Day Three Hundred & Sixty-Six. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Sixty-Six. - Letting Go. - Apparently 2008 was a leap year hence the reason I'm uploading just one more. Although this shoot was fun, Mr. V helped me, it did not turn out the way I planned it at all. Since I'm finished with my Project 365 for this year I wanted to do a picture of me running through the finish line so to speak. And since it's winter of course I'd be running in sweats and long sleeves. I also wanted to have 'Project 365' on my back in Pink and Blue, since I upload on Flickr, but I couldn't figure out how to do that either so it didn't happen. So, here, I am with this shot and I feel like it's not as good as it could of been since this is the end of my Project I wanted to go out with a bang. I think the title "Letting Go" is perfect for the pose of this photo. But what am I letting go of? Project 365? 2008? Worry/Stress? 2008 as an amazing year for me, I got married, bought a house, got a brand new car, and a adorable little puppy. 2009 has some big shoes to fill but I am excited to see where this year brings me. As far as Project 365 goes I'm not sure if I want to start it up again since we are in two weeks to the new year, but I might. Of course I'll always be taking photos and finding ways to improve my skills. Maybe that will be the goal of my new Project when I start one. I know that throughout the year it started to get really hard trying to come up with creative, new, things to take photos of but I somehow managed to pull it off. I really enjoyed this and I'm proud of a lot of my photos and glad that I had people actually looking at my photos. So here's to Project 365 and 2008, only time will tell what happens next!

If I only had a brain..

Then I would have known that I'm not on Days Two Hundred but that I'm on Days Three Hundred. I apologize for anyone who has been reading for the past couple of weeks, I'm sure you have been confused. I feel a bit silly but I am blaming it on the Holidays, Stress and lack of sleep. Yep, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I've now edited all the entries so that they are in order. I'm glad I caught it considering today is my 365th day and tomorrow will be my last day of this Project. I'm not sure how I feel about starting a new Project two weeks into a New Year so we will see if I start it again or not.

Anyway, just wanted to clear up the confusion and bring light to my mistake.

Day Three Hundred & Sixty-Four. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Sixty-Four. - A Boy's Thoughts. - From the visit with Mr. V's Mom he brought home two containers full of things from his childhood that we will now be storing at our home. This is Mr. V's journal from when he was a little boy. Is hand writing has not improved over the years and I had trouble reading most of what he wrote. It was fun to read the few pages that he wrote and know what he was like as a kid!

Day Three Hundred & Sixty-Three. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Sixty-Three. - Beautiful Country. - Mr. V and I visted his Uncle's church this Sunday to see the family since we haven't been down there in a while and haven't seen his Uncle since the wedding. I also got to meet a lot of people that Mr. V grew up with and they were all so friendly and nice. After the church service ended we went to lunch with his Mom, sister and brother and then headed over to their house. I ended up falling asleep and stayed asleep the entire time we were there, about a hour and a half. After that we started to head home and I was going to take a shot of the river as we passed by because it has these huge trees poking out of the water but we ended up taking a wrong turn and found ourselves back at the freeway. Instead of just going home we found a dirt road and I stopped to snap a few photos before we made our way home. It was an adventure and I think the shot turned out pretty good!

Day Three Hundred & Sixty-One. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Sixty-One. - Writing Sample. - On Flickr I was tagged by Jaclyn Michele to do a writing sample. Even though I've always hated my hand writing I thought it would be a fun thing to do. As you can see I had no pretty crayons or colored pencils, or even pens, but I did my best with my handy black pen. And I would say I did this quickly and only once but that is not the case. I used at least four pieces of paper and finally settled on this, wasteful I know, because to me my handwriting just isn't that pretty. And girls are suppose to have nice handwriting, right?

Day Three Hundred & Fifty-Nine. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Fifty-Nine. - I hear the train a comin'. - I was telling Mr. V that it's a shame that we live so close to a train track but I've never gotten a photo of the train. So on my way home from work I heard the train whistle blowing and decided to snap a photo of the train. At a stoplight I rolled down my window and had the perfect opprotunity to catch the train just as it was taking off. I'm not sure, though, if the photo is too dark to actually tell what it is a photo of.

Day Three Hundred & Fifty-Three. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Fifty-Three. - Out in the Country. - I've been wanting a video game, Mario Kart, and if you know me then you know that in its self is a big deal because I dislike most video games. Anyway, we had been looking around at various Wal-Marts close to us and found one about fifteen minutes away in Azle. After driving down the back roads to get there we found out that they were all sold out which was really a bummer. I wanted to get a picture of the water tower and ended up with this. I think it was too dark to actually see and it looks blurry because of the wind. I also should have cropped out the cars in the parking lot but I was lazy. It was interesting out in the little city to say the least, though.

