Post 1000: 270/365
1000 days ago I started this blog. I’ve fallen behind (more and more frequently) but I’m still posting a photo for each day of the year. Maybe I’ll make it to 2,000, maybe not. But for now I’m pretty happy to have made it this far.
And for your viewing pleasure, here’s a visual summary of the last 999 days. Happy scrolling…
Everyone needs a plastic bull head, right?
I’m so glad we have sidewalks where we live.
Knit night at Presto tonight.
I kind of liked the contrast between the stark white at the top and the gooey muck at the bottom.
I’m a giant!
It was so nice to see something so fresh and flowering outdoors in November.
All prepped and ready for her sleepytime medicine.
The cars behind me probably wouldn’t be happy to know my extremely slow speed was because I was taking this photo. Next time I’ll keep both hands on the wheel.
A spaceman in his spaceship with lego-man wings.
Cookie for President!
All it needs is some eyes.
I am NOT a fan of spiders.
All ready for a trip to the microwave.
A gift.
It’s a potato, it’s a turkey, it’s a po-turkey!
It’s funny what you don’t see when you are taking a photo until after you get the file downloaded.
I love how the sky is orange under the bridge and blue above.
I love the gray wig / backpack combo.
I love the simplicity of this machine – and the giant buttons.
Some see yarn, I see endless possibility and hours of entertainment.
Bar-B-Q
Something about this reminds me of a David Lynch movie.
Our weekly shopping trip to Costco.
Wearing a beer bottle hat.
The top drawer of my desk.
Not the best way to start my day.
I love how you can see my kids and me reflection.
I love little knitting projects like this one.
Bummer.
Looking up through the stair well.
Concave reflection in the rear view mirror of a old school bus.
This was a lucky shot since the heart shape disappeared moments later.
This building is as great on the inside as it is on the outside.
I hope she does OK today. She was very excited to wear these.
Blowing out Daddy’s birthday candles.
Taking a running leap.

The gun has a face.
I love how they all appear to be looking at me.
Mmmmmm…. Warm cinnamon-y apple-y goodness!

It’s amazing how greasy it looks.
I love a good neon sign.
The bears are alive!
A portion of the side of the WasteMasters dumpster outside my office. You can actually see the fuzzy silver reflection of my car.
I’ve always thought it was somewhat strange that grass can be rolled up like this.
Two little deers. (or is the plural of deer just “deer?”)
The foot on a $32,000 statue of Ganesh in ABC Carpet and Home. For good luck, people offer him money, stuffing it or balancing it anywhere they can.

I realized after everything was glued down that the dog sled guy is sledding on grass.
My view from the top of the slide.
I love the light in our bathroom.

The Pep Boys… Manny, Moe and Jack
They were yummy.
I love seeing my son having fun and interacting with his friends at Cub Scouts.

Parking garage signage
I love those toddler thighs!
My son made this tonight when I told him today was the 100th day of doing my blog.
Ribbons for each race hanging in front of the white wooden box that held all the cars.
Oooohh, shiny!
Do you say “s’more ingredients?” or “s’mores ingredients?” I’ve always wondered if the singular of s’mores is s’more.
I love the smiles.
The “cake” was a big hit. Rice Krispie Treats stacked to look like a game of Minecraft.
The best part about this store is getting to and from the rooftop parking.
Sleeping next to the dinosaurs.
It doesn’t really look like it, but this photo (one photo) is perfectly split in two visually – half shutter, half brick.

I’m not sure if this is a really great idea, or a really crazy idea.

Totally captivated by the toy display.
I still haven’t put away the silverware we used at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I love the little pop of green on the right.
Sweet. Man.
It’s nice to see this played with again.

arms and tummy…
I had such a hard time getting this little guy in focus. This was the best I could do out of about 8 different shots.
