MacGyver & 365

I've decided to go to bed early tonight, but thought I'd blog first.

365: I'll get to it at the end.

This weekend was bleh.

Saturday, in attempt to justify not wanting to workout, I decided to go for an athletic walk. Not a stroll, not an enjoy the weather walk, no winin' n' walkin'. Problem: it was raining. Common sense kicked it & told me to wear shorts so that my pants wouldn't get soaked. It was also chilly outside, so I wore a hoodie, but I was attempting to raise my heart rate a little & mayyyyybe break a sweat.

I'm a silly girl, though. Sometimes I lock my door when I go on walks & bring my keys. Sometime I leave my door unlocked because my apartment is in a house so I think that automatically makes me safe (doesn't). Saturday I locked my door & didn't bring my keys.

I was also soaking wet from walking in the rain.

No problem. I have a spare key to apt in my car. Crap. The hide-a-key to my car is in the apartment because my car was in the shop. Fine. I'll pick the lock (yes, I can). Crap. No bobby pins or the like. It's okay. I can break in with a credit card (yes, I can). Crap. I don't have one. I'll just use cardstock from mailers in the recycle bin. Crap. They're all floppy from the rain/humidity. IT'S OKAY I CAN FIGURE THIS OUT BECAUSE I'M HANDY & I DON'T WANT TO CALL A FREAKING LOCKSMITH....SO I'LL JUST USE THE LID OF THIS EMPTY CAN OF FOOD TO BREAK IN. Nevermind that it's metal.

Don't worry though. I got in. I was basically MacGyver & used a food can lid to break into my apartment.

I did end up with FIVE lovely cuts on my hands from playing with sharp metal. I whined about it all night.

I woke up the next morning with a cold (stranded outside of apartment soaking wet in chilly weather for 30 minutes trying to break in will do that). I'm so great.

MacGyver should take notes.

I am now recovered from my cold/illness. I have quarantined myself in my apartment unless absolutely necessary because I am terrified that I will catch whatever stomach flu is going around. My body can't handle 48 hours of nonstop vom/runs. That was a really gross image, sorry.

Anyway, Project 365.

Day 51: Yummy healthy dinner! Lemon baked tilapia, broccoli, salad & water!

Day 52: Sometimes, Pad Thai is the only thing I can think of & I have to have it. It's a little ridiculous, but my Aunt Kim & I think there is something literally addicting about the spice.

Day 56: I'm sick, so Tucker makes it all better. He's being crushed under my legs & could care less!! (Good puppy)

04/19/2010

Day 57: I'm still not healthy/lively enough to be in any pictures. This was a fun game to play with Tucker. I call it "torture the lonely puppy" :o(

#FAIL

I have really been dropping the ball on this Project 365 thing.

I HAVE been taking photos every day, It's just been kinda like "Oh, crap, I havn't taken any pictures yet.

DAY 4 : These are the girls in my Business of Media class, Chelsea (on the left) & Alex. This class lasts from 6:00-10:00, so it's really nice having people that I get along with to numb the exhausting pain! This picture was taken at 10:00, so we look a little sleepy :o).

02/26/2010

DAY 5 : I made stuffed mushrooms for dinner! I could only eat 3 LOL. I went out this night, but I never took my camera out of my bag. Again, #FAIL.

02/27/2010

DAY 6 : I did NOT go out this Saturday night. I wanted too, but I couldn't find anything to do. I ended up watching The Beach and drinking some vino. Tucker kept me company all day!!

02/28/2010

DAY 7 : I spent all day Sunday studying. I know, way lame. But, I didn't get anything done this last week, so I knew I needed to play catch up during the weekend. Tucker studied, too. I really should not have two pictures of the dog in a row, and I'm pretty disappointed in myself haha. Regardless, this picture CRACKS ME UP!

Project 365

Just as a recap, Project 365 is a year-long photography endeavor. You take one picture everyday for a year that best encompasses your activities & priorities. I decided to do this for my 24th year.

Lost my voice one day, sick as hell the next. I will not be in any pictures today.

No Title Here

I'm so bored. I have nothing to do.

scratch that.

I have plenty to do, I just choose to do nothing this moment in time.

Yesterday sucked. I hate that outlook, but it did.

I woke up way too early, cleaned, and then I went to go get my car cleaned. I picked everything up and put it into a laundry basket (since I had been living in my car for the last 2 months, this size was necessary), then vacuumed it out. It was really cold outside, of course, and my legs started hurting. Being as tough as I am, I continued my mission to clean my car. I then put 3 dollars in quarters into the car wash station hose. !@#!@!@#!@# It was frozen. It was not frozen a week ago!!! It was not frozen right after the snow! But it was frozen the day I actually needed to clean my car. Nevertheless, I abandoned the car wash station. On the way home I realized that my legs still hurt. Without a current mission, there was nothing to distract from discomfort turned to adrenaline rising pain ALL OVER MY LEGS.

Since it felt like I was being eaten alive by ants, the first thing I did once getting back to my apartment was strip down. No ants. Then, I started scratching...WHICH HURT. Then I rubbed half a tube of hydrocortizone all over my legs. Then, I noticed the welts on my legs. wtf. I was having an allergic reaction to the cold. Yes, it happens. At least, I'm guessing this is what happened. I had large hives all over my legs, and it was gross. I took a benedryl, napped, and woke up to non-welty bliss.

To rest my body after the recent trauma, I sat on my couch watching E! for the next 3 hours. Then I bought my new computer to make sure that I would be happy with my decision to get off my butt.

As night fell, I really wanted to go out. I was about to start making plans...when...*gurgle.* My stomach kept me in (and up) all night :o(. You don't need any more details.

Needless to say, yesterday sucked.

But, I AMMM excited for a couple of things.

1. Dallas next week
2. Tucson next week
3. School starting soon
4. My new Macbook Pro!!
