Photo A Day: Day 23

Your Shoes:

I think it was meant to be the shoes you were wearing today, so I did include those in the photo, as well as four other pairs of shoes I wear frequently, and Charlie's 3 pairs of running shoes and hiking boots. My favorite pair are the purple Uggs. I got them for Christmas from my sister in law and I would wear them everyday if it was okay at work, and also never muddy, rainy, snowy, or otherwise yucky out.

Where You Work:

I had grand intentions of taking tons of pictures to choose from of where I work. That didn't exactly happen.Too bad I actually had to work! Here's one I took during snack/recess time. It's my desk, in all it's cluttered glory. Even though it's photo (singular) a day (meaning today) here is a picture I took of the speech room last week that makes me laugh.

Maybe we should nick name some of the kids "Hurricane."

A Favorite Photo Of You:

Obviously I picked a wedding photo. It was hard to pick, our photographer was excellent, plus it doesn't hurt that Charlie and I are so stinkin' good looking. Har har. I spent months looking at wedding blogs and wedding pictures; I had a whole list of pictures I wanted to take, angles etc. I did this mostly because the magazines, blogs, websites told me I should. After Sammy, the photographer, took our engagement pictures I threw out my list because it was more fun to do what she wanted us to do than to spend lots of time trying to copy images I had seen online and thought that I needed to have replicas of. This photo is a perfect example of what will happen when you throw out your list and go with the flow. After our first dance and dinner Sammy, Charlie and I walked around my Mum's house, where the wedding was held, and she took pictures of us in different places at different angles with varying "poses."I just did what she said to do. My only request (at least as I remember, Charlie or Sammy might have other memories) was to do something in the upstairs of the barn, since I love it so much. Charlie and I climbed to the upstairs swung open the door and Sammy said "lean over and kiss each other." So we did. And I love the results.

P.S. Sadly, Sammy is not taking wedding photos at the moment. She's saving the world one seal at a time.

Handwriting:

Monday before vacation= writing vacation packing list. Even though I already have my bags packed I don't want to forget anything. Typically I always end up meticulously packing, only including items that I know I'll need and only the required amount of each, then at the last minute I stuff random items into my bag eliminating any room for souvenirs. It scares me when a suitcase doesn't have to be laid on top of in order to close it, part of my brain automatically assumes that something is wrong and I must stuff the suitcase to bursting capacity. Once on vacation I usually wear the same outfit 4 days in a row...because, well I'm on vacation! I hope this doesn't happen on this trip, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

On another note, we have nice couches but for some reason Charlie prefers to sit on the floor. He's a puzzler.

Something You Hate To Do:

Thinking about Monday on a Sunday. What a drag. Especially after such a fun weekend. I was going to take a picture of cleaning the toilet, but that's kinda grottie. The only up side is that there is only one week left of work until my vacation! Another upside is that my good friend Cait is still here for one more night and today was a great day skiing with my friends and family. I guess I can't complain.

Drink:

Charlie has been drinking hot chocolate with whipped cream. Sometimes he adds Kahlua. I stick to milk.  I like this mug, it's from a race Charlie and I like to run in my hometown. He usually wins. It's a good drink to have after a long day of skiing.
