A Day In the Life

On Tuesday, I dutifully carried around a camera* and did my best to photograph my day for the A Day Project.

It was a pretty boring day.
Here's the unabridged version


The day started the same way my mornings always start, with coffee.


Unfortunately my new job requires me to go in early (for me). I check my emails after getting dressed.


I head to work with my travel mug of coffee firmly in hand. I've usually also got a thermos with me.


I have a pretty nice view on my commute.


I normally pack a lunch, but since we didn't have any leftovers in the fridge, I treated myself to a BLT.


It was a beautiful day for lunch on the lawn on the hill.


Chris had to run some errands downtown so he met me after work.


After a long day,  it's time for some home brew and a snack.


I do the dishes while Chris gets started on dinner.


I'm so lucky that Chris is a great cook. Me made us a delicious meal.


After dinner, we start a load of laundry - yup, we lead glamorous lives.


Barley and Juniper (not pictured) hang out with us and are as adorable as always.


Most nights when we're staying home we'll watch something on Netflix, while I work  on whatever craft project is keeping me busy. But I just got Chris Skyrim for our anniversary (it arrived on Monday).


So we were totally engrossed in battling giant spiders and stayed up way too late fighting the undead.

You can see my aday.org profile here - I'm looking forward to seeing how our uneventful day compares to the May 15th experienced around the world!


*Chris notes that I always carry a camera, which is true, but I don't usually shoot boring stuff like my morning coffee or doing the dishes

Flash's Guardians of the Galaxy Birthday Party

Image
As Axel's birthday falls so close to Halloween, I was hoping to save a little sanity by working his Halloween costume into his party theme. He was really excited about his upcoming Rocket and Groot party, but, three-year-olds being the fickle creatures that they are, on the day of the party he insisted that he would be the Flash and nothing could convince him otherwise. Now that Axel is getting older he has strong opinions on things, like how his party should be, which can be a little challenging for me, but on the flip side he is able to help out with the preparations which is a lot of fun. This theme worked well for the skill levels of a preschooler since nebulas and starscapes don't need to be precise and actually look best a little messy. My little helper and I had a great time baking and decorating galaxy star sugar cookies and painting the photobooth backdrop. His pride in the projects was so heartwarming, I'm smiling just thinking of it.   We als...

She's a beast. A 2000 Ford E-150, she's had a pretty rough life. She's been an airport shuttle bus and hauled countless lengths of hardwood for a flooring company. But life is about to get much better as she's now been tasked with taking us on an epic road trip. It'll be fun times like this and this

Superman Saga

I previously posted that Chris and I were making Superman costumes for Burning Man. In honour of the Metropolis theme, a world record breaking gathering of people dressed as Superman was scheduled for noon on Burn Day and we didn't want to miss out on the fun. On top of our own costumes, I was making S shield patches to give out to anyone who may have forgotten their superhero outfits at home. Unfortunately, I didn't buy the iron-on interfacing for the patches (and read the instructions) until I had already traced and cut out a couple dozen red logos . Only afterwards did I realize that it would be much easier to iron the interfacing to the red fabric before cutting it all out. So I started over. Luckily I had plenty of free red t-shirts to use and many many hours of riding in Bertha to spend cutting. I ironed the red shields onto a $2 yellow sheet in our hotel room in Reno and then added another layer of interfacing so the patches could be ironed onto shirts. Since...
