Day 306 gives up redux

You can't tell, but this is one half of a huge elephant ear pastry. One half was as big as my hand. And more delicious. I'm letting myself be okay with these technical difficulties. Let's be honest, you aren't checking out my posts for my photography skills. It's for the self-deprecating humor and awkwardness, right?

Day 172 was ambushed!

After sitting in front of a computer for what seemed like two days straight (and surviving!), I desperately needed some fresh air. My mom and I went for a walk after dinner. I saw this pretty rose creeping out of someone's fence and decided to take a snapshot. But what is this? My goofy mother and her shadow puppets crept in my photo, much like that little rose out of the fence. The photo is better this way.

Day 42 loves new toys

Cure to practically anything that's ailing you? Shopping. I know, I know. So wrong, and yet... feels so right. I got a few pieces of new equipment today thanks to a sweet Amazon connection my sister has, (whatup Amazon!) and so instead of resting and getting better, I spent the better part of this evening playing with my new toys. So fun!

ps. this is a new film (yes, film) camera I got. It's manual focus and way old school. I love everything about it and never want to stop looking at it.

Day 11 is Snowing!

The fridge is stocked with milk, the neighbors put their cars on the lawn creating their own cul-de-sac and schools already have delays. That can only mean one thing - the snowpocalypse is upon us!!

Day 6 stays Lighter Later

Whew, it’s been a long week! I’m very excited that it’s almost the weekend (despite the impending snow tomorrow...). And I’m even more excited that the days are getting longer! This snapshot of cold winter trees is from 5pm. 5PM! Pretty soon it will be time for tank tops and ice cream. In the meantime stay warm friends!

Gettin' Lost on Day 5

in today's episode of the chronicles of aislinn, i managed the incredible feat of getting lost while trying to find a fedex that turned out to be 2 blocks from where i started my search.  Oh, cruel cruel world. I know this now because after giving up trying to find this stupidly-close fedex i went home, frustrated and upset, and then decided to google map it. Poor planning and over confidence caused this blunder. This is a pic from my epic fail tonight (while safely stuck at a red light waiting for a train to pass.... yes a train).

The lesson here... the best time to Google map where you're going is before you're wandering around in the dark, lost.

Put some new Day 3 shoes on!

Facts about me: I own too many pairs of jeans, too many bags and too many shoes. Except I don't really see it that way - maybe it's a girl thing - but is it actually possible to own too many of any of these things? Nope. Not even a chance. Which brings me to today's little slice. These babies just arrived.... [happy dance!!]

And guess what? You can't even really yell at me for yet another pair of shoes, because these are for a great cause!! (side note, if you don't know about Tom's, you need to check them out. Great company, amazing mission.) Tomorrow I'll be rockin these fancy new shoes. The only thing I haven't figured out is which pair of jeans they'd look best with..... :)

Day 2: A tree grows in Seattle

Day 2 slice, ya'll! I was called into work today (wah wah) and after 9 hours in front of my computer, I emerged, zombie-like out into the world again and this was my view. A normally full parking lot was quite deserted today. Just lil' ol' me, this tree and a clear Seattle sky.

2011, meet Day 1. Let's do this.

2011 is here, ya'll!! And so is this fancy 365 project we're about to rock out. Do you like happiness? Do you like pictures? I know you answered yes to both which means what you need to be doing right now is bookmarking and coming back every day to get yourself a nice dose of happiness + pics. for real. and now to the good stuff...

I rarely post pictures of myself and I'm positive this won't happen again in the next 364 days, but as a special treat in honor of the launch of this sweet little bloggity, I'll break my own rule to post this shot - a glimpse of the happiness from last night, seattle brought it's A game for NYE in a big way. (that's me on the right and the rockstar KC on the left). Happy 2011!
