2020 Project 365 – Week Thirty-four

No politics this week. It is almost 5:00 on Sunday afternoon and I really want to take a nap. This shall be short & to the point. (Two notes: 1. I will not take a nap. 2. This will not be short & to the point.)

Sunday, August 16^th                                                                

Seen around the yard – azaleas, morning glories, and wildflowers.

Monday, August 17^th                            

There is a squishable bag zipped inside this penguin, but it has a secondary job these days.

Tuesday, August 18^th                                                                  

I made this crazy thing to give away, but I finished it the week before the shutdown & then felt weird about giving it to anyone. So the other week I toted it into the office – it shall be my office blankie.

Wednesday, August 19^th                                                          

Dr. M posted this picture on the socials & I really have no comment.

Thursday, August 20^th        

This week’s tower of food. I ate half today & half on Friday. The note says to remember grapes & I did!

Friday, August 21^st                                                                       

I finished this audiobook today. SO GOOD! 100% recommend – especially the audio version. That’s my cheesy grin because I was so pleased with it.

Saturday, August 22^nd                  

Your weekly progress photo. I don’t know if I’ll be able to post another one next week – it’s taking longer to make my way around the edges now. Well, I guess I could post one even if it’s only partway done. I’m not the boss of me! Wait…

I’ve had a good weekend. Got the house cleaned yesterday & all the laundry done. Played on my iPad. Crocheted. The Braves won. Saw my dad & Sue briefly today (she’s having back surgery next Friday, so good thoughts please!). How was your weekend?

2017 Project 365 – Week Ten

We are digging ourselves out from under the boxes, and next week I hope to show some pictures of the house. But things are still rather unfinished around here so I might hold off. We shall see!

Sunday, March 5^th       

I finally (FINALLY!) finished the temperature monster! I was going to post a picture of the completed blanket, but we need to do it outside & the weather hasn’t cooperated (high winds, rain, SNOW, sigh).

Monday, March 6^th           

My first day as a full time home office employee! I got 3,100 steps that day – obviously I need to figure out how to get more active again (it will most likely involve getting to the Gazelle that is boxed in right now – get it? Boxed in? Heh.). Anyway, the only picture I took was of a pen that fell under my desk, so instead, here is an offering from Dr. Indiana Jones.

Tuesday, March 7^th                            

Miss Rita – still a blooming fool.

Wednesday, March 8^th                   

The moon!

Thursday, March 9^th                    

Dr. M has a new toy – self-propelled this time. Hmm – I can probably increase my activity if I steal this from him.  

My weekly trip to the post office. I do not know why I didn’t take a picture of the terribly cute post office building, but here are a few pictures from my trip.

Friday, March 10^th     

You already saw most of this day’s pictures. Here’s one that didn’t make the cut – Ill Penguin watching over me as I get ready to go to sleep. Someday Ill Penguin will get stowed with the Christmas things…

Saturday, March 11^th       

Nice cozy evening in front of a fire, crocheting on a WIP (work in progress) that I’ve been working on a while. Was I satisfied? Nope – I was bored…

So I dove into my stash of Irish wool that someone from church gave me & figured out yarn to use for a temperature scarf for our first year in North Carolina. It’s a sickness, ya’ll. Ha!

Have a great week!

10 on 10

Woo hoo! I remembered to do the 10 pictures on the 10th of the month thing! It's not terribly exciting - just a (new normal) workday here at Bug Central.

1. Ready to work! It's just a little chilly in my office in the mornings - today I thought I'd drink some hot tea. I would love to say that I had bed head, but to be quite frank, I did actually brush my hair. I think maybe I need a trim?

2. Breakfast! Cheesy grits & runny eggs - yum!

3. The other day I walked into the kitchen & saw this in the window - made me smile (a lot). I had mentioned to Dr. M that I wanted to put these guys in between the double panes, but I don't really have the wing span to open the window myself. So of course Dr. M did it for me. (Note, this is a little video - we'll see if it works!)

4. Went out to get the mail. Just a bit breezy!

5. I took a walk down our road, then I wandered into the bit of woods off of the road. Next time I need to wear my hiking boots!

6. Lunch!

7. My office gets a bit warm in the afternoons - the benefit of direct sunlight in my windows. I've ordered some light blocking curtains - otherwise summer might be a bit rough!

