Day 47

YELLOW.

Driving home.
"Golden rod" yellow parking permit for work reflecting on the windshield (which when I first saw thought was a crack in the glass).
Done.

Day 46

ORANGE.


I'm a to-do list maker (surprised?). I don't make them for the pleasure of crossing items off (though I do enjoy crossing items off when they're done). I make them out of necessity--I have to have them to keep everything that I'm doing straight. I have multiple ones going on at one time--events that I do get their own list (also referred to as "action plans"), I'll have a list for things that need to get done in a particular day and another for the week, et cetera. When I realized I had to find an orange item for today I thought I'd have to end up staging something later in the evening. Then, I noticed my to-do list for the morning was being written with orange sharpie. Check.

Day 45

This week I choose to embrace a theme for my pic of the day, and it definitely made the project more fun. This week's theme: ROY G. BIV. This theme reminded me of a book that I want to read/finish. I started reading it this summer and thought that it was incredibly interesting--Color: A Natural History of the Palette by Victoria Finlay. It covers how colors are/were made, the history behind them, et cetera, and is organized by one color per chapter. I got through one color before I had to leave it behind, and I definitely want to find a copy so I can work on it some more.

Sunday obviously started off with...RED.


Sunday was also Valentine's Day, a day filled with a plethora of red items. So why go with the red panic button on my car keys? Was I in a panic about my current dating situation, or lack thereof (NO). Feeling cynical on Valentine's Day (Again, NO. I actually find the day to be pretty cute.) But rather, when I made the decision to embrace this theme I was walking from my car to the front door and I thought, "I need to go hunt for red", and I looked down and there was red in my hand.

Day 44

I could just call Saturday my enforced Sabbath. After letting the dogs out and feeding them breakfast I went to make my coffee. I come back in and a certain little dog had bit through my computer power cord, effectively thwarting my plans of Saturday snowed-in productivity.



I caught up on chores. I did things I enjoyed. And at work on Monday everything that I thought I HAD to do on Saturday by myself got done, and got done better than if I had tried to do it by myself, because I asked for help. Lesson learned.

An additional snow pic.

This goes against conversations I've had recently.
I'm kinda against posting lots of photos of pets. Not that it's bad or anything. I just get in the habit of taking lots of pictures of them.
They're funny.



But this is one of my favorite pics of the month.

The weather outside is frightful...

I'm not that crazy about snow. My disdain for it stems mainly from the fact that it's cold. I HATE being cold, and snow is cold AND wet. But, today I was shocked to see that a lot of the grinch-ness in my heart regarding snow had melted at some point in the past year. Yesterday I definitely wasn't meeting the news of snow with open arms, but today when I looked outside and saw it pouring down, nary a thought of disgust went through my heart or mind. The only word that has been going through my mind today has been how peaceful it has been. I was at work when it started, but I couldn't/didn't want to do anything afterwards. The chill outside really made me chill out inside. And I'm really thankful. And soaking it in.

As it was starting to stick...

Last pics as the sun was setting...

Day 43

I mean, could today's post really be about anything other than snow? No. Snow is such an anomaly here in Georgia (praise the LORD!) that when it happens, it's a big deal.
