Jan 4

In a continued effort to live healthy, the salad I had for lunch.

A pic a day

I am going to try to do 365 days of photos.  I think it's a fantastic way to chronicle your year, and it appeals to my OCD self.  I don't want to start a tumblr or flickr or a Facebook album or anything else for this - I like the look of this blog, and I feel loyal to it, even if I abandon it for two years at a time.

The rules: a picture that I take that day OR a picture that I have/scan from the past which holds some significance.

Since it's Jan 3, here're the last 3 days:

Jan 3 - this was two weeks ago, but I can't forgo the sweater.  Not only did I embellish this sucker, I won an Ugly Sweater prize with it!

Jan 2 - my new bathtub in my new place - can't wait to take a bath after a long cold day!

Jan 1 - got to love the Beebz!

Things that rub me the wrong way...

...My new hiking/work shoes.  They WILL break in, I hope, but man, a giant blister AND no arch support after 3 hours of wearing (and only 45 min of that was walking) does not bode well for me...

...Chlorine rubbing out the fabric of my very expensive swim suit.  I am far too broke to spend $80 on a racing suit every 12 months.  I know this doesn't seem like much in a year, but this is the 2nd suit that's getting all stretchy and puckery and translucent...

...Kerbs on my car tires.  At least once a year I somehow misjudge distances, and today I scraped the CRAP out of my front right rim...

...UHaul employees.  I rent once a month, sometimes once every two weeks for the last 5 years from the same location.  Could you PLEASE make some sort of a notation on our account, so I don't have to give you my address, phone # and listen to your rules EVERY TIME??? Really, there should be a frequent customer program at UHaul...

...My Nook not recognizing the book I am supposed to read for next week's book club...
