day 31

Brett's City of Hope Care Page... A good friend of ours was just diagnosed with abdominal cancer over the holidays. What a shock! He underwent a 10-hour surgery last night wherein the doctor removed 1/2 of his stomach, 1/3 of his large intestine, his spleen, appendix and gall bladder. This website keeps his friends and family updated...

day 30

There's going to be a potluck at the office. Here's to me NOT COOKING (thank you Costco!). Click HERE for my thoughts on the office potluck.

Getting ready for our marathon scrapbooking day...

day 26

St. George. Had a yummy salad for lunch.

day 25

Brrrrrrrrrrrr............. I do not like being cold.

day 24

In Utah tonight, visiting Megan at Life Line. The drive was terrible! Snow everywhere... How do people live here?

day 23

I've never made cake mix cookies before, so I thought I'd give it a try. Ridiculously easy and quite tasty. Used this recipe.

day 22

Felt like a hot chocolate day... My *favorite* hot chocolate mix and my *favorite* spoon. Yes, I have a favorite spoon - the irreplaceable Nestle Quik Rabbit spoon, mail-ordered with proof of purchase when I was just a youth. And no, I didn't go to Dartmouth. But my brother did.

CHECK THIS OUT: The Library of Congress has a collection of really cool old photos on Flickr. Click HERE for a look.

day 21

My new favorite ice cream. I love the cookie... you can't go wrong by mixing it up with ice cream!

Little Miss Maya Taylor... Don't let this adorable face fool you. This little one has some SPUNK!

day 18

Turned the fireplace on this morning to warm up the house. Zoey sat like this for something like 20 minutes. Guess she needed a little warming-up!

day 17

I love tulips... Thanks Michael & Kristen!

day 16

Laid up...
[Edit: Nothing serious, just a minor surgical procedure]

day 15

Homework time. Explaining median, mean, and mode...

day 14

Filled up the candy jar this weekend. Why, oh, why do I tempt myself so?

day 13

Waiting for me to get ready for church... Methinks it's time for a haircut.

day 12

Picked some lemons off the tree in the backyard... Zoey tried to help, but didn't like the taste.

day 11

Had lunch with Joanna at Zov's (the Bistro side) in Tustin. They have the most beautiful - and tempting - bakery area!

day 10

Working from home... it likely will be coming to an end (more sooner than later, I'm afraid) so I'll take advantage of it when I can.

day 9

Zoey... licking her chops while I enjoy some leftover pizza.

day 8

I actually made something for dinner. Thai Crunch Pizza... ala CPK. Kevin won't touch it ("where's the pepperoni?"), so it's ALL MINE! Found the recipe *HERE*

day 7

After the rain...

day 6

Zoey thinks she's a lap dog.

day 5

Sampson - the Leavitt's adorable new Mastiff puppy. Sharp teeth, 20 lbs, and full of gas. Soon enough he'll be close to 200 lbs.

day 4

I stopped for lunch (2 tacos for 99 cents and a large Diet Coke) on the way from the gym back to the office, effectively negating the hour work-out I had just done.

day 3

Ahhhhhh.... love letters from the IRS. This is what happens when one lets one's husband do the taxes.

day 2

I pass this sign virtually every day. I'm glad to be home.

day 1

New Year's Day.... Dad's post-meal nap.

Project 365 - 2008

So... Last night I was checking out some of my favorite blogs and came across this on Ali Edwards' blog: Project 365 - How to Take a Photo a Day and See Your Life in a Whole New Way. I decided to take on the challenge... and extended it to a few of my girlfriends as well. We'll see what happens!
