatsoever.

I know, it's just another sky picture, but the sunset was just gorgeous...

Today was very cold, very windy, and very cold.

Today I downloaded more than 200 of Sara's wedding pictures for her website.

project: 365 / day 9

Project: 365

You know those nifty photo projects, that post a picture a day for an entire year? Well I've decided to try it out! Perhaps I will post more than one picture a day... ^.^ Sometimes I just can't help it. I can't believe that I didn't think of it at the true beginning of the year, but January 9th is better day to start than February 9th!

[ thank you, Sara, for reminding me! ]

So here goes!

curtains

I've finally figured out how to make images larger on Blogger. I spent all of yesterday playing with html in order to make Sara's blog look right with larger pictures. If you used that link, you probably noticed that I'm still working on it. Anyhow... :)

The rain was hitting my window last night and I thought - what if I tried taking pictures? This is what I came up with... The only editing I did to them are their colors. :)

[ this was taken using a long shutter speed, the rest were taken with a flash ]

i put some new shoes on

I bought these cute shoes after Christmas. =] They are biodegradable and eco-friendly!

mist

Once upon a time
Yesterday was foggy
Caroline had a thought
And took a picture of the mist
This is what it looked like
And they lived happily ever after
The end.

back in business

Hello, again! I hope everyone had a lovely holiday; I certainly did. (The semi-colon is my new favorite grammatical device!)

It's been awfully cloudy, gray and cold (well, cold in the house), but today I picked some stalks of... I can't remember what they are called! I put them in an old beer can and it made my day a little brighter. :)








And that is a feather. :D Thank you, L&E, for rescuing the adorable little beer can from the lake - or mud hole.