8. Dr. M put together this etagere for my bathroom - he's pretty darned handy to have around. Note: I'm pretty sure that it was my phone that was tilting - not the etagere!

9. Good thing it's almost 5:00 - I'm getting so sleepy...

10. We watched two of the Madagascar movies - the one with the Afro Circus (hilarious!) and then this one where John Malkovich is a giant octopus. Fun Friday night in the Bug Household!

How was your day?

2017 Project 365 – Week Seven

I am not at all sure what state I’m in (and you can read that any way you’d like). My life is currently a bit messy, which is uncomfortable for me (and this time I’m talking metaphorically, because heaven knows by all appearances I have no issues with a messy house). But in 9 days I’ll be heading south, and my life will become simpler and more complicated. Fun times!

Sunday, February 12^th      

I laughed at the Gospel lesson today because I had just colored my hair the night before. Ha!

Thursday was “Large Item Trash Pickup,” so we put a few things out on the curb, including little red, the frankenmower (the one I had to duct tape together). Forty-five minutes later I went to take a picture of it out there on the curb, but it was already gone. I’m glad it’s getting used instead of taken to the dump! A couple of days later this microwave cart was gone too.

Monday, February 13^th           

Today Dr. M drove down to NC to do some things, including get our cable/internet hooked up and leave the Bugly down there. Here are his travelling companions.

Tuesday, February 14^th                           

As we were apart today, our Valentine’s days weren’t all that romantic. I spent the evening cleaning out my closet. This is some of the clothing I decided to give away.

Wednesday, February 15^th                    

Dr. M spent some time with his father today, and some time doing his favorite thing. I’m very happy that our new house has excellent bird watching venues.

Meanwhile, that night Ms. Pinky & were preparing to get some sleep.

Thursday, February 16^th    

Sheeeeeppppp!

Friday, February 17^th       

Today I drove down to NC to get Dr. M. This was my traveling companion. Ha!

Saturday, February 17^th         

And today we drove back to Ohio. So, I guess I’m in Ohio right now. Good to know!

Hope everyone has a great week!

2015 Project 365 – Week Eighteen

What a beautiful week! We still had some low temps, but mostly the weather has been really pleasant. Plus, the moon!

Sunday, April 26^th     

The long hair picture popped up on my Time Hop today. Sometimes I miss all that hair…

It was a little chilly, but I couldn’t resist sitting outside to crochet for a bit.

Grackle…

The moon!

Monday, April 27^th  

Mowed after work. It was chilly enough that I wore a light jacket!

Tuesday, April 28^th           

Worked on a project during conference call.

Dr. M saw Puppy Cow Daycare!

Campus flora & fauna…

The moon!

My daily walk – I saw a rabbit and ducks! Our neighborhood isn’t usually so diverse :)

 Wednesday, April 29^th   

I laughed at today’s page from my Zen a Day calendar. I wondered if it was anything like a baby monkey riding backward on a pig. Ha!

Took a walk in the office park where I work. Not very exciting, but a really pretty day! You can see the sunglasses I bought off the kiddie rack :)

Meanwhile, Dr. M was photographing pretty flowers at school. Oh, and a bonus squirrel.

Even our finch feeder is diverse – here’s a house finch. We’ve also seen plenty of the golden variety too this week.

Thursday, April 30^th    

I smiled at my daily motivational tip on my desk.

Our back yard…

The moon!

Friday, May 1^st

I was dusting & accidentally woke up the Furby!

Dr. M stopped by the nursery to get a hanging basket for me. Pretty!

I finished my project. It’s a bit pink, but maybe if she wears it with black that will tone it down some…

The moon!

Saturday, May 2^nd             

I started off my day by grabbing what I thought were white socks out of the drawer. Oops! (That’s a penguin in case you can’t tell). Then I locked my keys in my car, and was an hour early for a church meeting that didn’t even happen at all. However, it was a nice quiet time of goofing off on my computer & crocheting, so, really, a normal Saturday (except for the socks).

Meanwhile, Dr. M was taking a picture of one of our robins. They make me laugh!

I’ll leave you with the moon!

               

Hope everyone has a great week!
