Day 174 of 365: Clean up time!

This is how I spent the majority of my "day off"- deep cleaning my fridge. It looks pretty damn good, though (if I say so myself). It is very calming to open and look into the nicely organized shelves now! I vow to keep it like this! I will! I need to have a strict rule with leftovers-
48 hours to eat them or they are trash. I also need to stop buying so much salsa. I swear there were 10 half-used jars. Crazy.

Day 172 of 365: Addiction

Just the beginning of my list of shows... I need to clear out some of the ones I've now downloaded on my computer. And no judgment on anything I've chosen to watch! lol Ghost Whisperer is a quality show!

Day 171 of 365: So.. close...

I hate this light. I've spent countless minutes- hours even??- waiting at this damned light. It's the only way to get from the supermarket across the street to my apartments. Really- no other back way out. Such a pain because the timing is really bad. It's always at least a 3 minute wait to cross if you just miss it (which of course I always do, since it's only about 10 seconds long to cross). I should start keeping track of the time I spend sitting in front of this light!

Day 167 of 365: It's a beautiful day!

I was just about to leave my apartment this morning when I saw the colors outside of my window. I wasn't sure if the camera would be able to capture them, but it seems to have done an okay job. The weather has become quite spring-like. It's a shame I have to work late every night this week and can't even enjoy it. I've definitely caught spring fever, though! Yea for not having to wear a coat!

Day 154 of 365: Room with a view...

View from my bed. I like this view because it means I'm in bed! Heh. It's a bit messy there in the corner at the moment because of some clothes that don't fit into the drawers and some random items on the dresser. Oh well. I live here and have stuff. ;) I only wish I could stay in bed more hours of the day! 4 or 5 hours of sleep just isn't enough.

Day 125 of 365: It's a Beautiful Day!

This is the entrance sign to my apartment complex. I was sitting in my car at the red light waiting to turn left on my way to the running shop tonight. I figured I'd better go ahead and take my blog photo of the beautiful sunshine since by the time I leave work, it's dark already..... This was the first clear, blue day like this in a long while. The temperature was about 57 degrees (13C) and lovely for the run I took earlier today! It was quite windy, but the sunshine more than made up for that! I was just so thankful I wasn't stuck inside a school building or in my car going to tutor or something. I don't get many nice days like this with few obligations. Glad I could take true advantage! :)

Day 48 of 365: I see the moon and the moon sees me!

This was the moon I saw as I stopped for the mail at the mailbox hut tonight. I liked the color of the sky and the full (or nearly full) moon over the rooftop. That building is my apartment building. I turn left at the street before it and go around to the parking lot on the other side. My apartment faces that parking lot.

Day 28 of 365: Kitties!

This is one of the stray cats living in the parking lot of my apartment building. There were actually a family of about 6 or 7 this time last year, but a neighbor took it upon herself to take care of them. She started by just feeding them, then slowly gaining their trust so she could approach them. She then slowly started taking some into her apartment and house/hand trained them. There are two left. I think she told me that they just didn't want to become hand friendly. They like to stay in this corner of the parking lot as if its their house! I sometimes speak to them if they are there when I get home. I've never been able to pet one, though.

Day 9 of 365- Morning Traffic

This is my normal morning traffic just trying to turn right out of my apartment. There is a Starbucks in the strip mall in front of the entrance so there is quite a backup of people coming and going to get their daily $5 fix. Notice all those stupid trucks and SUVs and other general gas-guzzlers. On the left, you can see the sidewalk where I start/end most of my runs. I walk to the corner there from my apartment (approximately 3-4 minute walk- just long enough for one song to play as a warm up on my ipod).

Day 6 of 365- Shrooms!

A couple of the mushrooms that have popped up along the sidewalk (pavement) I use to walk up to the street to start my morning runs. I think they look friendly.

*Sidenote: I was going to save the mushrooms for tomorrow, because the plan was to get a pedicure today, since it's Labor day and I have the day off! Wouldn't you know it, they took the day off, too!! Oh well.. later in the week or next weekend....
