Tumblr 366

While I haven’t been blogging here since January I have been posting somewhere else, Tumblr. My goal is to post a photo everyday of 2012… and hopefully continue to 2013 etc.


I don’t have a fancy camera (as I’m sure you’ve noticed) and all the pictures are taken with my phone, because I can upload them to the site with my handy dandy Tumblr App. It’s just fun to look back on all the pictures and remember what I was going then.

With this, I also joined a project called #Click366, started by Kira at Her New Leaf. This site compiles the photo a day Tumblrs of a bunch of us on one site.


I’m new to Tumblr this year and I’m already SO VERY addicted and I’ve found a few great ones to follow. My current favorite is Mean Girls of Panem, it combines stills from The Hunger Games movie with quotes from Mean Girls… basically 2 of my favorite things.

Do you have a Tumblr? or a favorite one you follow? Please share it in the comments.

Sept 30th - End of September Portrait

Special thinks to my buddy, Jeannie, for taking this picture of us at school the other day. Here I am with 2 good friends I’ve met through school, Jeannie and Dani. We’re stalling waiting to go to class, one of our last courses in school.

Sept 29th – A Look

My Mom bought be this sheep about 7 years ago. She is one of the few personal items I keep on my desk at work. My Dad (who I work for) used to steel her jacket or hid her in my desk, but since I moved desks a few years I ago she’s been safe because I can hide her under my shelf. I chose to use her for today because she has a sophisticated “look” for a sheep ;-)

Sept 28th - When I Wake-up...

Yep, 6am. Some of you may wake-up earlier than that and for that, I’m sorry, and some of you may think that is way to early and to you I say, “Yes, yes it is.”

When do you wake up?

Sept 27th – What I Drank

It’s been pretty chilly in the mornings here lately so I’ve been taking advantage of our office Keurig. I use it to brew hot tea because can’t drink (and don’t really like coffee – I know!). My SIL, Linda, gave me this super cute heart mug for the first Christmas we celebrated together.

Sept 26th – Closed Space

Since I’m pretty much doing this whole challenge on my phone’s camera AND my phone’s camera doesn’t have a light. (Dumb) I can’t really take a picture in a closed space without windows, unless I want a completely black photo. Then it hit my when I got in my car, this is a closed space!

Sept 25th – Sunday Morning

This morning Hubs went down to San Diego to spend the day at a car show with his dad and I went to breakfast with one of my oldest and bestest friends, Jane. I saw these beautiful purple roses on our way.

Sept 24th – When Night Falls

Tonight, Hubs & I went to out to dinner with our good friends, Jeremiah & Tiffany, for Tiffany’s, birthday. I took this picture while sitting in the backseat of Jer’s Chevy Camaro… we were going pretty fast, if you can’t tell. The good news? We made it to dinner on time ;-)

Sept 23rd – Unusual Object

About 5 years ago we inherited this binder dealy thing from our office neighbors. They were going to throw it out and for some reason we thought we’d use it. We haven’t. Not once. It just sits on my co-worker’s file cabinet and collects dust. Lots of dust. Oh, and it’s SUPER heavy.

Sept 22nd – My Diary

Yes, yet another picture of my computer monitor. I wish I had a diary to take a picture of, but I’ve never been very good at keeping a diary… insight into why I’m not a very wordy blogger. This is my diary. Not in a I-tell-it-my-deepest-darkest-secrets kinda way, but in a I’m-documenting-my-life-kinda way. Especially, in the context of these photo challenges.

Sept 21st – Something That Comforts Me

Okay so the real challenge for today was “Sunday Morning”, but seeing as how it’s Wednesday, I decided to trade Sunday’s challenge with today’s. You tracking?

Is that bad? ;-)

Sept 20th – Tea Time

Luckily for me, and this photo challenge, our company bank rep, Troy, brought my co-worker, Yolanda, and I Starbucks this morning. My drink of choice at Starbucks is Passion Tea, hot or cold, depending on the temperature. Side note: I wish we had tea time here in the states. One of my favorite things about visiting England was Tea Time. Plus the whole tea service would have made for a much cooler picture.

Sept 19th – Where I Feel Good

I don’t normally feel bad. I try to have a positive attitude, most of the time. Of course, like everyone else, I get in bad moods. Who doesn’t? So, I found this day a little difficult to figure out. Where don’t I feel good would have been any easier thing to take a picture of. Then I saw this patch of flower on the center divider near my apartment and it hit me. I always feel good around flowers. They make me happy and it’s kinda like the calm me.

Sept 18th – What I wore today….

I am SO not experienced at taking pictures of myself in bathroom… not.at.all. But here I am in my new Gap Top, Steinmart Skirt, and 3 year old Ann Taylor Loft wedge sandals.

Sept 17th – In the mirror…

This morning I actually made it back to Jazzercise for the first time in too many weeks. The weather may not have been the cheeriest, but I felt amazing after my morning workout.

Sept 16th – In the bathroom…

Our bathroom is black and white and I grew-up with Westie’s as pets, so when I saw this and TJ Maxx Home Goods, I HAD TO HAVE IT! We have a tiny bathroom and it fit perfectly above the towel bar.

Sept 15th – Today’s Small Pleasure

Today is a Sister Day, meaning I’m getting to spend a lot of time with my sister. We got food trucks for lunch and she’s coming over tonight for fro-yo and a movie. We’re going to watch X-Men first class because we’re a bit obsessed with X-Men movies and we haven’t seen it yet.

These are the tempeh bacon tacos we shared, along with some organic pesto fried rice, (all gluten free) from the Seabirds Truck today. It’s a small pleasure because it was time spent with my sister, plus we were eating organic food, purchased and made locally by a group of awesome women. I love being able to support local businesses, especially ones with a business ethic I respect.

October Photo Challenge

Okay, so we all know I’ve been doing a daily photo dealy here for the month of September. It’s fun, it’s getting me in the blogging groove again, I like it! And, from the comments I’ve received, I think you like it too :) Where am I going with this? If you can’t tell by the title of this post, I’ll be participating in another photo challenge in October.

Many of the photos really do look like a challenge. I might actually have to use my point and shoot camera, instead of my phone’s camera. Are you interested in participating in this challenge too? Let know Nellie, over at Our Wired Lives, know by commenting in her post here :) We’re tying to get a list together so we can all link to each others blogs throughout the month of October.

P.S. I’m planning on an design photo challenge for November, but I’m still working that out in my head. Would you be interested?

Sept 14th – The Weather

The news keeps saying we’re supposed to have thunder storms and rain, but I just don’t see it. Perhaps it’s happening in LA, but not down here in Newport Beach? I don’t know.

Sept 13th – Today’s News

What’s the news this morning? Target is selling out of the Missoni stuff like CRAZY! In other news, this isn’t even my picture, I stole it from Busy Philipps, who I like to pretend remembers me from college, but I’m pretty sure she has no clue who I am.
