And that’s a wrap!

Well my friends,

it’s March now. No more photo a day. Although I have sources that tell me that my little endeavor here was a little boring (thanks a LOT grandpa! I suppose it’ll be more exciting when I blog about visiting YOU?! ;)

Anyway, I did it! (mostly…there was that one day I missed…but at least I had the picture ready…) So I made a fun collage to showcase allll the pictures I took for this month!

And I have to say, I’m a little relieved it’s over. ;) But NOW that it’s march I can finally say we’re moving NEXT month! Hurray!

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/29

Last Day! Last Day!

Something you’re listening to:

(You might not be able to tell – which is why I’m going to inform you ;) – but the wind is HOWLING outside. Sounds like a storm is coming in…and it was a gorgeous 60 degrees outside today! what is up with that, huh?)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/28

Money:

(Laundry day. Our new apartment in Maryland will have a washer and dryer in the apartment. Definitely looking forward to not having to worry about whether or not I have enough quarters… ;)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/27

Something you ate:

(hate to break it to you, but if you didn’t get some of these while they were out for Valentine’s…you missed out. These are goooooood. And yes, I finished off the bag today. What!? There were only 3 left!)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/26

Night:

(Thank you picnik, for helping me make my pictures look like I know what I’m doing when I wield a camera in the dark. I don’t know what I’d do without your auto-fix button. WHY do you have to close down?!)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/25

Green:

(Okay, so the picture didn’t come out as green as I’d like, but you get the idea ;) John and I went to the city today to visit the Swedish American museum (why, you ask? Because we can) – and downtown is already getting ready for St. Patrick’s Day!)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/23…and 2/24…

GAH! I missed a day!!!! I was doing so good too… I think the fact that I accidentally dropped my phone – yes the brand new one I blogged about, what, a week ago? - in the toilet (long story, but there was just water in the toilet – promise) and the fact that I feel like a complete idiot threw me off a little bit. So I missed yesterday. But I have it today! And for good measure, I already have today’s picture ready to go too.

What a day…

Anyway 2.23: Your shoes:

(These are not all my shoes…but my favorites :)

Annnnddd today, 2.24: Inside your bathroom cabinet:

(We actually don’t have much in there, it’s all in the stockpile closet I showed you. But I’ve had these little jars since college. They are from IKEA. I still remember that trip with my roommates. Man, that was awesome.)

Where you work:

(“work” being a loose term here ;) but if you look closely at my laptop in the picture, you get a sneak peek at what I’m currently working on!)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/21

A Fave Photo of You:

(I love this picture. Mostly because it’s an awesome one of me and John. And like I told John tonight: “You + Me = favorite” ;)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/20

Handwriting:

(We came up with a training schedule for the warrior dash…while we ate dessert at the cheesecake factory… ;)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/19

Something you hate to do:

(switch over blog info…and wait a bazillion years to wait for everything to load…only to find that it doesn’t work and you could have saved so much time by simply changing admins…if only I’d known sooner…)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/18

Drink:

(Trying to get through two of these bad boys a DAY to stay hydrated for warrior training!)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/17

Time:

(I wonder what will happen this year…?)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/16

Something New:

(I’m attempting to make cake pops. Again. With my aunt. Again. ;) I’ve only done it once before, so it’s still new. Promise. Should be an adventure!)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/15

Phone:

(Whoa, was this challenge totally meant to document my life this month or what? I got this new phone today! And, fyi, I had to manually enter in all of my old contacts (long story)…so hopefully your number made it into this new gizmo…;)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/14

Heart:

(this is the card that John made me for Valentines day :) Happy Valentine’s everyone!)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/13

Blue:

(the globe I got John for Christmas…)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/12

Whew! Almost didn’t make it today, just got home from the airport after a weekend outing in Maryland to look for an apartment. More on that later. I’m exhausted.

Today – inside my closet:

(This is actually my couponing/stockpiling closet – you really don’t want to see my bedroom closet right now, promise – it’s not as organized as I’d like at the moment, but it serves its purpose. And yes, I probably have 10 years worth of bathroom cleaner on the bottom shelf there…)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/11

Makes me happy:

(this boy makes me happier than I ever thought possible! Love you!!)

February Photo a Day Challenge 2/10

Whew! Almost didn’t make it today. Been up since 3:45am this morning to catch a flight to Maryland so we could go apartment hunting for the weekend. 6 apartment complexes later…well…we’re closer, but haven’t quite made a decision yet. And it’s only about 8:45pm in Chicago and we. are. beat. I’ve already had some I’m-so-tired-I’m-loopy-and-make-no-sense episodes. I’m totally going to bed as soon as I publish this. ;)

Anyway, today is self portrait:

(You know, I don’t mind people taking pictures of me, but there’s a reason I don’t take them of myself. I think this picture fully captures my dorkiness in attempting to make a cute picture of myself. And my lack of ability in working with lighting and photography. Oh well. But isn’t my new brown scarf adorable?! I have successfully replicated an outfit I love on pinterest. score.)
