A Year of Days - Project 365

48/365 Tuesday

2009-02-17T23:22:00.000-08:00

Hubby hard at work. Tuesdays and Thursdays we work late and hubby does piecework while I pretty much play around on the computer - here he is hard at work.

47/365 Monday

2009-02-16T20:17:00.000-08:00

Another tasty bite from the kitchen of Dawn. Not much "homemade" food comes out it's usually supper in a bag, or publix precooked meals - but sometimes I like to play around and make something. These are crab cakes with a Remoulade sauce. I will make these again, but add some more spice to kick it up a notch.

46/365 Sunday

2009-02-15T14:12:00.000-08:00

A quick stop for lunch at "Five Guys Burgers and Fries". We'd been hearing rave reviews and let me tell you the burgers and fries are fantastic. Word to the wise ... don't order a large fry - we got a large to share and still had tons left over. The place was packed. We'll be back.

45/365 Saturday

2009-02-14T13:04:00.000-08:00

One of my vices.

44/365 Friday

2009-02-13T17:59:00.000-08:00

Rafael in our Quality department gave a rose to all the ladies at work for Valentine's Day. They all smelled so good and were just starting to open. In a rush to leave work, I left mine behind, called Saturday to have it put in water but by Monday it was pretty much gone.

43/365 Thursday

2009-02-12T12:57:00.000-08:00

The new suggestion box at work ... oh the things I could put in there.

42/365 Wednesday

2009-02-11T18:54:00.000-08:00

An oddity in my life. Me waiting for hubby at the picnic bench at work. It's usually the reverse with him waiting for me.

41/365 Tuesday

2009-02-10T23:50:00.000-08:00

This is me in all my glory. Crashed out under a blanket on the couch, with a cat, the remote, a book, and a diet coke.

40/365 Monday

2009-02-09T09:58:00.000-08:00

Daily essentials. My dayplanner and computer keyboard.

39/365 Sunday

2009-02-08T21:56:00.000-08:00

Dinner at the Cheesecake Factory - sort of a celebration of the anniversary of our first blind date (the 7th) and Valentines Day (the 14th). Chicken Piccata - my favorite.

38/365 Saturday

2009-02-07T18:52:00.000-08:00

Tonight was the cruise in at Betty's Best Burgers which used to be the Fudruckers. We're in the '67 GS Convertable. It was a little on the cold side but you can't not drive with the top down. Jackets work wonders.

37/365 Friday

2009-02-06T23:35:00.000-08:00

Tonight after a the car show at Tower Shops we dropped by Fridays for dinner/snack. I worked late while Jay went to the show and I just didn't feel like cooking when I got home. This is the wall which was sort of dedicated to the 60s-70s-80s - part of our lifetime.

36/365 Thursday

2009-02-05T21:47:00.000-08:00

Because Mew wasn't weaned when we found him, he was bottle fed. He still likes to be held like a baby at least for a little while.

35/365 Wednesday

2009-02-04T17:29:00.000-08:00

Characters on my desk. The Zebra is from a pen promotion, Sponge Bob from McDonalds, and the warning cone was a gift from one of my coworkers - it says "Service May Vary According to My Mood and Your Attitude" - ahhh so true. My husband poses the Zebra whenever he comes into my office whether I am there or not ... sort of to say Hi.

34/365 Tuesday

2009-02-03T21:17:00.000-08:00

This is Mew. He currently lives under the sink in my bathroom. It's his safe zone. I've emptied it out and put a rug in there - it's where he loves to stay. Took me many, many tries to get a "good" picture of him.

33/365 Monday

2009-02-02T11:16:00.000-08:00

Coming Soon ....

32/365 Sunday

2009-02-01T10:15:00.000-08:00

My Sunday breakfast spot. I love Panera at any hour, but most Sundays I try to make it for their egg sandwiches. Sausage, Egg and Cheese is the best.

31/365 Saturday

2009-01-31T18:15:00.000-08:00

The 5th Saturday of the month and we had a car show at Picnics Diner on Bird Road. If you've grown up in Miami, the diner is where the Taco Viva used to be. We went in the 1967 Buick GS 400. It was very very cold. To warm up I had lentil soup and grilled cheese at the Diner. Hubby had the meatloaf special.

30/365 Friday

2009-01-30T08:02:00.000-08:00

This is the front of my house. You can see just how dry the grass is. We haven't had any substantial amounts of rain in a few weeks. We don't usually water the lawn, but if it doesn't rain for much longer, I'll have to break weak and water some.

29/365 Thursday

2009-01-29T23:49:00.000-08:00

Another cold night. Temperatures were in the upper 70s in the afternoon, and down well into the 50s by midnight. This is Marjorie curled up on my blanket on the couch.

28/365 Wednesday

2009-01-28T19:51:00.000-08:00

Delivery of some stamp sets from CTMH. Some are calendar related to use in my 365 album, and others complete the monthly sets.

27/365 Tuesday

2009-01-27T20:56:00.000-08:00

The price of gas today. We fill up twice a week. This is today's price - higher than it has been recently, but not as high as it was a couple of months ago.

26/365 Monday

2009-01-26T08:02:00.000-08:00

We put a lot of miles on the car because we commute about 100 miles a day round trip. This is where the mileage is today - I'll probably take another pick in December to record just how many miles we've actually driven.

25/365 Sunday

2009-01-25T23:58:00.000-08:00

Ground beef was on sale at the grocery store, so I decided to make some chili. This is my famous black bean chili, made with black beans, tomatoes, chilis and in this case ground beef.

