For June, I am doing a Photo-a-Day Challenge with Fat Mum Slim.
I've decided to post my photos each Wednesday of the week during June (unless something comes up and I don't have the week's photos ready, or can't upload them, or would rather write, or whatever else.)
Here are the first 6 photos for the month:
1. Morning - Each morning for a year, now, my mornings have been spotlighted by getting out of bed, putting on workout clothes, and doing yoga. Fortunately, spring (and a new living location) has brought natural light to my mornings.
2. Empty - My wallet after this week's extravagant spending.
3. On Your Plate - Had an awesome Last Supper with Kid Sis #3 and Brother-from-another-mother-and-father to kick off his finishing his MBA, moving to Chi-Town, and getting an awesome job where he lives right across the street from his workplace. I love Kobi Steakhouse - especially when they are lighting food on fire!!
4. Close-Up - I am re-reading "Slaughter-House Five". It is the first book I've read for pleasure in over a decade. Not sure why I selected it, except that it was one of less than a handful of non-educational books on my small bookshelf - though actually it's not even mine, it's been borrowed and not returned. I love this line about not looking back.
5. Sign. This is clearly a sign that I need to get rid of the remaining three eggs in the carton. Not even sure why I moved them into the new place since it was already the end of April when I moved and I hadn't touched the eggs in at least a month at that point.
6. Hat. This is the big hat I purchased for the track season. It really helped protect me from the sun and had vents in the top so my head didn't get hot. I had way less headaches this season than in previous ones. I bought some super large, 70s sunglasses that I wore with the hat and always looked like I was going on a safari, though still felt cute and somehow got compliments.
More pictures from June to come next week...
Sometimes paying bills seems like extravagant spending, doesn't it?! Love the hat!
ReplyDeleteIf only paying bills had the joy of other extravagant outings...
DeleteThanks for the compliment on the hat!
HA! I love the hat!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! It really helped me make it through some bright days and some rainy days... and it's washable, which is a major plus!
DeleteLiked the hat and that restaurant looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was delicious and entertaining having the chef talking and tossing shrimp into our mouths.
Deletelove how each picture easily tells a story:)

Thanks!! Now that I have a decent cell phone, I can do some pictures that aren't super grainy and even do effects without even using Instagram.
DeleteAs I scrolled, I liked each picture/story better (except the empty wallet, no fun). Oops on the eggs. I'm bad with date checking! Love the track look! Those are long, hot, sunny Saturdays and so many practices. Good luck to your bro from a dif mom and dad in my town. Hope he loves it!
ReplyDeleteHe does love it! Now only if I could figure out public transport. I've either walked to every place I've been or just sucked it up and drove. Tomorrow I'm riding the train/bus all day until I figure it out
Delete@ Gina - Empty wallets are definitely no fun!! Thanks on the hat. It was the best clothing purchase of the year, by far.
Delete@ Bio - Hopefully you can figure it out soon - you will be my navigator when I get to town!!
