A year or so of daily life: April 12-22, 2011

Tues., April 12, 2011

Extra burlap + spring ribbon + a wire hanger = a spring wreath!

Wed., April 13, 2011

the polka dot bikini

Thurs., April 14: 2011

super huge balloons at the President's Ice Cream Social. Wowza. 

Fri., April 15, 2011 and Sat., April 16, 2011

No pictures. Spring game weekend!

Sun., April 17, 2011

Early morning after a thunderstorm.

Wed., April 20, 2011

Guess who had to get stitches last night? That husband of mine. His reward after the ordeal (at about 1 a.m.) was a bowl of ice cream. 

Thurs., April 21, 2011

Coneflowers blooming everywhere on my run. I may have stopped in the middle of it to take this picture.

A year or so of daily life: March 28- April 11, 2011

In August, I began the Photo 365 challenge - a photo a day for a full year. I've decided to call mine "A year or so of daily life: Chronicling our life in Tallahassee and the latter half of graduate school one day at a time." I hope you enjoy a sampling of our daily life!

I hope you're ready for a lot of pictures. I haven't uploaded in a long time! I can't believe we're almost to the middle of April already. The time, it flies. 

Mon., March 28: Who doesn't love a good margarita? 

Tues., March 29: OK, so, this is a little gauche, but I had to take a picture of my haircut. It's still doing what I want it to, and it still looks cute! Narcissism over. 

Wed., March 30: Aaron is usually home from set on Wednesday nights, and so on his one night off I try to cook something different (plus it's a part of my resolved in 2011 list). Tonight I tried my hand at Greek food. 

Thurs., March 31: It looks like Chipotle is the place to be if you're a biker cop. I counted 14 motorcycle cops and 2 police cruisers in the parking lot at lunch! 

Fri., April 1: A disappointing dinner at Chez PIerre, but at least we had nice glasses of wine at the Wine Loft. 

Sat., April 2: Supper with family at Jonah's Fish and Grits and late-night wine and cheese. 

Sun., April 3: My phone corrects "meowing" to "Beowulf," confusing Aaron and making me laugh a lot. 

Mon., April 4: no pic

Tues., April 5: My fave lunch- eggs and a salad with a little freshly grated parmesan. 

Wed., April 6: Night off = date night at Peppers. 

Thurs., April 7: On campus for a photo shoot, and we ended up by the Film School. It never ends. ;) 

Fri., April 8: Favorite big oak tree with Spanish moss on campus. The Spanish moss is so indicative of this area, and its haunting beauty is something I love about Tallahassee. 

Sat., April 9: The great voicefail of 2011. 

Sun., April 10: Toby watching the Masters tournament. Since Aaron was on set, old Toad had to watch some golf. Watching this made me consider potentially checking out a golf clinic offered by the university's instructors. 

Mon., April 11: An evening walk through the neighborhood. It's already 90 degrees, and I'm allergic to everything floating in the air, but it's nice to see these pretty little roses popping up everywhere.

Whew, it's been a long time since I've done a post! I'm 190 pictures in on my Year or So of Daily Life project, and I want to get better about archiving the images here. I am lamenting my iPhone 3G and it's incapability of focusing like Aaron's 3GS. Here are the photos from March 20 to March 27, 2011.

Sun., March 20
Actually, I never got to mark the slate, and my whole life is a lie. I did get to pose with it, though. 

Mon., March 21:
My fortune cookie from lunch said this would be the magical day for filming; I regret to inform you it was not. That bottom right picture? That's a car stuck in a foot of sand at 11 p.m. All I wanted at that point is to get out of the damn marsh and shower. 

Tues., March 22
Sarge, Walter and the POW. POW was actually listening to his Arabic between takes, which is the iPod cord you see dangling next to his semi-automatic weapon. This is also the last day of filming Aaron's thesis. I took two days off of work to sit in the marsh lands of Bald Point State Park and pretend to be the executive producer.

Wed., March 23:
This is Liberte yogurt. I was not a yogurt fan, not regular nor Greek, until on a whim I tried this God-breathed excellence. I implore you (yes) to try some. It's practically replaced ice cream as the most delicious desert ever. Try lemon or blackberry. We buy ours at Earth Fare and Publix.

Thurs., March 24:
New haircut day + date night at Ted's. Aaron called and asked me if I would go on a date with him for surviving thesis filming. I said yes and we had a most lovely, delicious dinner. We both ordered steaks. One of us ate all of his or her food; the other ate half and got to eat the other half for lunch the next day. 

Sat., March 26:
Pool opening! First day at of the year to spend poolside. Our apartment complex has a pretty sweet set-up, and I went early so I got a prime seat. The funny thing about living in Tallahassee is you can lay out in March because it's warm enough, but you can't lay out in July or August because it's TOO warm.

Sun., March 27:
I washed my car (Bumblebee) today for the first time in a LONG time. My dad would be ashamed of me. Also, new nail polish: Essie's Geranium. Also also: I followed Darby's tutorial and breathed new life into a $12 Walmart dress and $2 package of buttons. Explanatory post to come because I love how it turned out!

A year or so of daily life: January 9-21, 2011

That's quite a catch-up post! I will do better this week.

Sun., Jan. 2, 2011:
Back to home base after our 3238.6 mile journey from Florida to Texas to Nebraska and back again. 

Mon., Jan. 3, 2011:
My favorite Christmas gift. Aaron Santa left this dish towel in my stocking. He obviously knows I love a little coffee with my cream!

Tues., Jan. 4, 2011:
My sweet niece Imogen's one month birthday. I took this picture over our Christmas vacation, but I had to use it for this day. 

Wed., Jan. 5, 2011:
Aaron's last night home before thesis cycle begins. We celebrated with Mexican coke and a movie.

Thurs., Jan. 6, 2011:
A little fun with Photoshop. You can read about the plan for our living room here. 

Fri., Jan. 7, 2011:
The very inconspicuous package left on our doorstep. It made me laugh for hours.

Sat., Jan. 8, 2011:
My super cute sound-mixing husband on set of the first thesis show of the year. Today was the first time I've been on set this cycle.