24/365 Saturday

2009-01-24T16:53:00.000-08:00

A weekly event. Stopping by the teller machine to get money for the week. With my check hitting the bank by direct deposit the teller machine is a weekly stop.

23/365 Friday

2009-01-23T23:49:00.000-08:00

When the cats are cold they get cuddlier. This is Monty curled up in a blanket on the couch. It's cute how he has is face tucked under his tail.

22/365 Thusday

2009-01-22T23:44:00.000-08:00

My very first layout of the year. This one was done for an album the girls are giving Linda at Winter Retreat. We were supposed to do a page with how we met Linda and if you had one a picture with her. This pic is from the Hilltop Cruise to Mexico.

21/365 Wednesday

2009-01-21T23:21:00.000-08:00

A very cold night (upper 30's/low 40s) calls for great hot chocolate. These are for the Keurig machine. A quick fix to warm me up.

20/365 Tuesday

2009-01-20T20:56:00.000-08:00

Our new president. Inauguration Day.
I can't remember the last time I actually watched the Inauguration events, but I did this year.

19/365 Monday

2009-01-19T19:51:00.000-08:00

Some toys I received in the mail today. JustRight stamps were having a sale and letter kits were $5 and the word sets were $1. I bought all the ones I didn't have. I love the stamps because they are self inking.

18/365 Sunday

2009-01-18T08:45:00.000-08:00

Breakfast with Kevin (alright, everyone else was there too). This is Jay's new nephew. We're having breakfast and it was pass the baby time so that everyone had a chance to eat. As far as babies go, he's one of those happy babies.

17/365 Saturday

2009-01-17T09:15:00.000-08:00

Haircut day for me. I swear if I win the lottery I will be hiring a shampoo girl complete with the shampoo sink. The warm water and someone massaging your scalp is so relaxing.

16/365 Friday

2009-01-16T18:45:00.000-08:00

Another Tower Shops Friday night cruise - but this night we took "my" car which is a 1976 Pontiac Astre. It is the Pontiac version of a Vega. The window stuff tells the story of the car. This car is all original and that's the original paint job. I even found a bumper sticker on ebay with Vote for Jimmy Carter.

15/365 Thursday

2009-01-15T23:56:00.000-08:00

Some of you dropping by from the north might not think that the upper 50s is cold. But here in south Florida it is, and that makes it time to break out the slippers.

14/365 Wednesday

2009-01-14T22:27:00.000-08:00

Made baked pears tonight from a recipe in a Rachel Ray magazine. They turned out delicious.

13/365 Tuesday

2009-01-13T08:25:00.000-08:00

My new purse, which was a gift from mom at Christmas. All loaded up and ready to go.

12/365 Monday

2009-01-12T11:15:00.000-08:00

Pears, Pears, Pears. Received my order from Harry and David and they substituted pears for the fruit of the month (it was supposed to be apples), plus received a tower of treats with more pears from an order I placed. Good thing I like pears.

11/365 Sunday

2009-01-11T22:21:00.000-08:00

An evening at Chili's after a very long day.

10/365 Saturday

2009-01-10T21:18:00.000-08:00

Tonights car show was at Shorty's BBQ. This is the first time we've been to this location. This is the '68 GTO. For some reason the show seemed to break up early and by 9PM most of the cars had cleared out. We went to Shorty's to eat and then made it an early night (for us anyway) and headed for home.

9/365 Friday

2009-01-09T19:17:00.000-08:00

Tonights "Ride" a 2002 Pontiac Firehawk Conv. It was a little chilly, but we still had to have the top down.

8/365 Thursday

2009-01-08T23:16:00.000-08:00

A late night visit to our favorite diner. Open since the 60s.

7/365 Wednesday

2009-01-07T12:15:00.000-08:00

First Day of Powerball in Florida - I just had to have tickets.

6/365 Tuesday

2009-01-06T20:03:00.000-08:00

Look what came in the mail today. I (and not the bank) really own my home now.

(The full picture will go in my album)

5/365 Monday

2009-01-05T20:01:00.000-08:00

Sweet and Sour Meatballs - Mmmm, it's what's for dinner. And yes, I actually made them which is a rarity.

4/365 Sunday

2009-01-04T16:30:00.000-08:00

A trip to my favorite Used Books Store. OK ... I didn't have the courage to ask to take a picture inside, I'll leave that for next time. Got the last Hoke Mosely book, and F is for Fugitive - I have the rest, I was just missing F.

3/365 Saturday

2009-01-03T17:51:00.000-08:00

The second car show of the year. This one is at Betty's Best Burgers. My hubby is detailing the car. We are in a 1966 Buick Riviera.

2/365 Friday

2009-01-02T17:46:00.000-08:00

On the way to the first cruise in of 2009. We're in a 1968 GTO Conv on I-75.

1/365 Thursday

2009-01-01T00:01:00.000-08:00

Watched the Ball drop with Dick Clark. This is the first seconds of 2009

Project 365

2009-01-01T00:00:00.000-08:00

Well CK didn't start it, since it's been around for at least several years. But they did put the idea into a scrapbooking kit form. At this point, I don't know if I'm getting a kit (I want one, but I didn't get through on the order line).

Aside from the whole Kit commotion at CK, I still want to do the project.

I've created this blog to track the pictures.

I'll probably update it once or twice a week since it's easier to upload from work. I'll be changing the post date to the correct day and approximate time the photo was taken.

For now ... let's begin the journey of 365 days.
