Project 365: Day 192 -- What's In My Bag?

A little play on the Capitol One commercials, What's in your wallet?

I don't wear make-up every day since I stopped working out in the corporate world. But I do wear it if I will be seeing anyone other than my dear husband. So what's in my cosmetic bag?

Project 365: Day 191 -- A Cold Summer Treat

I had to run a few errands in Kingston Springs today...the post office, the little market, the tanning bed...and since it was so blasted hot out, I stopped at Sonic for a cold treat--I chocolate milkshake! I haven't had one of these in over a year. Oh my gosh was it good!

Project 365: Day 190 -- My Guilty Pleasure

Romance novels. Guilty pleasure. Especially the ones with vampires, Celtic Gods, and other supernatural beings. My latest find? The Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon. My good friend, neighbor, and colleague Sherri Reno actually photographed Sherrilyn for the book jackets. There are currently 13 books in the series, and I am finishing up #3. I've read all 3 in the past few days. Man, I could just sit and read all day long...

Project 365: Day 189 -- Cleaning

Who really likes cleaning their house? Who enjoys cleaning toilets? Mopping floors? Scrubbing soap scum? No one I know. I hate cleaning. But the cleaning faeries don't visit my house, so I have to do it myself. And I have a cleaning product for every blasted surface in my house. I really need to go more organic on the cleaning products, and as I use up and replace things, I will. I have a friend who cleans her whole house with vinegar and baking soda. I haven't gotten that hard-core yet. Maybe one day. But for now, I'll just grab my rubber gloves and get busy with this dreaded chore...

Project 365: Day 188 -- The Morning Commute

Well it took more than a week, but Kelly's car is finally finished being repaired. For those of you who drive diesels, whatever you do, don't ever let the timing belt break! It damages all the valves. So this morning, I had to take him to work so that he could drive his car home this evening. If you know me at all, you know I am so NOT a morning person. But I had to get up at 6:30 AM, and drive all the way across town. Here are some snapshots along the way...

Project 365: Day 187 -- The BFF Session

This morning, my best friend Rebekah and I took her daughter Aleah, and Aleah's best friend Molleigh, out for a photo shoot. We went to Edgehill Village early in the morning, when everything was still closed. We were disappointed that it was so overcast, because this area would get some really great light with a little sun. But the girls were great, and seemed to have a really good time. And I got to get some more practice in handholding that long lens--which I need!

Project 365: Day 186 -- Spicy Shrimp & Lobster Linguine

Kelly and I cooked dinner together tonight, and made Spicy Shrimp & Lobster Linguine. And we added some big Sea Scallops, too. So I guess it's Spicy Seafood Linguine, lol. It has a little more prep time than some of my other recipes, what with having to shell the shrimp and pull the lobster apart and all. But all in all it only took us about 45 minutes. We also used fresh basil out of our own garden. basil and tomatoes are one of the best combinations in nature, don't you think? And the best part was there was plenty left-over for another meal!
