Day Fourty-Six...

Self-Humiliation

I could find nothing better to photograph today, so here I am.  In all my yucky glory!

Haha.

Who photographs themselves? (Jenny, don't you dare say anything! lol)

Day Twenty-Three....

Portland Children's Museum

Ahhh, Sir K-man.  The Children's Museum was a blast today.  Your favorite, of course, was the train station.  While you didn't enjoy sharing those trains with other kids, you did.  Mommy has tons of pictures of the fun we had.  We both loved it, and will be going back soon.

I love you, bug!  Thank you for being an absolutely fantabulous kiddo!

Day Twenty-Two...

The Power of Chocolate...

Somehow, chocolate can heal everything wrong in the world and make it right again. 

After eating a dove chocolate and throwing away the wrapper, I remembered the saying that lies within said wrapper.  Diving back into my garbage can (its my own-personal-changed-everyday-because-the-cleaning-lady-changes-it-every-night garbage can at my desk at work!) I unfoiled the foil to read these words.

That got me thinking.  Sometimes you just need to slow down and remember the good in your life, and stop stressing about everything else.

I love my family.  I love the friends I have.  The relationships I have created with these people are mine.  They are around because they care. 

Dove chocolate RULES!!

Day Twenty...

My Phone is Love

I heart my Crackberry to pieces, but today it was on the back burner while Ariana was sick and I was dealing with a migraine.

It looks so dead when it's off, doesn't it?  The life and soul sucked right out of it.  Haha.

Day Seven.......

Redline..... A customer service representative's best friend!!

I was really tired today.  This, saved my life! haha.

Yes, I answer phone calls all day, every day. 

Ewww!

Day Four...

Chicken Enchiladas

Was dinner tonight.  Made them using a brand new skillet Justin and I got for Christmas from my grandma.

Day Two....

Bath-time Tunes.

Ariana and I decided to take a shower/bath together.  She kicked and played in the water while I sat over the tub and shaved my legs.  Then we let the water drain and I washed her off so no trace of said shaving happened.  All the while we rocked out.

Day One...

Happy New Year!!!

Let 2010 be the best ever!

Project 365... Year 2010

So I decided that instead of using my main blog to participate in Project 365, I would make my own sub-blog just for the occasion.

Project 365 challenges you to take a photo every day for the entire year so that you may reflect on things you did, places you saw, foods you ate, and so on.  If you are like me, and have an absolutely TERRIBLE memory, you will understand that sometimes you don't remember the minor details in life.

When I realized that I had such a horrible memory, I dove into the world of photography.  Through my picture-taking, I remember things I would not ordinarily remember.  It is fun for me to see pictures of when Konnor first rolled over, or when Ariana ate her first bites of rice cereal, or even when I went to West Virginia to visit Justin for the first time.  Those memories, had it not been for my camera, would be hidden somewhere deep in my memory, never to be heard of again.

Now, I do blog.  My main blog, The JAKA Files, is a way for me to write down things that happen, or memories I would like to preserve.  Writing comes naturally to me.  But so does photography. 

So let this be another expression of my creativity and my spirit. 

Things to note:

• Picture junkies can not always stick to one picture.  For the sake of this project I will do so, but if there are more I want to share, I will link up to my main blog.
• Writing junkies can not always post a picture without a little story behind them.  So, for that, you will have to deal with my ramblings about some, if not all, of my pictures.

That is all.  Let the good times roll, baby!!
