Live With Less

This blog is intended to be an outlet for all of my forms of communication. Take note that I am very rarely serious, almost always sarcastic, constantly surprised by my own stupidity, sporatically intelligent, and annoyingly attached to a book most of the time. And as of January 5th, 2009, I am participating Project365. Basically, I will take at least one picture a day for a year and post it with a little blurb. Feel free to join me in this quest, people!

Day 72


Playing with Shanks before heading to bed. He's so freaking adorable!

Day 71



Before and after pics... sometimes I hate having my eyebrows done because of how bright red I get, but it's soooooooo worth it!

Day 70


Fill 'er up, please ;)

Day 69


My mom, sister, and I thoroughly enjoyed the Wicked experience! Elfie is a great character and it's about time I got to see a goat sing.

Day 68


Before dusting... yuck.

Day 67 - Photo Art



Even though the pictures of these flowers were pretty already, I decided to play around with the editing and see if I could make them "pop". And boy, am I glad I did! I'm totally digging these pictures!

Day 66


Finally... pictures of Pip in all his beautiful glory! He's growing up so darn fast! Such a little lion, huh?

Day 65 - Spring has come to Portland


It never ceases to amaze me after living in Portland for almost 7 years... how retarded the seasons are here! Seriously - I noticed that these flowers had bloomed during snow and freezing temps. So random, yet so Oregon. I love it!

Day 64

Again, this turned out to be a no picture day.

Day 63


This is BitBit at her calmest ;)

Day 62


Mmmmmmmm... Turkey Burger...

Day 61


My mom, sister, and I went to the Chris Tomlin concert tonight. It was amazing (all of his concerts are)! The sunset shot wasn't as dark and dramatic when I took it, but I like tweaking these types of pictures because they never come out right.

Day 60


I spent $5 on my first lotto ticket (not picture) today. I won $5 back and cashed it in along with a $1 winning ticket I forgot that I had in my desk drawer. I then spent the $6 I had won getting the four tickets pictured above. I won another $5 and spent it on another lotto ticket, which won me $7... which I ended up spending on another $5 lotto ticket. So, I won $17, but spent $15 of the winnings buying more stinking tickets. I ended up with $2. Yay for me! (It's a vicious cycle, I tell ya!)

Day 59


Dude, this new service thing, Clear, is EVERYWHERE! Today was the first time I saw their Clear-Mobile (ripped off from the Ikea-Mobile) and I snapped a quick pic as I was driving pass it. Ironic that the windows on the truck were dirty and I couldn't really see the "living room" inside all that well.

Day 58


For my sister's birthday (back in February), I got us tickets to see Kathy Griffin. It was a blast, to say the least, and her show was much funnier than I had hoped for!

Day 57


This is a snapshot of the song I was listening to when I pulled up to Subway to get dinner and found that they were closed due to "repairs". Ironic.

Day 55 & 56

Oye... it looks like I missed two days (in a row) this time! Crap! I'm slipping on this project!

Day 54


Yet another discovery on one of my walks through the Nike Campus. There are so many trails, I have no idea what I'll see next!

Day 53


This is just a random picture of the lock on my bookcase. I like the antique look.

Day 52


My office had sushi catered in for lunch today and I got a little too creative (and playful) with the left over wasabi and ginger. My coworker Liz thought bunny ears would add a nice touch to the picture ;)

Day 51


This is the best shot I got of my friend's other kitty, Blackie. He has a couple of extra digits on his front paws (along with several of the strays in the neighborhood) that enable him to lift off vent covers and close doors on himself.

Day 50


Everyone, meet Lexie. This little cutie is my friend's kitty. I'm taking care of her and her "brother" Blackie while my friend is in Mexico for the week. She's not terribly photogenic, but she is soooo freakin' adorable!

Day 49


Okay, I admit... this is not the best picture. But trust me - the sky was amazing right before sunset!

Day 48



I woke up this morning and decided to head over to the Nike Campus down the street from my house to attempt to walk/jog. I have this dream of becoming a jogger, but with my knee issues, I have to jog in spurts. Anyways, these are a couple of pictures I snapped along my workout. The fisherman happens to be a statue (if you can't tell), and the last picture is NOT a beaver. It's a Nutria. I walked right up to it and it just kept on munching on it's breakfast.

Day 47

It was bound to happen... I am human, after all.

I forgot to take a picture today. Crap!

Hopefully this will not become a trend.