Day Three Hundred & Fifty. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Fifty. - Brand New Bag. - Mom let me borrow her bag that I had eyed while we were visitng and I just got around to switching from my Black and White D&G to this. This bag is a lot easier to find things in but it's alot better then my bag before. One of these days I will find a bag that I love and have no complaints with.

Day Three Hundred & Forty-Eight. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Forty-Eight. - Good 'Ol Jack. - Jack, 1554, Miller Lite, Wii Sports, Friends, Pork Chops, Mashed Potatoes. Was a fun night, indeed.

Day Three Hundred & Thirty-Six. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Thirty-Six. - Owners Manual. - Today I had to break out my owners manual for my car since I have no idea what the little light indicates that has been popping up recently. Apparently my tire pressure is low. I'm starting to grow tired of this car, already, because every since the wreck nothing has been the same. I suppose I'll have to get Mr. V to check my tire pressure, hopefully I didn't run over a nail!

Day Three Hundred & Twenty-Eight. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Twenty-Eight. - This Old House. - While driving my cousin back to her house we decided to stop by my old house. She lives out in the country and we used to live a block away from her, in the same subdivision. Now when we lived at this house it looked now where near that nice, mind you that is a mobile home, but it was in the process of being fixed up. My jaw literally dropped when I saw it because it looks nothing like I remember. I'm just so glad people are taking care of the house unlike the rest of the neighborhood.

Day Three Hundred & Twenty-Six. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Twenty-Six. - Lonely Wife. - Mr. V went camping with the boys and I couldn't bear to sleep alone in our bed. So, I slept on the couch all weekend. This may sound absurd but since we've been together we've slept apart maybe three times and I've never been alone in that house, overnight, so it was a little strange for me.

Day Three Hundred & Twenty-Four. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Twenty-Four. - Stamps of the States. - One of my duties of working in a office is stamping outgoing mail and I found these stamps really interesting. Each stamp had a different state on them with their flag printed on it. Pretty cool, eh?

Day Three Hundred & Seven. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Seven. - Clothes Shopping. - We dropped by JcPenny to exchange a broken piece of dinnerware, for the second time, and ended up using our gift cards to buy a new outfit for the each of us. Since I only have one pair of slacks that actually fit me I was going to try to find a pair, in black, to be able to wear. Well apparently I'm just too damn short to find a pair that actually fits me in length and width, so I just ended up buying a skirt and a cute sweater. Mr. V ended up finding a really nice white button down shirt, most of his shirts are dark brown/black, and a black and white sweater to go over the shirt. He looks so handsome! I guess you could say it's a early Christmas present to ourselves.

Day Three Hundred & Three. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Three. - Just Waiting. - A photo of me waiting for our Manager to arrive at work. Nothing special.

Day Three Hundred & One. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & One. - Blurry Night. - Since it had been raining all day and evening I was going to try and catch the rain as it was falling while outside watching. After a number of shots I, dissapointingly, gave up knowing that I wouldn't be able to capture what I wanted. So, this is my awful attempt at capturing rain drops, you can seem a little stream of rain falling off the edge of the roof if you look close enough. Fail.

Day Two Hundred & Ninety-Nine. - Project 365.

Day Two Hundred & Ninety-Nine. - That Time of the Year. - With the weather getting colder and colder each day it's only apporpraite that shoes change as well. No more open toed heels, or flip flops, for me it's time to break out the knee high boots and closed toed ones. Makes me excited about Winter and the weather getting colder!

Day Two Hundred & Ninety-Eight. - Project 365.

Day Two Hundred & Ninety-Eight. - Surprising Gas Prices. - I was so happy to see this as we pulled up to the pump. And even more happy to know that it took less then 25 dollars to completly fill up my tank. I really hope the prices either stay at this price or drop even lower. It's great to see them finally going down instead of up.

Day Two Hundred & Ninety-Five. - Project 365.

Day Two Hundred & Ninety-Five. - Driving Home. - Proof that it is dark as I am going home from work at six in the evening. I just had to catch the last glimpse of sunshine since I hardly see it anymore.

Day Two Hundred & Eighty-Four. - Project 365.

Day Two Hundred & Eighty-Four. - Wine Shopping. - Since the Halloween shop was overly crowded we decided to stop a little shop next door that sells really good wine at cheap prices. Pinot Nior's are my favorite so we picked up a bottle of that and another one for William. It had been a while, last Christmas I believe, since we had been wine shopping and everything was set up differently then we remembered. Some of our favorites were not even there anymore. I am excited to try new brands and flavors, though.
